3 _______________
4
5 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
6
7 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
8 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
9
10 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
11 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
12 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
13 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
14 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
15
16 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
17 functions
18 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
19 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
20 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
21 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
22 These control ASN1 encoding details:
23 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
24 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
25 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
26 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
27 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
28 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
29 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
30
31 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
32 functions
33 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
34 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
35 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
36 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
37 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
38
39 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
40 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
41 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
42 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
43
44 *) Add functions
45 EC_POINT_point2bn()
46 EC_POINT_bn2point()
47 EC_POINT_point2hex()
48 EC_POINT_hex2point()
49 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
50 EC_POINT_oct2point().
51 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
52
53 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
54 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
55 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
56 EC_GROUP_get_order()
57 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
58 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
59 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
60 adding different types of curves.
61 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
62
63 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
64 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
65 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
66 [Bodo Moeller]
67
68 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
69 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
70
71 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
72 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
73 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
74 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
75
76 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
77
78 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
79 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
80
81 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
82 library. Most notably,
83 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
84 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
85 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
86 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
87 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
88 extracted before the specific public key.
89 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
90
91 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
92 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. The curves can be obtained from the new
93 functions
94 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid()
95 EC_GROUP_new_by_name()
96 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
97 accessed via
98 EC_GROUP_set_nid()
99 EC_GROUP_get_nid()
100 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
101
102 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
103
104 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
105 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
106 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
107 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
108
109 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
110 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
111 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
112
113 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
114 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
115 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
116 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
117
118 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
119 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
120 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
121 some local tweaks:
122
123 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
124 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
125 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
126 mkdir -p objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
127 cd objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
128 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f -o -type l) | while read F; do
129 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
130 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
131 done
132
133 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
134 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
135 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
136 [Richard Levitte]
137
138 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
139 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
140 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
141 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
142 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
143
144 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
145 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
146
147 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
148 error in AES-CFB decryption.
149 [Richard Levitte]
150
151 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
152 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
153 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
154 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
155 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
156 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
157 [Steve Henson]
158
159 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
160 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
161 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
162 [Steve Henson]
163
164 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
165 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
166 [Lutz Jaenicke]
167
168 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
169 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
170 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
171 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
172 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
173 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
174 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
175 [Lutz Jaenicke]
176
177 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
178 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
179 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
180 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
181 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
182 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
183 [Steve Henson]
184
185 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
186 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
187 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
188 declaration has been changed from
189 int (*cb)()
190 into
191 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
192 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
193 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
194 has been changed into
195 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
196
197 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
198 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
199 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
200
201 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
202 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
203
204 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
205 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
206 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
207 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
208 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
209 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
210 always load it have also been added.
211 [Steve Henson]
212
213 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
214 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
215 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
216
217 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
218
219 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
220 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
221 because it couldn't be used for anything.
222
223 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
224 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
225 command line option can be used to specify an
226 alternative file.
227 [Steve Henson]
228
229 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
230 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
231 [Steve Henson]
232
233 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
234 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
235 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
236 [Steve Henson]
237
238 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
239 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
240 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
241 to work with the new engine framework.
242 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
243
244 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
245 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
246 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
247 to work with the new engine framework.
248 [Richard Levitte]
249
250 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
251 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
252 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
253
254 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
255 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
256
257 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
258 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
259 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
260 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
261 FORMAT_IISSGC.
262 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
263
264 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
265 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
266
267 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
268 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
269
270 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
271 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
272 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
273 [Ben Laurie]
274
275 *) Add new functions
276 ERR_peek_last_error
277 ERR_peek_last_error_line
278 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
279 These are similar to
280 ERR_peek_error
281 ERR_peek_error_line
282 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
283 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
284 still in the error queue.
285 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
286
287 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
288 like:
289 default_algorithms = ALL
290 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
291 [Steve Henson]
292
293 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
294 [Steve Henson]
295
296 *) New experimental application configuration code.
297 [Steve Henson]
298
299 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
300 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
301 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
302 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
303
304 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
305 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
306
307 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
308 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
309
310 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
311 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
312 [Bodo Moeller]
313
314 *) New functions/macros
315
316 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
317 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
318 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
319 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
320
321 to request calling a callback function
322
323 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
324 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
325
326 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
327 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
328 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
329 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
330 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
331 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
332 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
333 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
334 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
335 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
336
337 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
338 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
339 [Bodo Moeller]
340
341 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
342 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
343 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
344 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
345 the configuration scripts.
346
347 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
348 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
349 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
350
351 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
352 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
353
354 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
355 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
356 when reusing an existing buffer.
357 [Bodo Moeller]
358
359 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
360 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
361 [Steve Henson]
362
363 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
364 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
365 [Ben Laurie]
366
367 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
368 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
369 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
370 has the same effect.
371 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
372
373 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
374 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
375 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
376 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
377 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
378 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
379 exception.
380
381 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
382 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
383 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
384 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
385
386 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
387 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
388 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
389 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
390
391 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
392 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
393 won't work.
394
395 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
396 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
397 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
398 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
399 default), and then completely removed.
400 [Richard Levitte]
401
402 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
403 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
404 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
405 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
406 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
407 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
408 particular extension is supported.
409 [Steve Henson]
410
411 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
412 to retain compatibility with existing code.
413 [Steve Henson]
414
415 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
416 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
417 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
418 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
419 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
420 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
421 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
422 requires the destination to be valid.
423
424 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
425 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
426 [Steve Henson]
427
428 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
429 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
430 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
431 [Bodo Moeller]
432
433 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
434 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
435
436 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
437 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
438 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
439 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
440 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
441 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
442 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
443 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
444 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
445 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
446 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
447 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
448 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
449 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
450 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
451 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
452 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
453 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
454 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
455 the new code.
456 [Geoff Thorpe]
457
458 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
459 [Steve Henson]
460
461 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
462 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
463 become part of libeay.num as well.
464 [Richard Levitte]
465
466 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
467 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
468 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
469 false once a handshake has been completed.
470 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
471 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
472 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
473 client has followed the request.)
474 [Bodo Moeller]
475
476 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
477 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
478 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
479 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
480
481 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
482 more bits available for options that should not be part of
483 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
484 [Bodo Moeller]
485
486 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
487 [Steve Henson]
488
489 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
490 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
491 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
492 [Lutz Jaenicke]
493
494 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
495 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
496 [Lutz Jaenicke]
497
498 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
499 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
500 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
501 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
502 [Geoff Thorpe]
503
504 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
505 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
506 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
507 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
508 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
509 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
510 [Geoff Thorpe]
511
512 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
513 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
514 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
515 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
516 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
517 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
518 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
519 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
520 [Geoff Thorpe]
521
522 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
523 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
524 [Geoff Thorpe]
525
526 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
527 [Ben Laurie]
528
529 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
530 md_data void pointer.
531 [Ben Laurie]
532
533 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
534 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
535 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
536 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
537 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
538 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
539 [Ben Laurie]
540
541 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
542 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
543 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
544 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
545 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
546 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
547 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
548 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
549 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
550 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
551 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
552 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
553 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
554 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
555 rather than letting it slide.
556
557 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
558 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
559 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
560 [Geoff Thorpe]
561
562 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
563 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
564 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
565 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
566 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
567 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
568 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
569 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
570 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
571 [Geoff Thorpe]
572
573 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
574 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
575 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
576 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
577 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
578
579 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
580 [Geoff Thorpe]
581
582 *) Add EVP test program.
583 [Ben Laurie]
584
585 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
586 [Ben Laurie]
587
588 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
589 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
590 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
591 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
592 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
593 [Steve Henson]
594
595 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
596 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
597 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
598 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
599 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
600 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
601 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
602
603 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
604 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
605 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
606 Usage example:
607
608 EVP_MD_CTX md;
609
610 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
611 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
612 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
613 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
614 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
615
616 [Ben Laurie]
617
618 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
619 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
620 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
621 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
622 anyway): E.g.,
623
624 des_key_schedule ks;
625
626 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
627 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
628
629 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
630 [Ben Laurie]
631
632 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
633 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
634 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
635 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
636 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
637 functions prevents this.
638 [Steve Henson]
639
640 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
641 [Ben Laurie]
642
643 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
644 correct _ecb suffix.
645 [Ben Laurie]
646
647 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
648 revocation information is handled using the text based index
649 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
650 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
651 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
652 [Steve Henson]
653
654 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
655 [Richard Levitte]
656
657 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
658 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
659 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
660 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
661
662 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
663 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
664
665 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
666 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
667 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
668 via Richard Levitte]
669
670 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
671 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
672 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
673 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
674 [Geoff Thorpe]
675
676 *) Speed up EVP routines.
677 Before:
678 encrypt
679 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
680 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
681 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
682 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
683 decrypt
684 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
685 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
686 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
687 After:
688 encrypt
689 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
690 decrypt
691 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
692 [Ben Laurie]
693
694 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
695 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
696
697 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
698 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
699 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
700 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
701 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
702 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
703 [Steve Henson]
704
705 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
706 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
707 [Richard Levitte]
708
709 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
710 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
711 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
712 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
713
714 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
715 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
716 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
717 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
718 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
719 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
720 callback.
721 [Richard Levitte]
722
723 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
724 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
725 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
726 and interrupts/cancellations.
727 [Richard Levitte]
728
729 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
730 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
731 [Steve Henson]
732
733 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
734 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
735 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
736
737 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
738 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
739 kind of callback.
740 [Richard Levitte]
741
742 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
743 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
744 than this minimum value is recommended.
745 [Lutz Jaenicke]
746
747 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
748 that are easily reachable.
749 [Richard Levitte]
750
751 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
752 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
753
754 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
755
756 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
757 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
758 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
759 needed for static libraries under Win32.
760 [Steve Henson]
761
762 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
763 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
764 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
765 [Steve Henson]
766
767 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
768 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
769 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
770 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
771 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
772 internally such as S/MIME.
773
774 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
775 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
776 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
777
778 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
779 applications.
780 [Steve Henson]
781
782 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
783 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
784 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
785 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
786
787 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
788
789 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
790
791 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
792 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
793 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
794 handling.
795 [Steve Henson]
796
797 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
798 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
799 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
800 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
801 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
802 a window system and the like.
803 [Richard Levitte]
804
805 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
806 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
807 [Geoff]
808
809 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
810 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
811 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
812 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
813 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
814 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
815 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
816 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
817 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
818 ENGINE structure.
819 [Geoff]
820
821 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
822 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
823 tag cache.
824 [Steve Henson]
825
826 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
827 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
828 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
829 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
830 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
831 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
832 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
833 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
834 [Geoff]
835
836 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
837 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
838 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
839 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
840 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
841 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
842 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
843 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
844 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
845 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
846 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
847 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
848 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
849 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
850 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
851 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
852 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
853 [Geoff]
854
855 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
856 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
857 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
858 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
859 internal engine_int.h header.
860 [Geoff]
861
862 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
863 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
864 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
865 modify their own ones).
866 [Geoff]
867
868 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
869 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
870 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
871 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
872 later on via ctrl() commands.
873 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
874 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
875 structural references.
876 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
877 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
878 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
879 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
880 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
881 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
882 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
883 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
884 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
885 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
886 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
887 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
888 [Geoff]
889
890 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
891 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
892 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
893 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
894 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
895 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
896 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
897 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
898 [Bodo Moeller]
899
900 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
901 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
902 [Steve Henson]
903
904 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
905 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
906 [Steve Henson]
907
908 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
909 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
910 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
911 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
912 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
913 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
914 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
915 [Steve Henson]
916
917 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
918 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
919 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
920 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
921 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
922
923 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
924 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
925 generator).
926 [Bodo Moeller]
927
928 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
929
930 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
931 operations and provides various method functions that can also
932 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
933
934 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
935 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
936
937 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
938 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
939 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
940
941 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
942 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
943
944 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
945 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
946
947 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
948
949 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
950 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
951 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
952 [Bodo Moeller]
953
954 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
955 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
956 [Richard Levitte]
957
958 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
959 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
960 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
961 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
962 is 40 of more characters long.
963 [Steve Henson]
964
965 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
966 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
967 pointers.
968 [Steve Henson]
969
970 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
971 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
972 [Bodo Moeller]
973
974 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
975 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
976 might.
977 [Steve Henson]
978
979 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
980
981 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
982 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
983
984 ASN1 error codes
985 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
986 ...
987 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
988 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
989 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
990 ...
991 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
992 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
993
994 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
995 [Bodo Moeller]
996
997 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
998 suffices.
999 [Bodo Moeller]
1000
1001 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1002 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1003 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1004 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1005 and
1006 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1007
1008 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1009 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1010
1011 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1012 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1013 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1014 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1015 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1016 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1017
1018 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1019 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1020
1021 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1022 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1023
1024 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1025 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1026
1027 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1028 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1029 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1030 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1031
1032 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1033 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1034
1035 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1036 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1037
1038 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1039 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1040 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1041 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1042 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1043 [Richard Levitte]
1044
1045 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1046 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1047 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1048 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1049 [Steve Henson]
1050
1051 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1052 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1053 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1054 trust settings.
1055 [Steve Henson]
1056
1057 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1058 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1059 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1060 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1061 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1062 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1063 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1064 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1065 ocsp utility.
1066 [Steve Henson]
1067
1068 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1069 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1070 [Steve Henson]
1071
1072 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1073 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1074 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1075 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1076 [Steve Henson]
1077
1078 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1079 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1080 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1081 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1082 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1083 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1084 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1085 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1086 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1087 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1088 [Steve Henson]
1089
1090 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1091 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1092 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1093 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1094 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1095 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1096 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1097 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1098
1099 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1100 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1101 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1102 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1103 [Richard Levitte]
1104
1105 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1106 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1107 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1108 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1109 opensslconf.h.
1110 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1111 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1112 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1113 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1114 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1115 what is available.
1116 [Richard Levitte]
1117
1118 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1119 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1120 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1121 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1122 auto incremented.
1123 [Steve Henson]
1124
1125 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1126 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1127 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1128 [Steve Henson]
1129
1130 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1131 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1132 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1133 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1134 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1135 [Steve Henson]
1136
1137 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1138 [Steve Henson]
1139
1140 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1141 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1142 option to ocsp utility.
1143 [Steve Henson]
1144
1145 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1146 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1147 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1148 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1149 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1150 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1151 the request is nonce-less.
1152 [Steve Henson]
1153
1154 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1155 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1156 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1157 [Bodo Moeller]
1158
1159 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1160 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1161 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1162 [Steve Henson]
1163
1164 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1165 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1166 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1167 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1168 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1169 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1170
1171 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1172 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1173 appear to exist.
1174 [Steve Henson]
1175
1176 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1177 additional certificates supplied.
1178 [Steve Henson]
1179
1180 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1181 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1182 signature against.
1183 [Richard Levitte]
1184
1185 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1186 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1187 AES OIDs.
1188
1189 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1190 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1191 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1192 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1193 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1194 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1195 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1196 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1197 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1198
1199 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1200 request to response.
1201 [Steve Henson]
1202
1203 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1204 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1205 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1206 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1207 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1208 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1209 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1210 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1211 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1212 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1213 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1214 [Steve Henson]
1215
1216 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1217 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1218 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1219 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1220 [Steve Henson]
1221
1222 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1223 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1224
1225 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1226 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1227 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1228 [Steve Henson]
1229
1230 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1231 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1232 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1233 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1234 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1235
1236 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1237 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1238 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1239 [Steve Henson]
1240
1241 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1242 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1243 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1244 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1245 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1246 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1247 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1248 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1249
1250 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1251 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1252 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1253 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1254 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1255 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1256 [Steve Henson]
1257
1258 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1259 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1260 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1261 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1262 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1263 printout format cleaned up.
1264 [Steve Henson]
1265
1266 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1267 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1268 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1269 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1270 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1271 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1272 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1273 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1274 [Steve Henson]
1275
1276 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1277 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1278 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1279 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1280 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1281 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1282 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1283 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1284 [Steve Henson]
1285
1286 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1287 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1288 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1289 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1290 section to use.
1291 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1292
1293 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1294 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1295 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1296 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1297 [Steve Henson]
1298
1299 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1300 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1301 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1302 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1303 in the index file.
1304 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1305
1306 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1307 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1308 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1309 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1310
1311 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1312 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1313
1314 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1315 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1316 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1317 [Steve Henson]
1318
1319 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1320 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1321 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1322 [Bodo Moeller]
1323
1324 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1325 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1326 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1327 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1328 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1329 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1330 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1331 functions are provided:
1332
1333 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1334 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1335 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1336 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1337
1338 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1339 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1340 extended allocation function is enabled.
1341 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1342 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1343 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1344
1345 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1346 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1347 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1348 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1349 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1350 [Geoff Thorpe]
1351
1352 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1353 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1354 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1355 be queried.
1356 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1357 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1358 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1359 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1360
1361 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1362 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1363 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1364 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1365 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1366 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1367 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1368 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1369 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1370 [Richard Levitte]
1371
1372 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1373 provide utility functions which an application needing
1374 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1375 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1376 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1377
1378 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1379 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1380 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1381 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1382 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1383 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1384 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1385 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1386 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1387
1388 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1389 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1390 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1391 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1392 [Steve Henson]
1393
1394 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1395 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1396 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1397 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1398 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1399 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1400 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1401 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1402 will be added elsewhere.
1403 [Steve Henson]
1404
1405 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1406 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1407 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1408 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1409 [Steve Henson]
1410
1411 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1412 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1413 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1414 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1415 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1416 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1417 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1418 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1419 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1420 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1421 to produce the required SET OF.
1422 [Steve Henson]
1423
1424 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1425 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1426 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1427 [Richard Levitte]
1428
1429 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1430 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1431 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1432 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1433 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1434 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1435 [Steve Henson]
1436
1437 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1438 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1439 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1440 [Steve Henson]
1441
1442 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1443 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1444 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1445 [Richard Levitte]
1446
1447 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1448 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1449 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1450 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1451 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1452 [Steve Henson]
1453
1454 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1455 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1456 [Steve Henson]
1457
1458 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1459 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1460 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1461 certifcates and CRLs.
1462 [Steve Henson]
1463
1464 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1465 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1466 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1467 [Steve Henson]
1468
1469 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1470 entries for variables.
1471 [Steve Henson]
1472
1473 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1474 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1475 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1476 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1477 [Bodo Moeller]
1478
1479 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1480 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1481 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1482 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1483 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1484 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1485 [Bodo Moeller]
1486
1487 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1488 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1489
1490 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1491 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1492 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1493 [Steve Henson]
1494
1495 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1496 print routines.
1497 [Steve Henson]
1498
1499 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1500 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1501 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1502 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1503 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1504 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1505 [Steve Henson]
1506
1507 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1508 [Steve Henson]
1509
1510 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1511 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1512 for now but they will eventually go away.
1513 [Steve Henson]
1514
1515 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1516 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1517 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1518 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1519 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1520 has also been converted to the new form.
1521 [Steve Henson]
1522
1523 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1524 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1525 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1526 for negative moduli.
1527 [Bodo Moeller]
1528
1529 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1530 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1531 [Bodo Moeller]
1532
1533 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1534 set.
1535 [Bodo Moeller]
1536
1537 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1538 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1539 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1540 type-specific callbacks.
1541 [Geoff Thorpe]
1542
1543 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1544 RFC 2712.
1545 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1546 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1547
1548 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1549 in sections depending on the subject.
1550 [Richard Levitte]
1551
1552 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1553 Windows.
1554 [Richard Levitte]
1555
1556 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1557 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1558 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1559 be handled deterministically).
1560 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1561
1562 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1563 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1564 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1565 [Bodo Moeller]
1566
1567 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1568 [Bodo Moeller]
1569
1570 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1571 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1572 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1573 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1574 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1575 [Bodo Moeller]
1576
1577 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1578 sign of the number in question.
1579
1580 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1581
1582 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1583 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1584 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1585 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1586 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1587 [Bodo Moeller]
1588
1589 *) New function BN_swap.
1590 [Bodo Moeller]
1591
1592 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1593 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1594 results on negative inputs.
1595 [Bodo Moeller]
1596
1597 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1598 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1599 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1600 [Bodo Moeller]
1601
1602 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1603 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1604 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1605 and add new functions:
1606
1607 BN_nnmod
1608 BN_mod_sqr
1609 BN_mod_add
1610 BN_mod_add_quick
1611 BN_mod_sub
1612 BN_mod_sub_quick
1613 BN_mod_lshift1
1614 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1615 BN_mod_lshift
1616 BN_mod_lshift_quick
1617
1618 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1619
1620 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1621 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1622
1623 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1624 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1625 be reduced modulo m.
1626 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1627
1628 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1629 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1630 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1631 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1632 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1633 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1634 differing sizes.
1635 [Richard Levitte]
1636
1637 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1638 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1639 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1640 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1641 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1642
1643 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1644 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1645 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1646 cause any problems.
1647 [Bodo Moeller]
1648
1649 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1650 [Richard Levitte]
1651
1652 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1653 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1654 [Richard Levitte]
1655
1656 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1657 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1658 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1659 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1660 time)
1661 [Richard Levitte]
1662
1663 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1664 [Richard Levitte]
1665
1666 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1667 [Richard Levitte]
1668
1669 *) Add the following functions:
1670
1671 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1672 ENGINE_load_chil()
1673 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1674 ENGINE_load_nuron()
1675 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1676
1677 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1678 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1679 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1680 libraries unless it's really needed.
1681
1682 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1683 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1684 declarations (they differed!).
1685 [Richard Levitte]
1686
1687 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1688 [Richard Levitte]
1689
1690 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1691 [Richard Levitte]
1692
1693 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1694 [Bodo Moeller]
1695
1696 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1697 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1698 [Richard Levitte]
1699
1700 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1701 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1702 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1703
1704 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1705 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1706 [Richard Levitte]
1707
1708 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1709 [Richard Levitte]
1710
1711 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1712 [Richard Levitte]
1713
1714 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1715 [Ben Laurie]
1716
1717 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1718 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1719 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1720
1721 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1722 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1723 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1724 different shared library filenames on each system.
1725 [Geoff Thorpe]
1726
1727 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1728 [Richard Levitte]
1729
1730 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1731 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1732 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1733 of two sections.
1734 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1735
1736 *) NCONF changes.
1737 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1738 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1739 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1740 binary backward compatibility.
1741 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1742 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1743 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1744 LDAP server.
1745 [Richard Levitte]
1746
1747 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1748 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1749 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1750 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1751 this case.
1752 [Steve Henson]
1753
1754 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1755 [Ben Laurie]
1756
1757 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1758 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1759 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1760 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1761 set.
1762 [Steve Henson]
1763
1764 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1765 [Richard Levitte]
1766
1767 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [XX xxx XXXX]
1768
1769 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
1770 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
1771 by the selection routines (PR #130).
1772 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1773
1774 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
1775 [Nils Larsch]
1776
1777 *) New option
1778 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
1779 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
1780 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
1781
1782 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
1783 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
1784 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
1785 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
1786 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
1787 applications.
1788 [Bodo Moeller]
1789
1790 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
1791
1792 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
1793 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
1794 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
1795
1796 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
1797 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1798
1799 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
1800 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
1801 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
1802 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
1803 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
1804 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
1805 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1806
1807 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
1808 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
1809 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
1810 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
1811 [Bodo Moeller]
1812
1813 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
1814 [Bodo Moeller]
1815
1816 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
1817 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
1818 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
1819 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
1820 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
1821 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
1822
1823 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
1824 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
1825 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
1826 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
1827 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
1828 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1829
1830 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
1831 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
1832 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
1833 BN_generate_prime().)
1834
1835 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
1836 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
1837 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
1838 better.
1839 [Bodo Moeller]
1840
1841 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
1842 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
1843 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1844
1845 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
1846 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
1847 when using non-blocking I/O.
1848 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
1849
1850 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
1851 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
1852
1853 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
1854 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
1855 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1856
1857 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
1858 configuration for the versions before that.
1859 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1860
1861 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
1862 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
1863 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
1864 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
1865 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1866
1867 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
1868 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
1869 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
1870 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1871
1872 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
1873 value is 0.
1874 [Richard Levitte]
1875
1876 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
1877 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
1878
1879 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
1880 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1881 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1882
1883 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
1884 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
1885 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
1886 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
1887 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
1888 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
1889 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
1890 session cache.
1891
1892 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
1893 using a local variable.
1894 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1895
1896 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
1897 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
1898 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1899
1900 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
1901 [Richard Levitte]
1902
1903 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
1904 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
1905
1906 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
1907 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
1908 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
1909
1910 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
1911
1912 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
1913 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
1914 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
1915 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
1916 [Bodo Moeller]
1917
1918 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
1919 present.
1920 [Steve Henson]
1921
1922 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
1923 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
1924 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
1925 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
1926 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
1927
1928 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
1929 returns early because it has nothing to do.
1930 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
1931
1932 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1933 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
1934 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
1935
1936 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1937 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
1938 (Use engine 'keyclient')
1939 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
1940
1941 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
1942 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
1943 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
1944 modules).
1945 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
1946
1947 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1948 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
1949 from 0.9.7.
1950 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
1951
1952 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1953 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
1954 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1955 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
1956
1957 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1958 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
1959 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1960 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
1961
1962 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
1963 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
1964
1965 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
1966 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
1967 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
1968 [Bodo Moeller]
1969
1970 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
1971 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
1972 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
1973 become invalid.
1974 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
1975
1976 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
1977 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
1978 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
1979 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
1980 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
1981 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
1982 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
1983 [Bodo Moeller]
1984
1985 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
1986 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
1987 one of the SSL handshake functions.
1988 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
1989
1990 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
1991 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
1992 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
1993 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
1994 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
1995 the client will at least see that alert.
1996 [Bodo Moeller]
1997
1998 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
1999 correctly.
2000 [Bodo Moeller]
2001
2002 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2003 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2004 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2005
2006 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2007 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2008 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2009 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2010 HelloRequest.
2011
2012 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2013 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2014 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2015
2016 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2017 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2018 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2019 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2020 may leak via logfiles.)
2021
2022 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2023 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2024 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2025 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2026 the legal range.
2027 [Bodo Moeller]
2028
2029 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2030 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2031 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2032
2033 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2034 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2035 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2036 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2037 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2038 [Bodo Moeller]
2039
2040 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2041 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2042
2043 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2044 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2045 followed by modular reduction.
2046 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2047
2048 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2049 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2050 [Bodo Moeller]
2051
2052 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2053 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2054 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2055 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2056 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2057
2058 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2059 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2060
2061 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2062 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2063 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2064
2065 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2066 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2067 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2068 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2069 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2070 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
2071 automatically.
2072 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
2073
2074 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
2075 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
2076 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
2077 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
2078 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
2079
2080 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
2081 [Andy Polyakov]
2082
2083 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
2084 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
2085 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
2086 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
2087 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
2088 to allow the necessary settings.
2089 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2090
2091 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
2092 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
2093 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
2094 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
2095 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2096
2097 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
2098 dh->length and always used
2099
2100 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
2101
2102 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
2103 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
2104 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
2105 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
2106 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
2107 dh->length.
2108
2109 So switch back to
2110
2111 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
2112
2113 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
2114 otherwise.
2115 [Bodo Moeller]
2116
2117 *) In
2118
2119 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
2120 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
2121 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
2122 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
2123
2124 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
2125 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
2126 always reject numbers >= n.
2127 [Bodo Moeller]
2128
2129 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
2130 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
2131 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
2132 variable) is not atomic.
2133 [Bodo Moeller]
2134
2135 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
2136 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
2137 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
2138 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
2139
2140 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
2141 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
2142
2143 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
2144 little-endian MIPS.
2145 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2146
2147 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2148 [Richard Levitte]
2149
2150 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2151
2152 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2153 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2154 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2155 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2156 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2157 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2158 to traverse all of 'state'.
2159
2160 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2161 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2162 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2163
2164 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2165 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2166
2167 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2168 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2169 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2170 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2171 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2172 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2173 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2174 further strengthens the PRNG.
2175 [Bodo Moeller]
2176
2177 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2178 [Andy Polyakov]
2179
2180 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2181 an error message in this case.
2182 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2183
2184 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2185 [Steve Henson]
2186
2187 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2188 positive and less than q.
2189 [Bodo Moeller]
2190
2191 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2192 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2193 that itself.
2194 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2195
2196 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2197 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2198 [Bodo Moeller]
2199
2200 *) Fix OAEP check.
2201 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2202
2203 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2204 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2205 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2206 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2207 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2208 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2209 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2210 paper.)
2211
2212 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2213 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2214 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2215 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2216
2217 Both problems are now fixed.
2218 [Bodo Moeller]
2219
2220 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2221 (previously it was 1024).
2222 [Bodo Moeller]
2223
2224 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2225 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2226 [Steve Henson]
2227
2228 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2229 [Steve Henson]
2230
2231 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2232 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2233 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2234 [Steve Henson]
2235
2236 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2237 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2238 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2239 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2240 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2241 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2242 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2243 environment variables.
2244
2245 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2246 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2247 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2248 [Bodo Moeller]
2249
2250 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2251 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2252 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2253 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2254 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2255 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2256 [Bodo Moeller]
2257
2258 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2259 versions of 'test'.
2260 [Bodo Moeller]
2261
2262 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2263
2264 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2265 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2266
2267 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2268 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2269 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2270 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2271 CygWin.
2272 [Richard Levitte]
2273
2274 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2275 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2276 amount of data available.
2277 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2278 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2279
2280 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2281 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2282 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2283 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2284 [Bodo Moeller]
2285
2286 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2287 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2288 and UnixWare.
2289 [Richard Levitte]
2290
2291 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2292 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2293 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2294 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2295 [Ulf Moeller]
2296
2297 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2298 [Andy Polyakov]
2299
2300 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2301 [Richard Levitte]
2302
2303 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2304 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2305 [Steve Henson]
2306 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2307
2308 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2309 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2310 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2311 (but broken) behaviour.
2312 [Steve Henson]
2313
2314 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2315 it when found.
2316 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2317
2318 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2319 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2320 [Bodo Moeller]
2321
2322 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2323 did not exist.
2324 [Bodo Moeller]
2325
2326 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2327 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2328
2329 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2330 [Richard Levitte]
2331
2332 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2333 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2334 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2335
2336 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2337 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2338 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2339 [Steve Henson]
2340
2341 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2342 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2343 [Ulf Moeller]
2344
2345 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2346 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2347
2348 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2349
2350 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2351
2352 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2353 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2354 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2355 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2356 [Bodo Moeller]
2357
2358 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2359 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2360
2361 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2362 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2363 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2364
2365 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2366 was empty.
2367 [Steve Henson]
2368 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2369
2370 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2371 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2372 but the code is actually correct.
2373 [Steve Henson]
2374
2375 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2376 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2377 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2378 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2379 and leaves the highest bit random.
2380 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2381
2382 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2383 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2384 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2385 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2386 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2387 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2388 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2389 [Bodo Moeller]
2390
2391 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2392 [Ulf Moeller]
2393
2394 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2395 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2396 [Steve Henson]
2397
2398 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2399 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2400 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2401 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2402 headers.
2403 [Richard Levitte]
2404
2405 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2406 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2407 and break the signature.
2408 [Steve Henson]
2409 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2410
2411 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2412 DH ciphersuites.
2413 [Steve Henson]
2414
2415 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2416 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2417 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2418 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2419 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2420 [Bodo Moeller]
2421
2422 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2423 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2424
2425 *) ./config script fixes.
2426 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2427
2428 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2429 [Bodo Moeller]
2430
2431 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2432 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2433 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2434 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2435 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2436
2437 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2438 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2439 [Bodo Moeller]
2440
2441 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2442 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2443 [Steve Henson]
2444
2445 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2446 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2447 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2448 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2449
2450 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2451 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2452
2453 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2454 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2455 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2456 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2457 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2458
2459 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2460 [Bodo Moeller]
2461
2462 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2463 [Ulf Möller]
2464
2465 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2466 [Ulf Möller]
2467
2468 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2469 [Bodo Moeller]
2470
2471 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2472 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2473 [Bodo Moeller]
2474
2475 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2476 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2477 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2478 result of the server certificate verification.)
2479 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2480
2481 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2482 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2483 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2484 [Bodo Moeller]
2485
2486 *) Fix SSL_peek:
2487 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2488 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2489 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2490 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2491 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2492 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2493 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2494 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2495 [Bodo Moeller]
2496
2497 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2498 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2499 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2500 happening the other way round.
2501 [Geoff Thorpe]
2502
2503 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2504 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2505 [Bodo Moeller]
2506
2507 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2508 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2509 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2510 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2511 [Richard Levitte]
2512
2513 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2514 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2515
2516 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2517
2518 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2519 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2520 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2521 that.
2522
2523 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2524
2525 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2526
2527 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2528 static ones.
2529 [Richard Levitte]
2530
2531 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2532
2533 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2534 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2535 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2536 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2537 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2538
2539 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2540 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2541 matter what.
2542 [Richard Levitte]
2543
2544 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2545 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2546
2547 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2548
2549 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2550 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2551 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2552 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2553 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2554 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2555 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2556 by the Finished messages.
2557 [Bodo Moeller]
2558
2559 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2560 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2561
2562 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2563 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2564 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2565 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2566 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2567 appropriately.
2568 [Steve Henson]
2569
2570 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2571 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2572 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2573 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2574 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2575 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2576 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2577 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2578 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2579 together.
2580 [Steve Henson]
2581
2582 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2583 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2584 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2585 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2586
2587 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2588 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2589 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2590 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2591 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2592 the answer.
2593
2594 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2595 been tested well enough.
2596 [Richard Levitte]
2597
2598 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2599 it can return incorrect results.
2600 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2601 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2602 [Bodo Moeller]
2603
2604 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2605 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2606 include zero length content when signing messages.
2607 [Steve Henson]
2608
2609 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2610 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2611 [Bodo Möller]
2612
2613 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2614 [Richard Levitte]
2615
2616 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2617 wrong sign.
2618 [Ulf Möller]
2619
2620 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2621 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2622 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2623 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2624 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2625 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2626 [Richard Levitte]
2627
2628 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2629 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2630
2631 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2632 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2633
2634 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2635 random number < q in the DSA library.
2636 [Ulf Möller]
2637
2638 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2639 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2640 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2641 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2642 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2643 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2644 just makes things more complicated.)
2645 [Bodo Moeller]
2646
2647 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2648 from EGD.
2649 [Ben Laurie]
2650
2651 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2652 work better on such systems.
2653 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2654
2655 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2656 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2657 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2658 [Steve Henson]
2659
2660 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2661 if there was more than one signature.
2662 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2663
2664 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2665 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2666 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2667 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2668 [Richard Levitte]
2669
2670 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2671 rather than always using the current time.
2672 [Steve Henson]
2673
2674 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2675 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2676 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2677 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2678 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2679 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2680
2681 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2682 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2683
2684 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2685
2686 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2687 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2688 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2689 the same hash value.
2690
2691 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2692 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2693 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2694 with X509_STORE internally.
2695
2696 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2697 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2698
2699 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2700 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2701 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2702 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2703 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2704 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2705 entirely (maybe later...).
2706
2707 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2708
2709 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2710 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2711 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2712 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2713 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2714 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2715 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2716 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2717
2718 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2719 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2720
2721 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2722 to customise the verify behaviour.
2723 [Steve Henson]
2724
2725 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2726 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2727 [Steve Henson]
2728
2729 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2730 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2731 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2732 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2733 request is improperly encoded.
2734 [Steve Henson]
2735
2736 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2737 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2738 BIO_write(b, ...).
2739
2740 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2741 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2742
2743 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2744 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2745 words set to zero.)
2746 [Bodo Moeller]
2747
2748 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2749 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2750 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2751 [Bodo Moeller]
2752
2753 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2754 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2755 BIO/fp routines also added.
2756 [Steve Henson]
2757
2758 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2759 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2760
2761 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2762 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2763 demos/state_machine.
2764 [Ben Laurie]
2765
2766 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2767 generation and verification.
2768 [Steve Henson]
2769
2770 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2771 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2772 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2773 encode and decode it manually.
2774 [Steve Henson]
2775
2776 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2777 compile under VC++.
2778 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2779
2780 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2781 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2782 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2783 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2784
2785 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2786 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2787 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2788 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2789 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
2790 [Steve Henson]
2791
2792 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
2793 [Richard Levitte]
2794
2795 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
2796 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
2797 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
2798
2799 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
2800 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
2801 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
2802 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
2803 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
2804 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
2805 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
2806 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
2807
2808 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
2809 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
2810
2811 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
2812
2813 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
2814 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
2815 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
2816
2817 [Richard Levitte]
2818
2819 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
2820 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
2821 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
2822 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
2823 [Richard Levitte]
2824
2825 *) MD4 implemented.
2826 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
2827
2828 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
2829 [Richard Levitte]
2830
2831 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
2832 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
2833 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
2834 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
2835 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
2836 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
2837 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
2838 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
2839 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
2840 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
2841 short or long names are found.
2842 [Steve Henson]
2843
2844 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
2845 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
2846
2847 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
2848 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
2849 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
2850 version rollback attacks was not effective.
2851
2852 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
2853 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
2854 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
2855 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
2856 [Bodo Moeller]
2857
2858 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
2859 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
2860 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
2861 [Richard Levitte]
2862
2863 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
2864 these print out strings and name structures based on various
2865 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
2866 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
2867 to allow the various flags to be set.
2868 [Steve Henson]
2869
2870 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
2871 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
2872 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
2873 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
2874 dates to be checked.
2875 [Steve Henson]
2876
2877 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
2878 negative public key encodings) on by default,
2879 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
2880 [Steve Henson]
2881
2882 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
2883 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
2884 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
2885 [Steve Henson]
2886
2887 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
2888 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
2889 [Bodo Moeller]
2890
2891 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
2892 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
2893 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
2894 are always statically linked for now, but there are
2895 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
2896 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
2897 [Richard Levitte]
2898
2899 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
2900 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
2901 Random Numbers.
2902 [Ulf Möller]
2903
2904 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
2905 DSA key.
2906 [Steve Henson]
2907
2908 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
2909 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
2910 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
2911 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
2912 form signing output easier to verify.
2913 [Steve Henson]
2914
2915 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
2916 [Steve Henson]
2917
2918 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
2919 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
2920 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
2921 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
2922 are needed because all other string types have virtually
2923 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
2924 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
2925 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
2926 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
2927 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
2928 [Steve Henson]
2929
2930 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
2931
2932 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
2933 the syntax given in objects.README.
2934 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
2935 obj_mac.h.
2936 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
2937 obj_mac.h.
2938
2939 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
2940 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
2941 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
2942 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
2943 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
2944 consistent name changes.
2945 [Richard Levitte]
2946
2947 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
2948 [Bodo Moeller]
2949
2950 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
2951 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
2952 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
2953 environment variable, or the default random state file.
2954 [Richard Levitte]
2955
2956 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
2957 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
2958 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
2959 of safestack.h .
2960 [Steve Henson]
2961
2962 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
2963 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
2964 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
2965 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
2966 [Steve Henson]
2967
2968 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
2969 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
2970 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
2971 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
2972 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
2973 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
2974 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
2975 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
2976 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
2977 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
2978 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
2979 [Steve Henson]
2980
2981 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
2982 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
2983 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
2984 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
2985 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
2986 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
2987 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
2988 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
2989 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
2990 algorithm to openssl-dev.
2991 [Steve Henson]
2992
2993 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
2994 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
2995 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
2996 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
2997
2998 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
2999 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3000 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3001 omit any duplicate addresses.
3002 [Steve Henson]
3003
3004 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3005 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3006 [Bodo Moeller]
3007
3008 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3009 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3010 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3011 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3012 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3013 [Bodo Moeller]
3014
3015 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3016 software:
3017 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3018 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3019 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3020 Free => OPENSSL_free
3021 [Richard Levitte]
3022
3023 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3024 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3025 [Bodo Moeller]
3026
3027 *) CygWin32 support.
3028 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3029
3030 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3031 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3032 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3033 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3034 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3035 approach.
3036 [Geoff Thorpe]
3037
3038 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3039 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3040 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3041 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3042 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3043 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3044 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3045 [Geoff Thorpe]
3046
3047 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3048 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3049 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3050 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3051 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3052 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3053 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3054 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3055 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3056 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3057 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3058 [Bodo Moeller]
3059
3060 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3061 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3062 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3063 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3064 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3065
3066 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3067 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3068 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3069 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3070 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
3071
3072 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
3073 ciphers.
3074
3075 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
3076 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
3077 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
3078 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
3079
3080 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
3081
3082 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
3083 of macros.
3084
3085 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
3086 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
3087 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
3088 flags.
3089
3090 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
3091 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
3092 any installed hardware versions can.
3093 [Steve Henson]
3094
3095 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
3096 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
3097 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
3098 number.
3099 [Bodo Moeller]
3100
3101 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
3102 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
3103 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
3104 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
3105 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
3106
3107 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
3108 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
3109 [Steve Henson]
3110
3111 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
3112 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
3113 [Richard Levitte]
3114
3115 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
3116 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
3117 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
3118 features.
3119 [Steve Henson]
3120
3121 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
3122 [Ulf Möller]
3123
3124 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
3125 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
3126 but no ssl client purpose.
3127 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
3128
3129 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
3130 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
3131 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
3132 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
3133 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
3134 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
3135 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
3136 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
3137 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
3138 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
3139 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
3140 [Steve Henson]
3141
3142 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
3143 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
3144 be obtained from the error queue.
3145 [Bodo Moeller]
3146
3147 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3148 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3149 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3150 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3151 [Bodo Moeller]
3152
3153 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3154 [Ulf Möller]
3155
3156 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3157 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3158 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3159 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3160 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3161 [Geoff Thorpe]
3162
3163 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3164 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3165 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3166 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3167 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3168 [Geoff Thorpe]
3169
3170 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3171 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3172 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3173 may not be NULL.
3174 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3175
3176 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3177 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3178 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3179 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3180 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3181 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3182 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3183 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3184 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3185 or "the configuration storage API"...
3186
3187 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3188
3189 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3190 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3191
3192 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3193
3194 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3195
3196 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3197 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3198 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3199 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3200 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3201 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3202 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3203
3204 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3205 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3206 [Richard Levitte]
3207
3208 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3209 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3210 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3211 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3212 [Bodo Moeller]
3213
3214 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3215 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3216 them in a portable way.
3217 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3218
3219 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3220
3221 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3222
3223 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3224 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3225
3226 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3227 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3228 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3229 <attili@amaxo.com>]
3230
3231 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3232 was larger than the MD block size.
3233 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3234
3235 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3236 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3237 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3238 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3239 components.
3240 [Steve Henson]
3241
3242 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3243 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3244 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3245
3246 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3247 discouraged.
3248 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3249
3250 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3251 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3252 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3253 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3254 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3255 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3256
3257 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3258 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3259
3260 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3261 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3262 [Bodo Moeller]
3263
3264 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3265 [Bodo Moeller]
3266
3267 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3268 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3269 its own key.
3270 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3271 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3272 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3273 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3274 [Bodo Moeller]
3275
3276 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3277 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3278 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3279 does not suppress any output.
3280 [Richard Levitte]
3281
3282 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3283 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3284 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3285 with all the associated security issues.
3286
3287 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3288 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3289 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3290 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3291 use the value in the default purpose.
3292 [Steve Henson]
3293
3294 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3295 and fix a memory leak.
3296 [Steve Henson]
3297
3298 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3299 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3300 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3301 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3302 [Bodo Moeller]
3303
3304 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3305 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3306 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3307 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3308 [Bodo Moeller]
3309
3310 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3311 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3312 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3313 [Bodo Moeller]
3314
3315 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3316 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3317 [Bodo Moeller]
3318
3319 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3320 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3321 which was free.
3322 [Steve Henson]
3323
3324 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3325 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3326 [Bodo Moeller]
3327
3328 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3329 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3330 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3331 [Bodo Moeller]
3332
3333 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3334 number generation fails.
3335 [Bodo Moeller]
3336
3337 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3338 [Bodo Moeller]
3339
3340 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3341 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3342
3343 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3344 [Ulf Möller]
3345
3346 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3347 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3348
3349 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3350 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3351
3352 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3353
3354 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3355 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3356 [Steve Henson]
3357
3358 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3359 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3360
3361 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3362 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3363 [Ulf Möller]
3364
3365 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3366 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3367 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3368 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3369 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3370 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3371
3372 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3373 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3374 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3375 for example.
3376 [Steve Henson]
3377
3378 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3379 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3380 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3381 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3382 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3383 counter, some don't.)
3384 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3385 counters or duplicate objects.
3386 [Steve Henson]
3387
3388 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3389 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3390 [Steve Henson]
3391
3392 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3393 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3394 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3395
3396 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3397 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3398 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3399 or -rand.
3400 [Ulf Möller]
3401
3402 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3403 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3404 [Steve Henson]
3405
3406 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3407 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3408 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3409 cipher list.
3410 [Steve Henson]
3411
3412 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3413 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3414 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3415 [Steve Henson]
3416
3417 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3418 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3419 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3420 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3421 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3422 should work without changes.
3423 [Richard Levitte]
3424
3425 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3426 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3427 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3428 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3429 must be defined. E.g.,
3430 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3431 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3432 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3433 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3434
3435 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3436 record layer.
3437 [Bodo Moeller]
3438
3439 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3440 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3441 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3442 [Steve Henson]
3443
3444 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3445 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3446 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3447 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3448 [Steve Henson]
3449
3450 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3451 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3452 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3453 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3454 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3455 is prompted for as usual.
3456 [Steve Henson]
3457
3458 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3459 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3460 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3461 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3462
3463 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3464 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3465 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3466 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3467 [Steve Henson]
3468
3469 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3470 [Andy Polyakov]
3471
3472 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3473 of seed file.
3474 [Steve Henson]
3475
3476 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3477 [Bodo Moeller]
3478
3479 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3480 [Steve Henson]
3481
3482 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3483 bits.
3484 [Ulf Möller]
3485
3486 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3487 [Ulf Möller]
3488
3489 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3490 [Andy Polyakov]
3491
3492 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3493 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3494 [Ulf Möller]
3495
3496 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3497 options to produce them.
3498 [Steve Henson]
3499
3500 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3501 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3502 [Ulf Möller]
3503
3504 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3505 for p == 0.
3506 [Ulf Möller]
3507
3508 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3509 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3510 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3511 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3512 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3513 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3514 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3515 [Steve Henson]
3516
3517 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3518 [Steve Henson]
3519
3520 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3521 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3522 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3523 [Bodo Moeller]
3524
3525 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3526 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3527
3528 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3529 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3530 [Ulf Möller]
3531
3532 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3533 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3534 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3535 has already seen).
3536 [Bodo Moeller]
3537
3538 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3539 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3540
3541 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3542 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3543 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3544 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3545 generation becomes much faster.
3546
3547 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3548 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3549 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3550 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3551 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3552 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3553 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3554 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3555 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3556 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3557 [Bodo Moeller]
3558
3559 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3560 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3561 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3562 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3563 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3564 trial division stage.
3565 [Bodo Moeller]
3566
3567 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3568 as ASN1_TIME.
3569 [Steve Henson]
3570
3571 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3572 [Steve Henson]
3573
3574 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3575 [Ulf Möller]
3576
3577 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3578 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3579 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3580 the comments.
3581 [Ulf Möller]
3582
3583 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3584 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3585 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3586 [Bodo Moeller]
3587
3588 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3589 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3590 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3591 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3592
3593 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3594 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3595 [Steve Henson]
3596
3597 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3598 [Ulf Möller]
3599
3600 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3601 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3602 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3603 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3604 [Ulf Möller]
3605
3606 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3607 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3608 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3609 [Ulf Möller]
3610
3611 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3612 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3613 (instead of parameters) in future.
3614 [Steve Henson]
3615
3616 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3617 when a new cipher list is set.
3618 [Steve Henson]
3619
3620 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3621 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3622 wrong.
3623
3624 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3625 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3626 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3627
3628 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3629 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3630 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3631 an error is flagged.
3632
3633 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3634 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3635 the readability was also increased :-)
3636 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3637
3638 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3639 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3640 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3641 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3642 as the root CA.
3643 [Steve Henson]
3644
3645 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3646 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3647 [Steve Henson]
3648
3649 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3650 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3651 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3652 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3653 instead.
3654
3655 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3656 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3657 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3658 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3659 because they handle more complex structures.)
3660 [Steve Henson]
3661
3662 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3663 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3664 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3665 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3666
3667 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3668 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3669 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3670 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3671 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3672 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3673 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3674 [Ulf Möller]
3675
3676 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3677 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3678 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3679 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3680 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3681 [Bodo Moeller]
3682
3683 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3684 [Bodo Moeller]
3685
3686 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3687 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3688 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3689 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3690 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3691 to use this.
3692
3693 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3694 code.
3695 [Steve Henson]
3696
3697 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3698 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3699 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3700 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3701 [Steve Henson]
3702
3703 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3704 [Ulf Möller]
3705
3706 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3707 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
3708 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
3709 international characters are used.
3710
3711 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
3712 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
3713 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
3714 in ASN1 order.
3715 [Steve Henson]
3716
3717 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
3718 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
3719 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3720 request.
3721
3722 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3723 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3724 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3725 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3726 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3727 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3728
3729 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3730 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3731 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3732 be handled by the string table functions.
3733
3734 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3735 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3736 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3737 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3738 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3739 types at all.
3740 [Steve Henson]
3741
3742 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3743 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3744 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3745 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3746 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3747
3748 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3749 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3750 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3751 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3752 [Bodo Moeller]
3753
3754 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3755 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3756 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3757 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3758 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
3759 SHA1.
3760 [Andy Polyakov]
3761
3762 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
3763 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
3764 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
3765 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
3766 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
3767 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
3768 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
3769 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
3770
3771 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
3772 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
3773 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
3774 [Steve Henson]
3775
3776 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
3777 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
3778 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
3779 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
3780 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
3781 support to pkcs8 application.
3782 [Steve Henson]
3783
3784 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
3785 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
3786 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
3787 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
3788 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
3789 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
3790 [Bodo Moeller]
3791
3792 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
3793 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
3794 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
3795 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
3796 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
3797 consistency.
3798 [Bodo Moeller]
3799
3800 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
3801 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
3802 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
3803 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
3804 example.
3805 [Steve Henson]
3806
3807 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
3808 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
3809 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
3810 and any application specific purposes.
3811
3812 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
3813 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
3814 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
3815 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
3816 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
3817 if the certificate is self signed.
3818 [Steve Henson]
3819
3820 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
3821 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
3822 [Steve Henson]
3823
3824 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
3825 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
3826 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
3827 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
3828 [Steve Henson]
3829
3830 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
3831 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
3832 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
3833 Update documentation.
3834 [Steve Henson]
3835
3836 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
3837 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
3838 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
3839 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
3840 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
3841 [Steve Henson]
3842
3843 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
3844 for details.
3845 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
3846
3847 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
3848 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
3849 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
3850 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
3851 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
3852 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
3853 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
3854 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
3855 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
3856 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
3857
3858 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
3859
3860 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3861 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3862 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
3863 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
3864 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
3865
3866 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
3867 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
3868 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
3869 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
3870 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
3871 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
3872 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
3873 request additional information:
3874 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
3875 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
3876
3877 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
3878 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
3879 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
3880 options.
3881
3882 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
3883 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
3884
3885 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
3886 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
3887 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
3888
3889 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
3890 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3891
3892 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
3893 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
3894 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
3895 algorithm.
3896 [Steve Henson]
3897
3898 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
3899 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
3900 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
3901
3902 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
3903 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
3904 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
3905 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
3906 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
3907 included in OpenSSL.
3908 [Steve Henson]
3909
3910 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
3911 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
3912 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
3913 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
3914 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
3915 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
3916 [Bodo Moeller]
3917
3918 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
3919 PKCS12 structure.
3920 [Steve Henson]
3921
3922 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
3923 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
3924 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
3925 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
3926 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
3927 structure.
3928 [Steve Henson]
3929
3930 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
3931 need initialising.
3932 [Steve Henson]
3933
3934 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
3935 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
3936 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
3937 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
3938 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
3939 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
3940 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
3941 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
3942 be maintained manually.
3943
3944 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
3945 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
3946 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
3947 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
3948 work because people forget to call this function]
3949 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
3950 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
3951 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
3952 [Steve Henson]
3953
3954 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
3955 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
3956 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
3957 should be discouraged from doing it.
3958 [Ben Laurie]
3959
3960 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
3961 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
3962 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
3963 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
3964 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
3965 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
3966 [Steve Henson]
3967
3968 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
3969 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
3970 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
3971
3972 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
3973 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
3974 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
3975
3976 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
3977 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
3978 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
3979 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
3980 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
3981 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
3982
3983 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
3984 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
3985 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
3986
3987 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
3988 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
3989 and vice versa.
3990
3991 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
3992 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
3993 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
3994 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
3995 [Steve Henson]
3996
3997 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
3998 [Steve Henson]
3999
4000 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
4001 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
4002 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
4003 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
4004 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
4005 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
4006 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
4007 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
4008 keys so we should be OK.
4009
4010 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
4011 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
4012 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
4013 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
4014 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
4015 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
4016 stay in the name of compatibility.
4017
4018 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
4019 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
4020 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
4021
4022 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
4023 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
4024 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
4025 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
4026 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
4027 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
4028 supplied key).
4029 [Steve Henson]
4030
4031 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
4032 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
4033 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
4034 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
4035 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
4036 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
4037 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
4038 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
4039 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
4040 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
4041 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
4042 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
4043 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
4044 [Steve Henson]
4045
4046 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
4047 [Steve Henson]
4048
4049 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
4050 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
4051 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
4052 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
4053 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
4054 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
4055 single self signed certificate. This means that:
4056 openssl verify ss.pem
4057 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
4058 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
4059 is OK.
4060 [Steve Henson]
4061
4062 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
4063 (and add it to external session representation).
4064 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
4065 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
4066 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
4067 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
4068 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
4069 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
4070 security holes.
4071 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
4072
4073 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
4074 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
4075 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
4076 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
4077
4078 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
4079 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
4080 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
4081 [Steve Henson]
4082
4083 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
4084 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
4085 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
4086 code.
4087 [Steve Henson]
4088
4089 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
4090 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
4091 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
4092
4093 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
4094 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
4095 certificate auxiliary information.
4096 [Steve Henson]
4097
4098 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
4099 the 'enc' command.
4100 [Steve Henson]
4101
4102 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
4103 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
4104 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
4105 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
4106 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
4107 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
4108 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
4109 [Richard Levitte]
4110
4111 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
4112 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
4113 [Steve Henson]
4114
4115 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
4116 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
4117 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
4118 manpages and fix a few bugs.
4119 [Steve Henson]
4120
4121 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
4122 [Steve Henson]
4123
4124 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
4125 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
4126 [Steve Henson]
4127
4128 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
4129 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
4130 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
4131 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
4132 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
4133 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
4134 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
4135 using the new 'x509' options.
4136
4137 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
4138 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
4139 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
4140 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
4141 for all purposes.
4142 [Steve Henson]
4143
4144 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
4145 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
4146 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
4147 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
4148 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
4149 [Mark Cox]
4150
4151 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
4152 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
4153 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
4154 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
4155 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
4156 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
4157 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
4158 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
4159 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
4160 the key length and effective key length are equal.
4161 [Steve Henson]
4162
4163 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
4164 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
4165 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
4166 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
4167 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
4168 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
4169 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
4170 [Steve Henson]
4171
4172 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
4173 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
4174 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
4175 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
4176 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
4177 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
4178 openssl.cnf for more info.
4179 [Steve Henson]
4180
4181 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
4182 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
4183 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
4184 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
4185 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
4186 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
4187 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
4188 md should be large enough anyway.
4189 [Bodo Moeller]
4190
4191 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
4192 for handling the random seed file.
4193
4194 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
4195 ca,
4196 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
4197 s_client,
4198 s_server,
4199 x509 (when signing).
4200 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
4201 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
4202 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
4203
4204 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
4205 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
4206 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
4207 that support '-rand'.
4208 [Bodo Moeller]
4209
4210 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
4211 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
4212 [Bodo Moeller]
4213
4214 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
4215 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
4216 [Bill Perry]
4217
4218 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
4219 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
4220 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
4221 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
4222 is suitable.
4223 [Steve Henson]
4224
4225 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
4226 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
4227 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
4228 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
4229 [Steve Henson]
4230
4231 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
4232 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
4233 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
4234 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
4235 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
4236 print out all the purposes.
4237 [Steve Henson]
4238
4239 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
4240 functions.
4241 [Steve Henson]
4242
4243 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
4244 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
4245 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
4246 single function call.
4247 [Steve Henson]
4248
4249 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
4250 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
4251 [Andy Polyakov]
4252
4253 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
4254 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
4255 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
4256 [Steve Henson]
4257
4258 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
4259 when producing the local key id.
4260 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4261
4262 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
4263 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
4264 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
4265 "server.pem".
4266 [Steve Henson]
4267
4268 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
4269 a public key to be input or output. For example:
4270 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
4271 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
4272 [Steve Henson]
4273
4274 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
4275 in the message. This was handled by allowing
4276 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
4277 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
4278
4279 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
4280 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
4281 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
4282 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4283
4284 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
4285 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
4286 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
4287 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
4288 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
4289 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
4290 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
4291 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
4292 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
4293 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
4294 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
4295 trivial: move one line.
4296 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
4297
4298 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
4299 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
4300 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
4301 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
4302 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
4303 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
4304 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
4305 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
4306 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
4307 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
4308 with an event loop for example.
4309 [Steve Henson]
4310
4311 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
4312 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
4313 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
4314 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
4315 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
4316 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
4317 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
4318 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
4319 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
4320 [Steve Henson]
4321
4322 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
4323 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
4324 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
4325 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
4326 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
4327 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
4328 [Steve Henson]
4329
4330 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
4331 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
4332 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
4333 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
4334
4335 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
4336 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
4337 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
4338 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
4339 key generation.
4340 [Steve Henson]
4341
4342 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
4343 (still largely untested)
4344 [Bodo Moeller]
4345
4346 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
4347 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
4348 [Steve Henson]
4349
4350 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
4351 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
4352 [Steve Henson]
4353
4354 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
4355 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
4356 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
4357 [Bodo Moeller]
4358
4359 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
4360 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
4361 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
4362 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
4363 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
4364 [Steve Henson]
4365
4366 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
4367 [Andy Polyakov]
4368
4369 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
4370 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
4371 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
4372 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
4373 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
4374 in ca.
4375 [Steve Henson]
4376
4377 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
4378 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
4379 1.OU="Unit name 1"
4380 2.OU="Unit name 2"
4381 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
4382 [Steve Henson]
4383
4384 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
4385 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
4386 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
4387 are otherwise ignored at present.
4388 [Steve Henson]
4389
4390 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
4391 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
4392 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
4393 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
4394 copied until the next read.
4395 [Steve Henson]
4396
4397 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
4398 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
4399 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
4400 [Steve Henson]
4401
4402 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
4403 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
4404 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
4405 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
4406 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
4407 associated functions.
4408 [Steve Henson]
4409
4410 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
4411 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
4412 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
4413 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
4414 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
4415 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
4416 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
4417 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
4418 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
4419 memory BIOs.
4420 [Steve Henson]
4421
4422 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
4423 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
4424 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
4425 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
4426 [Bodo Moeller]
4427
4428 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
4429 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
4430 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
4431 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
4432 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
4433 functionality.
4434 [Steve Henson]
4435
4436 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
4437 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
4438 under Win32.
4439 [Steve Henson]
4440
4441 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
4442 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
4443 extensions to be obtained and added.
4444 [Steve Henson]
4445
4446 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
4447 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
4448 [Bodo Moeller]
4449
4450 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
4451
4452 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4453 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4454
4455 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
4456 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
4457
4458 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
4459 program.
4460 [Steve Henson]
4461
4462 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
4463 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
4464 DH parameters contain its length).
4465
4466 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
4467 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
4468 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
4469 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
4470 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
4471 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
4472 utter importance to use
4473 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4474 or
4475 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4476 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
4477 attacks may become possible!
4478 [Bodo Moeller]
4479
4480 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
4481 [Bodo Moeller]
4482
4483 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
4484 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
4485 [Steve Henson]
4486
4487 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
4488 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
4489 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
4490 or long name.
4491 [Steve Henson]
4492
4493 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
4494 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
4495 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
4496 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
4497 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
4498 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
4499 private key operations.
4500 [Steve Henson]
4501
4502 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
4503 [Andy Polyakov]
4504
4505 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
4506 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
4507 to
4508 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
4509 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
4510 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
4511 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
4512 the password callback is called.
4513 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
4514
4515 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
4516
4517 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
4518 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
4519 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
4520 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
4521 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
4522 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
4523 this will work.
4524
4525 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
4526 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
4527 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
4528 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
4529 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
4530 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
4531 [Bodo Moeller]
4532
4533 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
4534 [Andy Polyakov]
4535
4536 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
4537 delete an unused file.
4538 [Ulf Möller]
4539
4540 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
4541 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
4542 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
4543 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
4544 [Steve Henson]
4545
4546 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
4547 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
4548 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
4549 of an error.
4550 [Bodo Moeller]
4551
4552 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
4553 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
4554 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4555
4556 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
4557 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
4558 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
4559 comparison" warnings.
4560 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
4561 [Steve Henson]
4562
4563 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
4564 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
4565 derived keys are printed to stderr.
4566 [Steve Henson]
4567
4568 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
4569 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
4570
4571 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
4572 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
4573
4574 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
4575 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
4576 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
4577
4578 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
4579 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
4580 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
4581 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
4582 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
4583 this bug.
4584 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
4585
4586 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
4587 The interface is as follows:
4588 Applications can use
4589 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
4590 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
4591 "off" is now the default.
4592 The library internally uses
4593 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
4594 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
4595 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
4596
4597 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
4598 even the default) are now avoided.
4599
4600 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
4601 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
4602 than just having a counter.
4603
4604 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
4605
4606 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
4607 extensions.
4608 [Bodo Moeller]
4609
4610 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
4611 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
4612 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
4613 Initial "mode" flags are:
4614
4615 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
4616 a single record has been written.
4617 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
4618 retries use the same buffer location.
4619 (But all of the contents must be
4620 copied!)
4621 [Bodo Moeller]
4622
4623 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
4624 worked.
4625
4626 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
4627 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
4628
4629 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
4630 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
4631 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
4632 [Steve Henson]
4633
4634 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
4635 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
4636 test programs.
4637 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
4638
4639 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
4640 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
4641 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
4642 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
4643 point to the end.
4644 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
4645 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
4646
4647 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
4648 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
4649 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
4650 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
4651 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
4652 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
4653 [Steve Henson]
4654
4655 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
4656 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
4657 necessary function names.
4658 [Steve Henson]
4659
4660 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
4661 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
4662 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
4663 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
4664 [Bodo Moeller]
4665
4666 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
4667 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
4668 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
4669 [Steve Henson]
4670
4671 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
4672 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
4673 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
4674 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
4675 such programs?)
4676 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
4677 need locks.
4678 [Bodo Moeller]
4679
4680 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
4681 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
4682 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
4683 [Bodo Moeller]
4684
4685 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
4686 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
4687 appropriate.
4688 [Bodo Moeller]
4689
4690 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
4691 for the encoded length.
4692 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
4693
4694 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
4695 [Steve Henson]
4696
4697 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
4698 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
4699 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
4700 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
4701 [Steve Henson]
4702
4703 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
4704 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
4705 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4706
4707 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
4708 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
4709 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
4710 unusual formatting.
4711 [Steve Henson]
4712
4713 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
4714 to use the new extension code.
4715 [Steve Henson]
4716
4717 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
4718 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
4719 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
4720 constant.
4721 [Steve Henson]
4722
4723 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
4724 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
4725 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
4726 [Bodo Moeller]
4727
4728 #if 0
4729 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
4730 [Ben Laurie]
4731 #else
4732 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
4733 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
4734 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
4735 #endif
4736
4737 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
4738 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
4739 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
4740 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
4741 [Ben Laurie]
4742
4743 *) DES library cleanups.
4744 [Ulf Möller]
4745
4746 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
4747 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
4748 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
4749 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
4750 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
4751 of v2.0.
4752 [Steve Henson]
4753
4754 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
4755 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
4756 [Bodo Moeller]
4757
4758 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
4759 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
4760 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
4761 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
4762 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
4763 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
4764 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
4765 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
4766 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
4767 [Steve Henson]
4768
4769 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
4770 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
4771 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
4772 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
4773 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
4774 value doesn't matter.
4775 [Steve Henson]
4776
4777 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
4778 support mutable.
4779 [Ben Laurie]
4780
4781 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
4782 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
4783 "linux-sparc" configuration.
4784 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
4785
4786 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
4787 [Ulf Möller]
4788
4789 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
4790 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
4791 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4792
4793 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
4794 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4795
4796 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
4797 [Ben Laurie]
4798
4799 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
4800 [Ben Laurie]
4801
4802 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
4803 [Ben Laurie]
4804
4805 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
4806 [Bodo Moeller]
4807
4808
4809 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
4810
4811 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
4812
4813 *) Updated some demos.
4814 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
4815
4816 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
4817 [Wu Zhigang]
4818
4819 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
4820 [Steve Henson]
4821
4822 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
4823 [Steve Henson]
4824
4825 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
4826 instead of using a fixed path.
4827 [Bodo Moeller]
4828
4829 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
4830 [Andy Polyakov]
4831
4832 *) Improvements for VMS support.
4833 [Richard Levitte]
4834
4835
4836 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
4837
4838 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
4839 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
4840 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4841
4842 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
4843 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
4844 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
4845 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
4846 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
4847 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
4848 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
4849 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
4850 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
4851 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
4852 [Steve Henson]
4853
4854 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
4855 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
4856 [Steve Henson]
4857
4858 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
4859 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
4860 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
4861 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
4862 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
4863
4864 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
4865 [Bodo Moeller]
4866
4867 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
4868 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
4869 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
4870 [Steve Henson]
4871
4872 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
4873 [Ben Laurie]
4874
4875 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
4876 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
4877 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
4878 key elements as negative integers.
4879 [Steve Henson]
4880
4881 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
4882 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4883
4884 *) VMS support.
4885 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
4886
4887 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
4888 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
4889 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
4890 [Steve Henson]
4891
4892 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
4893 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
4894 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
4895 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
4896 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
4897 [Bodo Moeller]
4898
4899 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
4900 [Ulf Möller]
4901
4902 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
4903 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
4904 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
4905 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4906
4907 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
4908 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
4909 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
4910
4911 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
4912 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
4913 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
4914 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
4915 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
4916 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
4917 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
4918 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
4919 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
4920
4921 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
4922 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
4923 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
4924 does not influence s as it used to.
4925
4926 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
4927 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
4928 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
4929 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
4930 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
4931 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
4932 [Bodo Moeller]
4933
4934 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
4935 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
4936 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
4937 key type.
4938 [Steve Henson]
4939
4940 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
4941 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
4942 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
4943 and 'x509').
4944 [Steve Henson]
4945
4946 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
4947 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
4948 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
4949 extension option.
4950 [Steve Henson]
4951
4952 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
4953 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
4954 [Ben Laurie]
4955
4956 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
4957 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4958
4959 *) Support Mingw32.
4960 [Ulf Möller]
4961
4962 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
4963 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4964
4965 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
4966 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4967
4968 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
4969 [Ulf Möller]
4970
4971 *) Update HPUX configuration.
4972 [Anonymous]
4973
4974 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
4975 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4976
4977 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
4978 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
4979 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
4980 DER-encoded.)
4981 [Bodo Moeller]
4982
4983 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
4984 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
4985 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
4986 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
4987 now it really counts the depth.
4988 [Bodo Moeller]
4989
4990 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
4991 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
4992 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
4993 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
4994 didn't match the private key).
4995
4996 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
4997 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
4998 connection using the SSL_CTX).
4999 [Bodo Moeller]
5000
5001 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
5002 [Ulf Möller]
5003
5004 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
5005 David Harris.
5006 [Bodo Moeller]
5007
5008 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
5009 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
5010 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
5011 [Bodo Moeller]
5012
5013 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
5014 [Bodo Moeller]
5015
5016 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
5017 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
5018 such as /usr/local/bin.
5019 [Bodo Moeller]
5020
5021 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
5022 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5023
5024 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
5025 [Ulf Möller]
5026
5027 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
5028 extension adding in x509 utility.
5029 [Steve Henson]
5030
5031 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
5032 [Ulf Möller]
5033
5034 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
5035 prototypes.
5036 [Steve Henson]
5037
5038 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
5039 [Ulf Möller]
5040
5041 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
5042 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
5043 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
5044 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
5045 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
5046 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
5047 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
5048 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
5049 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
5050 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
5051 [Steve Henson]
5052
5053 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
5054 [Bodo Moeller]
5055
5056 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
5057 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
5058 [Bodo Moeller]
5059
5060 *) Fix some race conditions.
5061 [Bodo Moeller]
5062
5063 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
5064 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
5065 [Steve Henson]
5066
5067 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
5068 [Ulf Möller]
5069
5070 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
5071 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
5072 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
5073 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
5074
5075 *) Fix lots of warnings.
5076 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5077
5078 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
5079 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
5080 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5081
5082 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
5083 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5084
5085 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
5086 [Ulf Möller]
5087
5088 *) Fix typos in error codes.
5089 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
5090
5091 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
5092 [Ulf Möller]
5093
5094 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
5095 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5096
5097 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
5098 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
5099 [Steve Henson]
5100
5101 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
5102 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
5103 [Ben Laurie]
5104
5105 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
5106 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
5107 [Steve Henson]
5108
5109 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
5110 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
5111 [Steve Henson]
5112
5113 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
5114 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
5115 [Steve Henson]
5116
5117 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
5118 support typesafe stack.
5119 [Steve Henson]
5120
5121 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
5122 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
5123
5124 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
5125 old X509V3 handling code.
5126 [Steve Henson]
5127
5128 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
5129 [Ulf Möller]
5130
5131 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
5132 [Bodo Moeller]
5133
5134 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
5135 [Ben Laurie]
5136
5137 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
5138 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
5139
5140 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
5141 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
5142 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
5143 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
5144 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
5145 [Ben Laurie]
5146
5147 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
5148 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
5149 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
5150 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
5151 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
5152
5153 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
5154 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
5155 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
5156 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5157
5158 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
5159 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
5160 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
5161 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5162
5163 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
5164 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
5165 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
5166 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
5167 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
5168 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
5169 [Bodo Moeller]
5170
5171 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
5172 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
5173 [Bodo Moeller]
5174
5175 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
5176 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
5177 [Ulf Möller]
5178
5179 *) Tweaks to Configure
5180 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5181
5182 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
5183 yet...
5184 [Steve Henson]
5185
5186 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
5187 [Ulf Möller]
5188
5189 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
5190 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
5191 [Ulf Möller]
5192
5193 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
5194 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
5195 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
5196 [Bodo Moeller]
5197
5198 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
5199 [Bodo Moeller]
5200
5201 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
5202 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
5203 [Steve Henson]
5204
5205 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
5206 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
5207 to library startup routines.
5208 [Steve Henson]
5209
5210 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
5211 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
5212 codes along the way.
5213 [Steve Henson]
5214
5215 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
5216 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
5217 objects to objects.h
5218 [Steve Henson]
5219
5220 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
5221 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
5222 [Steve Henson]
5223
5224 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
5225 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
5226
5227 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
5228 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
5229 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
5230
5231 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
5232 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5233 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5234
5235 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
5236 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
5237 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
5238
5239
5240 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
5241
5242 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
5243 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
5244 [Ben Laurie]
5245
5246 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
5247 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
5248 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
5249 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
5250 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
5251
5252 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
5253 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
5254 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
5255 document.
5256 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5257
5258 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
5259 Malloc, Free.
5260 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
5261
5262 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
5263 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5264
5265 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
5266 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
5267 if someone would make that last step automatic.
5268 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
5269
5270 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
5271 [Ben Laurie]
5272
5273 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
5274 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
5275 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
5276 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
5277 [Steve Henson]
5278
5279 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
5280 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
5281 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
5282 [Steve Henson]
5283
5284 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
5285 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
5286 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
5287 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
5288 installed as `perl').
5289 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5290
5291 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
5292 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5293
5294 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
5295 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
5296 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
5297 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
5298 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
5299 [Steve Henson]
5300
5301 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
5302 [Ben Laurie]
5303
5304 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
5305 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
5306 is horrible: I feel ill....
5307 [Steve Henson]
5308
5309 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
5310 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
5311 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
5312 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
5313 [Steve Henson]
5314
5315 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
5316 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5317
5318 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
5319 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
5320 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
5321 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5322
5323 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
5324 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
5325 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
5326 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
5327 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
5328 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
5329 openssl_bio.xs.
5330 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5331
5332 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
5333 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5334
5335 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
5336 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
5337
5338 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
5339 [Ben Laurie]
5340
5341 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
5342 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
5343 in CRLs.
5344 [Steve Henson]
5345
5346 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
5347 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
5348 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
5349 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
5350 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
5351 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
5352 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
5353 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
5354 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
5355 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
5356 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5357
5358 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
5359 [Ben Laurie]
5360
5361 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
5362 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
5363 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
5364 for linking it into DSOs.
5365 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5366
5367 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
5368 Fixed.
5369 [Ben Laurie]
5370
5371 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
5372 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
5373 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
5374 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
5375 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
5376 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5377
5378 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
5379 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
5380 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
5381 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
5382 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
5383 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
5384 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5385
5386 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
5387 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
5388 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
5389 encryption.
5390 [Ben Laurie]
5391
5392 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
5393 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
5394 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
5395 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
5396 [Steve Henson]
5397
5398 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
5399 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
5400 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
5401 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
5402 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
5403 field as blank.
5404 [Steve Henson]
5405
5406 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
5407 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
5408 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
5409 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
5410 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5411
5412 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
5413 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
5414 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5415
5416 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
5417 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5418
5419 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
5420 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
5421 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
5422 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
5423 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
5424 [Steve Henson]
5425
5426 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
5427 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
5428 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
5429 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
5430 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
5431 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
5432 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
5433 [Ben Laurie]
5434
5435 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
5436 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
5437 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
5438 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
5439 [Ben Laurie]
5440
5441 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
5442 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
5443
5444 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
5445 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
5446 [Steve Henson]
5447
5448 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
5449 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
5450 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
5451 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
5452 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
5453 (e.g. s_server).
5454 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
5455 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
5456 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
5457 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
5458 no way to reconfigure them.
5459 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
5460 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
5461 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
5462 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
5463 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
5464 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5465
5466 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
5467 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
5468 recognized by the users.
5469 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5470
5471 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
5472 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
5473 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
5474 already masked variable.
5475 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5476
5477 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
5478 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5479
5480 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
5481 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
5482 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
5483 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5484
5485 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
5486 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
5487 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5488
5489 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
5490 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
5491 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
5492 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
5493 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
5494 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
5495 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
5496 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
5497 now, too.
5498 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5499
5500 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
5501 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
5502 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5503
5504 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
5505 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
5506 config file.
5507 [Steve Henson]
5508
5509 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
5510 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5511
5512 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
5513 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
5514 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
5515 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
5516 [Ben Laurie]
5517
5518 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
5519 [Steve Henson]
5520
5521 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
5522 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5523
5524 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
5525 [Ben Laurie]
5526
5527 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
5528 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
5529 [Steve Henson]
5530
5531 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
5532 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
5533 [Steve Henson]
5534
5535 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
5536 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
5537 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
5538 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
5539 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
5540 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
5541 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
5542 Ben Laurie]
5543
5544 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
5545 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5546
5547 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
5548 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
5549 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
5550 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
5551 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5552
5553 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
5554 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
5555 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
5556 [Steve Henson]
5557
5558 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
5559 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
5560 an example.
5561 [Steve Henson]
5562
5563 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
5564 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
5565 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5566
5567 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
5568 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
5569 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
5570 build instructions.
5571 [Steve Henson]
5572
5573 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
5574 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
5575 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
5576 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
5577 [Steve Henson]
5578
5579 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
5580 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
5581 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
5582 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
5583 [Ben Laurie]
5584
5585 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
5586 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
5587 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
5588 so it wasn't spotted.
5589 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
5590
5591 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
5592 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
5593 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
5594 vectors if you have them.
5595 [Ben Laurie]
5596
5597 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
5598 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
5599 [Ben Laurie]
5600
5601 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
5602 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
5603 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
5604 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
5605 If you do a:
5606 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
5607 it will update them.
5608 [Steve Henson]
5609
5610 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
5611 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
5612 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
5613 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
5614 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
5615 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
5616 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
5617 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5618
5619 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
5620 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
5621 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
5622 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
5623 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
5624 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
5625 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
5626 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
5627 the crypto/md/ stuff).
5628 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5629
5630 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
5631 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
5632 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
5633 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
5634 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
5635 [Steve Henson]
5636
5637 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
5638 INTEGER code.
5639 [Steve Henson]
5640
5641 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
5642 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5643
5644 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
5645 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5646
5647 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
5648 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
5649 [Ben Laurie]
5650
5651 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
5652 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
5653
5654 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
5655 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
5656
5657 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
5658 [Steve Henson]
5659
5660 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
5661 few typos.
5662 [Steve Henson]
5663
5664 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
5665 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
5666 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
5667 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5668
5669 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5670 [Steve Henson]
5671
5672 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5673 [Steve Henson]
5674
5675 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
5676 [Steve Henson]
5677
5678 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
5679 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
5680 [Steve Henson]
5681
5682 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
5683 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
5684 CA extensions.
5685 [Steve Henson]
5686
5687 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
5688 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
5689 [Steve Henson]
5690
5691 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
5692 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
5693 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
5694 [Steve Henson]
5695
5696 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
5697 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
5698 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
5699 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
5700 properly to be processed.
5701 [Steve Henson]
5702
5703 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
5704 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
5705 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
5706 [Ben Laurie]
5707
5708 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
5709 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
5710
5711 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
5712 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
5713 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
5714 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
5715 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
5716 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
5717 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
5718 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
5719 or delete all the .err files.
5720 [Steve Henson]
5721
5722 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
5723 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
5724 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
5725 to regenerate it if needed.
5726 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
5727 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
5728
5729 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
5730 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5731
5732 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
5733 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
5734 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
5735 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
5736 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
5737 [Steve Henson]
5738
5739 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
5740 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5741
5742 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
5743 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5744
5745 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
5746 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
5747 error, but didn't set one).
5748 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5749
5750 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
5751 [Ben Laurie]
5752
5753 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
5754 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
5755 [Steve Henson]
5756
5757 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
5758 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
5759
5760 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
5761 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
5762 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
5763 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
5764 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
5765 OID is not part of the table.
5766 [Steve Henson]
5767
5768 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
5769 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
5770 [Ben Laurie]
5771
5772 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
5773 [Ben Laurie]
5774
5775 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
5776 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
5777 was "1234").
5778 [Steve Henson]
5779
5780 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
5781 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
5782
5783 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
5784 NULL pointers.
5785 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5786
5787 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
5788 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5789
5790 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
5791 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5792
5793 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
5794 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5795
5796 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
5797 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
5798 [Ben Laurie]
5799
5800 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
5801 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
5802 [Steve Henson]
5803
5804 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
5805 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5806
5807 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
5808 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5809
5810 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
5811 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5812
5813 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
5814 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5815
5816 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
5817 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
5818 unused in the certificate verification process.
5819 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5820
5821 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
5822 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
5823 [Steve Henson]
5824
5825 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
5826 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
5827 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
5828
5829 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
5830 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
5831 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
5832 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
5833 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
5834
5835 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
5836 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
5837 [Steve Henson]
5838
5839 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
5840 [Steve Henson]
5841
5842 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
5843 [Paul Sutton]
5844
5845 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
5846 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
5847
5848 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
5849 [Ben Laurie]
5850
5851 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
5852 [Ben Laurie]
5853
5854 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
5855 [Ben Laurie]
5856
5857 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
5858 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
5859 other error libraries.
5860 [Steve Henson]
5861
5862 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
5863 [Steve Henson]
5864
5865 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
5866 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
5867 be read in.
5868 [Steve Henson]
5869
5870 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
5871 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
5872 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
5873 the new set of documenation files.
5874 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5875
5876 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
5877 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
5878 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
5879 number of arguments.
5880 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
5881
5882 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
5883 [Ben Laurie]
5884
5885 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
5886 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
5887 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5888
5889 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
5890 [Ben Laurie]
5891
5892 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
5893 nextstep
5894 ncr-scde
5895 unixware-2.0
5896 unixware-2.0-pentium
5897 sco5-cc.
5898 [Ben Laurie]
5899
5900 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
5901 before they are needed.
5902 [Ben Laurie]
5903
5904 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
5905 [Ben Laurie]
5906
5907
5908 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
5909
5910 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
5911 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
5912 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5913
5914 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
5915 [Paul Sutton]
5916
5917 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
5918 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
5919 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5920
5921 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
5922 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
5923 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
5924
5925 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
5926 when "ssleay" is still not found.
5927 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5928
5929 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
5930 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
5931
5932 *) Updated the README file.
5933 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5934
5935 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
5936 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
5937 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5938
5939 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
5940 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
5941 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5942
5943 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
5944 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
5945 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
5946 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
5947 o removed obsolete TODO file
5948 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
5949 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5950
5951 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
5952 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
5953 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
5954 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
5955 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
5956 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
5957 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5958
5959 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
5960 [Mark J. Cox]
5961
5962 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
5963 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
5964 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
5965 summer 1998.
5966 [The OpenSSL Project]
5967
5968
5969 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]

5973
5974 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
5975 [Eric A. Young]

5978 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
5979 [Eric A. Young]
5980
5981 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
5982 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
5983 available).
5984 [Eric A. Young]
5985
5986 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
5987 binary structures
5988 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
5989
5990 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
5991 [Eric A. Young]
5992
5993 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
5994 [Eric A. Young]
5995
5996 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
5997 [Eric A. Young]
5998
5999 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
6000 [Eric A. Young]
6001
6002 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
6003 [Eric A. Young]
6004
6005 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
6006 [Eric A. Young]
6007
6008 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
6009 [Eric A. Young]
6010
6011 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
6012 [Eric A. Young]
6013
6014 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
6015 [Eric A. Young]
6016
6017 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
6018 [Eric A. Young]
6019
6020 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
6021 [Eric A. Young]
6022
6023 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
6024 [Eric A. Young]
6025
6026 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
6027 [Eric A. Young]
6028
6029 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
6030 [Eric A. Young]
6031
6032 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
6033 [Eric A. Young]
6034
6035 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
6036 [Eric A. Young]
6037
6038 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
6039 [Eric A. Young]
6040
6041 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
6042 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
6043 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6044 [Eric A. Young]
6045
6046 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
6047 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
6048 [Eric A. Young]
6049
6050 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
6051 [Eric A. Young]
6052
6053 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
6054 [Eric A. Young]
6055
6056 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
6057 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.

6062
6063 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
6064 [Eric A. Young]
6065
6066 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
6067 bytes sent in the client random.
