a43cf9fa 6
e9ad0d2c 7 OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001 and 9 July 2001)
e3fefbfd 8 and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were developed in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
e9ad0d2c 9
a9d2bc49 10 Change log entries are tagged as follows:
daba492c
BM
11 -) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c only
12 *) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c and 0.9.7
a9d2bc49
BM
13 +) applies to 0.9.7 only
14
f3e24bad
DSH
15 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already present.
16 [Steve Henson]
17
35e25255
BM
18 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
19 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
20 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
21 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
22 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
23
21a85f19
DSH
24 +) Add option to output public keys in req command.
25 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
26
883b0c22
BM
27 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
28 returns early because it has nothing to do.
29 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
30
31 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine and 0.9.7 release:]
32 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
33 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
34
898f856c
BM
35 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
36 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
37 (Use engine 'keyclient')
38 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
39
1d4581c2
BM
40 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
41 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
42 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
43 modules).
44 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
45
76c4336c
BM
46 +) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
47 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3ba1f111
BM
48 [Bodo Moeller]
49
83978bd3
BM
50 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
51 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
52 from 0.9.7.
53 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
54
55 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
56 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
57 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
58 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
59
60 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
61 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
62 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
63 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
64
c5571db0
BM
65 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
66 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
67
7aa983c6
BM
68 +) New functions/macros
69
70 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
71 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
72 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
73 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
74
75 to request calling a callback function
76
77 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
78 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
79
80 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
81 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
82 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
83 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
84 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
85 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
86 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
87 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
88 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
89 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
90
91 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
92 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
93 [Bodo Moeller]
94
95 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
96 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
97 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
98 [Bodo Moeller]
99
a7b42009
RL
100 +) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
101 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
102 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
103 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
104 the configuration scripts.
105
106 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
107 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
108 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
109
7d5b04db
DSH
110 +) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
111 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
112
48b0cf8b
BM
113 +) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
114 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
115 when reusing an existing buffer.
116 [Bodo Moeller]
117
c602e7f4
BM
118 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
119 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
48b0cf8b 120 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
c602e7f4
BM
121 become invalid.
122 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
123
1fc6d41b
DSH
124 +) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
125 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
126 [Steve Henson]
127
0e211563
BL
128 +) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
129 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
130 [Ben Laurie]
131
89da653f
BM
132 +) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
133 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
134 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
135 has the same effect.
136 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
137
ba1c6022
BM
138 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
139 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
140 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
141 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
142 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
143 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
144 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
145 [Bodo Moeller]
146
c2e4f17c
RL
147 +) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
148 with DES_ instead. This because there are increasing clashes with
149 libdes and other des libraries that are currently used by other
150 projects. The old libdes interface is provided, as well as crypt(),
151 if openssl/des_old.h is included. Note that crypt() is no longer
152 declared in openssl/des.h.
153
154 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
155 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
156 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
157 will be completely removed.
158 [Richard Levitte]
159
979689aa
BM
160 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
161 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
162 one of the SSL handshake functions.
163 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
164
f1558bb4
DSH
165 +) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
166 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
167 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
168 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
169 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
170 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
171 particular extension is supported.
172 [Steve Henson]
173
a661b653
BM
174 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
175 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
176 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
177 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
178 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
179 the client will at least see that alert.
180 [Bodo Moeller]
181
581f1c84
DSH
182 +) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
183 to retain compatibility with existing code.
184 [Steve Henson]
185
20d2186c 186 +) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
50d194af
DSH
187 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
188 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
189 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
190 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
191 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
192 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
193 requires the destination to be valid.
194
195 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
196 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
20d2186c
DSH
197 [Steve Henson]
198
48948d53
BM
199 +) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
200 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
201 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
202 [Bodo Moeller]
203
204 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
205 correctly.
206 [Bodo Moeller]
207
285046ec
RL
208 +) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
209 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
210
07cee702
GT
211 +) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
212 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
213 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
214 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
215 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
216 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
217 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
218 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
219 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
220 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
221 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
222 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
223 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
224 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
225 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
226 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
227 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
228 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
229 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
230 the new code.
231 [Geoff Thorpe]
232
d46c1a81
DSH
233 +) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
234 [Steve Henson]
235
89eeccac
RL
236 +) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
237 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
238 become part of libeay.num as well.
239 [Richard Levitte]
240
3b0b5aba
BM
241 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
242 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
243 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
244
6b0e9fac
BM
245 +) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
246 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
247 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
248 false once a handshake has been completed.
249 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
250 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
251 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
252 client has followed the request.)
253 [Bodo Moeller]
254
255 +) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
256 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
257 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
258 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
259 [Bodo Moeller]
260
2260ad21
BM
261 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
262 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
b49124f6
BM
263 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
264 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
265 HelloRequest.
2260ad21
BM
266
267 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
268 before just sending a HelloRequest.
b49124f6 269 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8e2f6b79 270
ee60d9fb
BM
271 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
272 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
273 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
274 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
275 may leak via logfiles.)
276
277 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
278 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
279 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
280 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
281 the legal range.
282 [Bodo Moeller]
283
96bd6f73
DSH
284 +) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
285 [Steve Henson]
286
c0f5dd07
LJ
287 +) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
288 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
289 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
290 [Lutz Jaenicke]
291
b26ca340
BM
292 +) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
293 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6c36f7a9
LJ
294 [Lutz Jaenicke]
295
b26ca340
BM
296 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
297 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
c5571db0
BM
298 [Lutz Jaenicke]
299
a9ed4da8
BM
300 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
301 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
302 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
303 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
e3fefbfd 304 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
a9ed4da8
BM
305 [Bodo Moeller]
306
4450107a 307 +) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
908efd3b
GT
308 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
309 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
310 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
a9ed4da8 311 [Geoff Thorpe]
908efd3b 312
4450107a 313 +) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
541814c4
GT
314 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
315 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
316 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
317 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
318 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
319 [Geoff Thorpe]
320
4450107a 321 +) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
541814c4
GT
322 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
323 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
324 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
325 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
326 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
327 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
328 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
329 [Geoff Thorpe]
330
d98a4b73
UM
331 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
332
