RL
7 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
9 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example if memory
11 pool implementations, or something else. The same is provided for
12 memory debugging code. OpenSSL already comes with code that finds
13 memory leaks, but this gives people a chance to debug other memory
14 problems.
d8df48a9 15
f3a2a044
RL
16 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
17
18 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
19 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
20 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
21 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
22 CRYPTO_melloc_debug_init() [M]
23
24 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
25 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
26 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() or
27 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() must be used.
28
29 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
30 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
31 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
32 options.
33
34 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
35 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
36
37 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
38 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
39 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
40
41 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.

b216664f
DSH
44 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
45 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
46 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
47 algorithm.
48 [Steve Henson]
49
d8223efd
DSH
50 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
51 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
52 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
53
5a9a4b29
DSH
54 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
55 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
56 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
57 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
58 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
59 included in OpenSSL.
60 [Steve Henson]
61
cddfe788
BM
62 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
63 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
64 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
65 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
66 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
67 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
68 [Bodo Moeller]
69
21131f00
DSH
70 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
71 PKCS12 structure.
72 [Steve Henson]
73
dd413410
DSH
74 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
75 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
76 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
77 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
78 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
79 structure.
80 [Steve Henson]
81
82 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
83 need initialising.
84 [Steve Henson]
85
08cba610
DSH
86 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
87 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
88 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
89 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
90 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
91 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
92 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
93 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
94 be maintained manually.
95
96 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
97 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
98 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
99 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
100 work because people forget to call this function]
101 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
102 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
103 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
104 [Steve Henson]
105
fea9afbf
BL
106 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
107 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
108 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
109 should be discouraged from doing it.
110 [Ben Laurie]
111
9868232a
DSH
112 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
113 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
114 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
115 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
116 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
117 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
118 [Steve Henson]
119
51630a37
DSH
120 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
121 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
122 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
123
124 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
bb7cd4e3
DSH
125 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
126 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
51630a37
DSH
127
128 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
129 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
130 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
131 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
132 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
133 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11262391
DSH
134
135 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
136 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
137 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
d4cec6a1 138
bb7cd4e3
DSH
139 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
140 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
141 and vice versa.
142
d4cec6a1
DSH
143 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
144 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
145 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
146 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11262391
DSH
147 [Steve Henson]
148
149 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6d3724d3
DSH
150 [Steve Henson]
151
52664f50
DSH
152 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
153 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
154 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
155 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
156 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
157 these are retained for compatability: however the DSA variants were
158 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
159 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
160 keys so we should be OK.
161
162 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
163 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
164 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
165 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
166 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
167 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
168 stay in the name of compatability.
169
170 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
171 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
172 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
173
174 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
175 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*() and add
176 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*()
177 except they up the reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow"
178 the supplied key).
179 [Steve Henson]
180
181 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
182 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
183 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
184 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
185 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
186 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
187 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
188 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
189 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
190 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
191 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
192 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
193 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
194 [Steve Henson]
195
a716d727
DSH
196 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
197 [Steve Henson]
198
f76d8c47
DSH
199 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
200 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
201 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
202 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
203 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
204 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
205 single self signed certificate. This means that:
206 openssl verify ss.pem
207 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
208 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
209 is OK.
210 [Steve Henson]
211
b1fe6ca1
BM
212 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
213 (and add it to external session representation).
214 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
215 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
216 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
217 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
218 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
219 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
220 security holes.
221 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
222
91895a59
DSH
223 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
224 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
225 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
f76d8c47 226 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
91895a59 227
fd699ac5
DSH
228 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
229 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
230 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
231 [Steve Henson]
232
e947f396
DSH
233 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
234 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
235 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
236 code.
237 [Steve Henson]
238
b7cfcfb7
MC
239 *) Correctly increment the reference count in the SSL_SESSION pointer
240 returned from SSL_get_session().
241 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
242
06556a17
DSH
243 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
244 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
245 certificate auxiliary information.
246 [Steve Henson]
247
a0e9f529
DSH
248 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
249 the 'enc' command.
250 [Steve Henson]
251
71d7526b
RL
252 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
253 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
254 allocation was originated. Also updated sid code to be multi-
255 thread-safe.
256 [Richard Levitte]
257
a0e9f529 258 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
954ef7ef
DSH
259 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
260 [Steve Henson]
261
af29811e
DSH
262 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
263 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
264 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
265 manpages and fix a few bugs.
266 [Steve Henson]
267
aba3e65f
DSH
268 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
269 [Steve Henson]
270
a0ad17bb
DSH
271 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
272 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
273 [Steve Henson]
274
ce1b4fe1
DSH
275 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
276 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
277 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
278 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
279 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
280 doing things this way a fair degree of compatability can be
281 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
282 using the new 'x509' options.
283
284 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
285 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
286 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
287 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
288 for all purposes.
289 [Steve Henson]
290
ce2c95b2
MC
291 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD). The
292 problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working since
293 SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced with
294 non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95% performance
295 improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
296 [Mark Cox]
297
9716a8f9
DSH
298 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
299 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
300 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
301 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
302 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
303 the effective key length. In this case the effective key lenth can still
304 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
305 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
306 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
307 the key length and effective key length are equal.
308 [Steve Henson]
309
74400f73
DSH
310 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
311 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
312 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
313 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
314 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
315 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
316 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
317 [Steve Henson]
318
319 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
320 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
321 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
322 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
323 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
324 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
325 openssl.cnf for more info.
326 [Steve Henson]
327
c1e744b9 328 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
62ac2938 329 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
c1e744b9
BM
330 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
331 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
332 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
333 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
334 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
335 md should be large enough anyway.
336 [Bodo Moeller]
337
a31011e8
BM
338 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
339 for handling the random seed file.
340
341 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
342 ca,
343 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its `-rand' option),
344 s_client,
345 s_server,
346 x509 (when signing).
347 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
348 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
99e87569 349 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
a31011e8
BM
350
351 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
352 of each file listed in the `-rand' option. The function as previously
353 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
354 that support `-rand'.
355 [Bodo Moeller]
356
357 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
358 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
359 [Bodo Moeller]
360
361 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
362 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
363 [Bill Perry]
364
462f79ec
DSH
365 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
366 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
367 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
368 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
369 is suitable.
370 [Steve Henson]
371
08e9c1af
DSH
372 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
373 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
374 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
375 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
376 [Steve Henson]
377
673b102c
DSH
378 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
379 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
380 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
381 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
382 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
383 print out all the purposes.
384 [Steve Henson]
385
56a3fec1
DSH
386 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
387 functions.
388 [Steve Henson]
389
4654ef98
DSH
390 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
391 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
392 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
393 single function call.
394 [Steve Henson]
395
7e102e28
AP
396 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
397 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
398 [Andy Polyakov]
399
d71c6bc5
DSH
400 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
401 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
402 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
403 [Steve Henson]
404
2d681b77
DSH
405 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
406 when producing the local key id.
407 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
408
3908cdf4
DSH
409 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
410 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
411 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
412 "server.pem".
413 [Steve Henson]
414
3ea23631
DSH
415 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
416 a public key to be input or output. For example:
417 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
418 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
419 [Steve Henson]
420
393f2c65
DSH
421 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
422 in the message. This was handled by allowing
423 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
424 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
425
426 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
427 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
428 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
429 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
430
4579dd5d
DSH
431 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
432 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
433 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
434 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
435 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
436 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
437 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
438 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
439 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
440 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
441 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
442 trivial: move one line.
443 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
444
06f4536a
DSH
445 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
446 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
447 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
448 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
449 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
450 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
451 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
452 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
453 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
454 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
455 with an event loop for example.

DSH
458 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
459 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
460 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
461 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
462 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
463 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
464 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
465 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
466 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
467 [Steve Henson]
468
090d848e
DSH
469 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
470 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
471 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
472 no longer acesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
473 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
474 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
475 [Steve Henson]
476

BM
477 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
478 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
479 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
480 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
481
4a61a64f
DSH
482 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
483 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
484 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
485 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
486 key generation.
487 [Steve Henson]
488
c1082a90 489 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.

491 [Bodo Moeller]
492
a785abc3
DSH
493 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
494 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
495 [Steve Henson]
496
aef838fc
DSH
497 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
498 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
499 [Steve Henson]
500
074309b7
BM
501 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
502 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
503 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
504 [Bodo Moeller]
505
8ce97163
DSH
506 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
507 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
508 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
509 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
510 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
511 [Steve Henson]
512
2d4287da
AP
513 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
514 [Andy Polyakov]
515
87a25f90
DSH
516 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
517 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
518 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
519 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
520 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
521 in ca.
522 [Steve Henson]
523
f9150e54
DSH
524 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
525 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
526 1.OU="Unit name 1"
527 2.OU="Unit name 2"
528 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
529 [Steve Henson]
530
c79b16e1
DSH
531 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
532 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
533 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
534 are otherwise ignored at present.
535 [Steve Henson]
536
96c2201b 537 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
0f7e6fe1 538 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7b65c329
DSH
539 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
540 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
541 copied until the next read.
542 [Steve Henson]
543
13066cee
DSH
544 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
545 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
546 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
547 [Steve Henson]
548
c0711f7f
DSH
549 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
550 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
551 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
552 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
553 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
554 associated functions.
555 [Steve Henson]
556
8484721a
DSH
557 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
558 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
559 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
560 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
561 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
562 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
563 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
564 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
565 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
566 memory BIOSs.
567 [Steve Henson]
568
de1915e4
BM
569 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
570 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
571 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
572 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
573 [Bodo Moeller]
574
c6c34506
DSH
575 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
576 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
577 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
578 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
579 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
580 functionality.
581 [Steve Henson]
582
fd520577
DSH
583 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
584 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
585 under Win32.
586 [Steve Henson]
587
87c49f62 588 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
fd520577
DSH
589 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
590 extensions to be obtained and added.
87c49f62

593 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
594 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
595 [Bodo Moeller]
596
9a577e29 597 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]

602 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
603 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
604
ed7f60fb
DSH
605 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
606 program.
607 [Steve Henson]
608
48c843c3
BM
609 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
610 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
611 DH parameters contain its length).
612
613 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
614 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
615 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
616 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
617 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
618 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
619 utter importance to use
620 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
621 or
622 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
623 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
624 attacks may become possible!
625 [Bodo Moeller]
626
627 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
628 [Bodo Moeller]
629
922180d7
DSH
630 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
631 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
632 [Steve Henson]
633
3e3d2ea2
DSH
634 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
635 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
636 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
637 or long name.
638 [Steve Henson]
639
770d19b8
DSH
640 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
641 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
642 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
643 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
96c2201b
BM
644 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
645 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
646 private key operations.
770d19b8
DSH
647 [Steve Henson]
648
a0618e3e
AP
649 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
650 [Andy Polyakov]
651
74678cc2
BM
652 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
653 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
654 to
655 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
656 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
657 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
658 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
659 the password callback is called.
96c2201b 660 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
74678cc2
BM
661
662 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
663
664 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
665 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
666 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
667 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
668 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
669 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
670 this will work.
0cceb1c7 671
664b9985
BM
672 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
673 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
674 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
2e0fc875 675 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
57119943
BM
676 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
677 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).

680 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
681 [Andy Polyakov]

683 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
684 delete an unused file.
