5 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
8 [Ben Laurie]
9
10 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
11 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
12 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
13 [Ben Laurie]
14
15 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
16 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
17 [Nick Mathewson]
18
19 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
20 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
21 [Ben Laurie]
22
23 *) Not all of this is true any longer.
24 Will have to be updated to reflect all subsequent changes to cryptlib.c.
25 --bodo
26
27
28 To support arbitrarily-typed thread IDs, deprecate the existing
29 type-specific APIs for a general purpose CRYPTO_THREADID
30 interface. Applications can choose the thread ID
31 callback type it wishes to register, as before;
32
33 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
34 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
35
36 but retrieval, copies, and comparisons of thread IDs are via
37 type-independent interfaces;
38
39 void CRYPTO_THREADID_set(CRYPTO_THREADID *id);
40 void CRYPTO_THREADID_cmp(const CRYPTO_THREADID *id1,
41 const CRYPTO_THREADID *id2);
42 void CRYPTO_THREADID_cpy(CRYPTO_THREADID *dst,
43 const CRYPTO_THREADID *src);
44
45 Also, for code that needs a thread ID "value" for use in
46 hash-tables or logging, a "hash" is available by;
47
48 unsigned long CRYPTO_THREADID_hash(const CRYPTO_THREADID *id);
49
50 This hash value is likely to be the thread ID anyway, but
51 otherwise it will be unique if possible or as collision-free as
52 possible if uniqueness can't be guaranteed on the target
53 architecture.
54
55 The following functions are deprecated;
56 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
57 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
58
59 As a consequence of the above, there are similar deprecations of
60 BN_BLINDING functions in favour of CRYPTO_THREADID-based
61 alternatives;
62
63 #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
64 unsigned long BN_BLINDING_get_thread_id(const BN_BLINDING *);
65 void BN_BLINDING_set_thread_id(BN_BLINDING *, unsigned long);
66 #endif
67 void BN_BLINDING_set_thread(BN_BLINDING *);
68 int BN_BLINDING_cmp_thread(const BN_BLINDING *, const
69 CRYPTO_THREADID *);
70
71 Also, the ERR_remove_state(int pid) API has been deprecated;
72
73 #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
74 void ERR_remove_state(unsigned long pid)
75 #endif
76 void ERR_remove_thread_state(CRYPTO_THREADID *tid);
77
78 [Geoff Thorpe]
79
80 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
81 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
82 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
83 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
84 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
85 content types and variants.
86 [Steve Henson]
87
88 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
89 [Steve Henson]
90
91 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
92 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
93 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
94 files from the associated perl scripts.
95 [Steve Henson]
96
97 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
98 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
99 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
100
101 *) s390x assembler pack.
102 [Andy Polyakov]
103
104 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
105 "family."
106 [Andy Polyakov]
107
108 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
109 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
110 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
111 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
112 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
113 to use. For example, specify an option
114
115 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
116
117 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
118 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
119 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
120 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
121 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
122 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
123
124 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
125 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
126 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
127 return non-zero for success.
128
129 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
130 by using
131
132 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
133 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
134
135 where
136
137 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
138 void *arg;
139
140 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
141 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
142 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
143 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
144 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
145 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
146 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
147 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
148 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
149
150 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
151 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
152 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
153 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
154 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
155 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
156
157 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
158 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
159 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
160 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
161 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
162 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
163
164 [Bodo Moeller]
165
166 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
167 MAC.
168
169 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
170
171 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
172 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
173 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
174 supported.
175
176 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
177 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
178 SSL_SESSION.
179
180 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
181 protection in servers so again support should be possible
182 with no application modification.
183
184 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
185 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
186
187 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
188 or server extensions to be examined.
189
190 This work was sponsored by Google.
191 [Steve Henson]
192
193 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
194 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
195 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
196
197 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
198 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
199 ciphersuite support.
200 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
201
202 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
203 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
204 to output in BER and PEM format.
205 [Steve Henson]
206
207 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
208 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
209 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
210 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
211 -macopt options to dgst utility.
212 [Steve Henson]
213
214 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
215 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
216 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
217 utility.
218 [Steve Henson]
219
220 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
221 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
222 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
223 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
224 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
225 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
226 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
227 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
228 enabled again.
229
230 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
231 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
232 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
233 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
234
235 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
236 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
237 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
238 the default order.
239 [Bodo Moeller]
240
241 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
242 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
243 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
244 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
245 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
246 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
247 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
248 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
249 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
250
251 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
252 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
253 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
254 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
255 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
256 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
257 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
258 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
259 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
260 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
261 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
262 kinds of kludges.
263
264 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
265 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
266 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
267
268 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
269 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
270 "CAMELLIA256".
271 [Bodo Moeller]
272
273 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
274 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
275 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
276 [Nils Larsch]
277
278 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
279 it yet and it is largely untested.
280 [Steve Henson]
281
282 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
283 [Nils Larsch]
284
285 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
286 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
287 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
288 [Steve Henson]
289
290 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
291 [Andy Polyakov]
292
293 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
294 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
295 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
296 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
297 [Steve Henson]
298
299 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
300 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
301 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
302 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
303 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
304 [Steve Henson]
305
306 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
307 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
308 [Cryptocom]
309
310 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
311 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
312 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
313 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
314 [Steve Henson]
315
316 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
317 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
318 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
319 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
320 [Steve Henson]
321
322 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
323 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
324 [Steve Henson]
325
326 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
327 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
328 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
329 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
330 [Steve Henson]
331
332 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
333 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
334 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
335 [Steve Henson]
336
337 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
338 utility.
339 [Steve Henson]
340
341 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
342 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
343 [Steve Henson]
344
345 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
346 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
347 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
348 if necessary.
349 [Steve Henson]
350
351 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
352 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
353 to free up any added signature OIDs.
354 [Steve Henson]
355
356 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
357 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
358 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
359 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
360 [Steve Henson]
361
362 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
363 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
364 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
365 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
366 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
367 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
368 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
369 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
370
371 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
372 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
373 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
374
375 we now have additional functions
376
377 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
378 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
379 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
380
381 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
382 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
383 callback is &errno.
384 [Bodo Moeller]
385
386 -- NOTE -- this change has been reverted and replaced with a
387 type-independent wrapper (ie. applications do not have to check
388 two type-specific thread ID representations as implied in this
389 change note). However, the "idptr" callback form described here
390 can still be registered. Please see the more recent CHANGES note
391 regarding CRYPTO_THREADID. [Geoff Thorpe]
392 -- NOTE --
393
394 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
395 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
396 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
397 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
398 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
399 the array representation useful in a more general context.
400 [Douglas Stebila]
401
402 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
403 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
404 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
405 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
406 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
407
408 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
409 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
410 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
411 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
412 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
413 protocol).
414
415 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
416 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
417 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
418 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
419
420 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
421 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
422 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
423 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
424 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
425
426 aECDH - ECDH cert
427 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
428 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
429
430 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
431 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
432
433 [Bodo Moeller]
434
435 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
436 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
437 [Steve Henson]
438
439 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
440 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
441 [Steve Henson]
442
443 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
444 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
445 functional reference processing.
446 [Steve Henson]
447
448 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
449 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
450 process.
451 [Steve Henson]
452
453 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
454 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
455 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
456 [Steve Henson]
457
458 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
459 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
460 application to support multiple signers.
461 [Steve Henson]
462
463 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
464 digest MAC.
465 [Steve Henson]
466
467 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
468 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
469 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
470 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
471 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
472 [Steve Henson]
473
474 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
475 new API.
476 [Steve Henson]
477
478 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
479 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
480 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
481 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
482 a no op.
483 [Steve Henson]
484
485 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
486 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
487 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
488 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
489 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
490 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
491 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
492 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
493 [Steve Henson]
494
495 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
496 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
497 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
498 between digests and public key types.
499 [Steve Henson]
500
501 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
502 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
503 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
504 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
505 [Steve Henson]
506
507 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
508 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
509 key ASN1 method.
510 [Steve Henson]
511
512 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
513 [Steve Henson]
514
515 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
516 pkeyutl.
517 [Steve Henson]
518
519 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
520 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
521 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
522 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
523 pkey, genpkey.
524 [Steve Henson]
525
526 *) BeOS support.
527 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
528
529 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
530 manual pages.
531 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
532
533 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
534 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
535 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
536 functionality for RSA.
537 [Steve Henson]
538
539 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
540 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
541 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
542 [Steve Henson]
543
544 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
545 key API, doesn't do much yet.
546 [Steve Henson]
547
548 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
549 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
550 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
551 [Steve Henson]
552
553 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
554 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
555 [Douglas Stebila]
556
557 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
558 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
559 [Steve Henson]
560
561 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
562 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
563 type.
564 [Steve Henson]
565
566 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
567 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
568 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
569 structure.
570 [Steve Henson]
571
572 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
573 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
574 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
575 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
576 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
577 of public and private key structures.
578 [Steve Henson]
579
580 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
581 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
582 [Douglas Stebila]
583
584 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
585 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
586 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
587
588 New ciphersuites:
589 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
590 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
591
592 New functions:
593 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
594 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
595 SSL_get_psk_identity
596 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
597
598 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
599
600 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
601 and response verification functionality.
602 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
603
604 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
605 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
606 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
607 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
608 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
609 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
610 server_name extension.
611
612 New functions (subject to change):
613
614 SSL_get_servername()
615 SSL_get_servername_type()
616 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
617
618 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
619
620 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
621 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
622 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
623 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
624 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
625
626 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
627
628 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
629 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
630 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
631 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
632 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
633 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
634 option.
635
636 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
637
638 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
639 [Andy Polyakov]
640
641 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
642 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
643 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
644 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
645 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
646 [Andy Polyakov]
647
648 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
649 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
650 macro.
651 [Bodo Moeller]
652
653 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
654 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
655 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
656 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
657 [Andy Polyakov]
658
659 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
660 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
661 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
662 using the maximum available value.
663 [Steve Henson]
664
665 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
666 in addition to the text details.
667 [Bodo Moeller]
668
669 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
670 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
671 handle several customised structures at all.
672 [Steve Henson]
673
674 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
675 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
676 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
677 [Steve Henson]
678
679 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
680 [Steve Henson]
681
682 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
683 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
684 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
685 [Steve Henson]
686
687 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
688 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
689 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
690 [Nils Larsch]
691
692 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
693 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
694 all fields.
695 [Steve Henson]
696
697 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
698 [Steve Henson]
699
700 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
701 [NTT]
702
703 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [xx XXX xxxx]
704
705 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
706 [Steve Henson]
707
708 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
709 [Huang Ying]
710
711 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
712
713 This work was sponsored by Logica.
714 [Steve Henson]
715
716 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
717 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
718 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
719
720 This work was sponsored by Logica.
721 [Steve Henson]
722
723 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
724
725 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
726 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
727 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
728 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
729
730 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
731 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
732 [Joe Orton]
733
734 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
735
736 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
737 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
738 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
739
740 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
741
742 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
743 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
744 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
745 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
746 [Lutz Jaenicke]
747
748 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
749 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
750 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
751 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
752 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
753 invalid read after the end of 'db').
754 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
755
756 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
757 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
758 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
759 sets may exist with different names.
760 [Steve Henson]
761
762 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
763 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
764 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
765 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
766 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
767 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
768 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
769 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
770 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
771 implementation.
772 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
773
774 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
775 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
776 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
777 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>, Geoff Thorpe]
778
779 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
780 uncompresses any data passed through it.
781 [Steve Henson]
782
783 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
784 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
785 [Steve Henson]
786
787 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
788 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
789 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
790 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
791 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
792 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
793 data.
794 [Steve Henson]
795
796 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
797 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
798 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
799
800 *) Netware support:
801
802 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
803 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
804 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
805 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
806 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
807 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
808 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
809 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
810 platform
811 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
812 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
813 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
814 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
815 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
816 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
817 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
818
819 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
820 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
821 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
822 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
823 to s_client and s_server.
824 [Steve Henson]
825
826 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
827
828 *) Fix various bugs:
829 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
830 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
831 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
832 + Fix ia64 assembler code
833 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
834
835 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
836
837 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
838 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
839 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
840 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
841 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
842 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
843 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
844 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
845 [Andy Polyakov]
846
847 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
848 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
849 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
850 Steve Henson]
851
852 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
853 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
854 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
855 supported.
856
857 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
858 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
859 SSL_SESSION.
860
861 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
862 protection in servers so again support should be possible
863 with no application modification.
864
865 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
866 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
867
868 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
869 or server extensions to be examined.
870
871 This work was sponsored by Google.
872 [Steve Henson]
873
874 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
875 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
876 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
877 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
878 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
879 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
880 server_name extension.
881
882 New functions (subject to change):
883
884 SSL_get_servername()
885 SSL_get_servername_type()
886 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
887
888 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
889
890 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
891 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
892 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
893 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
894 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
895
896 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
897
898 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
899 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
900 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
901 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
902 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
903 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
904 option.
905
906 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
907
908 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
909 [Steve Henson]
910
911 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
912 [Andy Polyakov]
913
914 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
915 (which previously caused an internal error).
916 [Bodo Moeller]
917
918 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
919 [Ben Laurie]
920
921 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
922 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
923
924 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
925 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
926 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
927
928 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
929 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
930 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
931 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
932
933 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
934 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
935 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
936 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
937
938 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
939 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
940 information. For detailed background information, see
941 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
942 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
943 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
944 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
945 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
946 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
947 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
948 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
949 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
950 remove a conditional branch.
951
952 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
953 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
954 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
955 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
956 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
957 remains as a deprecated alias.
958
959 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
960 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
961 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
962 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
963
964 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
965 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
966 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
967 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
968 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
969 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
970 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
971 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
972
973 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
974
975 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
976 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
977 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
978 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
979 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
980 with applications using a single external cache for quite
981 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
982 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
983 in a different context.
984 [Bodo Moeller]
985
986 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
987 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
988 authentication-only ciphersuites.
989 [Bodo Moeller]
990
991 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
992
993 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
994 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
995 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
996 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
997 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
998 [Victor Duchovni]
999
1000 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1001 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1002 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1003 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1004 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1005 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1006 [Bodo Moeller]
1007
1008 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1009 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1010 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1011 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1012 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1013 [Bodo Moeller]
1014
1015 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1016 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1017
1018 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1019 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1020 Improve header file function name parsing.
1021 [Steve Henson]
1022
1023 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1024 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1025 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
1026
1027 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1028
1029 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1030 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1031 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1032
1033 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1034 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1035
1036 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1037 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1038
1039 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1040 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1041 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1042
1043 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1044 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1045 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1046 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1047 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1048 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1049 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1050 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1051 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1052
1053 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1054 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1055 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1056 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1057 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1058
1059 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1060 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1061 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1062 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1063 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1064 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1065 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1066 multiple values to extend the available space.
1067
1068 [Bodo Moeller]
1069
1070 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1071
1072 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1073 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1074
1075 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1076 [Ben Laurie]
1077
1078 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1079 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1080 undesirable limitations.
1081 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1082
1083 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1084 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1085 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1086 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1087 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1088 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1089 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1090 [Bodo Moeller]
1091
1092 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1093
1094 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1095 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1096 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1097
1098 The latter two were purportedly from
1099 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1100 appear there.
1101
1102 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1103 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1104 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1105 [Bodo Moeller]
1106
1107 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1108 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1109 [Bodo Moeller]
1110
1111 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1112 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1113 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1114 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1115
1116 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1117 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1118 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1119 [NTT]
1120
1121 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1122 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1123 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1124 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1125 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1126 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1127 [Steve Henson]
1128
1129 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1130
1131 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1132 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1133 [Steve Henson]
1134
1135 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1136 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1137
1138 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1139 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1140 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1141 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1142 [Douglas Stebila]
1143
1144 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1145 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1146 [Steve Henson]
1147
1148 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1149 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1150 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1151 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1152 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1153 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1154 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1155 can't be loaded.
1156 [Steve Henson]
1157
1158 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1159 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1160 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1161 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1162 [Steve Henson]
1163
1164 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1165 under VC++ build system.
1166 [Steve Henson]
1167
1168 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1169 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1170 [Richard Levitte]
1171
1172 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1173
1174 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1175 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1176 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1177 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1178 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1179
1180 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1181 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1182 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1183
1184 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1185 [Steve Henson]
1186
1187 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1188 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1189 [Nils Larsch]
1190
1191 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1192 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1193
1194 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1195 [Nick Mathewson]
1196
1197 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1198 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1199
1200 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1201 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1202 [Steve Henson]
1203
1204 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1205 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1206 smime utility.
1207 [Steve Henson]
1208
1209 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1210
1211 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1212 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1213
1214 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1215 [Richard Levitte]
1216
1217 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1218 key into the same file any more.
1219 [Richard Levitte]
1220
1221 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1222 [Andy Polyakov]
1223
1224 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1225 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1226
1227 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1228 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1229 [Richard Levitte]
1230
1231 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1232 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1233 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1234 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1235 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1236 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1237
1238 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1239 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1240 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1241 [Steve Henson]
1242
1243 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1244 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1245 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1246 - add new function for parameter creation
1247 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1248 BN_BLINDING parameters
1249 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1250 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1251 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1252 threads.
1253 [Nils Larsch]
1254
1255 *) Add support for DTLS.
1256 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1257
1258 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1259 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1260 [Walter Goulet]
1261
1262 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1263 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1264 [Nils Larsch]
1265
1266 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1267 the apps/openssl applications.
1268 [Nils Larsch]
1269
1270 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1271 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1272 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1273 [Ben Laurie]
1274
1275 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1276 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1277
1278 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1279 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1280
1281 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1282 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1283 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1284 avoid this algorithm.)
1285
1286 [Bodo Moeller]
1287
1288 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1289 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1290 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1291 [Richard Levitte]
1292
1293 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1294 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1295 [Andy Polyakov]
1296
1297 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1298 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1299 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1300 pod file:
1301
1302 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1303
1304 The blank line is mandatory.
1305
1306 [Steve Henson]
1307
1308 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1309 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1310 sources.
1311 [Steve Henson]
1312
1313 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1314 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1315
1316 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1317 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1318 to support policy checking and print out.
1319 [Steve Henson]
1320
1321 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1322 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1323 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1324 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1325
1326 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1327 [Geoff Thorpe]
1328
1329 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1330 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1331
1332 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1333 implementation contributed by IBM.
1334 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1335
1336 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1337 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1338 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1339 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1340
1341 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1342 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1343
1344 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1345 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1346 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1347 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1348 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1349 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1350 [Steve Henson]
1351
1352 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1353 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1354 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1355 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1356 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1357 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1358 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1359 [Geoff Thorpe]
1360
1361 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1362 [Steve Henson]
1363
1364 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1365 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1366 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1367 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1368 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1369 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1370 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1371 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1372 [Steve Henson]
1373
1374 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1375 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1376 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1377 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1378 [Steve Henson]
1379
1380 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1381 syntax:
1382
1383 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1384 [Steve Henson]
1385
1386 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1387 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1388 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1389 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1390 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1391 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1392 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1393 [Geoff Thorpe]
1394
1395 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1396 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1397 [Geoff Thorpe]
1398
1399 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1400 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1401 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1402 [Steve Henson]
1403
1404 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1405 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1406 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1407 below).
1408 [Geoff Thorpe]
1409
1410 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1411 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1412 [Richard Levitte]
1413
1414 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1415 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1416 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1417 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1418 [Geoff Thorpe]
1419
1420 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1421 initialised value as BN_new().
1422 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1423
1424 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1425 [Steve Henson]
1426
1427 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1428 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1429 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1430 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1431 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1432 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1433 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1434 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1435 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1436 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1437 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1438 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1439 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1440 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1441 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1442
1443 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1444 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1445 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1446 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1447 [Geoff Thorpe]
1448
1449 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1450 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1451 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1452 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1453 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1454 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1455 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1456 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1457 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1458 [Geoff Thorpe]
1459
1460 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1461 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1462 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1463 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1464 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1465 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1466 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1467 [Geoff Thorpe]
1468
1469 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1470 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1471 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1472 these have been updated also.
1473 [Geoff Thorpe]
1474
1475 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1476 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1477 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1478 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1479 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1480 functions.
1481 [Steve Henson]
1482
1483 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1484 structure of type "other".
1485 [Steve Henson]
1486
1487 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1488 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1489 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1490 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1491 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1492 situation in the script.
1493 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1494
1495 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1496 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1497 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1498 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1499 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1500 used as premaster secret.
1501 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1502
1503 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1504 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1505 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1506
1507 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1508 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1509
1510 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1511 control of the error stack.
1512 [Richard Levitte]
1513
1514 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1515 [Richard Levitte]
1516
1517 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1518 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1519 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1520 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1521 [Richard Levitte]
1522
1523 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1524 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1525 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1526 [Richard Levitte]
1527
1528 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1529 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1530 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1531 a memory area.
1532 [Richard Levitte]
1533
1534 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1535 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1536 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1537 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1538 [Richard Levitte]
1539
1540 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1541 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1542 the following flags are defined:
1543
1544 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1545 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1546 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1547 number.
1548
1549 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1550 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1551 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1552 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1553 returns zero.
1554 [Richard Levitte]
1555
1556 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1557 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1558 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1559 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1560 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1561 [Richard Levitte]
1562
1563 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1564 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1565 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1566 [Richard Levitte]
1567
1568 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1569 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1570 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1571 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1572 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1573 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1574 [Richard Levitte]
1575
1576 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1577 req and dirName.
1578 [Steve Henson]
1579
1580 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1581 [Steve Henson]
1582
1583 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1584 [Steve Henson]
1585
1586 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1587 [Steve Henson]
1588
1589 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1590 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1591 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1592 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1593 default implementation more easily.
1594 [Geoff Thorpe]
1595
1596 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1597 in config files.
1598 [Steve Henson]
1599
1600 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1601 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1602 [Richard Levitte]
1603
1604 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1605 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1606 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1607 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1608
1609 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1610 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1611 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1612 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1613 [Steve Henson]
1614
1615 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1616 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1617 to do it.
1618 [Richard Levitte]
1619
1620 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1621 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1622 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1623 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1624 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1625 scalar * generator).
1626 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1627
1628 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1629 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1630 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1631 correctly.
1632 [Steve Henson]
1633
1634 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1635 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1636 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1637 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1638 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1639 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1640 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1641 linker additions, eg;
1642 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1643 [Geoff Thorpe]
1644
1645 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1646 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1647 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1648 [Geoff Thorpe]
1649
1650 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1651 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1652 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1653 via PR#459)
1654 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1655
1656 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1657 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1658 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1659 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1660 [Geoff Thorpe]
1661
1662 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1663 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1664 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1665 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1666 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1667 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1668 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1669 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1670 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1671 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1672
1673 Example for using the new callback interface:
1674
1675 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1676 void *my_arg = ...;
1677 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1678
1679 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1680
1681 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1682 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1683 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1684 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1685 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1686 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1687 */
1688
1689 [Geoff Thorpe]
1690
1691 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1692 available to TLS with the number defined in
1693 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1694 [Richard Levitte]
1695
1696 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1697 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1698
1699 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1700 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1701 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1702 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1703
1704 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1705 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1706
1707 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1708 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1709 well.
1710 [Richard Levitte]
1711
1712 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1713 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1714 [Richard Levitte]
1715
1716 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1717 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1718 and a macro that behave like
1719 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1720
1721 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1722 [Nils Larsch]
1723
1724 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1725 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1726 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1727 if applicable.
1728 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1729
1730 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1731 [Bodo Moeller]
1732
1733 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1734 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1735 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1736 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1737 directory engines/.
1738 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1739 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1740 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1741 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1742 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1743 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1744 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1745 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1746
1747 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1748 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1749 [Richard Levitte]
1750
1751 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1752 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1753
1754 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1755 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1756 files while avoiding the low level API.
1757
1758 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1759 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1760 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1761 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1762
1763 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1764 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1765 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1766 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1767 instead of the low level API.
1768 [Steve Henson]
1769
1770 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1771 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1772 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1773 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1774 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1775 PKCS#7 code.
1776
1777 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1778 down to the template encoder.
1779 [Steve Henson]
1780
1781 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1782 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1783 [Bodo Moeller]
1784
1785 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1786 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1787 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1788 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1789
1790 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1791 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1792
1793 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1794 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1795
1796 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1797 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1798 [Bodo Moeller]
1799
1800 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1801 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1802 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1803 [Bodo Moeller]
1804
1805 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1806 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1807
1808 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1809 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1810
1811 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1812 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1813 New EC_METHOD:
1814
1815 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1816
1817 New API functions:
1818
1819 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1820 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1821 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1822 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1823 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1824 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1825
1826 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1827 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1828 enable it).
1829
1830 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1831 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1832 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1833 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1834 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1835 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1836 various internal method names.)
1837
1838 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1839 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1840
1841 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1842 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1843
1844 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1845 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1846
1847 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1848 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1849 methods are undefined.
1850
1851 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1852 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1853
1854 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1855 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1856 length of the modulus.
1857
1858 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1859 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1860
1861 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1862 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1863
1864 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1865 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1866
1867 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1868 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1869 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1870
1871 BN_GF2m_add
1872 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1873 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1874 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1875 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1876 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
1877 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1878 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1879 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1880 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1881
1882 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1883 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1884
1885 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1886 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1887 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1888 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1889 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1890 where
1891 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1892 This applies to the following functions:
1893
1894 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
1895 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
1896 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
1897 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1898 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1899 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
1900 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1901 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1902 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1903 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1904
1905 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1906
1907 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1908 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1909
1910 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1911
1912 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1913 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1914 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1915 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1916 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1917
1918 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1919 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1920
1921 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1922 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1923 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1924
1925 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1926 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1927
1928 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1929 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1930 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1931 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1932 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1933
1934 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1935 functions
1936 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1937 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1938 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1939 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1940 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1941 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1942 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1943 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1944 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1945 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1946 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1947 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1948
1949 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1950 functions
1951 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
1952 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1953 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1954 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1955 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1956
1957 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1958 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1959 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1960 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1961
1962 *) Add functions
1963 EC_POINT_point2bn()
1964 EC_POINT_bn2point()
1965 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1966 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1967 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1968 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1969 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1970
1971 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1972 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1973 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1974 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1975 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1976 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1977 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1978 adding different types of curves.
1979 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1980
1981 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1982 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1983 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1984 [Bodo Moeller]
1985
1986 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1987 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1988
1989 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1990 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1991 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1992 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1993
1994 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1995
1996 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1997 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1998
1999 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2000 library. Most notably,
2001 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2002 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2003 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2004 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2005 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2006 extracted before the specific public key;
2007 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2008 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2009
2010 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2011 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2012 function
2013 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2014 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2015 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2016 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2017 accessed via
2018 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2019 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2020 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2021
2022 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2023 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2024 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2025 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2026 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2027 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2028 differing sizes.
2029 [Richard Levitte]
2030
2031 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2032
2033 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2034 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2035 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2036 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2037 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2038 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2039 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2040 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2041 in a different context.
2042 [Bodo Moeller]
2043
2044 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2045
2046 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2047 sensitive data.
2048 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2049
2050 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2051 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2052 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2053 [Bodo Moeller]
2054
2055 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2056 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2057 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2058 [Victor Duchovni]
2059
2060 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2061 [Steve Henson]
2062
2063 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2064 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2065 [Steve Henson]
2066
2067 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2068 run algorithm test programs.
2069 [Steve Henson]
2070
2071 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2072 [Steve Henson]
2073
2074 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2075 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2076 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2077 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2078 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2079 [Bodo Moeller]
2080
2081 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2082 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2083 [Steve Henson]
2084
2085 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2086
2087 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2088 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2089 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2090
2091 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2092 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2093
2094 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2095 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2096
2097 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2098 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2099 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2100
2101 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2102 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2103 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2104 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2105 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2106 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2107 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2108 [Bodo Moeller]
2109
2110 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2111
2112 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2113 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2114
2115 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2116 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2117 undesirable limitations.
2118 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2119
2120 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2121
2122 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2123 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2124 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2125
2126 The latter two were purportedly from
2127 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2128 appear there.
2129
2130 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2131 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2132 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2133 [Bodo Moeller]
2134
2135 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2136 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2137 [Bodo Moeller]
2138
2139 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2140
2141 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2142 module in FIPS mode.
2143 [Steve Henson]
2144
2145 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2146 [Steve Henson]
2147
2148 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2149 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2150 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2151 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2152 [Steve Henson]
2153
2154 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2155
2156 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2157 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2158 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2159 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2160 the difference induced by this change.
2161 [Andy Polyakov]
2162
2163 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2164
2165 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2166 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2167 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2168 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2169 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2170
2171 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2172 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2173 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2174
2175 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2176 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2177 [Steve Henson]
2178
2179 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2180 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2181 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2182 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2183 biased k.)
2184 [Bodo Moeller]
2185
2186 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2187 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2188 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2189 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2190 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2191
2192 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2193 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2194 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2195 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2196 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2197 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2198
2199 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2200
2201 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2202 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2203 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2204 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2205 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2206 [Bodo Moeller]
2207
2208 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2209 clients need.
2210 [Steve Henson]
2211
2212 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2213 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2214 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2215 [Steve Henson]
2216
2217 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2218 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2219 structures constant.
2220 [Steve Henson]
2221
2222 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2223
2224 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2225 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
2226
2227 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2228 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2229 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2230 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2231 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2232 some needed definitions.
2233 [Steve Henson]
2234
2235 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2236 [Ulf Möller]
2237
2238 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2239 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2240 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2241 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2242 [Richard Levitte]
2243
2244 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2245
2246 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2247 server and client random values. Previously
2248 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2249 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2250
2251 This change has negligible security impact because:
2252
2253 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2254 data.
2255
2256 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2257 handshake.
2258
2259 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2260 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2261 values.
2262
2263 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2264 to our attention.
2265
2266 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2267
2268 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2269 [Ulf Möller]
2270
2271 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2272 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2273 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2274
2275 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2276 [Steve Henson]
2277
2278 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2279 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2280 [Andy Polyakov]
2281
2282 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2283 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2284 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2285
2286 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2287 [Steve Henson]
2288
2289 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2290 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2291 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2292 certificates.
2293 [Steve Henson]
2294
2295 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2296 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2297 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2298 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2299
2300 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2301 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2302 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2303 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2304 been given)
2305 [Richard Levitte]
2306
2307 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2308
2309 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2310 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2311 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2312 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2313 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2314 [Steve Henson]
2315
2316 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2317 [Steve Henson]
2318
2319 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2320 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2321
2322 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2323 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2324 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2325 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2326 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2327 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2328 rather than being initialized to 1.
2329 [Steve Henson]
2330
2331 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2332
2333 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2334 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2335 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2336
2337 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2338 (CVE-2004-0112)
2339 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2340
2341 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2342 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2343 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2344 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2345 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2346 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2347 [Richard Levitte]
2348
2349 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2350 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2351 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2352 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2353 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2354 for these cases.
2355 [Steve Henson]
2356
2357 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2358 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2359 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2360 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2361 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2362 [Steve Henson]
2363
2364 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2365 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2366 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2367 < 0.9.7.
2368 [Steve Henson]
2369
2370 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2371 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2372
2373 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2374 [Steve Henson]
2375
2376 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2377
2378 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2379
2380 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2381 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2382
2383 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2384
2385 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2386 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2387
2388 [Steve Henson]
2389
2390 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2391 exiting on the first error in a request.
2392 [Steve Henson]
2393
2394 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2395 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2396 specifications.
2397 [Steve Henson]
2398
2399 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2400 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2401 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2402 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2403
2404 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2405 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2406 [Richard Levitte]
2407
2408 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2409 blocks during encryption.
2410 [Richard Levitte]
2411
2412 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2413 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2414 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2415 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2416 certain size.
2417 [Steve Henson]
2418
2419 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2420 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2421 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2422 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2423 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2424 parser.
2425 [Steve Henson]
2426
2427 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2428
2429 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2430 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2431 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2432 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2433 [Bodo Moeller]
2434
2435 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2436 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2437 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2438 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2439 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2440
2441 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2442 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2443 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2444 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2445 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2446 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2447 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2448 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2449 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2450 [Bodo Moeller]
2451
2452 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2453 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2454 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2455 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2456 [Geoff Thorpe]
2457
2458 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2459 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2460 [Ulf Moeller]
2461
2462 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2463
2464 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2465 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2466 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2467 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2468 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2469
2470 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2471 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2472 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2473
2474 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2475 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2476 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2477 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2478 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2479
2480 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2481 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2482 used by default when no-err is given.
2483 [Richard Levitte]
2484
2485 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2486 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2487
2488 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2489 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2490 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2491 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2492 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2493
2494 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2495 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2496 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2497 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2498
2499 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2500
2501 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2502
2503 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2504
2505 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2506 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2507 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2508 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2509 root is omitted).
2510 [Steve Henson]
2511
2512 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2513 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2514
2515 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2516 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2517 [Steve Henson]
2518
2519 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2520 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2521 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2522 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2523 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2524
2525 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2526 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2527 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2528 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2529 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2530 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2531 followup to PR #377.
2532 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2533
2534 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2535 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2536 [Andy Polyakov]
2537
2538 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2539 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2540 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2541 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2542
2543 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2544
2545 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2546 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
2547
2548 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2549 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2550 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2551 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2552 client and server.
2553 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2554 PR #377.
2555 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2556
2557 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2558 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2559 removed entirely.
2560 [Richard Levitte]
2561
2562 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2563 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2564 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2565 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2566 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2567 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2568 of libcrypto.
2569 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2570 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2571 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2572 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2573 have to be made anyway).
2574 [Richard Levitte]
2575
2576 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2577 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2578 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2579 [Steve Henson]
2580
2581 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2582 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2583 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2584 [Richard Levitte]
2585
2586 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2587 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2588 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2589
2590 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2591 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2592 edit numbers of the version.
2593 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2594
2595 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2596 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2597 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2598
2599 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2600 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2601
2602 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2603 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2604 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2605
2606 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2607 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2608
2609 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2610 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2611
2612 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2613 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2614
2615 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2616 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2617
2618 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2619 overflows.
2620 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2621
2622 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2623 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2624 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2625
2626 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2627 representations in a platform independent manner.
2628 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2629
2630 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2631 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2632 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2633
2634 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2635 indents.
2636 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2637
2638 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2639 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2640
2641 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2642 full. Fixed.
2643 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2644
2645 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2646 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2647 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2648
2649 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2650 unconditionally).
2651 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2652
2653 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2654 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2655
2656 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2657 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2658
2659 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2660 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2661
2662 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2663 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2664
2665 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2666 CBCParameter.
2667 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2668
2669 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2670 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2671
2672 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2673 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2674
2675 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2676 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2677 exploitable.
2678 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2679
2680 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2681 the 0.9.6 release series:
2682
2683 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2684 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2685 (CVE-2002-0657)
2686 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2687
2688 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2689 [Richard Levitte]
2690
2691 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2692 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2693
2694 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2695 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2696
2697 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2698 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2699 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2700 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2701
2702 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2703 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2704 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2705
2706 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2707 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2708 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2709 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2710
2711 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2712 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2713 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2714 some local tweaks:
2715
2716 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2717 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2718 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2719 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2720 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2721 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2722 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2723 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2724 done
2725
2726 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2727 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2728 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2729 [Richard Levitte]
2730
2731 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2732 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2733 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2734 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2735 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2736
2737 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2738 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2739
2740 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2741 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2742 [Richard Levitte]
2743
2744 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2745 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2746 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2747 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2748 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2749 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2750 [Steve Henson]
2751
2752 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2753 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2754 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2755 [Steve Henson]
2756
2757 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2758 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2759 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2760
2761 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2762 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2763 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2764 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2765 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2766 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2767 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2768 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2769
2770 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2771 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2772 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2773 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2774 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2775 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2776 [Steve Henson]
2777
2778 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2779 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2780 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2781 declaration has been changed from
2782 int (*cb)()
2783 into
2784 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2785 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2786 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2787 has been changed into
2788 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2789
2790 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2791 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2792 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2793
2794 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2795 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2796
2797 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2798 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2799 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2800 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2801 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2802 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2803 always load it have also been added.
2804 [Steve Henson]
2805
2806 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2807 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2808 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2809
2810 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2811
2812 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2813 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2814 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2815
2816 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2817 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2818 command line option can be used to specify an
2819 alternative file.
2820 [Steve Henson]
2821
2822 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2823 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2824 [Steve Henson]
2825
2826 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2827 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2828 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2829 [Steve Henson]
2830
2831 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2832 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2833 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2834 to work with the new engine framework.
2835 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2836
2837 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2838 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2839 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2840 to work with the new engine framework.
2841 [Richard Levitte]
2842
2843 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2844 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2845 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2846
2847 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2848 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2849
2850 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2851 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2852 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2853 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2854 FORMAT_IISSGC.
2855 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2856
2857 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2858 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2859
2860 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2861 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2862
2863 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2864 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2865 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2866 [Ben Laurie]
2867
2868 *) Add new functions
2869 ERR_peek_last_error
2870 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2871 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2872 These are similar to
2873 ERR_peek_error
2874 ERR_peek_error_line
2875 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2876 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2877 still in the error queue.
2878 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2879
2880 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2881 like:
2882 default_algorithms = ALL
2883 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2884 [Steve Henson]
2885
2886 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2887 [Steve Henson]
2888
2889 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2890 [Steve Henson]
2891
2892 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2893 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2894 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2895 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2896
2897 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2898 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2899
2900 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2901 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2902
2903 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2904 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2905 [Bodo Moeller]
2906
2907 *) New functions/macros
2908
2909 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2910 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2911 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2912 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2913
2914 to request calling a callback function
2915
2916 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2917 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2918
2919 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2920 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2921 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2922 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2923 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2924 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2925 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2926 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2927 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2928 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2929
2930 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2931 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2932 [Bodo Moeller]
2933
2934 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2935 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2936 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2937 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2938 the configuration scripts.
2939
2940 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2941 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2942 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2943
2944 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2945 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2946
2947 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2948 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2949 when reusing an existing buffer.
2950 [Bodo Moeller]
2951
2952 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2953 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2954 [Steve Henson]
2955
2956 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2957 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2958 [Ben Laurie]
2959
2960 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2961 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2962 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2963 has the same effect.
2964 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2965
2966 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2967 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2968 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2969 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2970 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2971 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2972 exception.
2973
2974 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2975 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2976 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2977 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2978
2979 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2980 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2981 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2982 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2983
2984 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2985 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2986 won't work.
2987
2988 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2989 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2990 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2991 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2992 default), and then completely removed.
2993 [Richard Levitte]
2994
2995 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2996 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2997 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2998 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2999 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3000 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3001 particular extension is supported.
3002 [Steve Henson]
3003
3004 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3005 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3006 [Steve Henson]
3007
3008 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3009 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3010 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3011 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3012 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3013 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3014 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3015 requires the destination to be valid.
3016
3017 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3018 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3019 [Steve Henson]
3020
3021 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3022 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3023 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3024 [Bodo Moeller]
3025
3026 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3027 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3028
3029 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3030 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3031 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3032 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3033 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3034 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3035 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3036 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3037 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3038 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3039 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3040 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3041 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3042 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3043 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3044 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3045 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3046 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3047 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3048 the new code.
3049 [Geoff Thorpe]
3050
3051 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3052 [Steve Henson]
3053
3054 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3055 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3056 become part of libeay.num as well.
3057 [Richard Levitte]
3058
3059 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3060 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3061 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3062 false once a handshake has been completed.
3063 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3064 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3065 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3066 client has followed the request.)
3067 [Bodo Moeller]
3068
3069 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3070 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3071 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3072 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3073
3074 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3075 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3076 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3077 [Bodo Moeller]
3078
3079 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3080 [Steve Henson]
3081
3082 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3083 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3084 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3085 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3086
3087 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3088 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3089 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3090
3091 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3092 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3093 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3094 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3095 [Geoff Thorpe]
3096
3097 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3098 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3099 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3100 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3101 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3102 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3103 [Geoff Thorpe]
3104
3105 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3106 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3107 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3108 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3109 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3110 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3111 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3112 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3113 [Geoff Thorpe]
3114
3115 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3116 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3117 [Geoff Thorpe]
3118
3119 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3120 [Ben Laurie]
3121
3122 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3123 md_data void pointer.
3124 [Ben Laurie]
3125
3126 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3127 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3128 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3129 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3130 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3131 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3132 [Ben Laurie]
3133
3134 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3135 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3136 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3137 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3138 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3139 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3140 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3141 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3142 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3143 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3144 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3145 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3146 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3147 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3148 rather than letting it slide.
3149
3150 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3151 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3152 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3153 [Geoff Thorpe]
3154
3155 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3156 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3157 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3158 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3159 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3160 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3161 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3162 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3163 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3164 [Geoff Thorpe]
3165
3166 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3167 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3168 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3169 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3170 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3171
3172 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3173 [Geoff Thorpe]
3174
3175 *) Add EVP test program.
3176 [Ben Laurie]
3177
3178 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3179 [Ben Laurie]
3180
3181 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3182 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3183 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3184 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3185 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3186 [Steve Henson]
3187
3188 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3189 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3190 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3191 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3192 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3193 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3194 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3195
3196 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3197 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3198 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3199 Usage example:
3200
3201 EVP_MD_CTX md;
3202
3203 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3204 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3205 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3206 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3207 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3208
3209 [Ben Laurie]
3210
3211 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3212 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3213 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3214 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3215 anyway): E.g.,
3216
3217 des_key_schedule ks;
3218
3219 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3220 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3221
3222 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3223 [Ben Laurie]
3224
3225 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3226 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3227 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3228 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3229 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3230 functions prevents this.
3231 [Steve Henson]
3232
3233 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3234 [Ben Laurie]
3235
3236 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3237 correct _ecb suffix.
3238 [Ben Laurie]
3239
3240 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3241 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3242 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3243 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3244 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3245 [Steve Henson]
3246
3247 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3248 [Richard Levitte]
3249
3250 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3251 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3252 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3253 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3254
3255 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3256 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3257
3258 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3259 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3260 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3261 via Richard Levitte]
3262
3263 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3264 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3265 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3266 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3267 [Geoff Thorpe]
3268
3269 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3270 Before:
3271 encrypt
3272 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3273 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3285 [Ben Laurie]
3286
3287 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3288 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3289
3290 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3291 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3292 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3293 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3294 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3295 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3296 [Steve Henson]
3297
3298 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3299 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3300 [Richard Levitte]
3301
3302 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3303 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3304 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3305 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3306
3307 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3308 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3309 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3310 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3311 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3312 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3313 callback.
3314 [Richard Levitte]
3315
3316 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3317 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3318 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3319 and interrupts/cancellations.
3320 [Richard Levitte]
3321
3322 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3323 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3324 [Steve Henson]
3325
3326 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3327 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3328 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3329
3330 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3331 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3332 kind of callback.
3333 [Richard Levitte]
3334
3335 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3336 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3337 than this minimum value is recommended.
3338 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3339
3340 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3341 that are easily reachable.
3342 [Richard Levitte]
3343
3344 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3345 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3346
3347 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3348
3349 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3350 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3351 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3352 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3353 [Steve Henson]
3354
3355 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3356 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3357 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3358 [Steve Henson]
3359
3360 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3361 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3362 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3363 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3364 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3365 internally such as S/MIME.
3366
3367 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3368 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3369 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3370
3371 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3372 applications.
3373 [Steve Henson]
3374
3375 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3376 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3377 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3378 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3379
3380 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3381
3382 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3383
3384 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3385 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3386 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3387 handling.
3388 [Steve Henson]
3389
3390 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3391 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3392 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3393 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3394 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3395 a window system and the like.
3396 [Richard Levitte]
3397
3398 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3399 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3400 [Geoff]
3401
3402 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3403 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3404 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3405 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3406 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3407 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3408 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3409 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3410 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3411 ENGINE structure.
3412 [Geoff]
3413
3414 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3415 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3416 tag cache.
3417 [Steve Henson]
3418
3419 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3420 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3421 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3422 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3423 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3424 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3425 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3426 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3427 [Geoff]
3428
3429 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3430 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3431 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3432 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3433 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3434 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3435 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3436 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3437 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3438 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3439 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3440 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3441 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3442 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3443 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3444 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3445 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3446 [Geoff]
3447
3448 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3449 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3450 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3451 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3452 internal engine_int.h header.
3453 [Geoff]
3454
3455 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3456 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3457 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3458 modify their own ones).
3459 [Geoff]
3460
3461 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3462 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3463 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3464 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3465 later on via ctrl() commands.
3466 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3467 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3468 structural references.
3469 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3470 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3471 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3472 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3473 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3474 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3475 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3476 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3477 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3478 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3479 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3480 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3481 [Geoff]
3482
3483 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3484 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3485 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3486 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3487 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3488 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3489 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3490 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3491 [Bodo Moeller]
3492
3493 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3494 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3495 [Steve Henson]
3496
3497 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3498 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3499 [Steve Henson]
3500
3501 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3502 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3503 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3504 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3505 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3506 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3507 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3508 [Steve Henson]
3509
3510 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3511 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3512 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3513 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3514 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3515
3516 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3517 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3518 generator).
3519 [Bodo Moeller]
3520
3521 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3522
3523 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3524 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3525 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3526
3527 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3528 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3529
3530 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3531 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3532 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3533
3534 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3535 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3536
3537 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3538 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3539
3540 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3541
3542 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3543 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3544 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3545 [Bodo Moeller]
3546
3547 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3548 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3549 [Richard Levitte]
3550
3551 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3552 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3553 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3554 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3555 is 40 of more characters long.
3556 [Steve Henson]
3557
3558 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3559 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3560 pointers.
3561 [Steve Henson]
3562
3563 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3564 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3565 [Bodo Moeller]
3566
3567 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3568 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3569 might.
3570 [Steve Henson]
3571
3572 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3573
3574 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3575 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3576
3577 ASN1 error codes
3578 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3579 ...
3580 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3581 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3582 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3583 ...
3584 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3585 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3586
3587 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3588 [Bodo Moeller]
3589
3590 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3591 suffices.
3592 [Bodo Moeller]
3593
3594 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3595 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3596 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3597 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3598 and
3599 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3600
3601 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3602 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3603
3604 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3605 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3606 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3607 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3608 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3609 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3610
3611 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3612 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3613
3614 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3615 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3616
3617 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3618 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3619
3620 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3621 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3622 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3623 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3624
3625 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3626 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3627
3628 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3629 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3630
3631 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3632 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3633 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3634 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3635 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3636 [Richard Levitte]
3637
3638 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3639 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3640 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3641 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3642 [Steve Henson]
3643
3644 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3645 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3646 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3647 trust settings.
3648 [Steve Henson]
3649
3650 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3651 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3652 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3653 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3654 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3655 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3656 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3657 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3658 ocsp utility.
3659 [Steve Henson]
3660
3661 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3662 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3663 [Steve Henson]
3664
3665 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3666 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3667 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3668 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3669 [Steve Henson]
3670
3671 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3672 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3673 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3674 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3675 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3676 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3677 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3678 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3679 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3680 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3681 [Steve Henson]
3682
3683 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3684 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3685 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3686 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3687 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3688 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3689 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3690 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3691
3692 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3693 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3694 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3695 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3696 [Richard Levitte]
3697
3698 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3699 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3700 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3701 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3702 opensslconf.h.
3703 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3704 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3705 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3706 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3707 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3708 what is available.
3709 [Richard Levitte]
3710
3711 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3712 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3713 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3714 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3715 auto incremented.
3716 [Steve Henson]
3717
3718 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3719 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3720 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3721 [Steve Henson]
3722
3723 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3724 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3725 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3726 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3727 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3728 [Steve Henson]
3729
3730 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3731 [Steve Henson]
3732
3733 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3734 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3735 option to ocsp utility.
3736 [Steve Henson]
3737
3738 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3739 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3740 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3741 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3742 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3743 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3744 the request is nonce-less.
3745 [Steve Henson]
3746
3747 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3748 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3749 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3750 [Bodo Moeller]
3751
3752 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3753 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3754 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3755 [Steve Henson]
3756
3757 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3758 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3759 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3760 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3761 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3762 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3763
3764 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3765 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3766 appear to exist.
3767 [Steve Henson]
3768
3769 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3770 additional certificates supplied.
3771 [Steve Henson]
3772
3773 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3774 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3775 signature against.
3776 [Richard Levitte]
3777
3778 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3779 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3780 AES OIDs.
3781
3782 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3783 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3784 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3785 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3786 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3787 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3788 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3789 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3790 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3791
3792 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3793 request to response.
3794 [Steve Henson]
3795
3796 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3797 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3798 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3799 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3800 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3801 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3802 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3803 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3804 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3805 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3806 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3807 [Steve Henson]
3808
3809 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3810 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3811 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3812 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3813 [Steve Henson]
3814
3815 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3816 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3817
3818 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3819 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3820 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3821 [Steve Henson]
3822
3823 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3824 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3825 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3826 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3827 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3828
3829 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3830 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3831 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3832 [Steve Henson]
3833
3834 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3835 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3836 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3837 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3838 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3839 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3840 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3841 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3842
3843 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3844 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3845 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3846 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3847 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3848 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3849 [Steve Henson]
3850
3851 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3852 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3853 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3854 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3855 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3856 printout format cleaned up.
3857 [Steve Henson]
3858
3859 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3860 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3861 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3862 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3863 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3864 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3865 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3866 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3867 [Steve Henson]
3868
3869 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3870 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3871 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3872 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3873 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3874 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3875 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3876 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3877 [Steve Henson]
3878
3879 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3880 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3881 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3882 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3883 section to use.
3884 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3885
3886 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3887 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3888 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3889 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3890 [Steve Henson]
3891
3892 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3893 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3894 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3895 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3896 in the index file.
3897 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3898
3899 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3900 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3901 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3902 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3903
3904 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3905 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3906
3907 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3908 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3909 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3910 [Steve Henson]
3911
3912 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3913 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3914 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3915 [Bodo Moeller]
3916
3917 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3918 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3919 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3920 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3921 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3922 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3923 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3924 functions are provided:
3925
3926 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3927 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3928 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3929 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3930
3931 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3932 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3933 extended allocation function is enabled.
3934 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3935 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3936 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3937
3938 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3939 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3940 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3941 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3942 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3943 [Geoff Thorpe]
3944
3945 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3946 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3947 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3948 be queried.
3949 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3950 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3951 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3952 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3953
3954 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3955 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3956 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3957 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3958 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3959 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3960 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3961 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3962 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3963 [Richard Levitte]
3964
3965 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3966 provide utility functions which an application needing
3967 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3968 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3969 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3970
3971 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3972 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3973 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3974 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3975 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3976 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3977 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3978 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3979 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3980
3981 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3982 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3983 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3984 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3985 [Steve Henson]
3986
3987 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3988 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3989 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3990 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3991 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3992 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3993 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3994 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3995 will be added elsewhere.
3996 [Steve Henson]
3997
3998 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3999 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4000 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4001 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4002 [Steve Henson]
4003
4004 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4005 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4006 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4007 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4008 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4009 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4010 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4011 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4012 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4013 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4014 to produce the required SET OF.
4015 [Steve Henson]
4016
4017 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4018 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4019 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4020 [Richard Levitte]
4021
4022 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4023 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4024 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4025 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4026 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4027 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4028 [Steve Henson]
4029
4030 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4031 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4032 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4033 [Steve Henson]
4034
4035 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4036 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4037 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4038 [Richard Levitte]
4039
4040 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4041 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4042 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4043 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4044 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4045 [Steve Henson]
4046
4047 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4048 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4049 [Steve Henson]
4050
4051 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4052 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4053 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4054 certifcates and CRLs.
4055 [Steve Henson]
4056
4057 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4058 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4059 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4060 [Steve Henson]
4061
4062 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4063 entries for variables.
4064 [Steve Henson]
4065
4066 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4067 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4068 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4069 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4070 [Bodo Moeller]
4071
4072 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4073 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4074 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4075 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4076 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4077 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4078 [Bodo Moeller]
4079
4080 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4081 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4082
4083 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4084 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4085 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4086 [Steve Henson]
4087
4088 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4089 print routines.
4090 [Steve Henson]
4091
4092 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4093 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4094 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4095 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4096 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4097 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4098 [Steve Henson]
4099
4100 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4101 [Steve Henson]
4102
4103 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4104 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4105 for now but they will eventually go away.
4106 [Steve Henson]
4107
4108 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4109 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4110 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4111 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4112 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4113 has also been converted to the new form.
4114 [Steve Henson]
4115
4116 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4117 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4118 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4119 for negative moduli.
4120 [Bodo Moeller]
4121
4122 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4123 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4124 [Bodo Moeller]
4125
4126 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4127 set.
4128 [Bodo Moeller]
4129
4130 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4131 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4132 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4133 type-specific callbacks.
4134 [Geoff Thorpe]
4135
4136 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4137 RFC 2712.
4138 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4139 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4140
4141 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4142 in sections depending on the subject.
4143 [Richard Levitte]
4144
4145 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4146 Windows.
4147 [Richard Levitte]
4148
4149 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4150 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4151 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4152 be handled deterministically).
4153 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4154
4155 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4156 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4157 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4158 [Bodo Moeller]
4159
4160 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4161 [Bodo Moeller]
4162
4163 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4164 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4165 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4166 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4167 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4168 [Bodo Moeller]
4169
4170 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4171 sign of the number in question.
4172
4173 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4174
4175 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4176 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4177 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4178 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4179 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4180 [Bodo Moeller]
4181
4182 *) New function BN_swap.
4183 [Bodo Moeller]
4184
4185 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4186 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4187 results on negative inputs.
4188 [Bodo Moeller]
4189
4190 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4191 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4192 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4193 [Bodo Moeller]
4194
4195 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4196 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4197 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4198 and add new functions:
4199
4200 BN_nnmod
4201 BN_mod_sqr
4202 BN_mod_add
4203 BN_mod_add_quick
4204 BN_mod_sub
4205 BN_mod_sub_quick
4206 BN_mod_lshift1
4207 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4208 BN_mod_lshift
4209 BN_mod_lshift_quick
4210
4211 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4212
4213 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4214 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4215
4216 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4217 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4218 be reduced modulo m.
4219 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4220
4221 #if 0
4222 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4223 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4224 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4225
4226 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4227 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4228 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4229 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4230 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4231 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4232 differing sizes.
4233 [Richard Levitte]
4234 #endif
4235
4236 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4237 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4238 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4239 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4240 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4241
4242 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4243 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4244 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4245 cause any problems.
4246 [Bodo Moeller]
4247
4248 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4249 [Richard Levitte]
4250
4251 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4252 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4253 [Richard Levitte]
4254
4255 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4256 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4257 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4258 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4259 time)
4260 [Richard Levitte]
4261
4262 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4263 [Richard Levitte]
4264
4265 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4266 [Richard Levitte]
4267
4268 *) Add the following functions:
4269
4270 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4271 ENGINE_load_chil()
4272 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4273 ENGINE_load_nuron()
4274 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4275
4276 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4277 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4278 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4279 libraries unless it's really needed.
4280
4281 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4282 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4283 declarations (they differed!).
4284 [Richard Levitte]
4285
4286 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4287 [Richard Levitte]
4288
4289 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4290 [Richard Levitte]
4291
4292 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4293 [Bodo Moeller]
4294
4295 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4296 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4297 [Richard Levitte]
4298
4299 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4300 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4301 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4302
4303 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4304 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4305 [Richard Levitte]
4306
4307 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4308 [Richard Levitte]
4309
4310 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4311 [Richard Levitte]
4312
4313 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4314 [Ben Laurie]
4315
4316 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4317 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4318 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4319
4320 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4321 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4322 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4323 different shared library filenames on each system.
4324 [Geoff Thorpe]
4325
4326 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4327 [Richard Levitte]
4328
4329 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4330 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4331 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4332 of two sections.
4333 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4334
4335 *) NCONF changes.
4336 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4337 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4338 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4339 binary backward compatibility.
4340 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4341 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4342 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4343 LDAP server.
4344 [Richard Levitte]
4345
4346 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4347 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4348 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4349 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4350 this case.
4351 [Steve Henson]
4352
4353 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4354 [Ben Laurie]
4355
4356 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4357 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4358 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4359 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4360 set.
4361 [Steve Henson]
4362
4363 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4364 [Richard Levitte]
4365
4366 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4367
4368 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4369 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4370 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4371
4372 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4373
4374 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4375
4376 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4377 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4378 [Steve Henson]
4379
4380 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4381
4382 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4383
4384 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4385 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4386
4387 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4388 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4389
4390 [Steve Henson]
4391
4392 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4393 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4394 specifications.
4395 [Steve Henson]
4396
4397 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4398 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4399 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4400 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4401
4402 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4403 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4404 [Richard Levitte]
4405
4406 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4407
4408 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4409 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4410 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4411 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4412 [Bodo Moeller]
4413
4414 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4415 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4416 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4417 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4418 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4419
4420 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4421 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4422 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4423 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4424 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4425 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4426 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4427 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4428 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4429 [Bodo Moeller]
4430
4431 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4432
4433 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4434 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4435 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4436 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4437 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4438
4439 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4440 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4441 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4442
4443 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4444
4445 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4446 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4447 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4448 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4449 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4450 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4451 [Geoff Thorpe]
4452
4453 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4454 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4455 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4456 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4457 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4458 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4459
4460 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4461 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4462 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4463
4464 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4465 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4466 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4467 EVP_cleanup().
4468 [Richard Levitte]
4469
4470 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4471 being properly terminated.
4472 [Richard Levitte]
4473
4474 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4475 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4476 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4477 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4478
4479 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4480 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4481 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4482 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4483 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4484 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4485 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4486 change.
4487 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4488
4489 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4490 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4491 [Bodo Moeller]
4492
4493 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4494 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4495 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4496 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4497 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4498 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4499 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4500 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4501
4502 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4503 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4504 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4505 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4506 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4507
4508 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4509 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4510 [Steve Henson]
4511
4512 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4513
4514 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4515 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4516 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4517
4518 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4519
4520 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4521 and get fix the header length calculation.
4522 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4523 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4524 Steve Henson]
4525
4526 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4527 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4528 assertions could call abort()).
4529 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4530
4531 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4532
4533 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4534 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4535 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4536 supplied buffer.
4537 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4538
4539 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4540 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4541 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4542 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4543
4544 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4545 [Nils Larsch]
4546
4547 *) New option
4548 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4549 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4550 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4551
4552 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4553 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4554 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4555 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4556 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4557 applications.
4558 [Bodo Moeller]
4559
4560 *) Changes in security patch:
4561
4562 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4563 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4564 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4565 F30602-01-2-0537.
4566
4567 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4568 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4569 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4570 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4571 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4572
4573 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4574 happen in practice.
4575 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4576
4577 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4578 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4579 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4580
4581 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4582 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4583 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4584
4585 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4586 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4587 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4588
4589 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4590
4591 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4592 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4593 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4594
4595 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4596 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4597
4598 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4599 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4600 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4601 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4602 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4603 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4604 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4605
4606 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4607 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4608 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4609 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4610 [Bodo Moeller]
4611
4612 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4613 [Bodo Moeller]
4614
4615 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4616 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4617 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4618 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4619 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4620 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4621
4622 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4623 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4624 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4625 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4626 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4627 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4628
4629 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4630 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4631 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4632 BN_generate_prime().)
4633
4634 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4635 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4636 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4637 better.
4638 [Bodo Moeller]
4639
4640 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4641 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4642 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4643
4644 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4645 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4646 when using non-blocking I/O.
4647 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4648
4649 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4650 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4651
4652 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4653 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4654 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4655
4656 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4657 configuration for the versions before that.
4658 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4659
4660 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4661 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4662 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4663 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4664 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4665
4666 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4667 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4668 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4669 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4670
4671 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4672 value is 0.
4673 [Richard Levitte]
4674
4675 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4676 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4677 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4678
4679 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4680 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4681
4682 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4683 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4684 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4685 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4686 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4687 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4688 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4689 session cache.
4690
4691 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4692 using a local variable.
4693 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4694
4695 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4696 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4697 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4698
4699 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4700 [Richard Levitte]
4701
4702 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4703 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4704
4705 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4706 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4707 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4708
4709 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4710
4711 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4712 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4713 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4714 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4715 [Bodo Moeller]
4716
4717 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4718 present.
4719 [Steve Henson]
4720
4721 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4722 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4723 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4724 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4725 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4726
4727 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4728 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4729 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4730
4731 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4732 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4733 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4734
4735 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4736 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4737 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4738 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4739
4740 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4741 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4742 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4743 modules).
4744 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4745
4746 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4747 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4748 from 0.9.7.
4749 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4750
4751 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4752 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4753 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4754 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4755
4756 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4757 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4758 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4759 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4760
4761 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4762 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4763
4764 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4765 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4766 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4767 [Bodo Moeller]
4768
4769 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4770 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4771 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4772 become invalid.
4773 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4774
4775 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4776 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4777 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4778 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4779 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4780 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4781 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4782 [Bodo Moeller]
4783
4784 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4785 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4786 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4787 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4788
4789 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4790 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4791 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4792 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4793 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4794 the client will at least see that alert.
4795 [Bodo Moeller]
4796
4797 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4798 correctly.
4799 [Bodo Moeller]
4800
4801 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4802 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4803 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4804
4805 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4806 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4807 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4808 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4809 HelloRequest.
4810
4811 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4812 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4813 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4814
4815 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4816 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4817 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4818 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4819 may leak via logfiles.)
4820
4821 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4822 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4823 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4824 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4825 the legal range.
4826 [Bodo Moeller]
4827
4828 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4829 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4830 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4831
4832 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4833 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4834 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4835 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4836 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4837 [Bodo Moeller]
4838
4839 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4840 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4841
4842 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4843 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4844 followed by modular reduction.
4845 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4846
4847 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4848 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4849 [Bodo Moeller]
4850
4851 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4852 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4853 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4854 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4855 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4856
4857 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4858 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4859
4860 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4861 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4862 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4863
4864 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4865 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4866 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4867 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4868 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4869 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4870 automatically.
4871 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4872
4873 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4874 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4875 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4876 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4877 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4878
4879 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4880 [Andy Polyakov]
4881
4882 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4883 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4884 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4885 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4886 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4887 to allow the necessary settings.
4888 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4889
4890 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4891 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4892 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4893 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4894 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4895
4896 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4897 dh->length and always used
4898
4899 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4900
4901 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4902 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4903 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4904 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4905 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4906 dh->length.
4907
4908 So switch back to
4909
4910 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4911
4912 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4913 otherwise.
4914 [Bodo Moeller]
4915
4916 *) In
4917
4918 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4919 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4920 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4921 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4922
4923 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4924 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4925 always reject numbers >= n.
4926 [Bodo Moeller]
4927
4928 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4929 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4930 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4931 variable) is not atomic.
4932 [Bodo Moeller]
4933
4934 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4935 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4936 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4937 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4938
4939 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4940 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4941
4942 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4943 little-endian MIPS.
4944 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4945
4946 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4947 [Richard Levitte]
4948
4949 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4950
4951 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4952 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4953 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4954 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4955 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4956 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4957 to traverse all of 'state'.
4958
4959 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4960 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4961 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4962
4963 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4964 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4965
4966 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4967 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4968 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4969 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4970 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4971 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4972 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4973 further strengthens the PRNG.
4974 [Bodo Moeller]
4975
4976 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4977 [Andy Polyakov]
4978
4979 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4980 an error message in this case.
4981 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4982
4983 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4984 [Steve Henson]
4985
4986 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4987 positive and less than q.
4988 [Bodo Moeller]
4989
4990 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4991 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4992 that itself.
4993 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4994
4995 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4996 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4997 [Bodo Moeller]
4998
4999 *) Fix OAEP check.
5000 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5001
5002 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5003 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5004 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5005 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5006 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5007 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5008 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5009 paper.)
5010
5011 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5012 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5013 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5014 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5015
5016 Both problems are now fixed.
5017 [Bodo Moeller]
5018
5019 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5020 (previously it was 1024).
5021 [Bodo Moeller]
5022
5023 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5024 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5025 [Steve Henson]
5026
5027 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5028 [Steve Henson]
5029
5030 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5031 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5032 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5033 [Steve Henson]
5034
5035 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5036 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5037 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5038 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5039 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5040 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5041 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5042 environment variables.
5043
5044 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5045 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5046 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5047 [Bodo Moeller]
5048
5049 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5050 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5051 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5052 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5053 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5054 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5055 [Bodo Moeller]
5056
5057 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5058 versions of 'test'.
5059 [Bodo Moeller]
5060
5061 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5062
5063 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5064 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5065
5066 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5067 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5068 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5069 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5070 CygWin.
5071 [Richard Levitte]
5072
5073 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5074 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5075 amount of data available.
5076 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5077 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5078
5079 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5080 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5081 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5082 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5083 [Bodo Moeller]
5084
5085 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5086 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5087 and UnixWare.
5088 [Richard Levitte]
5089
5090 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5091 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5092 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5093 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5094 [Ulf Moeller]
5095
5096 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5097 [Andy Polyakov]
5098
5099 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5100 [Richard Levitte]
5101
5102 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5103 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5104 [Steve Henson]
5105 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5106
5107 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5108 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5109 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5110 (but broken) behaviour.
5111 [Steve Henson]
5112
5113 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5114 it when found.
5115 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5116
5117 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5118 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5119 [Bodo Moeller]
5120
5121 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5122 did not exist.
5123 [Bodo Moeller]
5124
5125 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5126 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5127
5128 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5129 [Richard Levitte]
5130
5131 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5132 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5133 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5134
5135 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5136 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5137 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5138 [Steve Henson]
5139
5140 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5141 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5142 [Ulf Moeller]
5143
5144 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5145 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5146
5147 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5148
5149 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5150
5151 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5152 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5153 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5154 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5155 [Bodo Moeller]
5156
5157 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5158 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5159
5160 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5161 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5162 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5163
5164 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5165 was empty.
5166 [Steve Henson]
5167 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5168
5169 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5170 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5171 but the code is actually correct.
5172 [Steve Henson]
5173
5174 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5175 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5176 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5177 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5178 and leaves the highest bit random.
5179 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5180
5181 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5182 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5183 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5184 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5185 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5186 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5187 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5188 [Bodo Moeller]
5189
5190 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5191 [Ulf Moeller]
5192
5193 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5194 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5195 [Steve Henson]
5196
5197 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5198 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5199 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5200 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5201 headers.
5202 [Richard Levitte]
5203
5204 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5205 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5206 and break the signature.
5207 [Steve Henson]
5208 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5209
5210 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5211 DH ciphersuites.
5212 [Steve Henson]
5213
5214 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5215 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5216 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5217 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5218 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5219 [Bodo Moeller]
5220
5221 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5222 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5223
5224 *) ./config script fixes.
5225 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5226
5227 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5228 [Bodo Moeller]
5229
5230 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5231 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5232 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5233 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5234 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5235
5236 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5237 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5238 [Bodo Moeller]
5239
5240 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5241 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5242 [Steve Henson]
5243
5244 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5245 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5246 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5247 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5248
5249 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5250 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5251
5252 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5253 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5254 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5255 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5256 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5257
5258 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5259 [Bodo Moeller]
5260
5261 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5262 [Ulf Möller]
5263
5264 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5265 [Ulf Möller]
5266
5267 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5268 [Bodo Moeller]
5269
5270 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5271 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5272 [Bodo Moeller]
5273
5274 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5275 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5276 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5277 result of the server certificate verification.)
5278 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5279
5280 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5281 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5282 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5283 [Bodo Moeller]
5284
5285 *) Fix SSL_peek:
5286 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5287 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5288 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5289 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5290 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5291 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5292 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5293 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5294 [Bodo Moeller]
5295
5296 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5297 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5298 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5299 happening the other way round.
5300 [Geoff Thorpe]
5301
5302 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5303 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5304 [Bodo Moeller]
5305
5306 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5307 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5308 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5309 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5310 [Richard Levitte]
5311
5312 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5313 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5314
5315 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5316
5317 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5318 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5319 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5320 that.
5321
5322 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5323
5324 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5325
5326 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5327 static ones.
5328 [Richard Levitte]
5329
5330 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5331
5332 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5333 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5334 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5335 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5336 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5337
5338 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5339 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5340 matter what.
5341 [Richard Levitte]
5342
5343 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5344 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5345
5346 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5347
5348 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5349 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5350 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5351 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5352 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5353 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5354 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5355 by the Finished messages.
5356 [Bodo Moeller]
5357
5358 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5359 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5360
5361 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5362 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5363 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5364 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5365 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5366 appropriately.
5367 [Steve Henson]
5368
5369 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5370 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5371 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5372 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5373 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5374 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5375 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5376 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5377 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5378 together.
5379 [Steve Henson]
5380
5381 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5382 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5383 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5384 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5385
5386 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5387 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5388 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5389 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5390 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5391 the answer.
5392
5393 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5394 been tested well enough.
5395 [Richard Levitte]
5396
5397 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5398 it can return incorrect results.
5399 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5400 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5401 [Bodo Moeller]
5402
5403 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5404 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5405 include zero length content when signing messages.
5406 [Steve Henson]
5407
5408 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5409 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5410 [Bodo Möller]
5411
5412 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5413 [Richard Levitte]
5414
5415 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5416 wrong sign.
5417 [Ulf Möller]
5418
5419 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5420 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5421 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5422 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5423 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5424 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5425 [Richard Levitte]
5426
5427 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5428 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5429
5430 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5431 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5432
5433 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5434 random number < q in the DSA library.
5435 [Ulf Möller]
5436
5437 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5438 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5439 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5440 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5441 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5442 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5443 just makes things more complicated.)
5444 [Bodo Moeller]
5445
5446 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5447 from EGD.
5448 [Ben Laurie]
5449
5450 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5451 work better on such systems.
5452 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5453
5454 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5455 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5456 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5457 [Steve Henson]
5458
5459 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5460 if there was more than one signature.
5461 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5462
5463 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5464 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5465 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5466 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5467 [Richard Levitte]
5468
5469 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5470 rather than always using the current time.
5471 [Steve Henson]
5472
5473 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5474 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5475 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5476 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5477 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5478 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5479
5480 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5481 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5482
5483 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5484
5485 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5486 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5487 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5488 the same hash value.
5489
5490 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5491 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5492 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5493 with X509_STORE internally.
5494
5495 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5496 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5497
5498 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5499 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5500 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5501 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5502 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5503 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5504 entirely (maybe later...).
5505
5506 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5507
5508 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5509 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5510 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5511 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5512 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5513 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5514 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5515 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5516
5517 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5518 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5519
5520 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5521 to customise the verify behaviour.
5522 [Steve Henson]
5523
5524 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5525 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5526 [Steve Henson]
5527
5528 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5529 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5530 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5531 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5532 request is improperly encoded.
5533 [Steve Henson]
5534
5535 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5536 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5537 BIO_write(b, ...).
5538
5539 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5540 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5541
5542 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5543 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5544 words set to zero.)
5545 [Bodo Moeller]
5546
5547 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5548 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5549 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5550 [Bodo Moeller]
5551
5552 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5553 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5554 BIO/fp routines also added.
5555 [Steve Henson]
5556
5557 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5558 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5559
5560 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5561 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5562 demos/state_machine.
5563 [Ben Laurie]
5564
5565 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5566 generation and verification.
5567 [Steve Henson]
5568
5569 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5570 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5571 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5572 encode and decode it manually.
5573 [Steve Henson]
5574
5575 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5576 compile under VC++.
5577 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5578
5579 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5580 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5581 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5582 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5583
5584 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5585 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5586 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5587 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5588 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5589 [Steve Henson]
5590
5591 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5592 [Richard Levitte]
5593
5594 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5595 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5596 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5597
5598 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5599 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5600 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5601 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5602 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5603 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5604 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5605 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5606
5607 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5608 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5609
5610 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5611
5612 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5613 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5614 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5615
5616 [Richard Levitte]
5617
5618 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5619 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5620 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5621 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5622 [Richard Levitte]
5623
5624 *) MD4 implemented.
5625 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5626
5627 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5628 [Richard Levitte]
5629
5630 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5631 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5632 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5633 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5634 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5635 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5636 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5637 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5638 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5639 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5640 short or long names are found.
5641 [Steve Henson]
5642
5643 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5644 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5645
5646 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5647 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5648 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5649 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5650
5651 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5652 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5653 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5654 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5655 [Bodo Moeller]
5656
5657 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5658 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5659 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5660 [Richard Levitte]
5661
5662 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5663 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5664 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5665 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5666 to allow the various flags to be set.
5667 [Steve Henson]
5668
5669 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5670 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5671 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5672 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5673 dates to be checked.
5674 [Steve Henson]
5675
5676 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5677 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5678 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5679 [Steve Henson]
5680
5681 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5682 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5683 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5684 [Steve Henson]
5685
5686 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5687 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5688 [Bodo Moeller]
5689
5690 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5691 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5692 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5693 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5694 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5695 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5696 [Richard Levitte]
5697
5698 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5699 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5700 Random Numbers.
5701 [Ulf Möller]
5702
5703 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5704 DSA key.
5705 [Steve Henson]
5706
5707 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5708 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5709 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5710 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5711 form signing output easier to verify.
5712 [Steve Henson]
5713
5714 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5715 [Steve Henson]
5716
5717 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5718 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5719 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5720 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5721 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5722 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5723 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5724 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5725 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5726 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5727 [Steve Henson]
5728
5729 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5730
5731 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5732 the syntax given in objects.README.
5733 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5734 obj_mac.h.
5735 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5736 obj_mac.h.
5737
5738 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5739 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5740 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5741 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5742 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5743 consistent name changes.
5744 [Richard Levitte]
5745
5746 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5747 [Bodo Moeller]
5748
5749 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5750 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5751 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5752 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5753 [Richard Levitte]
5754
5755 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5756 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5757 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5758 of safestack.h .
5759 [Steve Henson]
5760
5761 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5762 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5763 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5764 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5765 [Steve Henson]
5766
5767 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5768 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5769 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5770 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5771 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5772 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5773 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5774 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5775 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5776 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5777 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5778 [Steve Henson]
5779
5780 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5781 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5782 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5783 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5784 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5785 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5786 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5787 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5788 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5789 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5790 [Steve Henson]
5791
5792 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5793 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5794 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5795 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5796
5797 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5798 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5799 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5800 omit any duplicate addresses.
5801 [Steve Henson]
5802
5803 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5804 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5805 [Bodo Moeller]
5806
5807 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5808 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5809 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5810 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5811 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5812 [Bodo Moeller]
5813
5814 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5815 software:
5816 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5817 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5818 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5819 Free => OPENSSL_free
5820 [Richard Levitte]
5821
5822 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5823 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5824 [Bodo Moeller]
5825
5826 *) CygWin32 support.
5827 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5828
5829 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5830 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5831 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5832 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5833 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5834 approach.
5835 [Geoff Thorpe]
5836
5837 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5838 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5839 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5840 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5841 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5842 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5843 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5844 [Geoff Thorpe]
5845
5846 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5847 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5848 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5849 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5850 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5851 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5852 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5853 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5854 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5855 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5856 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5857 [Bodo Moeller]
5858
5859 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5860 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5861 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5862 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5863 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5864
5865 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5866 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5867 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5868 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5869 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5870
5871 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5872 ciphers.
5873
5874 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5875 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5876 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5877 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5878
5879 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5880
5881 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5882 of macros.
5883
5884 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5885 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5886 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5887 flags.
5888
5889 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5890 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5891 any installed hardware versions can.
5892 [Steve Henson]
5893
5894 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5895 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5896 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5897 number.
5898 [Bodo Moeller]
5899
5900 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5901 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5902 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5903 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5904 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5905
5906 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5907 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5908 [Steve Henson]
5909
5910 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5911 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5912 [Richard Levitte]
5913
5914 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5915 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5916 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5917 features.
5918 [Steve Henson]
5919
5920 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5921 [Ulf Möller]
5922
5923 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5924 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5925 but no ssl client purpose.
5926 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5927
5928 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5929 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5930 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5931 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5932 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5933 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5934 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5935 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5936 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5937 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5938 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5939 [Steve Henson]
5940
5941 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5942 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5943 be obtained from the error queue.
5944 [Bodo Moeller]
5945
5946 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5947 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5948 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5949 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5950 [Bodo Moeller]
5951
5952 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5953 [Ulf Möller]
5954
5955 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5956 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5957 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5958 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5959 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5960 [Geoff Thorpe]
5961
5962 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5963 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5964 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5965 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5966 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5967 [Geoff Thorpe]
5968
5969 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5970 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5971 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5972 may not be NULL.
5973 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5974
5975 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5976 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5977 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5978 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5979 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5980 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5981 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5982 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5983 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5984 or "the configuration storage API"...
5985
5986 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5987
5988 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5989 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5990
5991 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5992
5993 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5994
5995 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5996 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5997 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5998 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5999 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6000 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6001 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6002
6003 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6004 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6005 [Richard Levitte]
6006
6007 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6008 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6009 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6010 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6011 [Bodo Moeller]
6012
6013 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6014 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6015 them in a portable way.
6016 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6017
6018 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6019
6020 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6021
6022 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6023 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6024
6025 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6026 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6027 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6028 <attili@amaxo.com>]
6029
6030 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6031 was larger than the MD block size.
6032 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6033
6034 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6035 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6036 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6037 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6038 components.
6039 [Steve Henson]
6040
6041 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6042 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6043 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6044
6045 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6046 discouraged.
6047 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6048
6049 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6050 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6051 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6052 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6053 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6054 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6055
6056 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6057 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6058
6059 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6060 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6061 [Bodo Moeller]
6062
6063 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6064 [Bodo Moeller]
6065
6066 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6067 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6068 its own key.
6069 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6070 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6071 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6072 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6073 [Bodo Moeller]
6074
6075 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6076 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6077 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6078 does not suppress any output.
6079 [Richard Levitte]
6080
6081 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6082 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6083 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6084 with all the associated security issues.
6085
6086 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6087 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6088 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6089 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6090 use the value in the default purpose.
6091 [Steve Henson]
6092
6093 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6094 and fix a memory leak.
6095 [Steve Henson]
6096
6097 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6098 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6099 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6100 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6101 [Bodo Moeller]
6102
6103 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6104 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6105 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6106 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6107 [Bodo Moeller]
6108
6109 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6110 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6111 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6112 [Bodo Moeller]
6113
6114 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6115 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6116 [Bodo Moeller]
6117
6118 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6119 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6120 which was free.
6121 [Steve Henson]
6122
6123 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6124 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6125 [Bodo Moeller]
6126
6127 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6128 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6129 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6130 [Bodo Moeller]
6131
6132 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6133 number generation fails.
6134 [Bodo Moeller]
6135
6136 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6137 [Bodo Moeller]
6138
6139 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6140 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6141
6142 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6143 [Ulf Möller]
6144
6145 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6146 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6147
6148 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6149 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6150
6151 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6152
6153 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6154 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6155 [Steve Henson]
6156
6157 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6158 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6159
6160 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6161 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6162 [Ulf Möller]
6163
6164 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6165 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6166 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6167 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6168 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6169 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6170
6171 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6172 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6173 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6174 for example.
6175 [Steve Henson]
6176
6177 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6178 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6179 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6180 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6181 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6182 counter, some don't.)
6183 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6184 counters or duplicate objects.
6185 [Steve Henson]
6186
6187 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6188 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6189 [Steve Henson]
6190
6191 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6192 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6193 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6194
6195 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6196 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6197 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6198 or -rand.
6199 [Ulf Möller]
6200
6201 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6202 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6203 [Steve Henson]
6204
6205 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6206 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6207 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6208 cipher list.
6209 [Steve Henson]
6210
6211 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6212 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6213 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6214 [Steve Henson]
6215
6216 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6217 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6218 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6219 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6220 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6221 should work without changes.
6222 [Richard Levitte]
6223
6224 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6225 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6226 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6227 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6228 must be defined. E.g.,
6229 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6230 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6231 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6232 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6233
6234 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6235 record layer.
6236 [Bodo Moeller]
6237
6238 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6239 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6240 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6241 [Steve Henson]
6242
6243 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6244 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6245 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6246 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6247 [Steve Henson]
6248
6249 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6250 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6251 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6252 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6253 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6254 is prompted for as usual.
6255 [Steve Henson]
6256
6257 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6258 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6259 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6260 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6261
6262 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6263 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6264 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6265 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6266 [Steve Henson]
6267
6268 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6269 [Andy Polyakov]
6270
6271 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6272 of seed file.
6273 [Steve Henson]
6274
6275 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6276 [Bodo Moeller]
6277
6278 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6279 [Steve Henson]
6280
6281 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6282 bits.
6283 [Ulf Möller]
6284
6285 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6286 [Ulf Möller]
6287
6288 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6289 [Andy Polyakov]
6290
6291 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6292 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6293 [Ulf Möller]
6294
6295 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6296 options to produce them.
6297 [Steve Henson]
6298
6299 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6300 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6301 [Ulf Möller]
6302
6303 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6304 for p == 0.
6305 [Ulf Möller]
6306
6307 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6308 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6309 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6310 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6311 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6312 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6313 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6314 [Steve Henson]
6315
6316 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6317 [Steve Henson]
6318
6319 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6320 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6321 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6322 [Bodo Moeller]
6323
6324 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6325 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6326
6327 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6328 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6329 [Ulf Möller]
6330
6331 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6332 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6333 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6334 has already seen).
6335 [Bodo Moeller]
6336
6337 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6338 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6339
6340 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6341 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6342 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6343 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6344 generation becomes much faster.
6345
6346 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6347 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6348 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6349 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6350 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6351 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6352 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6353 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6354 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6355 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6356 [Bodo Moeller]
6357
6358 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6359 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6360 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6361 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6362 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6363 trial division stage.
6364 [Bodo Moeller]
6365
6366 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6367 as ASN1_TIME.
6368 [Steve Henson]
6369
6370 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6371 [Steve Henson]
6372
6373 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6374 [Ulf Möller]
6375
6376 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6377 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6378 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6379 the comments.
6380 [Ulf Möller]
6381
6382 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6383 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6384 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6385 [Bodo Moeller]
6386
6387 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6388 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6389 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6390 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6391
6392 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6393 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6394 [Steve Henson]
6395
6396 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6397 [Ulf Möller]
6398
6399 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6400 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6401 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6402 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6403 [Ulf Möller]
6404
6405 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6406 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6407 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6408 [Ulf Möller]
6409
6410 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6411 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6412 (instead of parameters) in future.
6413 [Steve Henson]
6414
6415 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6416 when a new cipher list is set.
6417 [Steve Henson]
6418
6419 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6420 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6421 wrong.
6422
6423 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6424 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6425 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6426
6427 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6428 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6429 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6430 an error is flagged.
6431
6432 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6433 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6434 the readability was also increased :-)
6435 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6436
6437 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6438 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6439 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6440 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6441 as the root CA.
6442 [Steve Henson]
6443
6444 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6445 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6446 [Steve Henson]
6447
6448 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6449 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6450 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6451 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6452 instead.
6453
6454 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6455 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6456 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6457 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6458 because they handle more complex structures.)
6459 [Steve Henson]
6460
6461 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6462 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6463 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6464 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6465
6466 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6467 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6468 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6469 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6470 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6471 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6472 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6473 [Ulf Möller]
6474
6475 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6476 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6477 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6478 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6479 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6480 [Bodo Moeller]
6481
6482 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6483 [Bodo Moeller]
6484
6485 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6486 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6487 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6488 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6489 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6490 to use this.
6491
6492 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6493 code.
6494 [Steve Henson]
6495
6496 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6497 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6498 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6499 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6500 [Steve Henson]
6501
6502 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6503 [Ulf Möller]
6504
6505 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6506 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6507 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6508 international characters are used.
6509
6510 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6511 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6512 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6513 in ASN1 order.
6514 [Steve Henson]
6515
6516 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6517 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6518 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6519 request.
6520
6521 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6522 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6523 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6524 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6525 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6526 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6527
6528 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6529 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6530 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6531 be handled by the string table functions.
6532
6533 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6534 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6535 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6536 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6537 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6538 types at all.
6539 [Steve Henson]
6540
6541 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6542 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6543 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6544 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6545 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6546
6547 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6548 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6549 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6550 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6551 [Bodo Moeller]
6552
6553 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6554 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6555 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6556 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6557 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6558 SHA1.
6559 [Andy Polyakov]
6560
6561 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6562 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6563 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6564 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6565 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6566 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6567 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6568 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6569
6570 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6571 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6572 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6573 [Steve Henson]
6574
6575 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6576 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6577 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6578 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6579 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6580 support to pkcs8 application.
6581 [Steve Henson]
6582
6583 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6584 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6585 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6586 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6587 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6588 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6589 [Bodo Moeller]
6590
6591 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6592 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6593 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6594 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6595 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6596 consistency.
6597 [Bodo Moeller]
6598
6599 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6600 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6601 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6602 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6603 example.
6604 [Steve Henson]
6605
6606 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6607 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6608 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6609 and any application specific purposes.
6610
6611 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6612 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6613 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6614 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6615 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6616 if the certificate is self signed.
6617 [Steve Henson]
6618
6619 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6620 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6621 [Steve Henson]
6622
6623 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6624 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6625 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6626 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6627 [Steve Henson]
6628
6629 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6630 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6631 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6632 Update documentation.
6633 [Steve Henson]
6634
6635 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6636 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6637 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6638 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6639 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6640 [Steve Henson]
6641
6642 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6643 for details.
6644 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6645
6646 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6647 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6648 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6649 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6650 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6651 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6652 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6653 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6654 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6655 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6656
6657 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6658
6659 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6660 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6661 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6662 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6663 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6664
6665 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6666 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6667 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6668 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6669 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6670 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6671 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6672 request additional information:
6673 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6674 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6675
6676 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6677 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6678 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6679 options.
6680
6681 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6682 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6683
6684 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6685 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6686 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6687
6688 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6689 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6690
6691 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6692 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6693 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6694 algorithm.
6695 [Steve Henson]
6696
6697 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6698 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6699 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6700
6701 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6702 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6703 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6704 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6705 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6706 included in OpenSSL.
6707 [Steve Henson]
6708
6709 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6710 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6711 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6712 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6713 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6714 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6715 [Bodo Moeller]
6716
6717 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6718 PKCS12 structure.
6719 [Steve Henson]
6720
6721 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6722 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6723 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6724 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6725 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6726 structure.
6727 [Steve Henson]
6728
6729 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6730 need initialising.
6731 [Steve Henson]
6732
6733 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6734 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6735 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6736 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6737 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6738 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6739 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6740 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6741 be maintained manually.
6742
6743 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6744 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6745 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6746 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6747 work because people forget to call this function]
6748 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6749 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6750 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6751 [Steve Henson]
6752
6753 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6754 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6755 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6756 should be discouraged from doing it.
6757 [Ben Laurie]
6758
6759 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6760 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6761 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6762 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6763 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6764 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6765 [Steve Henson]
6766
6767 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6768 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6769 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6770
6771 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6772 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6773 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6774
6775 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6776 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6777 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6778 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6779 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6780 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6781
6782 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6783 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6784 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6785
6786 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6787 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6788 and vice versa.
6789
6790 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6791 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6792 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6793 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6794 [Steve Henson]
6795
6796 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6797 [Steve Henson]
6798
6799 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6800 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6801 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6802 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6803 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6804 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6805 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6806 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6807 keys so we should be OK.
6808
6809 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6810 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6811 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6812 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6813 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6814 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6815 stay in the name of compatibility.
6816
6817 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6818 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6819 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6820
6821 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6822 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6823 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6824 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6825 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6826 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6827 supplied key).
6828 [Steve Henson]
6829
6830 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6831 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6832 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6833 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6834 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6835 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6836 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6837 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6838 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6839 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6840 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6841 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6842 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6843 [Steve Henson]
6844
6845 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6846 [Steve Henson]
6847
6848 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6849 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6850 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6851 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6852 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6853 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6854 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6855 openssl verify ss.pem
6856 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6857 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6858 is OK.
6859 [Steve Henson]
6860
6861 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6862 (and add it to external session representation).
6863 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6864 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6865 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6866 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6867 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6868 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6869 security holes.
6870 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6871
6872 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6873 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6874 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6875 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6876
6877 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6878 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6879 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6880 [Steve Henson]
6881
6882 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6883 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6884 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6885 code.
6886 [Steve Henson]
6887
6888 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6889 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6890 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6891
6892 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6893 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6894 certificate auxiliary information.
6895 [Steve Henson]
6896
6897 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6898 the 'enc' command.
6899 [Steve Henson]
6900
6901 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6902 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6903 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6904 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6905 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6906 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6907 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6908 [Richard Levitte]
6909
6910 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6911 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6912 [Steve Henson]
6913
6914 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6915 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6916 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6917 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6918 [Steve Henson]
6919
6920 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6921 [Steve Henson]
6922
6923 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6924 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6925 [Steve Henson]
6926
6927 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6928 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6929 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6930 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6931 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6932 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6933 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6934 using the new 'x509' options.
6935
6936 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6937 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6938 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6939 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6940 for all purposes.
6941 [Steve Henson]
6942
6943 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6944 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6945 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6946 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6947 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6948 [Mark Cox]
6949
6950 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6951 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6952 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6953 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6954 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6955 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6956 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6957 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6958 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6959 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6960 [Steve Henson]
6961
6962 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6963 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6964 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6965 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6966 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6967 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6968 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6969 [Steve Henson]
6970
6971 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6972 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6973 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6974 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6975 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6976 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6977 openssl.cnf for more info.
6978 [Steve Henson]
6979
6980 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6981 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6982 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6983 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6984 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6985 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6986 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6987 md should be large enough anyway.
6988 [Bodo Moeller]
6989
6990 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6991 for handling the random seed file.
6992
6993 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6994 ca,
6995 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6996 s_client,
6997 s_server,
6998 x509 (when signing).
6999 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7000 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7001 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7002
7003 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7004 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7005 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7006 that support '-rand'.
7007 [Bodo Moeller]
7008
7009 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7010 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7011 [Bodo Moeller]
7012
7013 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7014 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7015 [Bill Perry]
7016
7017 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7018 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7019 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7020 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7021 is suitable.
7022 [Steve Henson]
7023
7024 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7025 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7026 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7027 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7028 [Steve Henson]
7029
7030 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7031 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7032 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7033 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7034 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7035 print out all the purposes.
7036 [Steve Henson]
7037
7038 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7039 functions.
7040 [Steve Henson]
7041
7042 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7043 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7044 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7045 single function call.
7046 [Steve Henson]
7047
7048 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7049 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7050 [Andy Polyakov]
7051
7052 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7053 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7054 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7055 [Steve Henson]
7056
7057 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7058 when producing the local key id.
7059 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7060
7061 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7062 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7063 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7064 "server.pem".
7065 [Steve Henson]
7066
7067 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7068 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7069 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7070 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7071 [Steve Henson]
7072
7073 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7074 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7075 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7076 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7077
7078 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7079 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7080 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7081 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7082
7083 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7084 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7085 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7086 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7087 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7088 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7089 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7090 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7091 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7092 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7093 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7094 trivial: move one line.
7095 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7096
7097 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7098 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7099 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7100 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7101 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7102 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7103 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7104 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7105 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7106 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7107 with an event loop for example.
7108 [Steve Henson]
7109
7110 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7111 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7112 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7113 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7114 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7115 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7116 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7117 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7118 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7119 [Steve Henson]
7120
7121 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7122 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7123 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7124 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7125 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7126 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7127 [Steve Henson]
7128
7129 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7130 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7131 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7132 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7133
7134 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7135 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7136 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7137 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7138 key generation.
7139 [Steve Henson]
7140
7141 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7142 (still largely untested)
7143 [Bodo Moeller]
7144
7145 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7146 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7147 [Steve Henson]
7148
7149 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7150 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7151 [Steve Henson]
7152
7153 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7154 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7155 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7156 [Bodo Moeller]
7157
7158 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7159 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7160 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7161 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7162 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7163 [Steve Henson]
7164
7165 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7166 [Andy Polyakov]
7167
7168 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7169 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7170 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7171 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7172 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7173 in ca.
7174 [Steve Henson]
7175
7176 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7177 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7178 1.OU="Unit name 1"
7179 2.OU="Unit name 2"
7180 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7181 [Steve Henson]
7182
7183 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7184 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7185 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7186 are otherwise ignored at present.
7187 [Steve Henson]
7188
7189 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7190 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7191 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7192 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7193 copied until the next read.
7194 [Steve Henson]
7195
7196 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7197 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7198 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7199 [Steve Henson]
7200
7201 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7202 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7203 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7204 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7205 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7206 associated functions.
7207 [Steve Henson]
7208
7209 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7210 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7211 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7212 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7213 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7214 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7215 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7216 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7217 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7218 memory BIOs.
7219 [Steve Henson]
7220
7221 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7222 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7223 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7224 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7225 [Bodo Moeller]
7226
7227 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7228 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7229 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7230 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7231 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7232 functionality.
7233 [Steve Henson]
7234
7235 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7236 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7237 under Win32.
7238 [Steve Henson]
7239
7240 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7241 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7242 extensions to be obtained and added.
7243 [Steve Henson]
7244
7245 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7246 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7247 [Bodo Moeller]
7248
7249 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7250
7251 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7252 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7253
7254 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7255 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7256
7257 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7258 program.
7259 [Steve Henson]
7260
7261 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7262 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7263 DH parameters contain its length).
7264
7265 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7266 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7267 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7268 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7269 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7270 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7271 utter importance to use
7272 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7273 or
7274 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7275 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7276 attacks may become possible!
7277 [Bodo Moeller]
7278
7279 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7280 [Bodo Moeller]
7281
7282 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7283 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7284 [Steve Henson]
7285
7286 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7287 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7288 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7289 or long name.
7290 [Steve Henson]
7291
7292 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7293 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7294 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7295 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7296 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7297 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7298 private key operations.
7299 [Steve Henson]
7300
7301 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7302 [Andy Polyakov]
7303
7304 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7305 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7306 to
7307 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7308 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7309 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7310 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7311 the password callback is called.
7312 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7313
7314 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7315
7316 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7317 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7318 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7319 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7320 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7321 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7322 this will work.
7323
7324 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7325 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7326 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7327 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7328 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7329 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7330 [Bodo Moeller]
7331
7332 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7333 [Andy Polyakov]
7334
7335 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7336 delete an unused file.
7337 [Ulf Möller]
7338
7339 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7340 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7341 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7342 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7343 [Steve Henson]
7344
7345 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7346 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7347 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7348 of an error.
7349 [Bodo Moeller]
7350
7351 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7352 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7353 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7354
7355 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7356 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7357 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7358 comparison" warnings.
7359 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7360 [Steve Henson]
7361
7362 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7363 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7364 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7365 [Steve Henson]
7366
7367 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7368 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7369
7370 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7371 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7372
7373 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7374 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7375 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7376
7377 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7378 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7379 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7380 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7381 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7382 this bug.
7383 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7384
7385 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7386 The interface is as follows:
7387 Applications can use
7388 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7389 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7390 "off" is now the default.
7391 The library internally uses
7392 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7393 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7394 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7395
7396 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7397 even the default) are now avoided.
7398
7399 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7400 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7401 than just having a counter.
7402
7403 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7404
7405 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7406 extensions.
7407 [Bodo Moeller]
7408
7409 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7410 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7411 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7412 Initial "mode" flags are:
7413
7414 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7415 a single record has been written.
7416 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7417 retries use the same buffer location.
7418 (But all of the contents must be
7419 copied!)
7420 [Bodo Moeller]
7421
7422 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7423 worked.
7424
7425 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7426 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7427
7428 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7429 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7430 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7431 [Steve Henson]
7432
7433 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7434 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7435 test programs.
7436 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7437
7438 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7439 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7440 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7441 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7442 point to the end.
7443 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7444 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7445
7446 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7447 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7448 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7449 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7450 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7451 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7452 [Steve Henson]
7453
7454 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7455 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7456 necessary function names.
7457 [Steve Henson]
7458
7459 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7460 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7461 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7462 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7463 [Bodo Moeller]
7464
7465 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7466 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7467 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7468 [Steve Henson]
7469
7470 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7471 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7472 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7473 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7474 such programs?)
7475 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7476 need locks.
7477 [Bodo Moeller]
7478
7479 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7480 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7481 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7482 [Bodo Moeller]
7483
7484 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7485 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7486 appropriate.
7487 [Bodo Moeller]
7488
7489 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7490 for the encoded length.
7491 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7492
7493 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7494 [Steve Henson]
7495
7496 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7497 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7498 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7499 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7500 [Steve Henson]
7501
7502 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7503 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7504 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7505
7506 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7507 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7508 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7509 unusual formatting.
7510 [Steve Henson]
7511
7512 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7513 to use the new extension code.
7514 [Steve Henson]
7515
7516 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7517 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7518 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7519 constant.
7520 [Steve Henson]
7521
7522 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7523 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7524 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7525 [Bodo Moeller]
7526
7527 #if 0
7528 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7529 [Ben Laurie]
7530 #else
7531 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7532 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7533 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7534 #endif
7535
7536 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7537 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7538 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7539 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7540 [Ben Laurie]
7541
7542 *) DES library cleanups.
7543 [Ulf Möller]
7544
7545 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7546 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7547 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7548 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7549 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7550 of v2.0.
7551 [Steve Henson]
7552
7553 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7554 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7555 [Bodo Moeller]
7556
7557 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7558 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7559 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7560 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7561 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7562 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7563 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7564 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7565 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7566 [Steve Henson]
7567
7568 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7569 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7570 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7571 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7572 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7573 value doesn't matter.
7574 [Steve Henson]
7575
7576 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7577 support mutable.
7578 [Ben Laurie]
7579
7580 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7581 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7582 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7583 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7584
7585 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7586 [Ulf Möller]
7587
7588 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7589 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7590 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7591
7592 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7593 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7594
7595 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7596 [Ben Laurie]
7597
7598 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7599 [Ben Laurie]
7600
7601 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7602 [Ben Laurie]
7603
7604 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7605 [Bodo Moeller]
7606
7607
7608 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7609
7610 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7611
7612 *) Updated some demos.
7613 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7614
7615 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7616 [Wu Zhigang]
7617
7618 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7619 [Steve Henson]
7620
7621 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7622 [Steve Henson]
7623
7624 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7625 instead of using a fixed path.
7626 [Bodo Moeller]
7627
7628 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7629 [Andy Polyakov]
7630
7631 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7632 [Richard Levitte]
7633
7634
7635 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7636
7637 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7638 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7639 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7640
7641 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7642 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7643 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7644 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7645 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7646 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7647 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7648 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7649 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7650 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7651 [Steve Henson]
7652
7653 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7654 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7655 [Steve Henson]
7656
7657 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7658 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7659 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7660 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7661 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7662
7663 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7664 [Bodo Moeller]
7665
7666 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7667 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7668 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7669 [Steve Henson]
7670
7671 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7672 [Ben Laurie]
7673
7674 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7675 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7676 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7677 key elements as negative integers.
7678 [Steve Henson]
7679
7680 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7681 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7682
7683 *) VMS support.
7684 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7685
7686 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7687 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7688 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7689 [Steve Henson]
7690
7691 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7692 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7693 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7694 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7695 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7696 [Bodo Moeller]
7697
7698 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7699 [Ulf Möller]
7700
7701 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7702 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7703 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7704 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7705
7706 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7707 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7708 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7709
7710 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7711 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7712 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7713 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7714 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7715 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7716 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7717 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7718 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7719
7720 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7721 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7722 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7723 does not influence s as it used to.
7724
7725 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7726 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7727 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7728 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7729 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7730 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7731 [Bodo Moeller]
7732
7733 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7734 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7735 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7736 key type.
7737 [Steve Henson]
7738
7739 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7740 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7741 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7742 and 'x509').
7743 [Steve Henson]
7744
7745 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7746 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7747 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7748 extension option.
7749 [Steve Henson]
7750
7751 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7752 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7753 [Ben Laurie]
7754
7755 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7756 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7757
7758 *) Support Mingw32.
7759 [Ulf Möller]
7760
7761 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7762 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7763
7764 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7765 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7766
7767 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7768 [Ulf Möller]
7769
7770 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7771 [Anonymous]
7772
7773 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7774 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7775
7776 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7777 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7778 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7779 DER-encoded.)
7780 [Bodo Moeller]
7781
7782 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7783 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7784 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7785 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7786 now it really counts the depth.
7787 [Bodo Moeller]
7788
7789 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7790 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7791 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7792 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7793 didn't match the private key).
7794
7795 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7796 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7797 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7798 [Bodo Moeller]
7799
7800 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7801 [Ulf Möller]
7802
7803 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7804 David Harris.
7805 [Bodo Moeller]
7806
7807 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7808 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7809 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7810 [Bodo Moeller]
7811
7812 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7813 [Bodo Moeller]
7814
7815 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7816 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7817 such as /usr/local/bin.
7818 [Bodo Moeller]
7819
7820 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7821 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7822
7823 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7824 [Ulf Möller]
7825
7826 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7827 extension adding in x509 utility.
7828 [Steve Henson]
7829
7830 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7831 [Ulf Möller]
7832
7833 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7834 prototypes.
7835 [Steve Henson]
7836
7837 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7838 [Ulf Möller]
7839
7840 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7841 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7842 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7843 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7844 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7845 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7846 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7847 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7848 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7849 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7850 [Steve Henson]
7851
7852 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7853 [Bodo Moeller]
7854
7855 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7856 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7857 [Bodo Moeller]
7858
7859 *) Fix some race conditions.
7860 [Bodo Moeller]
7861
7862 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7863 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7864 [Steve Henson]
7865
7866 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7867 [Ulf Möller]
7868
7869 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7870 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7871 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7872 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7873
7874 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7875 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7876
7877 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7878 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7879 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7880
7881 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7882 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7883
7884 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7885 [Ulf Möller]
7886
7887 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7888 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7889
7890 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7891 [Ulf Möller]
7892
7893 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7894 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7895
7896 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7897 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7898 [Steve Henson]
7899
7900 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7901 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7902 [Ben Laurie]
7903
7904 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7905 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7906 [Steve Henson]
7907
7908 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7909 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7910 [Steve Henson]
7911
7912 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7913 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7914 [Steve Henson]
7915
7916 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7917 support typesafe stack.
7918 [Steve Henson]
7919
7920 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7921 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7922
7923 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7924 old X509V3 handling code.
7925 [Steve Henson]
7926
7927 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7928 [Ulf Möller]
7929
7930 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7931 [Bodo Moeller]
7932
7933 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7934 [Ben Laurie]
7935
7936 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7937 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7938
7939 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7940 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7941 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7942 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7943 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7944 [Ben Laurie]
7945
7946 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7947 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7948 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7949 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7950 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7951
7952 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7953 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7954 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7955 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7956
7957 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7958 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7959 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7960 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7961
7962 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7963 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7964 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7965 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7966 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7967 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7968 [Bodo Moeller]
7969
7970 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7971 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7972 [Bodo Moeller]
7973
7974 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7975 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7976 [Ulf Möller]
7977
7978 *) Tweaks to Configure
7979 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7980
7981 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7982 yet...
7983 [Steve Henson]
7984
7985 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7986 [Ulf Möller]
7987
7988 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7989 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7990 [Ulf Möller]
7991
7992 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7993 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7994 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7995 [Bodo Moeller]
7996
7997 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7998 [Bodo Moeller]
7999
8000 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8001 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8002 [Steve Henson]
8003
8004 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8005 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8006 to library startup routines.
8007 [Steve Henson]
8008
8009 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8010 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8011 codes along the way.
8012 [Steve Henson]
8013
8014 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8015 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8016 objects to objects.h
8017 [Steve Henson]
8018
8019 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8020 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8021 [Steve Henson]
8022
8023 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8024 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8025
8026 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8027 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8028 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8029
8030 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8031 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8032 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8033
8034 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8035 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8036 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8037
8038
8039 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8040
8041 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8042 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8043 [Ben Laurie]
8044
8045 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8046 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8047 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8048 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8049 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8050
8051 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8052 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8053 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8054 document.
8055 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8056
8057 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8058 Malloc, Free.
8059 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8060
8061 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8062 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8063
8064 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8065 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8066 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8067 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8068
8069 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8070 [Ben Laurie]
8071
8072 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8073 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8074 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8075 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8076 [Steve Henson]
8077
8078 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8079 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8080 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8081 [Steve Henson]
8082
8083 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8084 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8085 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8086 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8087 installed as `perl').
8088 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8089
8090 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8091 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8092
8093 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8094 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8095 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8096 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8097 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8098 [Steve Henson]
8099
8100 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8101 [Ben Laurie]
8102
8103 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8104 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8105 is horrible: I feel ill....
8106 [Steve Henson]
8107
8108 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8109 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8110 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8111 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8112 [Steve Henson]
8113
8114 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8115 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8116
8117 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8118 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8119 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8120 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8121
8122 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8123 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8124 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8125 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8126 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8127 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8128 openssl_bio.xs.
8129 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8130
8131 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8132 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8133
8134 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8135 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8136
8137 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8138 [Ben Laurie]
8139
8140 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8141 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8142 in CRLs.
8143 [Steve Henson]
8144
8145 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8146 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8147 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8148 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8149 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8150 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8151 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8152 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8153 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8154 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8155 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8156
8157 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8158 [Ben Laurie]
8159
8160 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8161 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8162 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8163 for linking it into DSOs.
8164 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8165
8166 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8167 Fixed.
8168 [Ben Laurie]
8169
8170 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8171 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8172 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8173 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8174 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8175 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8176
8177 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8178 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8179 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8180 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8181 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8182 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8183 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8184
8185 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8186 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8187 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8188 encryption.
8189 [Ben Laurie]
8190
8191 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8192 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8193 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8194 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8195 [Steve Henson]
8196
8197 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8198 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8199 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8200 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8201 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8202 field as blank.
8203 [Steve Henson]
8204
8205 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8206 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8207 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8208 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8209 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8210
8211 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8212 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8213 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8214
8215 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8216 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8217
8218 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8219 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8220 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8221 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8222 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8223 [Steve Henson]
8224
8225 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8226 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8227 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8228 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8229 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8230 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8231 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8232 [Ben Laurie]
8233
8234 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8235 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
8236 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8237 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8238 [Ben Laurie]
8239
8240 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8241 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8242
8243 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8244 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8245 [Steve Henson]
8246
8247 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8248 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8249 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8250 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8251 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8252 (e.g. s_server).
8253 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8254 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8255 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8256 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8257 no way to reconfigure them.
8258 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8259 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8260 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8261 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8262 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8263 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8264
8265 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8266 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8267 recognized by the users.
8268 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8269
8270 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8271 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8272 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8273 already masked variable.
8274 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8275
8276 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8277 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8278
8279 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8280 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8281 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8282 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8283
8284 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8285 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8286 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8287
8288 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8289 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8290 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8291 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8292 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8293 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8294 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8295 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8296 now, too.
8297 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8298
8299 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8300 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8301 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8302
8303 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8304 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8305 config file.
8306 [Steve Henson]
8307
8308 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8309 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8310
8311 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8312 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8313 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8314 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8315 [Ben Laurie]
8316
8317 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8318 [Steve Henson]
8319
8320 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8321 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8322
8323 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8324 [Ben Laurie]
8325
8326 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8327 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8328 [Steve Henson]
8329
8330 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8331 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8332 [Steve Henson]
8333
8334 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8335 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8336 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8337 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8338 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8339 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8340 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8341 Ben Laurie]
8342
8343 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8344 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8345
8346 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8347 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8348 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8349 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8350 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8351
8352 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8353 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8354 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8355 [Steve Henson]
8356
8357 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8358 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8359 an example.
8360 [Steve Henson]
8361
8362 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8363 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8364 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8365
8366 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8367 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8368 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8369 build instructions.
8370 [Steve Henson]
8371
8372 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8373 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8374 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8375 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8376 [Steve Henson]
8377
8378 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8379 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8380 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8381 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8382 [Ben Laurie]
8383
8384 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8385 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8386 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8387 so it wasn't spotted.
8388 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8389
8390 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8391 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8392 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8393 vectors if you have them.
8394 [Ben Laurie]
8395
8396 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8397 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8398 [Ben Laurie]
8399
8400 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8401 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8402 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8403 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8404 If you do a:
8405 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8406 it will update them.
8407 [Steve Henson]
8408
8409 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8410 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8411 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8412 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8413 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8414 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8415 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8416 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8417
8418 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8419 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8420 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8421 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8422 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8423 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8424 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8425 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8426 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8427 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8428
8429 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8430 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8431 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8432 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8433 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8434 [Steve Henson]
8435
8436 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8437 INTEGER code.
8438 [Steve Henson]
8439
8440 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8441 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8442
8443 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8444 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8445
8446 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8447 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8448 [Ben Laurie]
8449
8450 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8451 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8452
8453 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8454 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8455
8456 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8457 [Steve Henson]
8458
8459 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8460 few typos.
8461 [Steve Henson]
8462
8463 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8464 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8465 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8466 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8467
8468 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8469 [Steve Henson]
8470
8471 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8472 [Steve Henson]
8473
8474 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8475 [Steve Henson]
8476
8477 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8478 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8479 [Steve Henson]
8480
8481 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8482 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8483 CA extensions.
8484 [Steve Henson]
8485
8486 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8487 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8488 [Steve Henson]
8489
8490 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8491 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8492 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8493 [Steve Henson]
8494
8495 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8496 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8497 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8498 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8499 properly to be processed.
8500 [Steve Henson]
8501
8502 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8503 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8504 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8505 [Ben Laurie]
8506
8507 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8508 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8509
8510 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8511 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8512 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8513 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8514 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8515 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8516 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8517 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8518 or delete all the .err files.
8519 [Steve Henson]
8520
8521 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8522 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8523 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8524 to regenerate it if needed.
8525 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8526 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8527
8528 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8529 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8530
8531 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8532 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8533 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8534 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8535 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8536 [Steve Henson]
8537
8538 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8539 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8540
8541 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8542 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8543
8544 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8545 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8546 error, but didn't set one).
8547 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8548
8549 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8550 [Ben Laurie]
8551
8552 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8553 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8554 [Steve Henson]
8555
8556 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8557 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8558
8559 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8560 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8561 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8562 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8563 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8564 OID is not part of the table.
8565 [Steve Henson]
8566
8567 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8568 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8569 [Ben Laurie]
8570
8571 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8572 [Ben Laurie]
8573
8574 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8575 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8576 was "1234").
8577 [Steve Henson]
8578
8579 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8580 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8581
8582 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8583 NULL pointers.
8584 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8585
8586 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8587 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8588
8589 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8590 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8591
8592 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8593 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8594
8595 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8596 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8597 [Ben Laurie]
8598
8599 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8600 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8601 [Steve Henson]
8602
8603 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8604 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8605
8606 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8607 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8608
8609 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8610 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8611
8612 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8613 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8614
8615 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8616 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8617 unused in the certificate verification process.
8618 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8619
8620 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8621 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8622 [Steve Henson]
8623
8624 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8625 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8626 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8627
8628 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8629 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8630 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8631 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8632 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8633
8634 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8635 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8636 [Steve Henson]
8637
8638 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8639 [Steve Henson]
8640
8641 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8642 [Paul Sutton]
8643
8644 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8645 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8646
8647 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8648 [Ben Laurie]
8649
8650 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8651 [Ben Laurie]
8652
8653 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8654 [Ben Laurie]
8655
8656 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8657 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8658 other error libraries.
8659 [Steve Henson]
8660
8661 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8662 [Steve Henson]
8663
8664 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8665 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8666 be read in.
8667 [Steve Henson]
8668
8669 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8670 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8671 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8672 the new set of documenation files.
8673 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8674
8675 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8676 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8677 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8678 number of arguments.
8679 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8680
8681 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8682 [Ben Laurie]
8683
8684 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8685 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8686 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8687
8688 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8689 [Ben Laurie]
8690
8691 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8692 nextstep
8693 ncr-scde
8694 unixware-2.0
8695 unixware-2.0-pentium
8696 sco5-cc.
8697 [Ben Laurie]
8698
8699 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8700 before they are needed.
8701 [Ben Laurie]
8702
8703 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8704 [Ben Laurie]
8705
8706
8707 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8708
8709 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8710 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8711 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8712
8713 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8714 [Paul Sutton]
8715
8716 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8717 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8718 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8719
8720 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8721 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8722 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8723
8724 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8725 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8726 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8727
8728 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8729 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8730
8731 *) Updated the README file.
8732 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8733
8734 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8735 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8736 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8737
8738 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8739 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8740 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8741
8742 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8743 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE

8756 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8757
8758 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8759 [Mark J. Cox]
8760
8761 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8762 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8763 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8764 summer 1998.

8842 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8843 [Eric A. Young]
8844
8845 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8846 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8847 [Eric A. Young]
8848
8849 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
