5 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
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.
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.
19 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
20 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
23 *) Not all of this is true any longer.
24 Will have to be updated to reflect all subsequent changes to cryptlib.c.
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;
33 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
34 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
36 but retrieval, copies, and comparisons of thread IDs are via
37 type-independent interfaces;
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);
45 Also, for code that needs a thread ID "value" for use in
46 hash-tables or logging, a "hash" is available by;
48 unsigned long CRYPTO_THREADID_hash(const CRYPTO_THREADID *id);
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
55 The following functions are deprecated;
56 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
57 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
59 As a consequence of the above, there are similar deprecations of
60 BN_BLINDING functions in favour of CRYPTO_THREADID-based
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);
67 void BN_BLINDING_set_thread(BN_BLINDING *);
68 int BN_BLINDING_cmp_thread(const BN_BLINDING *, const
71 Also, the ERR_remove_state(int pid) API has been deprecated;
73 #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
74 void ERR_remove_state(unsigned long pid)
76 void ERR_remove_thread_state(CRYPTO_THREADID *tid);
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.
88 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
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.
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>]
101 *) s390x assembler pack.
104 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
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
115 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
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.
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.
129 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
132 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
133 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
137 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
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.
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.
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.
166 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
169 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
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
176 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
177 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
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.
184 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
185 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
187 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
188 or server extensions to be examined.
190 This work was sponsored by Google.
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]
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
200 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
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.
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.
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
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
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).
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
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]
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
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.
268 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
269 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
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).
278 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
279 it yet and it is largely untested.
282 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
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.
290 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
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.
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.
306 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
307 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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().
337 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
341 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
342 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
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
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.
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.
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
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);
375 we now have additional functions
377 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
378 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
379 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
381 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
382 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
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]
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.
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.
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
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:
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
430 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
431 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
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.
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.
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.
448 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
449 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
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.
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.
463 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
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.
474 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
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
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.
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.
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.
507 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
508 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
512 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
515 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
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
527 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
529 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
531 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
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.
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.
544 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
545 key API, doesn't do much yet.
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.
553 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
554 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
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().
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
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
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.
580 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
581 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
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.
589 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
593 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
594 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
596 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
598 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
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]
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.
612 New functions (subject to change):
615 SSL_get_servername_type()
618 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
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()
626 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
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'
636 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
638 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
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.
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
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.
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.
665 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
666 in addition to the text details.
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.
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.
679 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
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.
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'.
692 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
693 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
697 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
700 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
703 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [xx XXX xxxx]
705 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
708 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
711 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
713 This work was sponsored by Logica.
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.
720 This work was sponsored by Logica.
723 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
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]
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)
734 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
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]
740 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
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.
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>]
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.
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
772 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
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]
779 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
780 uncompresses any data passed through it.
783 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
784 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
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
796 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
797 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.

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.
826 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
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]
835 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
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.
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>,
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
857 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
858 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
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.
865 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
866 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
868 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
869 or server extensions to be examined.
871 This work was sponsored by Google.
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.
882 New functions (subject to change):
885 SSL_get_servername_type()
888 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
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()
896 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
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'
906 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
908 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
911 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
914 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
915 (which previously caused an internal error).
918 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
921 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
922 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
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:
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"
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'.
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.
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.
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.
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.
973 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
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.
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.
991 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
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).
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.)
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.)
1015 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1016 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
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.
1023 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1024 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1027 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1029 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1030 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1031 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1033 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1034 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1036 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1037 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
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]
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.
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.
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.
1070 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1072 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1073 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1075 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
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]
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.
1092 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
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")
1098 The latter two were purportedly from
1099 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
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.
1107 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1108 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
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.
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'.
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.
1129 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
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.
1135 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1136 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
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).
1144 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1145 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
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
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.
1164 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1165 under VC++ build system.
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.
1172 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
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)
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)]
1184 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1187 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1188 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1191 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1192 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1194 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1197 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1198 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1200 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1201 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1204 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1205 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to

1211 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1214 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
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.
1221 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1224 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1225 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1227 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1228 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
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]
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.
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
1255 *) Add support for DTLS.
1256 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1258 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1259 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1262 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1263 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1266 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1267 the apps/openssl applications.
1270 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1271 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1272 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1275 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1276 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1278 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1279 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
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.)
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).
1293 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1294 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
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
1302 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1304 The blank line is mandatory.
1308 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1309 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1313 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1314 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
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.
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]
1326 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1329 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1330 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1332 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1333 implementation contributed by IBM.
1334 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
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]
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.
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.)
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.
1361 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
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).
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.
1380 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1383 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
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".
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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]
1424 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
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]
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).
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).
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.
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.
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
1483 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1484 structure of type "other".
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]
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)]
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)]
1507 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1508 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1510 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1511 control of the error stack.
1514 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
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.
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.
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
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.
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:
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
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
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.
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).
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.
1576 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1580 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1583 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1586 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
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.
1596 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1600 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1601 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
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.
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().
1615 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1616 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
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]
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
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
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".
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>
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.
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.
1673 Example for using the new callback interface:
1675 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1679 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
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.
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.
1696 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1697 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1699 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1700 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1701 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1702 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1704 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1705 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1707 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1708 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1712 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1713 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
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);
1721 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
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
1728 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1730 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
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
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]
1747 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1748 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1751 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1752 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
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.
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.
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.
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
1777 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1778 down to the template encoder.
1781 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1782 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
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)]
1790 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1791 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1793 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1794 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1796 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1797 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
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.)
1805 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1806 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1808 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1809 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
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/).
1815 EC_GF2m_simple_method
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
1826 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1827 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
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.)
1838 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1839 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1841 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1842 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1844 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1845 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
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.
1851 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1852 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
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.
1858 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1859 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1861 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1862 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1864 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1865 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
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]:
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]
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]
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.)
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]
1891 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1892 This applies to the following functions:
1897 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1898 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1900 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1901 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1905 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1910 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
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).
1918 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1919 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
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>]
1925 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1926 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
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>]
1934 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
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
1949 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
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>]
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>]
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>]
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]
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).
1986 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1987 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
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>]
1994 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1996 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1997 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
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>]
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
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
2018 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2019 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2020 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
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
2031 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
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.
2044 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2046 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2048 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
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.
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.
2060 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2063 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2064 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2067 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2068 run algorithm test programs.
2071 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
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.)
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.
2085 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2087 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2088 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2089 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2091 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2092 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2094 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2095 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
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]
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.
2110 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2112 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2113 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
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]
2120 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
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")
2126 The latter two were purportedly from
2127 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
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.
2135 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2136 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2139 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2141 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2142 module in FIPS mode.
2145 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
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.
2154 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
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.
2163 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
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)
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)]
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.
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
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.
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.
2199 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
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.)
2208 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
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).
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.
2222 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2224 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
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.
2235 *) Undo Cygwin change.
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.
2244 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
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).
2251 This change has negligible security impact because:
2253 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2256 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
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
2263 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2266 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2268 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
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]
2275 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2278 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2279 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
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]
2286 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
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
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:
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
2307 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
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().
2316 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2319 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2320 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
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.
2331 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
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]
2337 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2339 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
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.
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
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.
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
2370 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2371 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2373 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2376 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2378 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2380 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2381 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2383 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2385 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2386 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2390 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2391 exiting on the first error in a request.
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
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]
2404 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2405 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2408 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2409 blocks during encryption.
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
2419 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:

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
2427 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
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).
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]
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).
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.
2458 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2459 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2462 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
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)
2470 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2471 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2472 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
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.
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.
2485 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2486 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
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]
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.
2499 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2501 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2503 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
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
2512 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2513 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2515 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2516 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
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)
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.
2534 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2535 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
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>]
2543 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2545 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
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
2553 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2557 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2558 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
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
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).
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.
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.
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]
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]
2595 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2596 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2597 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2599 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2600 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2602 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2603 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2604 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2606 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2607 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2609 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2610 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2612 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2613 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2615 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2616 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2618 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2620 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2622 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2623 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2624 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2626 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2627 representations in a platform independent manner.
2628 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2630 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2631 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2632 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2634 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2636 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2638 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2639 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2641 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2643 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2645 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2646 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2647 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2649 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2651 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2653 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2654 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2656 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2657 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2659 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2660 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2662 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2663 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2665 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2667 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2669 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2670 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2672 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2673 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2675 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2676 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2678 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2680 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2681 the 0.9.6 release series:
2683 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2684 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2686 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2688 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2691 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2692 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
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>]
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>]
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.
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]
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
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
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.
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>]
2737 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2738 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2740 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2741 error in AES-CFB decryption.
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.
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.
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>)
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>)
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.
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
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).
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>]
2794 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2795 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
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.
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]
2810 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
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.
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
2822 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2823 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
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().
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]
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.
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]
2847 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2848 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
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
2855 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2857 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2858 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2860 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2861 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
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.
2868 *) Add new functions
2870 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2871 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2872 These are similar to
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]
2880 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2882 default_algorithms = ALL
2883 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2886 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2889 *) New experimental application configuration code.
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]
2897 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2898 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2900 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2901 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2903 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2904 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2907 *) New functions/macros
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)
2914 to request calling a callback function
2916 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2917 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
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().
2930 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2931 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
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.
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]
2944 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2945 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
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.
2952 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2953 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2956 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2957 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
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]
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
3004 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3005 to retain compatibility with existing code.
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.
3017 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3018 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
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.
3026 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3027 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
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
3051 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
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.
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.)
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.
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).
3079 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
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>.
3087 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3088 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
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.
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).
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).
3115 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3116 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3119 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3122 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3123 md_data void pointer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
3172 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3175 *) Add EVP test program.
3178 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
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.
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]
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).
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 */
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
3217 des_key_schedule ks;
3219 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3220 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3222 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
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.
3233 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3236 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3237 correct _ecb suffix.
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.
3247 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
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.
3255 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3256 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
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]
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).
3269 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3272 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

3287 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3288 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
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.
3298 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3299 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
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]
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
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.
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.
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>]
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
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.
3340 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3341 that are easily reachable.
3344 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3345 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3347 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
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.
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.
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.
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.
3371 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
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.
3380 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3382 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
3493 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3494 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3497 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3498 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
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.
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].
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
3521 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
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.
3527 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3528 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.

3534 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,

3537 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3538 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3540 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
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.
3547 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3548 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
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.
3558 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3559 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
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.
3567 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3568 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3572 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
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.
3578 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3580 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3581 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3582 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3584 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3585 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3587 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3590 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
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'
3599 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3601 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3602 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
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).
3611 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3612 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3614 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3615 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
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:
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)
3625 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3626 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3628 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3629 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
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).
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().
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
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
3661 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3662 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
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().
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.
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]
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
3730 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
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.
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.
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".
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.
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.)
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
3769 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3770 additional certificates supplied.
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
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
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]
3792 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3793 request to response.
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).
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.
3815 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3816 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
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.
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>]
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.
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>]
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
3884 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
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.
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
3897 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
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>]
3904 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3905 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
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.
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'.
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:
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
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]
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).
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
4047 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4048 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
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.
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.
4062 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4063 entries for variables.
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.
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.
4080 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4081 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
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.
4088 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
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.
4100 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
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.
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.
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.
4122 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4123 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4126 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
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.
4136 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4138 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4139 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4141 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4142 in sections depending on the subject.
4145 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
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]
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].)
4160 *) New function BN_kronecker.
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.
4170 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4171 sign of the number in question.
4173 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
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().
4182 *) New function BN_swap.
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.
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.
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:
4207 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4211 These functions always generate non-negative results.
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).
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]
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.
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
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.
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
4248 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4251 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4252 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
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
4262 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4265 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4268 *) Add the following functions:
4270 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4272 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4274 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
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.
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!).
4286 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4289 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4292 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4295 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4296 identity, and test if they are actually available.
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>]
4303 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4304 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4307 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4310 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4313 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4316 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4317 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4318 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
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.
4326 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
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
4333 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
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
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
4353 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
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
4363 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4366 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
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]
4372 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4374 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4376 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4377 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4380 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4382 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4384 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4385 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4387 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4388 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
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
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]
4402 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4403 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4406 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
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).
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]
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).
4431 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
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)
4439 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4440 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4441 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4443 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
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.
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>.)
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>]
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
4470 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4471 being properly terminated.
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]
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
4487 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
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).
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]
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]
4508 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4509 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4512 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
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>]
4518 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
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),
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]
4531 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
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
4537 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
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).
4544 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
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.
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
4560 *) Changes in security patch:
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
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>]
4573 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4575 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
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)>
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)]
4585 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4586 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4587 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4589 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
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]
4595 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4596 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
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.
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.
4612 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
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>]
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>).
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().)
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
4640 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4641 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
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]
4649 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4650 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4652 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4653 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
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]
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>.
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>.
4671 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
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]
4679 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4680 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
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
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]
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]
4699 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4702 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4703 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
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>]
4709 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
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.)
4717 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
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]
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>]
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>]
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]
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
4744 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4746 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4747 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4749 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
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]
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]
4761 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4762 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
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.
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
4773 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
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.
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]
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.
4797 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
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>]
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
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>]
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.)
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
4828 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4829 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
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.
4839 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4840 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
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>]
4847 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4848 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
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>.)
4857 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
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>).
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
4871 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
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>]
4879 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
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.
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.
4896 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4897 dh->length and always used
4899 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
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
4910 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4912 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4918 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4919 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4920 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4921 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4923 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4924 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4925 always reject numbers >= n.
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.
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>]
4939 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4940 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4942 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4944 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4946 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4949 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
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'.
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.
4963 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4964 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
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.
4976 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4979 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4980 an error message in this case.
4983 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4986 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4987 positive and less than q.
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
4993 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4995 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4996 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5000 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
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
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.
5016 Both problems are now fixed.
5019 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5020 (previously it was 1024).
5023 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5024 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5027 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
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.
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.
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.
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).
5057 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5061 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5063 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5064 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
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
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.]
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).
5085 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5086 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
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).
5096 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5099 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5102 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5103 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5105 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
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.
5113 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5115 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
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.
5121 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5125 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5126 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5128 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
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>]
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.
5140 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5141 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5144 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5145 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5147 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5149 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
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).
5157 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5160 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5161 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5162 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5164 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5167 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
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.
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]
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.
5190 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5193 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5194 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
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
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.
5208 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5210 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
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.
5221 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5222 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5224 *) ./config script fixes.
5225 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5227 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
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>]
5236 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5237 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5240 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5241 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
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>]
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}.
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>]
5258 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5261 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5264 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5267 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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().
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.
5312 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5313 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5315 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
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
5322 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5324 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5326 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5330 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
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>]
5338 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5339 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5343 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5346 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
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.
5358 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5359 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
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
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
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.
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
5393 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5394 been tested well enough.
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].)
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.
5408 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5409 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5412 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5415 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
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>.
5427 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5428 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5430 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5431 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5433 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5434 random number < q in the DSA library.
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.)
5446 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
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>]
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.
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>]
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.
5469 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5470 rather than always using the current time.
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.
5480 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5481 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5483 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
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.
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.
5495 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5496 exact match, rather than just subject name.
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...).
5506 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
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().
5517 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5518 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5520 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5521 to customise the verify behaviour.
5524 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5525 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
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.
5535 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5536 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5539 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5540 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
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
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.).
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.
5557 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5558 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5560 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5561 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5562 demos/state_machine.
5565 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5566 generation and verification.
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.
5575 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5577 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
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>]
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.
5591 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
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:
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
5607 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5608 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5610 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
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
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.
5625 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5627 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
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.
5643 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5644 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
5686 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5687 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
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.
5698 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5699 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5703 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
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.
5714 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
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.
5729 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
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
5735 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
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.
5746 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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>]
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.
5803 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5804 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
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").
5814 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5816 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5817 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5818 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5819 Free => OPENSSL_free
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).
5826 *) CygWin32 support.
5827 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
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
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.
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.)
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]
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.
5871 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
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.
5879 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5881 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
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
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.
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
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]
5906 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5907 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5910 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5911 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
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
5920 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
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>]
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.
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.
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).
5952 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
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.
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.
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'
5973 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
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"...
5986 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5988 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5989 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5991 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5993 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
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 *'.
6003 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6004 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
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.)
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]
6018 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6020 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6022 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6023 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
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
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>]
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
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>]
6045 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6047 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
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.
6056 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6057 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6059 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6060 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6063 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
6093 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6094 and fix a memory leak.
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.
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.
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.)
6114 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6115 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
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
6123 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6124 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
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.
6132 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6133 number generation fails.
6136 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6139 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6140 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6142 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6145 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6146 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6148 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6149 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6151 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6153 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6154 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
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>]
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.
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>]
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)
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.
6187 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6188 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
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>]
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
6201 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6202 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
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
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.
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.
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]
6234 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
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.
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.
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.
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.]
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.
6268 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6271 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6275 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6278 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6281 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6285 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6288 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
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).
6295 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6296 options to produce them.
6299 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6300 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6303 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
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.
6316 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
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).
6324 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6325 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6327 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6328 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
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
6337 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6338 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
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.
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).
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.
6366 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6370 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6373 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
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
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.
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]
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.
6396 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
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.
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".)
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.
6415 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6416 when a new cipher list is set.
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
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).
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.
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>]
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
6444 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6445 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
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
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.)
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]
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).
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.
6482 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
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
6492 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
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.
6502 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.)
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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
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
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.
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.
6619 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6620 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
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.
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.
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.
6642 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6644 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
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.
6657 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
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]
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.
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
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:
6685 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6688 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6689 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
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
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]
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.
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.
6717 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
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
6729 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
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.
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().
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
6796 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
6845 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
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
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
6870 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
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]
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.
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
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>]
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.
6897 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
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.
6910 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6911 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
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.
6920 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6923 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6924 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
6990 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6991 for handling the random seed file.
6993 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6995 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
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.
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'.
7009 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7010 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7013 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7014 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
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
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".
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.
7038 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
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.
7048 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7049 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
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).
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>]
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
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.
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>]
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>]
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) ]
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.
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().
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.
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]
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
7141 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7142 (still largely untested)
7145 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7146 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7149 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7150 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
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.
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.
7165 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
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
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:
7180 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
7245 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7246 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7249 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7251 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7252 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7254 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7255 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7257 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
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).
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);
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!
7279 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
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.
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
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.
7301 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7304 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7305 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
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]
7314 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
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
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).
7332 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7335 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7336 delete an unused file.
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.
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
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]
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.
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.
7367 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7368 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7370 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7371 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
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.
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
7383 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
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.
7396 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7397 even the default) are now avoided.
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.
7403 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7405 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
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:
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
7422 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7425 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7426 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
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.
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
7436 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
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
7443 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7444 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
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).
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.
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.
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.
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
7475 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
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).
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
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>]
7493 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
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.
7502 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7503 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7504 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
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
7512 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7513 to use the new extension code.
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
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>.
7528 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
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.
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.
7542 *) DES library cleanups.
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
7553 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7554 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
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.
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.
7576 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
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>]
7585 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
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>]
7592 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7593 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7595 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7598 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7601 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7604 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7608 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7610 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7612 *) Updated some demos.
7613 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7615 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7618 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7621 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7624 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7625 instead of using a fixed path.
7628 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7631 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7635 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
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>]
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.
7653 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7654 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
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.
7663 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
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.
7671 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
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.
7680 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7681 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7684 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
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.
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).
7698 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
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]
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]
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.
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.
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.
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
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'
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'
7751 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7752 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7755 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7756 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7761 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7762 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7764 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7765 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7767 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7770 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7773 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7774 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
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
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.
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).
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).
7800 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7803 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
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.
7812 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7815 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7816 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7817 such as /usr/local/bin.
7820 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7821 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7823 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7826 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7827 extension adding in x509 utility.
7830 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7833 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7837 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
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...).
7852 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
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.
7859 *) Fix some race conditions.
7862 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7863 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7866 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
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>]
7874 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7875 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
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>]
7881 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7882 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7884 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7887 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7888 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7890 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7893 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7894 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7896 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7897 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
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.
7904 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7905 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7908 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7909 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7912 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7913 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7916 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7917 support typesafe stack.
7920 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7921 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7923 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7924 old X509V3 handling code.
7927 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7930 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7933 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7936 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7937 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
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.
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]
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]
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]
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.
7970 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7971 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7974 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7975 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7978 *) Tweaks to Configure
7979 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7981 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7985 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
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.
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.
7997 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8000 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8001 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
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.
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.
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
8019 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8020 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8023 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8024 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
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]
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>]
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>]
8039 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8041 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8042 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
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 ???)]
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
8055 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8057 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8059 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8061 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8062 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
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>]
8069 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
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".
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.
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>]
8090 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8091 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
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.
8100 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
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....
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.
8114 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8115 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
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]
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
8129 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8131 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8132 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8134 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8135 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8137 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8140 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8141 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
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]
8157 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
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]
8166 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
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]
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]
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
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.
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
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]
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>]
8215 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8216 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
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.
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.
8234 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8236 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8237 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8240 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8241 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
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.
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
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]
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]
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>]
8276 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8277 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
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>]
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]
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
8297 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
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>]
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
8308 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8309 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
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.
8317 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8320 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8321 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8323 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8326 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8327 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8330 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8331 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
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
8343 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8344 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
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)]
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
8357 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8358 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
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>]
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
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.
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.
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>]
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.
8396 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8397 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
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.
8405 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8406 it will update them.
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]
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]
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.
8436 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
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)]
8443 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8444 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
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.
8450 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8451 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8453 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8454 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8456 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8459 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
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)]
8468 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8471 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8474 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8477 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8478 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
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
8486 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8487 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
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.
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.
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".
8507 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8508 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
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.
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>]
8528 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8529 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
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.
8538 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8539 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8541 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8542 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
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>]
8549 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
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.
8556 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8557 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
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.
8567 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8568 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8571 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
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
8579 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8580 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8582 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8584 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8586 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8587 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8589 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8590 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8592 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8593 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8595 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8596 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
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().
8603 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8604 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8606 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8607 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8609 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8610 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8612 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8613 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
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]
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.
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]
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]
8634 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8635 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8638 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8641 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8644 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8645 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8647 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8650 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8653 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
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.
8661 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8664 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8665 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
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]
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>]
8681 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
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>]
8688 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8691 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8695 unixware-2.0-pentium
8699 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8700 before they are needed.
8703 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8707 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8709 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8710 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8711 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8713 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
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]
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]
8724 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8725 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8726 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8728 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8729 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8731 *) Updated the README file.
8732 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8734 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8735 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8736 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8738 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8739 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8740 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8742 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8743 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8744 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8745 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8746 o removed obsolete TODO file
8747 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8748 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8750 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8751 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8752 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8753 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8754 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8755 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8756 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8758 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
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
8765 [The OpenSSL Project]
8768 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8770 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8773 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8776 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8777 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8780 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8781 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8785 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8787 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8789 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8792 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8795 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8798 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8801 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8804 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8807 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8810 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8813 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8816 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8819 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8822 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8825 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8828 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8831 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8834 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8837 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8840 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8841 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8842 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8845 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8846 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8849 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8852 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8855 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8856 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8859 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8862 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8865 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8866 bytes sent in the client random.
