4
5 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.1m [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
8 [Kurt Roeckx]
9
10 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
11
12 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
13 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
14
15 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
16
17 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
18 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
19 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
20 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
21 (CVE-2014-3571)
22 [Steve Henson]
23
24 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
25 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
26 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
27 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
28 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
29 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
30 (CVE-2015-0206)
31 [Matt Caswell]
32
33 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
34 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
35 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
36 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
37 (CVE-2014-3569)
38 [Kurt Roeckx]
39
40 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
41 ECDH ciphersuites.
42
43 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
44 reporting this issue.
45 (CVE-2014-3572)
46 [Steve Henson]
47
48 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
49 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
50 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
51 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
52 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
53 INRIA or reporting this issue.
54 (CVE-2015-0204)
55 [Steve Henson]
56
57 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
58 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
59 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
60 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
61 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
62 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
63 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
64 this issue.
65 (CVE-2015-0205)
66 [Steve Henson]
67
68 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
69 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
70
71 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
72 and can vary with the CTX.
73 [Adam Langley]
74
75 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
76
77 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
78 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
79 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
80 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
81 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
82
83 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
84
85 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
86 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
87
88 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
89
90 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
91 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
92 errors for some broken certificates.
93
94 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
95
96 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
97
98 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
99 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
100
101 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
102 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
103 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
104 (negative or with leading zeroes).
105
106 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
107 of the OpenSSL core team.
108
109 (CVE-2014-8275)
110 [Steve Henson]
111
112 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
113 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
114 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
115 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
116 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
117 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
118 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
119 the OpenSSL core team.
120 (CVE-2014-3570)
121 [Andy Polyakov]
122
123 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
124 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
125 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
126 sanity and breaks all known clients.
127 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
128
129 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
130 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
131 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
132 [Emilia Käsper]
133
134 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
135 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
136 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
137 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
138 announced in the initial ServerHello.
139
140 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
141 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
142 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
143 [Emilia Käsper]
144
145 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
146
147 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
148
149 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
150 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
151 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
152 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
153 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
154 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
155 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
156
157 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
158 (CVE-2014-3513)
159 [OpenSSL team]
160
161 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
162
163 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
164 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
165 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
166 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
167 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
168 attack.
169 (CVE-2014-3567)
170 [Steve Henson]
171
172 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
173
174 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
175 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
176 configured to send them.
177 (CVE-2014-3568)
178 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
179
180 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
181 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
182 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
183 (CVE-2014-3566)
184 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
185
186 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
187
188 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
189 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
190 DigestInfo structures.
191
192 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
193
194 [Steve Henson]
195
196 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
197
198 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
199 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
200 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
201
202 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
203 Group for discovering this issue.
204 (CVE-2014-3512)
205 [Steve Henson]
206
207 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
208 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
209 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
210 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
211 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
212
213 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
214 researching this issue.
215 (CVE-2014-3511)
216 [David Benjamin]
217
218 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
219 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
220 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
221 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
222
223 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
224 issue.
225 (CVE-2014-3510)
226 [Emilia Käsper]
227
228 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
229 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
230 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
231 (CVE-2014-3507)
232 [Adam Langley]
233
234 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
235 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
236 Denial of Service attack.
237 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
238 (CVE-2014-3506)
239 [Adam Langley]
240
241 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
242 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
243 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
244 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
245 this issue.
246 (CVE-2014-3505)
247 [Adam Langley]
248
249 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
250 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
251 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
252
253 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
254 issue.
255 (CVE-2014-3509)
256 [Gabor Tyukasz]
257
258 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
259 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
260 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
261 Denial of Service attack.
262
263 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
264 discovering and researching this issue.
265 (CVE-2014-5139)
266 [Steve Henson]
267
268 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
269 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
270 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
271 output to the attacker.
272
273 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
274 (CVE-2014-3508)
275 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
276
277 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
278 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
279 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
280 [Bodo Moeller]
281
282 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
283
284 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
285 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
286 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
287
288 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
289 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
290 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
291
292 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
293 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
294 in a DoS attack.
295
296 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
297 (CVE-2014-0221)
298 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
299
300 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
301 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
302 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
303 code on a vulnerable client or server.
304
305 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
306 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
307
308 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
309 are subject to a denial of service attack.
310
311 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
312 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
313 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
314
315 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
316 compilation flags.
317 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
318
319 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
320 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
321 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
322
323 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
324 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
325
326 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
327
328 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
329 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
330 server.
331
332 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
333 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
334 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
335 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
336
337 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
338 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
339 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
340 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
341
342 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
343 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
344 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
345
346 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
347
348 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
349 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
350 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
351 is at least 512 bytes long.
352
353 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
354
355 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
356
357 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
358 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
359 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
360 (CVE-2013-4353)
361
362 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
363 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
364 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
365 [Steve Henson]
366
367 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
368 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
369 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
370 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
371 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
372 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
373 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
374
375 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
376
377 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
378 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
379 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
380
381 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
382
383 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
384
385 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
386 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
387 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
388
389 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
390 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
391 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
392 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
393 (CVE-2013-0169)
394 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
395
396 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
397 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
398 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
399 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
400 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
401 (CVE-2012-2686)
402 [Adam Langley]
403
404 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
405 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
406 [Steve Henson]
407
408 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
409 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
410
411 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
412 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
413 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
414 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
415 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
416
417 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
418 [Steve Henson]
419
420 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
421 if renegotiating.
422 [Steve Henson]
423
424 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
425
426 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
427 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
428
429 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
430 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
431 (CVE-2012-2333)
432 [Steve Henson]
433
434 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
435 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
436 [Steve Henson]
437
438 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
439 approved.
440 [Steve Henson]
441
442 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
443
444 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
445 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
446 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
447 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
448 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
449 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
450 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
451 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
452 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
453 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
454 [Steve Henson]
455
456 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
457 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
458 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
459 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
460 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
461 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
462 client side.
463 [Andy Polyakov]
464
465 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
466
467 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
468 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
469 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
470
471 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
472 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
473 (CVE-2012-2110)
474 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
475
476 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
477 [Adam Langley]
478
479 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
480 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
481
482 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
483 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
484 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
485 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
486 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
487 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
488 Most broken servers should now work.
489 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
490 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
491 [Steve Henson]
492
493 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
494 [Andy Polyakov]
495
496 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
497
498 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
499 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
500 [Steve Henson]
501
502 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
503 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
504 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
505 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
506 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
507 [Steve Henson]
508
509 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
510 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
511 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
512 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
513 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
514 [Steve Henson]
515
516 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
517 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
518
519 *) Add support for SCTP.
520 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
521
522 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
523 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
524
525 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
526
527 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
528 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
529 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
530 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
531 - s390x: z196 support;
532 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
533
534 [Andy Polyakov]
535
536 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
537 (removal of unnecessary code)
538 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
539
540 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
541 [Eric Rescorla]
542
543 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
544 [Eric Rescorla]
545
546 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
547 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
548 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
549 by Google.
550 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
551
552 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
553 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
554 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
555 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
556 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
557
558 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
559 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
560 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
561
562 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
563 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
564 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
565
566 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
567 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
568 implementations).
569 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
570
571 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
572 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
573 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
574 [Steve Henson]
575
576 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
577 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
578 particular PSS.
579 [Steve Henson]
580
581 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
582 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
583 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
584 [Steve Henson]
585
586 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
587 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
588 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
589 the appropriate parameters.
590 [Steve Henson]
591
592 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
593 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
594 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
595 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
596 against a number of sample certificates.
597 [Steve Henson]
598
599 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
600 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
601
602 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
603 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
604
605 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
606 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
607 parameters r, s.
608 [Steve Henson]
609
610 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
611 RFC3211.
612 [Steve Henson]
613
614 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
615 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
616 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
617 password based CMS).
618 [Steve Henson]
619
620 *) Session-handling fixes:
621 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
622 but also support Session Tickets.
623 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
624 presented a ticket with an expired session.
625 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
626 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
627 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
628 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
629
630 *) Fix PSK session representation.
631 [Bodo Moeller]
632
633 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
634
635 This work was sponsored by Intel.
636 [Andy Polyakov]
637
638 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
639 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
640 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
641 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
642 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
643 [Steve Henson]
644
645 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
646 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
647 [Steve Henson]
648
649 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
650 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
651 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
652 [Steve Henson]
653
654 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
655 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
656 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
657 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
658 [Steve Henson]
659
660 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
661 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
662 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
663 [Steve Henson]
664
665 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
666 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
667
668 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
669 [Steve Henson]
670
671 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
672 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
673 [Steve Henson]
674
675 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
676 [Steve Henson]
677
678 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
679 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
680 [Steve Henson]
681
682 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
683 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
684 [Steve Henson]
685
686 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
687 [Steve Henson]
688
689 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
690 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
691 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
692 [Steve Henson]
693
694 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
695 [Steve Henson]
696
697 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
698 [Steve Henson]
699
700 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
701 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
702 [Steve Henson]
703
704 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
705 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
706 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
707 [Steve Henson]
708
709 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
710 [Steve Henson]
711
712 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
713 and enable MD5.
714 [Steve Henson]
715
716 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
717 FIPS modules versions.
718 [Steve Henson]
719
720 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
721 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
722 until after the certificate request message is received.
723 [Steve Henson]
724
725 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
726 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
727 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
728 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
729 [Steve Henson]
730
731 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
732 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
733 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
734 support yet and no support for client certificates.
735 [Steve Henson]
736
737 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
738 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
739 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
740 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
741 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
742 and version checking.
743 [Steve Henson]
744
745 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
746 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
747 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
748 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
749 [Steve Henson]
750
751 *) Add SRP support.
752 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
753
754 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
755 [Steve Henson]
756
757 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
758 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
759 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
760
761 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
762 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
763 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
764 [Steve Henson]
765
766 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
767 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
768
769 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
770 a few changes are required:
771
772 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
773 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
774 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
775 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
776 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
777 [Steve Henson]
778
779 Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
780
781 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
782
783 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
784 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
785 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
786
787 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
788 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
789 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
790 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
791 (CVE-2013-0169)
792 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
793
794 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
795 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
796 [Steve Henson]
797
798 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
799 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
800 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
801 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
802 (This is a backport)
803 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
804
805 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
806 [Steve Henson]
807
808 Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
809
810 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
811 OpenSSL 1.0.1.]
812
813 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
814 to fix DoS attack.
815
816 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
817 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
818 (CVE-2012-2333)
819 [Steve Henson]
820
821 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
822 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
823 [Steve Henson]
824
825 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
826
827 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
828 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
829 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
830
831 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
832 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
833 (CVE-2012-2110)
834 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
835
836 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
837
838 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
839 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
840 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
841 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
842 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
843 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
844 an MMA defence is not necessary.
845 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
846 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
847 [Steve Henson]
848
849 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
850 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
851 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
852 [Steve Henson]
853
854 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
855
856 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
857 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
858 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
859 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
860 [Antonio Martin]
861
862 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
863
864 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
865 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
866 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
867 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
868 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
869 paper describing this attack can be found at:
870 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
871 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
872 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
873 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
874 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
875 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
876 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
877
878 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
879 (CVE-2011-4576)
880 [Adam Langley (Google)]
881
882 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
883 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
884 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
885 [Adam Langley (Google)]
886
887 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
888 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
889
890 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
891 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
892 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
893 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
894
895 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
896 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
897
898 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
899 [Adam Langley (Google)]
900
901 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
902 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
903
904 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
905 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
906 [Adam Langley (Google)]
907
908 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
909 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
910 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
911
912 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
913 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
914 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
915 the last update always remained unused).
916 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
917
918 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
919 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
920
921 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
922
923 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
924 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
925 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
926
927 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
928 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
929 [Adam Langley (Google)]
930
931 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
932 [Bodo Moeller]
933
934 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
935 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
936 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
937 [Steve Henson]
938
939 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
940 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
941
942 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
943
944 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
945
946 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
947
948 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
949 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
950
951 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
952 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
953 ambiguous.
954 [Steve Henson]
955
956 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
957
958 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
959 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
960 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
961 [Steve Henson]
962
963 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
964 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
965 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
966 [Ben Laurie]
967
968 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
969
970 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
971 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
972 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
973 [Steve Henson]
974
975 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
976 a DLL.
977 [Steve Henson]
978
979 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
980
981 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
982 (CVE-2010-1633)
983 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
984
985 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
986
987 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
988 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
989 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
990 [Steve Henson]
991
992 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
993 [Steve Henson]
994
995 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
996 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
997 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
998
999 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1000 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1001 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1002 [Steve Henson]
1003
1004 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1005 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1006 [Steve Henson]
1007
1008 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1009 some responders need this.
1010 [Steve Henson]
1011
1012 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1013 correctly.
1014 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1015
1016 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1017 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1018 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1019 [Steve Henson]
1020
1021 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1022 [Steve Henson]
1023
1024 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1025 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1026 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1027 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1028 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1029 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1030 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1031 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1032 [Steve Henson]
1033
1034 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1035 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1036 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1037 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1038
1039 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1040 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1041
1042 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1043 be used on C++.
1044 [Steve Henson]
1045
1046 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1047 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1048 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1049 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1050 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1051 attempting to work them out.
1052 [Steve Henson]
1053
1054 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1055 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1056 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1057 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1058 [Steve Henson]
1059
1060 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1061 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1062 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1063 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1064 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1065 [Steve Henson]
1066
1067 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1068 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1069 you can do:
1070
1071 openssl sha256 foo
1072
1073 as well as:
1074
1075 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1076
1077 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1078
1079 [Steve Henson]
1080
1081 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1082 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1083
1084 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1085 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1086
1087 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1088 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1089 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1090 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1091 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1092 [Steve Henson]
1093
1094 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1095 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1096 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1097 [Steve Henson]
1098
1099 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1100 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1101 [Steve Henson]
1102
1103 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1104 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1105
1106 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1107 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1108 [Steve Henson]
1109
1110 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1111 [Ben Laurie]
1112
1113 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1114 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1115 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1116 CONF_VALUE.
1117 [Ben Laurie]
1118
1119 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1120 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1121 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1122 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1123 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1124 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1125 [Steve Henson]
1126
1127 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1128 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1129
1130 This work was sponsored by Google.
1131 [Steve Henson]
1132
1133 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1134 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1135 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1136 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1137 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1138 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1139 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1140 default.
1141
1142 This work was sponsored by Google.
1143 [Steve Henson]
1144
1145 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1146
1147 This work was sponsored by Google.
1148 [Steve Henson]
1149
1150 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1151 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1152 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1153 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1154
1155 This work was sponsored by Google.
1156 [Steve Henson]
1157
1158 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1159 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1160 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1161 CRL functionality in future.
1162
1163 This work was sponsored by Google.
1164 [Steve Henson]
1165
1166 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1167
1168 This work was sponsored by Google.
1169 [Steve Henson]
1170
1171 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1172 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1173
1174 This work was sponsored by Google.
1175 [Steve Henson]
1176
1177 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1178 and URI types are currently supported.
1179
1180 This work was sponsored by Google.
1181 [Steve Henson]
1182
1183 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1184 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1185 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1186 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1187 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1188 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1189 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1190 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1191
1192 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1193 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1194 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1195
1196 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1197 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1198 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1199 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1200
1201 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1202 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1203 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1204 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1205 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1206 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1207 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1208 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1209 of &errno.)
1210 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1211
1212 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1213 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1214 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1215
1216 This work was sponsored by Google.
1217 [Steve Henson]
1218
1219 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1220 [Ben Laurie]
1221
1222 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1223 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1224 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1225 [Ben Laurie]
1226
1227 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1228 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1229 [Nick Mathewson]
1230
1231 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1232 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1233 [Ben Laurie]
1234
1235 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1236 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1237 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1238 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1239 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1240 content types and variants.
1241 [Steve Henson]
1242
1243 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1244 [Steve Henson]
1245
1246 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1247 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1248 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1249 files from the associated perl scripts.
1250 [Steve Henson]
1251
1252 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1253 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1254 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1255
1256 *) s390x assembler pack.
1257 [Andy Polyakov]
1258
1259 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1260 "family."
1261 [Andy Polyakov]
1262
1263 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1264 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1265 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1266 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1267 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1268 to use. For example, specify an option
1269
1270 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1271
1272 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1273 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1274 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1275 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1276 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1277 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1278
1279 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1280 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1281 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1282 return non-zero for success.
1283
1284 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1285 by using
1286
1287 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1288 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1289
1290 where
1291
1292 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1293 void *arg;
1294
1295 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1296 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1297 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1298 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1299 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1300 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1301 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1302 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1303 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1304
1305 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1306 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1307 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1308 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1309 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1310 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1311
1312 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1313 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1314 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1315 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1316 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1317 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1318
1319 [Bodo Moeller]
1320
1321 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1322 MAC.
1323
1324 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1325
1326 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1327 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1328 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1329 supported.
1330
1331 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1332 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1333 SSL_SESSION.
1334
1335 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1336 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1337 with no application modification.
1338
1339 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1340 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1341
1342 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1343 or server extensions to be examined.
1344
1345 This work was sponsored by Google.
1346 [Steve Henson]
1347
1348 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1349 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1350 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1351
1352 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1353 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1354 ciphersuite support.
1355 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1356
1357 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1358 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1359 to output in BER and PEM format.
1360 [Steve Henson]
1361
1362 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1363 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1364 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1365 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1366 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1367 [Steve Henson]
1368
1369 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1370 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1371 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1372 utility.
1373 [Steve Henson]
1374
1375 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1376 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1377 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1378 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1379 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1380 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1381 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1382 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1383 enabled again.
1384
1385 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1386 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1387 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1388 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1389
1390 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1391 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1392 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1393 the default order.
1394 [Bodo Moeller]
1395
1396 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1397 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1398 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1399 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1400 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1401 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1402 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1403 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1404 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1405
1406 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1407 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1408 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1409 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1410 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1411 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1412 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1413 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1414 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1415 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1416 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1417 kinds of kludges.
1418
1419 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1420 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1421 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1422
1423 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1424 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1425 "CAMELLIA256".
1426 [Bodo Moeller]
1427
1428 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1429 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1430 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1431 [Nils Larsch]
1432
1433 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1434 it yet and it is largely untested.
1435 [Steve Henson]
1436
1437 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1438 [Nils Larsch]
1439
1440 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1441 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1442 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1443 [Steve Henson]
1444
1445 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1446 [Andy Polyakov]
1447
1448 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1449 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1450 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1451 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1452 [Steve Henson]
1453
1454 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1455 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1456 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1457 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1458 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1459 [Steve Henson]
1460
1461 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1462 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1463 [Cryptocom]
1464
1465 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1466 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1467 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1468 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1469 [Steve Henson]
1470
1471 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1472 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1473 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1474 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1475 [Steve Henson]
1476
1477 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1478 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1479 [Steve Henson]
1480
1481 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1482 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1483 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1484 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1485 [Steve Henson]
1486
1487 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1488 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1489 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1490 [Steve Henson]
1491
1492 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1493 utility.
1494 [Steve Henson]
1495
1496 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1497 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1498 [Steve Henson]
1499
1500 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1501 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1502 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1503 if necessary.
1504 [Steve Henson]
1505
1506 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1507 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1508 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1509 [Steve Henson]
1510
1511 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1512 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1513 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1514 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1515 [Steve Henson]
1516
1517 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1518 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1519 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1520 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1521 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1522 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1523 [Douglas Stebila]
1524
1525 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1526 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1527 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1528 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1529 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1530
1531 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1532 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1533 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1534 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1535 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1536 protocol).
1537
1538 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1539 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1540 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1541 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1542
1543 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1544 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1545 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1546 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1547 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1548
1549 aECDH - ECDH cert
1550 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
1551 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
1552
1553 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1554 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1555
1556 [Bodo Moeller]
1557
1558 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1559 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1560 [Steve Henson]
1561
1562 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1563 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1564 [Steve Henson]
1565
1566 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1567 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1568 functional reference processing.
1569 [Steve Henson]
1570
1571 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1572 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1573 process.
1574 [Steve Henson]
1575
1576 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1577 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1578 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1579 [Steve Henson]
1580
1581 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1582 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1583 application to support multiple signers.
1584 [Steve Henson]
1585
1586 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1587 digest MAC.
1588 [Steve Henson]
1589
1590 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1591 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1592 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1593 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1594 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1595 [Steve Henson]
1596
1597 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1598 new API.
1599 [Steve Henson]
1600
1601 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1602 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1603 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1604 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1605 a no op.
1606 [Steve Henson]
1607
1608 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1609 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1610 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1611 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1612 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1613 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1614 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1615 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1616 [Steve Henson]
1617
1618 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1619 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1620 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1621 between digests and public key types.
1622 [Steve Henson]
1623
1624 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1625 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1626 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1627 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1628 [Steve Henson]
1629
1630 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1631 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1632 key ASN1 method.
1633 [Steve Henson]
1634
1635 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1636 [Steve Henson]
1637
1638 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1639 pkeyutl.
1640 [Steve Henson]
1641
1642 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1643 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1644 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1645 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1646 pkey, genpkey.
1647 [Steve Henson]
1648
1649 *) BeOS support.
1650 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1651
1652 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1653 manual pages.
1654 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1655
1656 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1657 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1658 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1659 functionality for RSA.
1660 [Steve Henson]
1661
1662 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1663 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1664 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1665 [Steve Henson]
1666
1667 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1668 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1669 [Steve Henson]
1670
1671 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1672 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1673 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1674 [Steve Henson]
1675
1676 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1677 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1678 [Douglas Stebila]
1679
1680 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1681 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1682 [Steve Henson]
1683
1684 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1685 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1686 type.
1687 [Steve Henson]
1688
1689 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1690 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1691 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1692 structure.
1693 [Steve Henson]
1694
1695 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1696 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1697 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1698 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1699 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1700 of public and private key structures.
1701 [Steve Henson]
1702
1703 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1704 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1705 [Douglas Stebila]
1706
1707 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1708 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1709 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1710
1711 New ciphersuites:
1712 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1713 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
1714
1715 New functions:
1716 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1717 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1718 SSL_get_psk_identity
1719 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1720
1721 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1722
1723 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1724 and response verification functionality.
1725 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1726
1727 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1728 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1729 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1730 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1731 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1732 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1733 server_name extension.
1734
1735 New functions (subject to change):
1736
1737 SSL_get_servername()
1738 SSL_get_servername_type()
1739 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
1740
1741 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1742
1743 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1744 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1745 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1746 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1747 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1748
1749 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1750
1751 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1752 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1753 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1754 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1755 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1756 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1757 option.
1758
1759 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1760
1761 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1762 [Andy Polyakov]
1763
1764 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1765 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1766 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1767 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1768 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1769 [Andy Polyakov]
1770
1771 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1772 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1773 macro.
1774 [Bodo Moeller]
1775
1776 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1777 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1778 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1779 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1780 [Andy Polyakov]
1781
1782 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1783 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1784 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1785 using the maximum available value.
1786 [Steve Henson]
1787
1788 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1789 in addition to the text details.
1790 [Bodo Moeller]
1791
1792 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1793 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1794 handle several customised structures at all.
1795 [Steve Henson]
1796
1797 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1798 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1799 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1800 [Steve Henson]
1801
1802 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1803 [Steve Henson]
1804
1805 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1806 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1807 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1808 [Steve Henson]
1809
1810 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1811 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1812 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1813 [Nils Larsch]
1814
1815 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1816 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1817 all fields.
1818 [Steve Henson]
1819
1820 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1821 [Steve Henson]
1822
1823 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1824 [NTT]
1825
1826 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
1827
1828 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1829
1830 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1831 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1832 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1833
1834 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1835 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1836 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1837 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1838 (CVE-2013-0169)
1839 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1840
1841 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1842 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1843 [Steve Henson]
1844
1845 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1846 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1847 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1848 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1849 (This is a backport)
1850 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1851
1852 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1853 [Steve Henson]
1854
1855 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
1856
1857 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
1858 to fix DoS attack.
1859
1860 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1861 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1862 (CVE-2012-2333)
1863 [Steve Henson]
1864
1865 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1866 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1867 [Steve Henson]
1868
1869 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
1870
1871 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
1872 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
1873 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
1874 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
1875 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1876
1877 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
1878
1879 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1880 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1881 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1882
1883 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1884 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1885 (CVE-2012-2110)
1886 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1887
1888 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
1889
1890 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1891 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1892 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1893 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1894 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1895 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1896 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1897 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1898 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1899 [Steve Henson]
1900
1901 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1902 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1903 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1904 [Steve Henson]
1905
1906 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
1907
1908 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1909 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1910 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1911 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1912 [Antonio Martin]
1913
1914 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
1915
1916 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1917 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1918 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1919 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1920 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1921 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1922 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1923 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1924 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1925 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1926 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1927 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1928 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1929
1930 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
1931 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
1932
1933 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1934 (CVE-2011-4576)
1935 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1936
1937 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1938 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1939 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1940 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1941
1942 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1943 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1944 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1945 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1946
1947 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1948 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1949
1950 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1951 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1952
1953 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1954 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1955 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1956
1957 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1958 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1959 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1960
1961 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1962 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1963 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1964 the last update always remained unused).
1965 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1966
1967 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1968 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
1969 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1970
1971 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1972 [Bodo Moeller]
1973
1974 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1975 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1976
1977 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1978
1979 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1980
1981 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
1982
1983 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1984 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1985
1986 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1987 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1988 ambiguous.
1989 [Steve Henson]
1990
1991 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
1992
1993 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1994 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1995 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1996 [Steve Henson]
1997
1998 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1999 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2000 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2001 [Ben Laurie]
2002
2003 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
2004
2005 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2006 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2007 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2008 [Steve Henson]
2009
2010 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
2011 [Steve Henson]
2012
2013 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
2014 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
2015 some broken encodings work correctly.
2016 [Steve Henson]
2017
2018 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
2019 is also one of the inputs.
2020 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2021
2022 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
2023 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
2024 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
2025 etc are non-op.
2026 [Steve Henson]
2027
2028 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
2029
2030 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
2031 OpenSSL 1.0.0.]
2032
2033 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
2034 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
2035 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
2036
2037 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
2038 common in certificates and some applications which only call
2039 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
2040 [Steve Henson]
2041
2042 *) VMS fixes:
2043 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
2044 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
2045 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
2046 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
2047
2048 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2049
2050 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2051 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2052 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2053 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2054 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2055 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2056 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2057 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2058
2059 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2060 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2061 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2062
2063 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2064
2065 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2066 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2067
2068 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2069 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2070 [Bodo Moeller]
2071
2072 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2073 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2074 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2075 [Steve Henson]
2076
2077 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2078 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2079 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2080 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2081 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2082 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2083 [Steve Henson]
2084
2085 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2086 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2087 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2088 [Steve Henson]
2089
2090 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2091 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2092 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2093 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2094 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2095 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2096 CVE-2009-4355.
2097 [Steve Henson]
2098
2099 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2100 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2101 [Bodo Moeller]
2102
2103 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2104 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2105 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2106 [Steve Henson]
2107
2108 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2109 [Steve Henson]
2110
2111 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2112 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2113 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2114 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2115 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2116 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2117 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2118 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2119 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2120 [Steve Henson]
2121
2122 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2123 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2124 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2125 [Steve Henson]
2126
2127 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2128 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2129 [Steve Henson]
2130
2131 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2132 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2133 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2134 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2135 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2136 know what you are doing.
2137 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2138
2139 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2140 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2141 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2142 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2143 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2144 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2145 the handshake.
2146 [Steve Henson]
2147
2148 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2149 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2150 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2151 correctly.
2152 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2153
2154 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2155 warnings in other configurations.
2156 [Steve Henson]
2157
2158 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2159 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2160 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2161 systems need.
2162 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2163
2164 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2165 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2166 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2167
2168 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2169 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2170 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2171 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2172 [Steve Henson]
2173
2174 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2175 and restored.
2176 [Steve Henson]
2177
2178 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2179 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2180 clash.
2181 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2182
2183 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2184 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2185 other than a simple chain.
2186 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2187
2188 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2189 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2190 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2191 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2192 [Steve Henson]
2193
2194 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2195 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2196 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2197 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2198 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2199 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2200 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2201 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2202 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2203
2204 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2205 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2206 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2207 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2208 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2209 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2210 (CVE-2009-1377)
2211 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2212
2213 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2214 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2215 [Daniel Mentz]
2216
2217 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
2218 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
2219
2220 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
2221 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2222
2223 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2224
2225 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2226 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2227 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2228 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2229 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2230 you're doing.
2231 [Ben Laurie]
2232
2233 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2234
2235 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2236 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2237 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2238 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2239
2240 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2241 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2242 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2243 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2244
2245 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2246 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2247 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2248 [Steve Henson]
2249
2250 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2251 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2252 level.
2253 [Steve Henson]
2254
2255 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2256 to handle some structures.
2257 [Steve Henson]
2258
2259 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2260 for a '\n'
2261 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2262
2263 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2264 [Matthieu Herrb]
2265
2266 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2267 [Steve Henson]
2268
2269 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2270 [Steve Henson]
2271
2272 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2273 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2274 chosen compiler.
2275 [Ben Laurie]
2276
2277 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2278
2279 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2280 (CVE-2008-5077).
2281 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2282
2283 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2284 [Ben Laurie]
2285
2286 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2287 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2288 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2289 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2290
2291 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2292 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2293
2294 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2295 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2296 [Bodo Moeller]
2297
2298 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2299 s_client and s_server.
2300 [Ben Laurie]
2301
2302 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2303 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2304
2305 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2306 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2307
2308 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2309 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2310 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2311 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2312 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2313 [Bodo Moeller]
2314
2315 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2316
2317 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2318 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2319 [PR #1679]
2320
2321 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2322 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2323 [Nagendra Modadugu]
2324
2325 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2326 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2327 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2328 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2329
2330 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2331 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2332
2333 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2334
2335 *) Various precautionary measures:
2336
2337 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2338
2339 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2340 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2341 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2342
2343 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2344 outside the expected range.
2345
2346 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2347 builds.
2348
2349 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2350
2351 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2352 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2353 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2354
2355 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2356 [Steve Henson]
2357
2358 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2359 [Huang Ying]
2360
2361 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2362
2363 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2364 [Steve Henson]
2365
2366 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2367 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2368 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2369
2370 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2371 [Steve Henson]
2372
2373 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2374 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2375 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2376 files.
2377 [Steve Henson]
2378
2379 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2380
2381 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2382 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2383 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2384 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2385
2386 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2387 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2388 [Joe Orton]
2389
2390 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2391
2392 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2393 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2394 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2395
2396 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2397
2398 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2399 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2400 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2401 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2402 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2403
2404 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2405 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2406 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2407 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2408 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2409 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2410 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2411
2412 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2413
2414 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2415 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2416 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2417 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2418 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2419
2420 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2421 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2422
2423 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2424 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2425 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2426 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2427 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2428
2429 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2430
2431 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2432 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2433 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2434 sets may exist with different names.
2435 [Steve Henson]
2436
2437 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2438 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2439 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2440 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2441 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2442 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2443 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2444 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2445 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2446 implementation.
2447 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2448
2449 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2450 implemention in the following ways:
2451
2452 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2453 hard coded.
2454
2455 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2456 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2457 ignored for embedded content.
2458
2459 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2460 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2461 [Steve Henson]
2462
2463 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2464 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2465 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2466 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2467
2468 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2469 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2470 [Steve Henson]
2471
2472 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2473 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2474 [Steve Henson]
2475
2476 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2477 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2478 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2479 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2480 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2481 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2482 data.
2483 [Steve Henson]
2484
2485 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2486 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2487 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2488
2489 *) Netware support:
2490
2491 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2492 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2493 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2494 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2495 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2496 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2497 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2498 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2499 platform
2500 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2501 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2502 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2503 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2504 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2505 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2506 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2507
2508 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2509 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2510 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2511 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2512 to s_client and s_server.
2513 [Steve Henson]
2514
2515 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2516
2517 *) Fix various bugs:
2518 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2519 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2520 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2521 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2522 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2523
2524 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2525
2526 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2527 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2528 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2529 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2530 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2531 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2532 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2533 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2534 [Andy Polyakov]
2535
2536 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2537 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2538 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2539 Steve Henson]
2540
2541 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2542 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2543 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2544 supported.
2545
2546 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2547 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2548 SSL_SESSION.
2549
2550 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2551 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2552 with no application modification.
2553
2554 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2555 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2556
2557 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2558 or server extensions to be examined.
2559
2560 This work was sponsored by Google.
2561 [Steve Henson]
2562
2563 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2564 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2565 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2566 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2567 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2568 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2569 server_name extension.
2570
2571 New functions (subject to change):
2572
2573 SSL_get_servername()
2574 SSL_get_servername_type()
2575 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
2576
2577 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2578
2579 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2580 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2581 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2582 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2583 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2584
2585 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2586
2587 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2588 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2589 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2590 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2591 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2592 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2593 option.
2594
2595 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2596
2597 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2598 [Steve Henson]
2599
2600 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2601 [Andy Polyakov]
2602
2603 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2604 (which previously caused an internal error).
2605 [Bodo Moeller]
2606
2607 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2608 [Ben Laurie]
2609
2610 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2611 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2612
2613 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2614 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2615 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2616
2617 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2618 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2619 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2620 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2621
2622 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2623 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2624 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2625 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2626
2627 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2628 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2629 information. For detailed background information, see
2630 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2631 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2632 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2633 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2634 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2635 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2636 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2637 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2638 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2639 remove a conditional branch.
2640
2641 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2642 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2643 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2644 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2645 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2646 remains as a deprecated alias.
2647
2648 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2649 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2650 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2651 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2652
2653 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2654 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2655 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2656 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2657 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2658 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2659 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2660 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2661
2662 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2663
2664 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2665 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2666 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2667 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2668 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2669 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2670 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2671 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2672 in a different context.
2673 [Bodo Moeller]
2674
2675 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2676 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2677 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2678 [Bodo Moeller]
2679
2680 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2681 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2682 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2683
2684 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2685
2686 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2687 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2688 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2689 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2690 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2691 [Victor Duchovni]
2692
2693 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2694 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2695 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2696 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2697 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2698 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2699 [Bodo Moeller]
2700
2701 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2702 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2703 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2704 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2705 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2706 [Bodo Moeller]
2707
2708 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2709 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2710
2711 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2712 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2713 Improve header file function name parsing.
2714 [Steve Henson]
2715
2716 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2717 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2718 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
2719
2720 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2721
2722 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2723 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2724 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2725
2726 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2727 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2728
2729 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2730 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2731
2732 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2733 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2734 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2735
2736 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2737 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2738 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2739 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2740 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2741 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2742 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2743 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2744 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2745
2746 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2747 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2748 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2749 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2750 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2751
2752 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2753 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2754 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2755 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2756 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2757 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2758 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2759 multiple values to extend the available space.
2760
2761 [Bodo Moeller]
2762
2763 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2764
2765 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2766 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2767
2768 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2769 [Ben Laurie]
2770
2771 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2772 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2773 undesirable limitations.
2774 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2775
2776 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2777 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2778 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2779 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2780 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2781 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2782 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2783 [Bodo Moeller]
2784
2785 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2786
2787 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2788 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2789 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2790
2791 The latter two were purportedly from
2792 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2793 appear there.
2794
2795 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2796 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2797 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2798 [Bodo Moeller]
2799
2800 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2801 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2802 [Bodo Moeller]
2803
2804 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2805 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2806 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2807 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2808
2809 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2810 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2811 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2812 [NTT]
2813
2814 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2815 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2816 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2817 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2818 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2819 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2820 [Steve Henson]
2821
2822 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2823
2824 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2825 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2826 [Steve Henson]
2827
2828 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2829 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2830
2831 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2832 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2833 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2834 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2835 [Douglas Stebila]
2836
2837 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2838 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2839 [Steve Henson]
2840
2841 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2842 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2843 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2844 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2845 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2846 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2847 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2848 can't be loaded.
2849 [Steve Henson]
2850
2851 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2852 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2853 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2854 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2855 [Steve Henson]
2856
2857 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2858 under VC++ build system.
2859 [Steve Henson]
2860
2861 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2862 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2863 [Richard Levitte]
2864
2865 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2866
2867 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2868 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2869 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2870 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2871 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2872
2873 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2874 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2875 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2876
2877 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2878 [Steve Henson]
2879
2880 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2881 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2882 [Nils Larsch]
2883
2884 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2885 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2886
2887 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2888 [Nick Mathewson]
2889
2890 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2891 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2892
2893 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2894 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2895 [Steve Henson]
2896
2897 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2898 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2899 smime utility.
2900 [Steve Henson]
2901
2902 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2903
2904 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2905 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
2906
2907 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2908 [Richard Levitte]
2909
2910 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2911 key into the same file any more.
2912 [Richard Levitte]
2913
2914 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2915 [Andy Polyakov]
2916
2917 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2918 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2919
2920 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2921 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2922 [Richard Levitte]
2923
2924 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2925 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2926 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2927 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2928 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2929 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2930
2931 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2932 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2933 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2934 [Steve Henson]
2935
2936 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2937 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2938 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2939 - add new function for parameter creation
2940 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2941 BN_BLINDING parameters
2942 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2943 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2944 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2945 threads.
2946 [Nils Larsch]
2947
2948 *) Add support for DTLS.
2949 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2950
2951 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2952 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2953 [Walter Goulet]
2954
2955 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2956 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2957 [Nils Larsch]
2958
2959 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2960 the apps/openssl applications.
2961 [Nils Larsch]
2962
2963 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2964 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2965 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2966 [Ben Laurie]
2967
2968 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2969 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2970
2971 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2972 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2973
2974 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2975 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2976 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2977 avoid this algorithm.)
2978
2979 [Bodo Moeller]
2980
2981 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2982 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2983 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2984 [Richard Levitte]
2985
2986 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2987 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2988 [Andy Polyakov]
2989
2990 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2991 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2992 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2993 pod file:
2994
2995 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2996
2997 The blank line is mandatory.
2998
2999 [Steve Henson]
3000
3001 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3002 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3003 sources.
3004 [Steve Henson]
3005
3006 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3007 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3008
3009 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3010 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3011 to support policy checking and print out.
3012 [Steve Henson]
3013
3014 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3015 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3016 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3017 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3018
3019 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3020 [Geoff Thorpe]
3021
3022 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3023 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3024
3025 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3026 implementation contributed by IBM.
3027 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3028
3029 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3030 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3031 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3032 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3033
3034 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3035 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3036
3037 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3038 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3039 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3040 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3041 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3042 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3043 [Steve Henson]
3044
3045 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3046 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3047 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3048 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3049 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3050 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3051 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3052 [Geoff Thorpe]
3053
3054 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3055 [Steve Henson]
3056
3057 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3058 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3059 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3060 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3061 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3062 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3063 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3064 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3065 [Steve Henson]
3066
3067 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3068 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3069 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3070 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3071 [Steve Henson]
3072
3073 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3074 syntax:
3075
3076 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3077 [Steve Henson]
3078
3079 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3080 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3081 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3082 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3083 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3084 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3085 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3086 [Geoff Thorpe]
3087
3088 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3089 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3090 [Geoff Thorpe]
3091
3092 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3093 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3094 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3095 [Steve Henson]
3096
3097 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3098 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3099 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3100 below).
3101 [Geoff Thorpe]
3102
3103 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3104 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3105 [Richard Levitte]
3106
3107 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3108 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3109 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3110 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3111 [Geoff Thorpe]
3112
3113 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3114 initialised value as BN_new().
3115 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3116
3117 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3118 [Steve Henson]
3119
3120 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3121 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3122 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3123 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3124 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3125 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3126 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3127 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3128 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3129 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3130 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3131 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3132 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3133 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3134 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3135
3136 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3137 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3138 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3139 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3140 [Geoff Thorpe]
3141
3142 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3143 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3144 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3145 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3146 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3147 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3148 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3149 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3150 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3151 [Geoff Thorpe]
3152
3153 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3154 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3155 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3156 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3157 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3158 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3159 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3160 [Geoff Thorpe]
3161
3162 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3163 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3164 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3165 these have been updated also.
3166 [Geoff Thorpe]
3167
3168 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3169 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3170 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3171 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3172 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3173 functions.
3174 [Steve Henson]
3175
3176 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3177 structure of type "other".
3178 [Steve Henson]
3179
3180 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3181 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3182 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3183 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3184 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3185 situation in the script.
3186 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3187
3188 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3189 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3190 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3191 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3192 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3193 used as premaster secret.
3194 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3195
3196 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3197 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3198 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3199
3200 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3201 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3202
3203 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3204 control of the error stack.
3205 [Richard Levitte]
3206
3207 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3208 [Richard Levitte]
3209
3210 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3211 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3212 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3213 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3214 [Richard Levitte]
3215
3216 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3217 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3218 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3219 [Richard Levitte]
3220
3221 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3222 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3223 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3224 a memory area.
3225 [Richard Levitte]
3226
3227 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3228 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3229 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3230 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3231 [Richard Levitte]
3232
3233 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3234 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3235 the following flags are defined:
3236
3237 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3238 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3239 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3240 number.
3241
3242 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3243 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3244 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3245 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3246 returns zero.
3247 [Richard Levitte]
3248
3249 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3250 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3251 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3252 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3253 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3254 [Richard Levitte]
3255
3256 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3257 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3258 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3259 [Richard Levitte]
3260
3261 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3262 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3263 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3264 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3265 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3266 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3267 [Richard Levitte]
3268
3269 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3270 req and dirName.
3271 [Steve Henson]
3272
3273 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3274 [Steve Henson]
3275
3276 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3277 [Steve Henson]
3278
3279 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3280 [Steve Henson]
3281
3282 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3283 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3284 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3285 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3286 default implementation more easily.
3287 [Geoff Thorpe]
3288
3289 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3290 in config files.
3291 [Steve Henson]
3292
3293 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3294 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3295 [Richard Levitte]
3296
3297 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3298 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3299 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3300 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3301
3302 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3303 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3304 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3305 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3306 [Steve Henson]
3307
3308 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3309 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3310 to do it.
3311 [Richard Levitte]
3312
3313 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3314 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3315 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3316 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3317 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3318 scalar * generator).
3319 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3320
3321 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3322 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3323 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3324 correctly.
3325 [Steve Henson]
3326
3327 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3328 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3329 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3330 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3331 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3332 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3333 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3334 linker additions, eg;
3335 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3336 [Geoff Thorpe]
3337
3338 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3339 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3340 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3341 [Geoff Thorpe]
3342
3343 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3344 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3345 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3346 via PR#459)
3347 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3348
3349 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3350 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3351 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3352 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3353 [Geoff Thorpe]
3354
3355 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3356 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3357 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3358 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3359 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3360 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3361 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3362 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3363 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3364 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3365
3366 Example for using the new callback interface:
3367
3368 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3369 void *my_arg = ...;
3370 BN_GENCB my_cb;
3371
3372 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3373
3374 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3375 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3376 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3377 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3378 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3379 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3380 */
3381
3382 [Geoff Thorpe]
3383
3384 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3385 available to TLS with the number defined in
3386 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3387 [Richard Levitte]
3388
3389 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3390 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3391
3392 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3393 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3394 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3395 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3396
3397 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3398 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3399
3400 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3401 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3402 well.
3403 [Richard Levitte]
3404
3405 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3406 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3407 [Richard Levitte]
3408
3409 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3410 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3411 and a macro that behave like
3412 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3413
3414 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3415 [Nils Larsch]
3416
3417 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3418 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3419 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3420 if applicable.
3421 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3422
3423 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3424 [Bodo Moeller]
3425
3426 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3427 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3428 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3429 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3430 directory engines/.
3431 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3432 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3433 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3434 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3435 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3436 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3437 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3438 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3439
3440 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3441 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3442 [Richard Levitte]
3443
3444 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3445 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3446
3447 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3448 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3449 files while avoiding the low level API.
3450
3451 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3452 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3453 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3454 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3455
3456 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3457 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3458 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3459 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3460 instead of the low level API.
3461 [Steve Henson]
3462
3463 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3464 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3465 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3466 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3467 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3468 PKCS#7 code.
3469
3470 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3471 down to the template encoder.
3472 [Steve Henson]
3473
3474 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3475 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3476 [Bodo Moeller]
3477
3478 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3479 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3480 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3481 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3482
3483 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3484 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3485
3486 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3487 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3488
3489 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3490 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3491 [Bodo Moeller]
3492
3493 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3494 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3495 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3496 [Bodo Moeller]
3497
3498 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3499 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3500
3501 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3502 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3503
3504 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3505 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3506 New EC_METHOD:
3507
3508 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3509
3510 New API functions:
3511
3512 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3513 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3514 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3515 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3516 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3517 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3518
3519 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3520 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3521 enable it).
3522
3523 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3524 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3525 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3526 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3527 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3528 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3529 various internal method names.)
3530
3531 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3532 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3533
3534 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3535 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3536
3537 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3538 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3539
3540 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3541 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3542 methods are undefined.
3543
3544 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3545 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3546
3547 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3548 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3549 length of the modulus.
3550
3551 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3552 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3553
3554 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3555 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3556
3557 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3558 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3559
3560 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3561 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3562 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3563
3564 BN_GF2m_add
3565 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3566 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3567 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3568 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3569 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
3570 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3571 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3572 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3573 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3574
3575 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3576 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3577
3578 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3579 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3580 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3581 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3582 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3583 where
3584 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3585 This applies to the following functions:
3586
3587 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
3588 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
3589 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
3590 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3591 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3592 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
3593 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3594 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3595 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
3596 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
3597
3598 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3599
3600 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
3601 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
3602
3603 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3604
3605 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3606 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3607 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3608 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3609 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3610
3611 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3612 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3613
3614 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3615 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3616 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3617
3618 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3619 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3620
3621 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3622 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3623 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3624 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3625 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3626
3627 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3628 functions
3629 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3630 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3631 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3632 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3633 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3634 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3635 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3636 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3637 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3638 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3639 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3640 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3641
3642 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3643 functions
3644 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
3645 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3646 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3647 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3648 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3649
3650 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3651 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3652 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3653 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3654
3655 *) Add functions
3656 EC_POINT_point2bn()
3657 EC_POINT_bn2point()
3658 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3659 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3660 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3661 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3662 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3663
3664 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3665 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3666 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3667 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3668 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3669 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3670 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3671 adding different types of curves.
3672 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3673
3674 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3675 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3676 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3677 [Bodo Moeller]
3678
3679 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3680 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3681
3682 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3683 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3684 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3685 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3686
3687 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3688
3689 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3690 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3691
3692 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3693 library. Most notably,
3694 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3695 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3696 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3697 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3698 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3699 extracted before the specific public key;
3700 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3701 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3702
3703 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3704 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3705 function
3706 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3707 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3708 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3709 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3710 accessed via
3711 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3712 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3713 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3714
3715 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3716 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3717 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3718 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3719 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3720 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3721 differing sizes.
3722 [Richard Levitte]
3723
3724 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3725
3726 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3727 sensitive data.
3728 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3729
3730 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3731 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3732 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3733 [Bodo Moeller]
3734
3735 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3736 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3737 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3738 [Victor Duchovni]
3739
3740 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3741 [Steve Henson]
3742
3743 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3744 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3745 [Steve Henson]
3746
3747 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3748 run algorithm test programs.
3749 [Steve Henson]
3750
3751 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3752 [Steve Henson]
3753
3754 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3755 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3756 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3757 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3758 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3759 [Bodo Moeller]
3760
3761 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3762 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3763 [Steve Henson]
3764
3765 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3766
3767 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3768 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3769 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3770
3771 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3772 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3773
3774 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3775 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3776
3777 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3778 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3779 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3780
3781 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3782 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3783 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3784 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3785 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3786 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3787 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3788 [Bodo Moeller]
3789
3790 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3791
3792 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3793 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3794
3795 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3796 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3797 undesirable limitations.
3798 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3799
3800 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3801
3802 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3803 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3804 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3805
3806 The latter two were purportedly from
3807 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3808 appear there.
3809
3810 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3811 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3812 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3813 [Bodo Moeller]
3814
3815 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3816 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3817 [Bodo Moeller]
3818
3819 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3820
3821 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3822 module in FIPS mode.
3823 [Steve Henson]
3824
3825 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3826 [Steve Henson]
3827
3828 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3829 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3830 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3831 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3832 [Steve Henson]
3833
3834 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3835
3836 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3837 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3838 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3839 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3840 the difference induced by this change.
3841 [Andy Polyakov]
3842
3843 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3844
3845 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3846 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3847 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3848 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3849 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3850
3851 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3852 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3853 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3854
3855 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3856 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3857 [Steve Henson]
3858
3859 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3860 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3861 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3862 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3863 biased k.)
3864 [Bodo Moeller]
3865
3866 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3867 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3868 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3869 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3870 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3871
3872 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3873 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3874 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3875 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3876 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3877 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3878
3879 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3880
3881 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3882 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3883 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3884 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3885 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3886 [Bodo Moeller]
3887
3888 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3889 clients need.
3890 [Steve Henson]
3891
3892 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3893 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3894 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3895 [Steve Henson]
3896
3897 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3898 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3899 structures constant.
3900 [Steve Henson]
3901
3902 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3903
3904 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3905 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
3906
3907 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3908 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3909 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3910 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3911 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3912 some needed definitions.
3913 [Steve Henson]
3914
3915 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3916 [Ulf Möller]
3917
3918 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3919 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3920 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3921 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3922 [Richard Levitte]
3923
3924 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3925
3926 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3927 server and client random values. Previously
3928 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3929 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3930
3931 This change has negligible security impact because:
3932
3933 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3934 data.
3935
3936 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3937 handshake.
3938
3939 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3940 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3941 values.
3942
3943 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3944 to our attention.
3945
3946 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3947
3948 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3949 [Ulf Möller]
3950
3951 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3952 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3953 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3954
3955 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3956 [Steve Henson]
3957
3958 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3959 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3960 [Andy Polyakov]
3961
3962 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3963 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3964 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3965
3966 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3967 [Steve Henson]
3968
3969 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3970 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3971 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3972 certificates.
3973 [Steve Henson]
3974
3975 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3976 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3977 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3978 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3979
3980 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3981 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3982 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3983 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3984 been given)
3985 [Richard Levitte]
3986
3987 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3988
3989 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3990 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3991 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3992 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3993 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3994 [Steve Henson]
3995
3996 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3997 [Steve Henson]
3998
3999 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
4000 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4001
4002 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4003 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4004 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4005 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4006 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4007 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4008 rather than being initialized to 1.
4009 [Steve Henson]
4010
4011 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4012
4013 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4014 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4015 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4016
4017 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4018 (CVE-2004-0112)
4019 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4020
4021 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4022 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4023 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4024 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4025 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4026 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4027 [Richard Levitte]
4028
4029 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4030 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4031 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4032 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4033 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4034 for these cases.
4035 [Steve Henson]
4036
4037 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4038 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4039 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4040 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4041 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4042 [Steve Henson]
4043
4044 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4045 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4046 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4047 < 0.9.7.
4048 [Steve Henson]
4049
4050 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4051 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4052
4053 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4054 [Steve Henson]
4055
4056 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4057
4058 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4059
4060 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4061 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4062
4063 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4064
4065 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4066 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4067
4068 [Steve Henson]
4069
4070 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4071 exiting on the first error in a request.
4072 [Steve Henson]
4073
4074 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4075 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4076 specifications.
4077 [Steve Henson]
4078
4079 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4080 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4081 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4082 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4083
4084 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4085 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4086 [Richard Levitte]
4087
4088 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4089 blocks during encryption.
4090 [Richard Levitte]
4091
4092 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4093 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4094 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4095 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4096 certain size.
4097 [Steve Henson]
4098
4099 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4100 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4101 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4102 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4103 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4104 parser.
4105 [Steve Henson]
4106
4107 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4108
4109 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4110 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4111 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4112 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4113 [Bodo Moeller]
4114
4115 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4116 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4117 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4118 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4119 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4120
4121 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4122 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4123 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4124 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4125 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4126 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4127 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4128 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4129 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4130 [Bodo Moeller]
4131
4132 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4133 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4134 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4135 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4136 [Geoff Thorpe]
4137
4138 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4139 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4140 [Ulf Moeller]
4141
4142 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4143
4144 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4145 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4146 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4147 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4148 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4149
4150 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4151 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4152 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4153
4154 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4155 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4156 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4157 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4158 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4159
4160 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4161 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4162 used by default when no-err is given.
4163 [Richard Levitte]
4164
4165 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4166 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4167
4168 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4169 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4170 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4171 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4172 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4173
4174 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4175 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4176 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4177 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4178
4179 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4180
4181 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4182
4183 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4184
4185 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4186 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4187 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4188 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4189 root is omitted).
4190 [Steve Henson]
4191
4192 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4193 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4194
4195 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4196 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4197 [Steve Henson]
4198
4199 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4200 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4201 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4202 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4203 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4204
4205 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4206 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4207 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4208 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4209 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4210 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4211 followup to PR #377.
4212 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4213
4214 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4215 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4216 [Andy Polyakov]
4217
4218 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4219 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4220 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
4221 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
4222
4223 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
4224
4225 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
4226 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
4227
4228 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
4229 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
4230 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
4231 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
4232 client and server.
4233 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4234 PR #377.
4235 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4236
4237 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
4238 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
4239 removed entirely.
4240 [Richard Levitte]
4241
4242 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4243 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4244 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4245 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4246 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4247 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4248 of libcrypto.
4249 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4250 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4251 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4252 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4253 have to be made anyway).
4254 [Richard Levitte]
4255
4256 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4257 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4258 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4259 [Steve Henson]
4260
4261 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4262 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4263 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
4264 [Richard Levitte]
4265
4266 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
4267 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
4268 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4269
4270 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
4271 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
4272 edit numbers of the version.
4273 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4274
4275 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
4276 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
4277 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
4278
4279 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
4280 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4281
4282 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4283 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4284 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4285
4286 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
4287 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4288
4289 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
4290 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4291
4292 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
4293 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4294
4295 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
4296 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4297
4298 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
4299 overflows.
4300 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4301
4302 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
4303 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
4304 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4305
4306 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
4307 representations in a platform independent manner.
4308 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4309
4310 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4311 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4312 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4313
4314 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4315 indents.
4316 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4317
4318 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4319 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4320
4321 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4322 full. Fixed.
4323 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4324
4325 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4326 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4327 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4328
4329 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4330 unconditionally).
4331 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4332
4333 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4334 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4335
4336 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4337 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4338
4339 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4340 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4341
4342 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4343 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4344
4345 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4346 CBCParameter.
4347 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4348
4349 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4350 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4351
4352 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
4353 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4354
4355 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4356 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4357 exploitable.
4358 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4359
4360 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4361 the 0.9.6 release series:
4362
4363 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4364 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4365 (CVE-2002-0657)
4366 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4367
4368 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4369 [Richard Levitte]
4370
4371 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4372 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4373
4374 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4375 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4376
4377 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4378 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4379 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4380 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4381
4382 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4383 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4384 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4385
4386 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4387 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4388 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4389 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4390
4391 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4392 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4393 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4394 some local tweaks:
4395
4396 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4397 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4398 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4399 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4400 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4401 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4402 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4403 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4404 done
4405
4406 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4407 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4408 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4409 [Richard Levitte]
4410
4411 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4412 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4413 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4414 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4415 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4416
4417 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4418 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4419
4420 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4421 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4422 [Richard Levitte]
4423
4424 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4425 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4426 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4427 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4428 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4429 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4430 [Steve Henson]
4431
4432 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4433 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4434 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4435 [Steve Henson]
4436
4437 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4438 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4439 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4440
4441 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4442 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4443 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4444 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4445 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4446 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4447 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4448 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4449
4450 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4451 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4452 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4453 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4454 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4455 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4456 [Steve Henson]
4457
4458 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4459 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4460 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4461 declaration has been changed from
4462 int (*cb)()
4463 into
4464 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4465 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4466 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4467 has been changed into
4468 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4469
4470 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4471 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4472 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4473
4474 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4475 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4476
4477 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4478 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4479 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4480 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4481 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4482 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4483 always load it have also been added.
4484 [Steve Henson]
4485
4486 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4487 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4488 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4489
4490 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4491
4492 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4493 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4494 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4495
4496 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4497 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4498 command line option can be used to specify an
4499 alternative file.
4500 [Steve Henson]
4501
4502 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4503 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4504 [Steve Henson]
4505
4506 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4507 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4508 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4509 [Steve Henson]
4510
4511 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4512 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4513 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4514 to work with the new engine framework.
4515 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4516
4517 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4518 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4519 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4520 to work with the new engine framework.
4521 [Richard Levitte]
4522
4523 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4524 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4525 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4526
4527 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4528 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4529
4530 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4531 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4532 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4533 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4534 FORMAT_IISSGC.
4535 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4536
4537 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4538 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4539
4540 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4541 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4542
4543 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4544 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4545 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4546 [Ben Laurie]
4547
4548 *) Add new functions
4549 ERR_peek_last_error
4550 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4551 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4552 These are similar to
4553 ERR_peek_error
4554 ERR_peek_error_line
4555 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4556 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4557 still in the error queue.
4558 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4559
4560 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4561 like:
4562 default_algorithms = ALL
4563 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4564 [Steve Henson]
4565
4566 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4567 [Steve Henson]
4568
4569 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4570 [Steve Henson]
4571
4572 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4573 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4574 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4575 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4576
4577 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4578 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4579
4580 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4581 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4582
4583 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4584 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4585 [Bodo Moeller]
4586
4587 *) New functions/macros
4588
4589 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4590 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4591 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4592 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4593
4594 to request calling a callback function
4595
4596 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4597 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4598
4599 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4600 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4601 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4602 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4603 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4604 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4605 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4606 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4607 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4608 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4609
4610 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4611 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4612 [Bodo Moeller]
4613
4614 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4615 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4616 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4617 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4618 the configuration scripts.
4619
4620 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4621 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4622 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4623
4624 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4625 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4626
4627 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4628 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4629 when reusing an existing buffer.
4630 [Bodo Moeller]
4631
4632 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4633 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4634 [Steve Henson]
4635
4636 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4637 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4638 [Ben Laurie]
4639
4640 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4641 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4642 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4643 has the same effect.
4644 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4645
4646 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4647 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4648 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4649 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4650 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4651 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4652 exception.
4653
4654 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4655 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4656 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4657 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4658
4659 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4660 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4661 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4662 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4663
4664 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4665 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4666 won't work.
4667
4668 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4669 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4670 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4671 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4672 default), and then completely removed.
4673 [Richard Levitte]
4674
4675 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4676 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4677 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4678 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4679 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4680 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4681 particular extension is supported.
4682 [Steve Henson]
4683
4684 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4685 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4686 [Steve Henson]
4687
4688 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4689 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4690 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4691 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4692 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4693 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4694 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4695 requires the destination to be valid.
4696
4697 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4698 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4699 [Steve Henson]
4700
4701 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4702 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4703 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4704 [Bodo Moeller]
4705
4706 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4707 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4708
4709 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4710 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4711 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4712 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4713 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4714 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4715 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4716 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4717 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4718 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4719 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4720 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4721 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4722 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4723 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4724 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4725 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4726 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4727 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4728 the new code.
4729 [Geoff Thorpe]
4730
4731 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4732 [Steve Henson]
4733
4734 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4735 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4736 become part of libeay.num as well.
4737 [Richard Levitte]
4738
4739 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4740 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4741 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4742 false once a handshake has been completed.
4743 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4744 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4745 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4746 client has followed the request.)
4747 [Bodo Moeller]
4748
4749 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4750 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4751 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4752 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4753
4754 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4755 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4756 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4757 [Bodo Moeller]
4758
4759 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4760 [Steve Henson]
4761
4762 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4763 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4764 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4765 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4766
4767 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4768 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4769 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4770
4771 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4772 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4773 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4774 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4775 [Geoff Thorpe]
4776
4777 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4778 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4779 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4780 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4781 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4782 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4783 [Geoff Thorpe]
4784
4785 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4786 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4787 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4788 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4789 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4790 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4791 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4792 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4793 [Geoff Thorpe]
4794
4795 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4796 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4797 [Geoff Thorpe]
4798
4799 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4800 [Ben Laurie]
4801
4802 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4803 md_data void pointer.
4804 [Ben Laurie]
4805
4806 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4807 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4808 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4809 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4810 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4811 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4812 [Ben Laurie]
4813
4814 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4815 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4816 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4817 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4818 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4819 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4820 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4821 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4822 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4823 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4824 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4825 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4826 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4827 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4828 rather than letting it slide.
4829
4830 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4831 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4832 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4833 [Geoff Thorpe]
4834
4835 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4836 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4837 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4838 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4839 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4840 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4841 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4842 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4843 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4844 [Geoff Thorpe]
4845
4846 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4847 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4848 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4849 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4850 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4851
4852 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4853 [Geoff Thorpe]
4854
4855 *) Add EVP test program.
4856 [Ben Laurie]
4857
4858 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4859 [Ben Laurie]
4860
4861 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4862 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4863 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4864 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4865 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4866 [Steve Henson]
4867
4868 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4869 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4870 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4871 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4872 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4873 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4874 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4875
4876 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4877 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4878 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4879 Usage example:
4880
4881 EVP_MD_CTX md;
4882
4883 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4884 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4885 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4886 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4887 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4888
4889 [Ben Laurie]
4890
4891 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4892 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4893 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4894 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4895 anyway): E.g.,
4896
4897 des_key_schedule ks;
4898
4899 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4900 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4901
4902 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4903 [Ben Laurie]
4904
4905 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4906 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4907 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4908 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4909 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4910 functions prevents this.
4911 [Steve Henson]
4912
4913 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4914 [Ben Laurie]
4915
4916 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4917 correct _ecb suffix.
4918 [Ben Laurie]
4919
4920 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4921 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4922 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4923 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4924 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4925 [Steve Henson]
4926
4927 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4928 [Richard Levitte]
4929
4930 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4931 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4932 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4933 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4934
4935 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4936 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4937
4938 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
4939 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4940 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4941 via Richard Levitte]
4942
4943 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4944 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4945 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4946 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4947 [Geoff Thorpe]
4948
4949 *) Speed up EVP routines.
4950 Before:
4951 encrypt
4952 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
4953 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
4954 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
4955 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
4956 decrypt
4957 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
4958 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
4959 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
4960 After:
4961 encrypt
4962 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
4963 decrypt
4964 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
4965 [Ben Laurie]
4966
4967 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4968 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4969
4970 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4971 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4972 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4973 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4974 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4975 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4976 [Steve Henson]
4977
4978 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4979 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4980 [Richard Levitte]
4981
4982 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4983 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4984 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4985 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4986
4987 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4988 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4989 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4990 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4991 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4992 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4993 callback.
4994 [Richard Levitte]
4995
4996 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4997 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4998 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4999 and interrupts/cancellations.
5000 [Richard Levitte]
5001
5002 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
5003 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5004 [Steve Henson]
5005
5006 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5007 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5008 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5009
5010 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5011 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5012 kind of callback.
5013 [Richard Levitte]
5014
5015 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5016 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5017 than this minimum value is recommended.
5018 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5019
5020 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5021 that are easily reachable.
5022 [Richard Levitte]
5023
5024 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5025 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5026
5027 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5028
5029 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5030 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5031 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5032 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5033 [Steve Henson]
5034
5035 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5036 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5037 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5038 [Steve Henson]
5039
5040 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5041 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5042 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5043 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5044 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5045 internally such as S/MIME.
5046
5047 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5048 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5049 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5050
5051 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5052 applications.
5053 [Steve Henson]
5054
5055 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5056 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5057 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5058 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5059
5060 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5061
5062 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5063
5064 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5065 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5066 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5067 handling.
5068 [Steve Henson]
5069
5070 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5071 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5072 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5073 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5074 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5075 a window system and the like.
5076 [Richard Levitte]
5077
5078 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5079 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5080 [Geoff]
5081
5082 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5083 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5084 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5085 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5086 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5087 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5088 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5089 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5090 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5091 ENGINE structure.
5092 [Geoff]
5093
5094 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5095 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5096 tag cache.
5097 [Steve Henson]
5098
5099 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5100 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5101 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5102 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5103 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
5104 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
5105 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
5106 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
5107 [Geoff]
5108
5109 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
5110 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
5111 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
5112 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
5113 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
5114 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
5115 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
5116 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
5117 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
5118 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
5119 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
5120 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
5121 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
5122 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
5123 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
5124 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
5125 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
5126 [Geoff]
5127
5128 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
5129 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
5130 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
5131 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
5132 internal engine_int.h header.
5133 [Geoff]
5134
5135 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
5136 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
5137 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
5138 modify their own ones).
5139 [Geoff]
5140
5141 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5142 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5143 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5144 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5145 later on via ctrl() commands.
5146 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5147 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5148 structural references.
5149 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5150 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5151 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5152 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5153 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5154 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5155 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5156 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5157 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5158 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5159 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5160 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5161 [Geoff]
5162
5163 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5164 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5165 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5166 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5167 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5168 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5169 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5170 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5171 [Bodo Moeller]
5172
5173 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5174 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5175 [Steve Henson]
5176
5177 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5178 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5179 [Steve Henson]
5180
5181 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5182 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5183 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5184 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5185 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5186 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5187 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5188 [Steve Henson]
5189
5190 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5191 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5192 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5193 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5194 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5195
5196 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5197 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5198 generator).
5199 [Bodo Moeller]
5200
5201 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5202
5203 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5204 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5205 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5206
5207 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5208 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5209
5210 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5211 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5212 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5213
5214 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5215 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5216
5217 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5218 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5219
5220 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5221
5222 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5223 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5224 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5225 [Bodo Moeller]
5226
5227 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5228 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5229 [Richard Levitte]
5230
5231 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5232 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5233 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5234 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5235 is 40 of more characters long.
5236 [Steve Henson]
5237
5238 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5239 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5240 pointers.
5241 [Steve Henson]
5242
5243 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5244 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5245 [Bodo Moeller]
5246
5247 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5248 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5249 might.
5250 [Steve Henson]
5251
5252 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5253
5254 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5255 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5256
5257 ASN1 error codes
5258 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5259 ...
5260 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5261 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5262 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5263 ...
5264 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5265 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5266
5267 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5268 [Bodo Moeller]
5269
5270 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5271 suffices.
5272 [Bodo Moeller]
5273
5274 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5275 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5276 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5277 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5278 and
5279 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5280
5281 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5282 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5283
5284 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5285 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5286 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5287 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5288 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5289 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5290
5291 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5292 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5293
5294 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5295 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5296
5297 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5298 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5299
5300 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5301 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5302 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5303 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5304
5305 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5306 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5307
5308 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5309 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5310
5311 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5312 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5313 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5314 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5315 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5316 [Richard Levitte]
5317
5318 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5319 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5320 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5321 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5322 [Steve Henson]
5323
5324 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5325 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5326 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5327 trust settings.
5328 [Steve Henson]
5329
5330 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5331 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5332 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5333 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5334 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5335 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5336 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5337 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5338 ocsp utility.
5339 [Steve Henson]
5340
5341 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5342 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5343 [Steve Henson]
5344
5345 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5346 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5347 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5348 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5349 [Steve Henson]
5350
5351 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5352 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5353 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5354 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5355 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5356 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5357 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5358 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5359 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5360 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5361 [Steve Henson]
5362
5363 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5364 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5365 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5366 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5367 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5368 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5369 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5370 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5371
5372 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5373 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5374 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5375 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5376 [Richard Levitte]
5377
5378 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5379 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5380 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5381 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5382 opensslconf.h.
5383 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5384 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5385 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5386 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5387 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5388 what is available.
5389 [Richard Levitte]
5390
5391 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5392 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5393 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5394 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5395 auto incremented.
5396 [Steve Henson]
5397
5398 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5399 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5400 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5401 [Steve Henson]
5402
5403 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5404 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5405 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5406 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5407 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5408 [Steve Henson]
5409
5410 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5411 [Steve Henson]
5412
5413 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5414 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5415 option to ocsp utility.
5416 [Steve Henson]
5417
5418 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5419 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5420 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5421 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5422 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5423 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5424 the request is nonce-less.
5425 [Steve Henson]
5426
5427 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5428 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5429 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5430 [Bodo Moeller]
5431
5432 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5433 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5434 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5435 [Steve Henson]
5436
5437 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5438 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5439 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5440 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5441 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5442 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5443
5444 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5445 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5446 appear to exist.
5447 [Steve Henson]
5448
5449 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5450 additional certificates supplied.
5451 [Steve Henson]
5452
5453 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5454 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5455 signature against.
5456 [Richard Levitte]
5457
5458 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5459 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5460 AES OIDs.
5461
5462 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5463 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5464 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5465 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5466 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5467 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5468 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5469 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5470 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5471
5472 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5473 request to response.
5474 [Steve Henson]
5475
5476 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5477 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5478 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5479 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5480 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5481 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5482 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5483 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5484 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5485 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5486 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5487 [Steve Henson]
5488
5489 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5490 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5491 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5492 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5493 [Steve Henson]
5494
5495 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5496 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5497
5498 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5499 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5500 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5501 [Steve Henson]
5502
5503 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5504 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5505 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5506 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5507 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5508
5509 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5510 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5511 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5512 [Steve Henson]
5513
5514 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5515 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5516 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5517 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5518 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5519 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5520 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5521 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5522
5523 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5524 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5525 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5526 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5527 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5528 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5529 [Steve Henson]
5530
5531 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5532 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5533 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5534 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5535 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5536 printout format cleaned up.
5537 [Steve Henson]
5538
5539 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5540 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5541 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5542 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5543 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5544 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5545 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5546 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5547 [Steve Henson]
5548
5549 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5550 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5551 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5552 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5553 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5554 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5555 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5556 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5557 [Steve Henson]
5558
5559 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5560 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5561 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5562 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5563 section to use.
5564 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5565
5566 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5567 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5568 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5569 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5570 [Steve Henson]
5571
5572 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5573 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5574 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5575 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5576 in the index file.
5577 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5578
5579 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5580 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5581 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5582 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5583
5584 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5585 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5586
5587 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5588 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5589 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5590 [Steve Henson]
5591
5592 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5593 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5594 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5595 [Bodo Moeller]
5596
5597 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5598 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5599 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5600 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5601 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5602 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5603 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5604 functions are provided:
5605
5606 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5607 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5608 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5609 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5610
5611 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5612 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5613 extended allocation function is enabled.
5614 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5615 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5616 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5617
5618 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5619 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5620 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5621 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5622 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5623 [Geoff Thorpe]
5624
5625 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5626 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5627 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5628 be queried.
5629 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5630 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5631 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5632 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5633
5634 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5635 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5636 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5637 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5638 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5639 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5640 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5641 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5642 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5643 [Richard Levitte]
5644
5645 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5646 provide utility functions which an application needing
5647 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5648 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5649 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5650
5651 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5652 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5653 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5654 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5655 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5656 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5657 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5658 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5659 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5660
5661 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5662 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5663 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5664 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5665 [Steve Henson]
5666
5667 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5668 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5669 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5670 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5671 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5672 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5673 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5674 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5675 will be added elsewhere.
5676 [Steve Henson]
5677
5678 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5679 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5680 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5681 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5682 [Steve Henson]
5683
5684 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5685 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5686 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5687 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5688 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5689 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5690 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5691 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5692 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5693 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5694 to produce the required SET OF.
5695 [Steve Henson]
5696
5697 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5698 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5699 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5700 [Richard Levitte]
5701
5702 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5703 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5704 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5705 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5706 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5707 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5708 [Steve Henson]
5709
5710 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5711 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5712 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5713 [Steve Henson]
5714
5715 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5716 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5717 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5718 [Richard Levitte]
5719
5720 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5721 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5722 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5723 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5724 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5725 [Steve Henson]
5726
5727 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5728 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5729 [Steve Henson]
5730
5731 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5732 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5733 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5734 certifcates and CRLs.
5735 [Steve Henson]
5736
5737 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5738 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5739 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5740 [Steve Henson]
5741
5742 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5743 entries for variables.
5744 [Steve Henson]
5745
5746 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5747 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5748 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5749 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5750 [Bodo Moeller]
5751
5752 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5753 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5754 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5755 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5756 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5757 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5758 [Bodo Moeller]
5759
5760 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5761 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5762
5763 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5764 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5765 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5766 [Steve Henson]
5767
5768 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5769 print routines.
5770 [Steve Henson]
5771
5772 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5773 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5774 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5775 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5776 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5777 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5778 [Steve Henson]
5779
5780 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5781 [Steve Henson]
5782
5783 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5784 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5785 for now but they will eventually go away.
5786 [Steve Henson]
5787
5788 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5789 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5790 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5791 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5792 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5793 has also been converted to the new form.
5794 [Steve Henson]
5795
5796 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5797 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5798 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5799 for negative moduli.
5800 [Bodo Moeller]
5801
5802 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5803 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5804 [Bodo Moeller]
5805
5806 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5807 set.
5808 [Bodo Moeller]
5809
5810 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5811 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5812 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5813 type-specific callbacks.
5814 [Geoff Thorpe]
5815
5816 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5817 RFC 2712.
5818 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5819 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5820
5821 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5822 in sections depending on the subject.
5823 [Richard Levitte]
5824
5825 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5826 Windows.
5827 [Richard Levitte]
5828
5829 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5830 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5831 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5832 be handled deterministically).
5833 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5834
5835 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5836 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5837 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5838 [Bodo Moeller]
5839
5840 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5841 [Bodo Moeller]
5842
5843 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5844 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5845 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5846 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5847 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5848 [Bodo Moeller]
5849
5850 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5851 sign of the number in question.
5852
5853 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5854
5855 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5856 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5857 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5858 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5859 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5860 [Bodo Moeller]
5861
5862 *) New function BN_swap.
5863 [Bodo Moeller]
5864
5865 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5866 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5867 results on negative inputs.
5868 [Bodo Moeller]
5869
5870 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5871 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5872 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5873 [Bodo Moeller]
5874
5875 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5876 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5877 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5878 and add new functions:
5879
5880 BN_nnmod
5881 BN_mod_sqr
5882 BN_mod_add
5883 BN_mod_add_quick
5884 BN_mod_sub
5885 BN_mod_sub_quick
5886 BN_mod_lshift1
5887 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5888 BN_mod_lshift
5889 BN_mod_lshift_quick
5890
5891 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5892
5893 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5894 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5895
5896 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5897 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5898 be reduced modulo m.
5899 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5900
5901 #if 0
5902 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5903 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5904 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5905
5906 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5907 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5908 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5909 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5910 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5911 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5912 differing sizes.
5913 [Richard Levitte]
5914 #endif
5915
5916 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5917 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5918 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5919 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5920 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5921
5922 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5923 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5924 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5925 cause any problems.
5926 [Bodo Moeller]
5927
5928 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5929 [Richard Levitte]
5930
5931 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5932 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5933 [Richard Levitte]
5934
5935 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5936 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5937 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5938 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5939 time)
5940 [Richard Levitte]
5941
5942 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5943 [Richard Levitte]
5944
5945 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5946 [Richard Levitte]
5947
5948 *) Add the following functions:
5949
5950 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5951 ENGINE_load_chil()
5952 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5953 ENGINE_load_nuron()
5954 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5955
5956 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5957 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5958 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5959 libraries unless it's really needed.
5960
5961 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5962 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5963 declarations (they differed!).
5964 [Richard Levitte]
5965
5966 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5967 [Richard Levitte]
5968
5969 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5970 [Richard Levitte]
5971
5972 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5973 [Bodo Moeller]
5974
5975 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5976 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5977 [Richard Levitte]
5978
5979 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5980 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5981 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5982
5983 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5984 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5985 [Richard Levitte]
5986
5987 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5988 [Richard Levitte]
5989
5990 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5991 [Richard Levitte]
5992
5993 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5994 [Ben Laurie]
5995
5996 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5997 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5998 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5999
6000 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
6001 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
6002 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
6003 different shared library filenames on each system.
6004 [Geoff Thorpe]
6005
6006 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6007 [Richard Levitte]
6008
6009 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6010 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6011 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6012 of two sections.
6013 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6014
6015 *) NCONF changes.
6016 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6017 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6018 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6019 binary backward compatibility.
6020 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6021 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6022 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6023 LDAP server.
6024 [Richard Levitte]
6025
6026 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6027 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6028 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6029 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6030 this case.
6031 [Steve Henson]
6032
6033 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6034 [Ben Laurie]
6035
6036 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6037 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6038 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6039 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6040 set.
6041 [Steve Henson]
6042
6043 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6044 [Richard Levitte]
6045
6046 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6047
6048 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6049 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6050 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6051
6052 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6053
6054 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6055
6056 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6057 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6058 [Steve Henson]
6059
6060 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6061
6062 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6063
6064 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6065 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6066
6067 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6068 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6069
6070 [Steve Henson]
6071
6072 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6073 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6074 specifications.
6075 [Steve Henson]
6076
6077 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6078 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6079 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6080 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6081
6082 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6083 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6084 [Richard Levitte]
6085
6086 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6087
6088 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6089 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6090 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6091 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6092 [Bodo Moeller]
6093
6094 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6095 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6096 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6097 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6098 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6099
6100 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6101 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6102 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6103 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6104 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6105 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6106 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6107 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6108 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6109 [Bodo Moeller]
6110
6111 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
6112
6113 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6114 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
6115 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6116 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6117 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6118
6119 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6120 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6121 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6122
6123 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
6124
6125 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
6126 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
6127 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
6128 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
6129 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
6130 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
6131 [Geoff Thorpe]
6132
6133 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
6134 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
6135 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
6136 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
6137 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6138 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6139
6140 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6141 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6142 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6143
6144 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6145 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6146 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6147 EVP_cleanup().
6148 [Richard Levitte]
6149
6150 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6151 being properly terminated.
6152 [Richard Levitte]
6153
6154 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6155 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6156 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6157 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6158
6159 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6160 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6161 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6162 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6163 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6164 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6165 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6166 change.
6167 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6168
6169 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6170 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6171 [Bodo Moeller]
6172
6173 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6174 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6175 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6176 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6177 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6178 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6179 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6180 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6181
6182 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6183 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6184 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6185 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6186 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6187
6188 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6189 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6190 [Steve Henson]
6191
6192 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6193
6194 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6195 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6196 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6197
6198 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6199
6200 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6201 and get fix the header length calculation.
6202 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6203 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6204 Steve Henson]
6205
6206 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6207 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6208 assertions could call abort()).
6209 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6210
6211 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6212
6213 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6214 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6215 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6216 supplied buffer.
6217 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6218
6219 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6220 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6221 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6222 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6223
6224 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6225 [Nils Larsch]
6226
6227 *) New option
6228 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6229 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6230 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6231
6232 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6233 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6234 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6235 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6236 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6237 applications.
6238 [Bodo Moeller]
6239
6240 *) Changes in security patch:
6241
6242 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6243 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6244 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6245 F30602-01-2-0537.
6246
6247 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6248 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6249 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6250 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6251 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6252
6253 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6254 happen in practice.
6255 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6256
6257 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6258 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6259 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6260
6261 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6262 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6263 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6264
6265 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6266 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6267 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6268
6269 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6270
6271 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6272 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6273 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6274
6275 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6276 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6277
6278 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6279 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6280 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6281 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6282 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6283 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6284 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6285
6286 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6287 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6288 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6289 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6290 [Bodo Moeller]
6291
6292 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6293 [Bodo Moeller]
6294
6295 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6296 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6297 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6298 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6299 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6300 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6301
6302 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6303 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6304 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6305 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6306 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6307 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6308
6309 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6310 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6311 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6312 BN_generate_prime().)
6313
6314 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6315 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6316 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6317 better.
6318 [Bodo Moeller]
6319
6320 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6321 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6322 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6323
6324 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6325 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6326 when using non-blocking I/O.
6327 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6328
6329 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6330 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6331
6332 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6333 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6334 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6335
6336 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6337 configuration for the versions before that.
6338 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6339
6340 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6341 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6342 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6343 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6344 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6345
6346 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6347 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6348 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6349 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6350
6351 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6352 value is 0.
6353 [Richard Levitte]
6354
6355 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6356 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6357 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6358
6359 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6360 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6361
6362 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6363 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6364 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6365 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6366 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6367 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6368 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6369 session cache.
6370
6371 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6372 using a local variable.
6373 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6374
6375 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6376 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6377 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6378
6379 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6380 [Richard Levitte]
6381
6382 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6383 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6384
6385 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6386 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6387 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6388
6389 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6390
6391 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6392 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6393 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6394 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6395 [Bodo Moeller]
6396
6397 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6398 present.
6399 [Steve Henson]
6400
6401 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6402 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6403 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6404 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6405 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6406
6407 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6408 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6409 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6410
6411 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6412 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6413 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6414
6415 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6416 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6417 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6418 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6419
6420 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6421 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6422 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6423 modules).
6424 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6425
6426 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6427 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6428 from 0.9.7.
6429 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6430
6431 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6432 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6433 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6434 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6435
6436 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6437 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6438 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6439 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
6440
6441 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
6442 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6443
6444 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6445 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6446 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6447 [Bodo Moeller]
6448
6449 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6450 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6451 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6452 become invalid.
6453 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6454
6455 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6456 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6457 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6458 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6459 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6460 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6461 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6462 [Bodo Moeller]
6463
6464 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6465 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6466 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6467 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6468
6469 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6470 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6471 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6472 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6473 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6474 the client will at least see that alert.
6475 [Bodo Moeller]
6476
6477 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6478 correctly.
6479 [Bodo Moeller]
6480
6481 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6482 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6483 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6484
6485 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6486 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
6487 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6488 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6489 HelloRequest.
6490
6491 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6492 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6493 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6494
6495 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6496 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6497 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6498 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6499 may leak via logfiles.)
6500
6501 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6502 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6503 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6504 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6505 the legal range.
6506 [Bodo Moeller]
6507
6508 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6509 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6510 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6511
6512 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6513 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6514 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6515 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6516 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6517 [Bodo Moeller]
6518
6519 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6520 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6521
6522 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6523 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6524 followed by modular reduction.
6525 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6526
6527 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6528 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6529 [Bodo Moeller]
6530
6531 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6532 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6533 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6534 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6535 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6536
6537 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6538 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6539
6540 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6541 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6542 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6543
6544 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6545 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6546 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6547 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6548 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6549 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6550 automatically.
6551 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6552
6553 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6554 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6555 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6556 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6557 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6558
6559 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6560 [Andy Polyakov]
6561
6562 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6563 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6564 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6565 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6566 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6567 to allow the necessary settings.
6568 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6569
6570 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6571 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6572 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6573 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6574 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6575
6576 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6577 dh->length and always used
6578
6579 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6580
6581 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6582 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6583 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6584 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6585 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6586 dh->length.
6587
6588 So switch back to
6589
6590 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6591
6592 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6593 otherwise.
6594 [Bodo Moeller]
6595
6596 *) In
6597
6598 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6599 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6600 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6601 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6602
6603 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6604 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6605 always reject numbers >= n.
6606 [Bodo Moeller]
6607
6608 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6609 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6610 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6611 variable) is not atomic.
6612 [Bodo Moeller]
6613
6614 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6615 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6616 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6617 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6618
6619 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6620 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6621
6622 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6623 little-endian MIPS.
6624 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6625
6626 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6627 [Richard Levitte]
6628
6629 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6630
6631 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6632 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6633 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6634 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6635 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6636 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6637 to traverse all of 'state'.
6638
6639 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6640 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6641 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6642
6643 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6644 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6645
6646 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6647 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6648 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6649 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6650 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6651 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6652 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6653 further strengthens the PRNG.
6654 [Bodo Moeller]
6655
6656 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6657 [Andy Polyakov]
6658
6659 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6660 an error message in this case.
6661 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6662
6663 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6664 [Steve Henson]
6665
6666 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6667 positive and less than q.
6668 [Bodo Moeller]
6669
6670 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6671 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6672 that itself.
6673 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6674
6675 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6676 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6677 [Bodo Moeller]
6678
6679 *) Fix OAEP check.
6680 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6681
6682 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6683 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6684 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6685 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6686 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6687 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6688 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6689 paper.)
6690
6691 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6692 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6693 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6694 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6695
6696 Both problems are now fixed.
6697 [Bodo Moeller]
6698
6699 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6700 (previously it was 1024).
6701 [Bodo Moeller]
6702
6703 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6704 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6705 [Steve Henson]
6706
6707 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6708 [Steve Henson]
6709
6710 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6711 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6712 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6713 [Steve Henson]
6714
6715 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6716 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6717 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6718 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6719 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6720 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6721 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6722 environment variables.
6723
6724 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6725 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6726 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6727 [Bodo Moeller]
6728
6729 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6730 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6731 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6732 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6733 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6734 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6735 [Bodo Moeller]
6736
6737 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6738 versions of 'test'.
6739 [Bodo Moeller]
6740
6741 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6742
6743 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6744 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6745
6746 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6747 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6748 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6749 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6750 CygWin.
6751 [Richard Levitte]
6752
6753 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6754 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6755 amount of data available.
6756 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6757 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6758
6759 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6760 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6761 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6762 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6763 [Bodo Moeller]
6764
6765 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6766 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6767 and UnixWare.
6768 [Richard Levitte]
6769
6770 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6771 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6772 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6773 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6774 [Ulf Moeller]
6775
6776 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6777 [Andy Polyakov]
6778
6779 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6780 [Richard Levitte]
6781
6782 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6783 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6784 [Steve Henson]
6785 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6786
6787 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6788 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6789 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6790 (but broken) behaviour.
6791 [Steve Henson]
6792
6793 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6794 it when found.
6795 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6796
6797 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6798 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6799 [Bodo Moeller]
6800
6801 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6802 did not exist.
6803 [Bodo Moeller]
6804
6805 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6806 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6807
6808 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6809 [Richard Levitte]
6810
6811 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6812 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6813 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6814
6815 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6816 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6817 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6818 [Steve Henson]
6819
6820 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6821 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6822 [Ulf Moeller]
6823
6824 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6825 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6826
6827 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6828
6829 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6830
6831 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6832 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6833 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6834 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6835 [Bodo Moeller]
6836
6837 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6838 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6839
6840 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6841 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6842 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6843
6844 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6845 was empty.
6846 [Steve Henson]
6847 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6848
6849 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6850 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6851 but the code is actually correct.
6852 [Steve Henson]
6853
6854 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6855 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6856 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6857 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6858 and leaves the highest bit random.
6859 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6860
6861 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6862 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6863 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6864 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6865 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6866 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6867 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6868 [Bodo Moeller]
6869
6870 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6871 [Ulf Moeller]
6872
6873 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6874 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6875 [Steve Henson]
6876
6877 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6878 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6879 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6880 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6881 headers.
6882 [Richard Levitte]
6883
6884 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6885 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6886 and break the signature.
6887 [Steve Henson]
6888 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6889
6890 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6891 DH ciphersuites.
6892 [Steve Henson]
6893
6894 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6895 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6896 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6897 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6898 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6899 [Bodo Moeller]
6900
6901 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6902 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6903
6904 *) ./config script fixes.
6905 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6906
6907 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6908 [Bodo Moeller]
6909
6910 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6911 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6912 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6913 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6914 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6915
6916 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6917 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6918 [Bodo Moeller]
6919
6920 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6921 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6922 [Steve Henson]
6923
6924 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6925 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6926 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6927 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6928
6929 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6930 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6931
6932 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6933 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6934 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6935 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6936 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6937
6938 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6939 [Bodo Moeller]
6940
6941 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6942 [Ulf Möller]
6943
6944 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6945 [Ulf Möller]
6946
6947 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6948 [Bodo Moeller]
6949
6950 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6951 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6952 [Bodo Moeller]
6953
6954 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6955 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6956 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6957 result of the server certificate verification.)
6958 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6959
6960 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6961 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6962 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6963 [Bodo Moeller]
6964
6965 *) Fix SSL_peek:
6966 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6967 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6968 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6969 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6970 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6971 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6972 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6973 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6974 [Bodo Moeller]
6975
6976 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6977 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6978 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6979 happening the other way round.
6980 [Geoff Thorpe]
6981
6982 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6983 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6984 [Bodo Moeller]
6985
6986 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6987 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6988 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6989 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6990 [Richard Levitte]
6991
6992 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6993 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6994
6995 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6996
6997 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6998 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6999 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
7000 that.
7001
7002 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
7003
7004 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7005
7006 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7007 static ones.
7008 [Richard Levitte]
7009
7010 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7011
7012 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7013 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7014 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7015 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7016 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7017
7018 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7019 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
7020 matter what.
7021 [Richard Levitte]
7022
7023 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7024 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7025
7026 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7027
7028 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7029 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7030 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7031 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7032 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7033 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7034 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7035 by the Finished messages.
7036 [Bodo Moeller]
7037
7038 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7039 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7040
7041 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7042 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7043 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7044 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7045 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7046 appropriately.
7047 [Steve Henson]
7048
7049 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7050 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7051 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7052 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7053 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7054 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7055 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7056 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7057 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7058 together.
7059 [Steve Henson]
7060
7061 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7062 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7063 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7064 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7065
7066 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7067 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7068 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7069 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7070 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7071 the answer.
7072
7073 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7074 been tested well enough.
7075 [Richard Levitte]
7076
7077 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7078 it can return incorrect results.
7079 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7080 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7081 [Bodo Moeller]
7082
7083 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7084 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7085 include zero length content when signing messages.
7086 [Steve Henson]
7087
7088 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7089 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7090 [Bodo Möller]
7091
7092 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7093 [Richard Levitte]
7094
7095 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7096 wrong sign.
7097 [Ulf Möller]
7098
7099 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7100 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7101 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7102 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7103 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
7104 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
7105 [Richard Levitte]
7106
7107 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
7108 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7109
7110 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
7111 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
7112
7113 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
7114 random number < q in the DSA library.
7115 [Ulf Möller]
7116
7117 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
7118 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
7119 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
7120 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
7121 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
7122 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
7123 just makes things more complicated.)
7124 [Bodo Moeller]
7125
7126 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
7127 from EGD.
7128 [Ben Laurie]
7129
7130 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
7131 work better on such systems.
7132 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7133
7134 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
7135 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
7136 keyid to the certificates aux info.
7137 [Steve Henson]
7138
7139 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7140 if there was more than one signature.
7141 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7142
7143 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7144 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
7145 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7146 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7147 [Richard Levitte]
7148
7149 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7150 rather than always using the current time.
7151 [Steve Henson]
7152
7153 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7154 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7155 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7156 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7157 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7158 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7159
7160 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7161 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7162
7163 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7164
7165 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7166 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7167 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7168 the same hash value.
7169
7170 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7171 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7172 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7173 with X509_STORE internally.
7174
7175 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7176 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7177
7178 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7179 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7180 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7181 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7182 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7183 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7184 entirely (maybe later...).
7185
7186 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7187
7188 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7189 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7190 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7191 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7192 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7193 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7194 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7195 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7196
7197 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7198 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7199
7200 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7201 to customise the verify behaviour.
7202 [Steve Henson]
7203
7204 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7205 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7206 [Steve Henson]
7207
7208 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7209 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7210 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7211 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7212 request is improperly encoded.
7213 [Steve Henson]
7214
7215 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7216 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7217 BIO_write(b, ...).
7218
7219 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7220 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7221
7222 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7223 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7224 words set to zero.)
7225 [Bodo Moeller]
7226
7227 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7228 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7229 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7230 [Bodo Moeller]
7231
7232 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7233 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7234 BIO/fp routines also added.
7235 [Steve Henson]
7236
7237 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7238 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7239
7240 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7241 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7242 demos/state_machine.
7243 [Ben Laurie]
7244
7245 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7246 generation and verification.
7247 [Steve Henson]
7248
7249 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7250 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7251 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7252 encode and decode it manually.
7253 [Steve Henson]
7254
7255 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7256 compile under VC++.
7257 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7258
7259 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7260 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7261 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7262 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7263
7264 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7265 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7266 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7267 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7268 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7269 [Steve Henson]
7270
7271 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7272 [Richard Levitte]
7273
7274 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7275 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7276 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7277
7278 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7279 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7280 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7281 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7282 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7283 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7284 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7285 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7286
7287 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7288 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7289
7290 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7291
7292 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7293 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7294 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7295
7296 [Richard Levitte]
7297
7298 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7299 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7300 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7301 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7302 [Richard Levitte]
7303
7304 *) MD4 implemented.
7305 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7306
7307 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7308 [Richard Levitte]
7309
7310 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7311 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7312 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7313 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7314 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7315 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7316 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7317 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7318 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7319 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7320 short or long names are found.
7321 [Steve Henson]
7322
7323 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7324 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7325
7326 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7327 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7328 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7329 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7330
7331 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7332 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7333 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7334 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7335 [Bodo Moeller]
7336
7337 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7338 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7339 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7340 [Richard Levitte]
7341
7342 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7343 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7344 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7345 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7346 to allow the various flags to be set.
7347 [Steve Henson]
7348
7349 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7350 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7351 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7352 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7353 dates to be checked.
7354 [Steve Henson]
7355
7356 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7357 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7358 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7359 [Steve Henson]
7360
7361 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7362 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7363 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7364 [Steve Henson]
7365
7366 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7367 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7368 [Bodo Moeller]
7369
7370 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7371 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7372 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7373 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7374 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7375 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7376 [Richard Levitte]
7377
7378 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7379 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7380 Random Numbers.
7381 [Ulf Möller]
7382
7383 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7384 DSA key.
7385 [Steve Henson]
7386
7387 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7388 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7389 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7390 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7391 form signing output easier to verify.
7392 [Steve Henson]
7393
7394 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7395 [Steve Henson]
7396
7397 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7398 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7399 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7400 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7401 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7402 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7403 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7404 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7405 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7406 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7407 [Steve Henson]
7408
7409 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7410
7411 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7412 the syntax given in objects.README.
7413 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7414 obj_mac.h.
7415 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7416 obj_mac.h.
7417
7418 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7419 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7420 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7421 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7422 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7423 consistent name changes.
7424 [Richard Levitte]
7425
7426 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7427 [Bodo Moeller]
7428
7429 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7430 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7431 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7432 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7433 [Richard Levitte]
7434
7435 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7436 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7437 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7438 of safestack.h .
7439 [Steve Henson]
7440
7441 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7442 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7443 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7444 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7445 [Steve Henson]
7446
7447 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7448 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7449 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7450 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7451 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7452 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7453 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7454 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7455 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7456 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7457 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7458 [Steve Henson]
7459
7460 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7461 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7462 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7463 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
7464 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7465 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7466 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7467 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7468 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7469 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7470 [Steve Henson]
7471
7472 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7473 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7474 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7475 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7476
7477 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7478 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7479 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7480 omit any duplicate addresses.
7481 [Steve Henson]
7482
7483 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7484 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7485 [Bodo Moeller]
7486
7487 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7488 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7489 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7490 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7491 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7492 [Bodo Moeller]
7493
7494 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7495 software:
7496 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7497 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7498 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7499 Free => OPENSSL_free
7500 [Richard Levitte]
7501
7502 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7503 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7504 [Bodo Moeller]
7505
7506 *) CygWin32 support.
7507 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7508
7509 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7510 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7511 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7512 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7513 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7514 approach.
7515 [Geoff Thorpe]
7516
7517 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7518 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7519 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7520 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7521 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7522 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7523 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7524 [Geoff Thorpe]
7525
7526 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7527 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7528 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7529 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7530 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7531 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7532 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7533 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7534 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7535 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7536 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7537 [Bodo Moeller]
7538
7539 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7540 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7541 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7542 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7543 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7544
7545 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7546 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7547 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7548 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7549 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7550
7551 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7552 ciphers.
7553
7554 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7555 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7556 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7557 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7558
7559 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7560
7561 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7562 of macros.
7563
7564 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7565 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7566 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7567 flags.
7568
7569 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7570 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7571 any installed hardware versions can.
7572 [Steve Henson]
7573
7574 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7575 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7576 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7577 number.
7578 [Bodo Moeller]
7579
7580 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7581 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7582 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7583 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7584 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7585
7586 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7587 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7588 [Steve Henson]
7589
7590 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7591 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7592 [Richard Levitte]
7593
7594 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7595 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7596 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7597 features.
7598 [Steve Henson]
7599
7600 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7601 [Ulf Möller]
7602
7603 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7604 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7605 but no ssl client purpose.
7606 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7607
7608 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7609 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7610 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7611 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7612 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7613 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7614 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7615 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7616 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7617 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7618 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7619 [Steve Henson]
7620
7621 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7622 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7623 be obtained from the error queue.
7624 [Bodo Moeller]
7625
7626 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7627 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7628 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7629 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7630 [Bodo Moeller]
7631
7632 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7633 [Ulf Möller]
7634
7635 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7636 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7637 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7638 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7639 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7640 [Geoff Thorpe]
7641
7642 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7643 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7644 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7645 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7646 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7647 [Geoff Thorpe]
7648
7649 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7650 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7651 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7652 may not be NULL.
7653 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7654
7655 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7656 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7657 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7658 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7659 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7660 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7661 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7662 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7663 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7664 or "the configuration storage API"...
7665
7666 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7667
7668 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7669 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7670
7671 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7672
7673 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7674
7675 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7676 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7677 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7678 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7679 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7680 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7681 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7682
7683 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7684 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7685 [Richard Levitte]
7686
7687 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7688 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7689 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7690 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7691 [Bodo Moeller]
7692
7693 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7694 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7695 them in a portable way.
7696 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7697
7698 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7699
7700 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7701
7702 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7703 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7704
7705 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7706 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7707 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7708 <attili@amaxo.com>]
7709
7710 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7711 was larger than the MD block size.
7712 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7713
7714 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7715 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7716 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7717 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7718 components.
7719 [Steve Henson]
7720
7721 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7722 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7723 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7724
7725 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7726 discouraged.
7727 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7728
7729 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7730 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7731 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7732 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7733 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7734 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7735
7736 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7737 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7738
7739 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7740 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7741 [Bodo Moeller]
7742
7743 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7744 [Bodo Moeller]
7745
7746 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7747 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7748 its own key.
7749 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7750 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7751 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7752 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7753 [Bodo Moeller]
7754
7755 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7756 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7757 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7758 does not suppress any output.
7759 [Richard Levitte]
7760
7761 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7762 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7763 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7764 with all the associated security issues.
7765
7766 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7767 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7768 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7769 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7770 use the value in the default purpose.
7771 [Steve Henson]
7772
7773 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7774 and fix a memory leak.
7775 [Steve Henson]
7776
7777 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7778 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7779 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7780 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7781 [Bodo Moeller]
7782
7783 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7784 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7785 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7786 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7787 [Bodo Moeller]
7788
7789 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7790 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7791 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7792 [Bodo Moeller]
7793
7794 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7795 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7796 [Bodo Moeller]
7797
7798 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7799 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7800 which was free.
7801 [Steve Henson]
7802
7803 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7804 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7805 [Bodo Moeller]
7806
7807 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7808 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7809 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7810 [Bodo Moeller]
7811
7812 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7813 number generation fails.
7814 [Bodo Moeller]
7815
7816 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7817 [Bodo Moeller]
7818
7819 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7820 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7821
7822 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7823 [Ulf Möller]
7824
7825 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7826 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7827
7828 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7829 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7830
7831 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7832
7833 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7834 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7835 [Steve Henson]
7836
7837 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7838 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7839
7840 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7841 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7842 [Ulf Möller]
7843
7844 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7845 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7846 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7847 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7848 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7849 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7850
7851 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7852 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7853 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7854 for example.
7855 [Steve Henson]
7856
7857 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7858 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7859 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7860 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7861 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7862 counter, some don't.)
7863 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7864 counters or duplicate objects.
7865 [Steve Henson]
7866
7867 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7868 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7869 [Steve Henson]
7870
7871 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7872 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7873 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7874
7875 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7876 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7877 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7878 or -rand.
7879 [Ulf Möller]
7880
7881 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7882 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7883 [Steve Henson]
7884
7885 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7886 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7887 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7888 cipher list.
7889 [Steve Henson]
7890
7891 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7892 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7893 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7894 [Steve Henson]
7895
7896 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7897 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7898 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7899 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7900 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7901 should work without changes.
7902 [Richard Levitte]
7903
7904 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7905 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7906 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7907 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7908 must be defined. E.g.,
7909 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7910 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7911 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7912 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7913
7914 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7915 record layer.
7916 [Bodo Moeller]
7917
7918 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7919 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7920 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7921 [Steve Henson]
7922
7923 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7924 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7925 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7926 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7927 [Steve Henson]
7928
7929 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7930 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7931 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7932 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7933 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7934 is prompted for as usual.
7935 [Steve Henson]
7936
7937 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7938 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7939 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7940 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7941
7942 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7943 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7944 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7945 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7946 [Steve Henson]
7947
7948 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7949 [Andy Polyakov]
7950
7951 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7952 of seed file.
7953 [Steve Henson]
7954
7955 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7956 [Bodo Moeller]
7957
7958 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7959 [Steve Henson]
7960
7961 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7962 bits.
7963 [Ulf Möller]
7964
7965 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7966 [Ulf Möller]
7967
7968 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7969 [Andy Polyakov]
7970
7971 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7972 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7973 [Ulf Möller]
7974
7975 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7976 options to produce them.
7977 [Steve Henson]
7978
7979 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7980 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7981 [Ulf Möller]
7982
7983 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7984 for p == 0.
7985 [Ulf Möller]
7986
7987 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7988 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7989 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7990 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7991 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7992 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7993 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7994 [Steve Henson]
7995
7996 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7997 [Steve Henson]
7998
7999 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
8000 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
8001 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
8002 [Bodo Moeller]
8003
8004 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
8005 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8006
8007 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8008 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8009 [Ulf Möller]
8010
8011 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8012 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8013 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8014 has already seen).
8015 [Bodo Moeller]
8016
8017 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8018 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8019
8020 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8021 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8022 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8023 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8024 generation becomes much faster.
8025
8026 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8027 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8028 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8029 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8030 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8031 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8032 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8033 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8034 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8035 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8036 [Bodo Moeller]
8037
8038 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8039 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8040 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8041 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8042 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8043 trial division stage.
8044 [Bodo Moeller]
8045
8046 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8047 as ASN1_TIME.
8048 [Steve Henson]
8049
8050 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8051 [Steve Henson]
8052
8053 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8054 [Ulf Möller]
8055
8056 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8057 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8058 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8059 the comments.
8060 [Ulf Möller]
8061
8062 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8063 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8064 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8065 [Bodo Moeller]
8066
8067 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8068 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8069 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8070 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8071
8072 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8073 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8074 [Steve Henson]
8075
8076 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8077 [Ulf Möller]
8078
8079 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8080 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8081 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8082 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8083 [Ulf Möller]
8084
8085 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8086 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8087 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8088 [Ulf Möller]
8089
8090 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8091 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8092 (instead of parameters) in future.
8093 [Steve Henson]
8094
8095 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8096 when a new cipher list is set.
8097 [Steve Henson]
8098
8099 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8100 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8101 wrong.
8102
8103 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
8104 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
8105 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
8106
8107 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
8108 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
8109 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
8110 an error is flagged.
8111
8112 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
8113 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
8114 the readability was also increased :-)
8115 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8116
8117 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
8118 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
8119 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
8120 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
8121 as the root CA.
8122 [Steve Henson]
8123
8124 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
8125 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
8126 [Steve Henson]
8127
8128 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
8129 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
8130 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
8131 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
8132 instead.
8133
8134 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
8135 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
8136 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
8137 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
8138 because they handle more complex structures.)
8139 [Steve Henson]
8140
8141 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8142 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8143 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8144 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8145
8146 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8147 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8148 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8149 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8150 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8151 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8152 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8153 [Ulf Möller]
8154
8155 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8156 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8157 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8158 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8159 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8160 [Bodo Moeller]
8161
8162 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8163 [Bodo Moeller]
8164
8165 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8166 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8167 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8168 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8169 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8170 to use this.
8171
8172 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8173 code.
8174 [Steve Henson]
8175
8176 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8177 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8178 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8179 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8180 [Steve Henson]
8181
8182 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8183 [Ulf Möller]
8184
8185 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8186 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8187 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8188 international characters are used.
8189
8190 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8191 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8192 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8193 in ASN1 order.
8194 [Steve Henson]
8195
8196 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8197 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8198 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8199 request.
8200
8201 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8202 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8203 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8204 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8205 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8206 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8207
8208 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8209 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8210 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8211 be handled by the string table functions.
8212
8213 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8214 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8215 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8216 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8217 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8218 types at all.
8219 [Steve Henson]
8220
8221 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8222 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8223 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8224 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8225 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8226
8227 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8228 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8229 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8230 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8231 [Bodo Moeller]
8232
8233 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8234 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8235 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8236 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8237 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8238 SHA1.
8239 [Andy Polyakov]
8240
8241 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8242 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8243 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8244 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8245 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8246 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8247 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8248 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8249
8250 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8251 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8252 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8253 [Steve Henson]
8254
8255 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8256 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8257 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8258 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8259 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8260 support to pkcs8 application.
8261 [Steve Henson]
8262
8263 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8264 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8265 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8266 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8267 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8268 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8269 [Bodo Moeller]
8270
8271 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8272 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8273 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8274 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8275 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8276 consistency.
8277 [Bodo Moeller]
8278
8279 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8280 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8281 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8282 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8283 example.
8284 [Steve Henson]
8285
8286 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8287 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8288 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8289 and any application specific purposes.
8290
8291 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8292 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8293 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8294 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8295 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8296 if the certificate is self signed.
8297 [Steve Henson]
8298
8299 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8300 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8301 [Steve Henson]
8302
8303 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8304 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8305 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8306 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8307 [Steve Henson]
8308
8309 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8310 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8311 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8312 Update documentation.
8313 [Steve Henson]
8314
8315 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8316 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8317 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8318 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8319 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8320 [Steve Henson]
8321
8322 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8323 for details.
8324 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8325
8326 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8327 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8328 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8329 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8330 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8331 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8332 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8333 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8334 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8335 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8336
8337 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8338
8339 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8340 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8341 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8342 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8343 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8344
8345 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8346 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8347 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8348 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8349 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8350 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8351 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8352 request additional information:
8353 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8354 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8355
8356 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8357 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8358 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8359 options.
8360
8361 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8362 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8363
8364 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
8365 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8366 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
8367
8368 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8369 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8370
8371 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8372 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8373 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8374 algorithm.
8375 [Steve Henson]
8376
8377 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8378 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8379 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8380
8381 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8382 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8383 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8384 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8385 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8386 included in OpenSSL.
8387 [Steve Henson]
8388
8389 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8390 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8391 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8392 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8393 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8394 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8395 [Bodo Moeller]
8396
8397 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8398 PKCS12 structure.
8399 [Steve Henson]
8400
8401 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8402 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8403 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8404 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8405 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8406 structure.
8407 [Steve Henson]
8408
8409 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8410 need initialising.
8411 [Steve Henson]
8412
8413 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8414 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8415 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8416 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8417 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8418 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8419 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8420 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8421 be maintained manually.
8422
8423 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8424 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8425 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8426 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8427 work because people forget to call this function]
8428 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8429 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8430 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8431 [Steve Henson]
8432
8433 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8434 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8435 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8436 should be discouraged from doing it.
8437 [Ben Laurie]
8438
8439 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8440 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8441 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8442 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8443 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8444 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8445 [Steve Henson]
8446
8447 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8448 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8449 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8450
8451 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8452 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8453 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8454
8455 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8456 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8457 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8458 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8459 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8460 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8461
8462 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8463 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8464 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8465
8466 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8467 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8468 and vice versa.
8469
8470 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8471 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8472 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8473 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8474 [Steve Henson]
8475
8476 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8477 [Steve Henson]
8478
8479 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8480 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8481 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8482 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8483 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8484 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8485 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8486 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8487 keys so we should be OK.
8488
8489 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8490 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8491 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8492 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8493 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8494 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8495 stay in the name of compatibility.
8496
8497 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8498 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8499 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8500
8501 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8502 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8503 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8504 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8505 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8506 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8507 supplied key).
8508 [Steve Henson]
8509
8510 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8511 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8512 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8513 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8514 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8515 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8516 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8517 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8518 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8519 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8520 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8521 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8522 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8523 [Steve Henson]
8524
8525 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8526 [Steve Henson]
8527
8528 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8529 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8530 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8531 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8532 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8533 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8534 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8535 openssl verify ss.pem
8536 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8537 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8538 is OK.
8539 [Steve Henson]
8540
8541 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8542 (and add it to external session representation).
8543 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8544 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8545 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8546 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8547 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8548 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8549 security holes.
8550 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8551
8552 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8553 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8554 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8555 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8556
8557 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8558 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8559 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8560 [Steve Henson]
8561
8562 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8563 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8564 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8565 code.
8566 [Steve Henson]
8567
8568 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8569 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8570 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8571
8572 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8573 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8574 certificate auxiliary information.
8575 [Steve Henson]
8576
8577 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8578 the 'enc' command.
8579 [Steve Henson]
8580
8581 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8582 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8583 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8584 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8585 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8586 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8587 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8588 [Richard Levitte]
8589
8590 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8591 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8592 [Steve Henson]
8593
8594 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8595 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8596 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8597 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8598 [Steve Henson]
8599
8600 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8601 [Steve Henson]
8602
8603 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8604 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8605 [Steve Henson]
8606
8607 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8608 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8609 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8610 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8611 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8612 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8613 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8614 using the new 'x509' options.
8615
8616 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8617 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8618 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8619 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8620 for all purposes.
8621 [Steve Henson]
8622
8623 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8624 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8625 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8626 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8627 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8628 [Mark Cox]
8629
8630 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8631 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8632 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8633 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8634 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8635 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8636 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8637 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8638 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8639 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8640 [Steve Henson]
8641
8642 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8643 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8644 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8645 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8646 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8647 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8648 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8649 [Steve Henson]
8650
8651 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8652 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8653 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8654 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8655 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8656 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8657 openssl.cnf for more info.
8658 [Steve Henson]
8659
8660 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8661 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8662 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8663 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8664 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8665 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8666 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8667 md should be large enough anyway.
8668 [Bodo Moeller]
8669
8670 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8671 for handling the random seed file.
8672
8673 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8674 ca,
8675 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8676 s_client,
8677 s_server,
8678 x509 (when signing).
8679 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8680 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8681 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8682
8683 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8684 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8685 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8686 that support '-rand'.
8687 [Bodo Moeller]
8688
8689 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8690 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8691 [Bodo Moeller]
8692
8693 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8694 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8695 [Bill Perry]
8696
8697 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8698 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8699 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8700 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8701 is suitable.
8702 [Steve Henson]
8703
8704 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8705 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8706 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8707 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8708 [Steve Henson]
8709
8710 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8711 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8712 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8713 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8714 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8715 print out all the purposes.
8716 [Steve Henson]
8717
8718 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8719 functions.
8720 [Steve Henson]
8721
8722 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8723 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8724 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8725 single function call.
8726 [Steve Henson]
8727
8728 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8729 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8730 [Andy Polyakov]
8731
8732 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8733 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8734 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8735 [Steve Henson]
8736
8737 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8738 when producing the local key id.
8739 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8740
8741 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8742 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8743 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8744 "server.pem".
8745 [Steve Henson]
8746
8747 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8748 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8749 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8750 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8751 [Steve Henson]
8752
8753 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8754 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8755 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8756 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8757
8758 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8759 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8760 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8761 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8762
8763 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8764 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8765 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8766 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8767 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8768 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8769 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8770 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8771 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8772 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8773 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8774 trivial: move one line.
8775 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8776
8777 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8778 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8779 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8780 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8781 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8782 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8783 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8784 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8785 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8786 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8787 with an event loop for example.
8788 [Steve Henson]
8789
8790 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8791 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8792 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8793 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8794 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8795 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8796 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8797 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8798 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8799 [Steve Henson]
8800
8801 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8802 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8803 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8804 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8805 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8806 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8807 [Steve Henson]
8808
8809 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8810 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8811 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8812 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8813
8814 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8815 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8816 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8817 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8818 key generation.
8819 [Steve Henson]
8820
8821 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8822 (still largely untested)
8823 [Bodo Moeller]
8824
8825 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8826 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8827 [Steve Henson]
8828
8829 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8830 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8831 [Steve Henson]
8832
8833 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8834 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8835 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8836 [Bodo Moeller]
8837
8838 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8839 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8840 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8841 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8842 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8843 [Steve Henson]
8844
8845 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8846 [Andy Polyakov]
8847
8848 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8849 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8850 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8851 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8852 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8853 in ca.
8854 [Steve Henson]
8855
8856 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8857 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8858 1.OU="Unit name 1"
8859 2.OU="Unit name 2"
8860 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8861 [Steve Henson]
8862
8863 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8864 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8865 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8866 are otherwise ignored at present.
8867 [Steve Henson]
8868
8869 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8870 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8871 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8872 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8873 copied until the next read.
8874 [Steve Henson]
8875
8876 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8877 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8878 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8879 [Steve Henson]
8880
8881 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8882 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8883 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8884 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8885 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8886 associated functions.
8887 [Steve Henson]
8888
8889 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8890 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8891 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8892 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8893 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8894 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8895 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8896 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8897 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8898 memory BIOs.
8899 [Steve Henson]
8900
8901 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8902 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8903 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8904 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8905 [Bodo Moeller]
8906
8907 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8908 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8909 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8910 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8911 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8912 functionality.
8913 [Steve Henson]
8914
8915 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8916 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8917 under Win32.
8918 [Steve Henson]
8919
8920 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8921 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8922 extensions to be obtained and added.
8923 [Steve Henson]
8924
8925 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8926 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8927 [Bodo Moeller]
8928
8929 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8930
8931 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8932 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8933
8934 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8935 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8936
8937 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8938 program.
8939 [Steve Henson]
8940
8941 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8942 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8943 DH parameters contain its length).
8944
8945 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8946 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8947 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8948 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8949 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8950 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8951 utter importance to use
8952 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8953 or
8954 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8955 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8956 attacks may become possible!
8957 [Bodo Moeller]
8958
8959 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8960 [Bodo Moeller]
8961
8962 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8963 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8964 [Steve Henson]
8965
8966 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8967 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8968 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8969 or long name.
8970 [Steve Henson]
8971
8972 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8973 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8974 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8975 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8976 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8977 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8978 private key operations.
8979 [Steve Henson]
8980
8981 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8982 [Andy Polyakov]
8983
8984 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8985 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8986 to
8987 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8988 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8989 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8990 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8991 the password callback is called.
8992 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8993
8994 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8995
8996 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8997 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8998 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8999 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
9000 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
9001 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
9002 this will work.
9003
9004 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
9005 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9006 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9007 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9008 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9009 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9010 [Bodo Moeller]
9011
9012 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9013 [Andy Polyakov]
9014
9015 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9016 delete an unused file.
9017 [Ulf Möller]
9018
9019 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9020 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9021 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9022 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9023 [Steve Henson]
9024
9025 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9026 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9027 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9028 of an error.
9029 [Bodo Moeller]
9030
9031 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9032 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9033 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9034
9035 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9036 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9037 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9038 comparison" warnings.
9039 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9040 [Steve Henson]
9041
9042 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9043 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9044 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9045 [Steve Henson]
9046
9047 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9048 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9049
9050 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9051 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9052
9053 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9054 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9055 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9056
9057 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9058 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9059 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9060 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9061 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9062 this bug.
9063 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9064
9065 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9066 The interface is as follows:
9067 Applications can use
9068 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9069 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9070 "off" is now the default.
9071 The library internally uses
9072 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9073 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9074 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9075
9076 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9077 even the default) are now avoided.
9078
9079 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9080 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9081 than just having a counter.
9082
9083 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9084
9085 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9086 extensions.
9087 [Bodo Moeller]
9088
9089 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9090 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9091 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9092 Initial "mode" flags are:
9093
9094 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9095 a single record has been written.
9096 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9097 retries use the same buffer location.
9098 (But all of the contents must be
9099 copied!)
9100 [Bodo Moeller]
9101
9102 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9103 worked.
9104
9105 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
9106 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
9107
9108 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
9109 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
9110 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
9111 [Steve Henson]
9112
9113 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
9114 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
9115 test programs.
9116 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
9117
9118 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
9119 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
9120 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
9121 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
9122 point to the end.
9123 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
9124 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
9125
9126 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
9127 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
9128 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
9129 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
9130 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
9131 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
9132 [Steve Henson]
9133
9134 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
9135 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
9136 necessary function names.
9137 [Steve Henson]
9138
9139 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9140 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9141 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9142 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9143 [Bodo Moeller]
9144
9145 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9146 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9147 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9148 [Steve Henson]
9149
9150 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9151 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9152 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9153 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9154 such programs?)
9155 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9156 need locks.
9157 [Bodo Moeller]
9158
9159 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9160 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9161 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9162 [Bodo Moeller]
9163
9164 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9165 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9166 appropriate.
9167 [Bodo Moeller]
9168
9169 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9170 for the encoded length.
9171 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9172
9173 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9174 [Steve Henson]
9175
9176 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9177 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9178 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9179 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9180 [Steve Henson]
9181
9182 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9183 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9184 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9185
9186 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9187 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9188 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9189 unusual formatting.
9190 [Steve Henson]
9191
9192 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9193 to use the new extension code.
9194 [Steve Henson]
9195
9196 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9197 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9198 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9199 constant.
9200 [Steve Henson]
9201
9202 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9203 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9204 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9205 [Bodo Moeller]
9206
9207 #if 0
9208 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9209 [Ben Laurie]
9210 #else
9211 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9212 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9213 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9214 #endif
9215
9216 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9217 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9218 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9219 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9220 [Ben Laurie]
9221
9222 *) DES library cleanups.
9223 [Ulf Möller]
9224
9225 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9226 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9227 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9228 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9229 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9230 of v2.0.
9231 [Steve Henson]
9232
9233 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9234 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9235 [Bodo Moeller]
9236
9237 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9238 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9239 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9240 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9241 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9242 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9243 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9244 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9245 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9246 [Steve Henson]
9247
9248 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9249 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9250 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9251 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9252 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9253 value doesn't matter.
9254 [Steve Henson]
9255
9256 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9257 support mutable.
9258 [Ben Laurie]
9259
9260 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9261 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9262 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9263 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9264
9265 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9266 [Ulf Möller]
9267
9268 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9269 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9270 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9271
9272 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9273 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9274
9275 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9276 [Ben Laurie]
9277
9278 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9279 [Ben Laurie]
9280
9281 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9282 [Ben Laurie]
9283
9284 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9285 [Bodo Moeller]
9286
9287
9288 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9289
9290 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9291
9292 *) Updated some demos.
9293 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9294
9295 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9296 [Wu Zhigang]
9297
9298 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9299 [Steve Henson]
9300
9301 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9302 [Steve Henson]
9303
9304 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9305 instead of using a fixed path.
9306 [Bodo Moeller]
9307
9308 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9309 [Andy Polyakov]
9310
9311 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9312 [Richard Levitte]
9313
9314
9315 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9316
9317 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9318 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9319 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9320
9321 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9322 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9323 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9324 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9325 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9326 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9327 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9328 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9329 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9330 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9331 [Steve Henson]
9332
9333 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9334 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9335 [Steve Henson]
9336
9337 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9338 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9339 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9340 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9341 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9342
9343 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9344 [Bodo Moeller]
9345
9346 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9347 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9348 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9349 [Steve Henson]
9350
9351 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9352 [Ben Laurie]
9353
9354 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9355 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9356 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9357 key elements as negative integers.
9358 [Steve Henson]
9359
9360 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9361 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9362
9363 *) VMS support.
9364 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9365
9366 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9367 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9368 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9369 [Steve Henson]
9370
9371 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9372 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9373 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9374 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9375 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9376 [Bodo Moeller]
9377
9378 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9379 [Ulf Möller]
9380
9381 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9382 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9383 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9384 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9385
9386 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9387 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9388 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9389
9390 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9391 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9392 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9393 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9394 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9395 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9396 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9397 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9398 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9399
9400 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9401 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9402 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9403 does not influence s as it used to.
9404
9405 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9406 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9407 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9408 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9409 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9410 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9411 [Bodo Moeller]
9412
9413 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9414 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9415 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9416 key type.
9417 [Steve Henson]
9418
9419 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9420 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9421 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9422 and 'x509').
9423 [Steve Henson]
9424
9425 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9426 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9427 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9428 extension option.
9429 [Steve Henson]
9430
9431 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9432 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9433 [Ben Laurie]
9434
9435 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9436 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9437
9438 *) Support Mingw32.
9439 [Ulf Möller]
9440
9441 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9442 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9443
9444 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9445 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9446
9447 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9448 [Ulf Möller]
9449
9450 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9451 [Anonymous]
9452
9453 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9454 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9455
9456 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9457 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9458 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9459 DER-encoded.)
9460 [Bodo Moeller]
9461
9462 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9463 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9464 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9465 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9466 now it really counts the depth.
9467 [Bodo Moeller]
9468
9469 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9470 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9471 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9472 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9473 didn't match the private key).
9474
9475 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9476 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9477 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9478 [Bodo Moeller]
9479
9480 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9481 [Ulf Möller]
9482
9483 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9484 David Harris.
9485 [Bodo Moeller]
9486
9487 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9488 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9489 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9490 [Bodo Moeller]
9491
9492 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9493 [Bodo Moeller]
9494
9495 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9496 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9497 such as /usr/local/bin.
9498 [Bodo Moeller]
9499
9500 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9501 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9502
9503 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9504 [Ulf Möller]
9505
9506 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9507 extension adding in x509 utility.
9508 [Steve Henson]
9509
9510 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9511 [Ulf Möller]
9512
9513 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9514 prototypes.
9515 [Steve Henson]
9516
9517 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9518 [Ulf Möller]
9519
9520 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9521 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9522 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9523 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9524 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9525 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9526 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9527 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9528 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9529 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9530 [Steve Henson]
9531
9532 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9533 [Bodo Moeller]
9534
9535 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9536 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9537 [Bodo Moeller]
9538
9539 *) Fix some race conditions.
9540 [Bodo Moeller]
9541
9542 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9543 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9544 [Steve Henson]
9545
9546 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9547 [Ulf Möller]
9548
9549 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9550 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9551 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9552 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9553
9554 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9555 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9556
9557 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9558 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9559 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9560
9561 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9562 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9563
9564 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9565 [Ulf Möller]
9566
9567 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9568 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9569
9570 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9571 [Ulf Möller]
9572
9573 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9574 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9575
9576 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9577 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9578 [Steve Henson]
9579
9580 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9581 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9582 [Ben Laurie]
9583
9584 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9585 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9586 [Steve Henson]
9587
9588 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9589 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9590 [Steve Henson]
9591
9592 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9593 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9594 [Steve Henson]
9595
9596 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9597 support typesafe stack.
9598 [Steve Henson]
9599
9600 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9601 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9602
9603 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9604 old X509V3 handling code.
9605 [Steve Henson]
9606
9607 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9608 [Ulf Möller]
9609
9610 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9611 [Bodo Moeller]
9612
9613 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9614 [Ben Laurie]
9615
9616 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9617 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9618
9619 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9620 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9621 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9622 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9623 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9624 [Ben Laurie]
9625
9626 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9627 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9628 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9629 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9630 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9631
9632 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9633 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9634 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9635 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9636
9637 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9638 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9639 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9640 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9641
9642 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9643 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9644 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9645 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9646 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9647 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9648 [Bodo Moeller]
9649
9650 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9651 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9652 [Bodo Moeller]
9653
9654 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9655 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9656 [Ulf Möller]
9657
9658 *) Tweaks to Configure
9659 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9660
9661 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9662 yet...
9663 [Steve Henson]
9664
9665 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9666 [Ulf Möller]
9667
9668 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9669 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9670 [Ulf Möller]
9671
9672 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9673 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9674 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9675 [Bodo Moeller]
9676
9677 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9678 [Bodo Moeller]
9679
9680 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9681 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9682 [Steve Henson]
9683
9684 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9685 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9686 to library startup routines.
9687 [Steve Henson]
9688
9689 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9690 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9691 codes along the way.
9692 [Steve Henson]
9693
9694 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9695 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9696 objects to objects.h
9697 [Steve Henson]
9698
9699 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9700 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9701 [Steve Henson]
9702
9703 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9704 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9705
9706 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9707 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9708 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9709
9710 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9711 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9712 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9713
9714 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9715 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9716 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9717
9718
9719 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9720
9721 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9722 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9723 [Ben Laurie]
9724
9725 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9726 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9727 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9728 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9729 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9730
9731 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9732 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9733 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9734 document.
9735 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9736
9737 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9738 Malloc, Free.
9739 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9740
9741 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9742 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9743
9744 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9745 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9746 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9747 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9748
9749 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9750 [Ben Laurie]
9751
9752 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9753 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9754 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9755 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9756 [Steve Henson]
9757
9758 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9759 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9760 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9761 [Steve Henson]
9762
9763 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9764 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9765 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9766 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9767 installed as `perl').
9768 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9769
9770 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9771 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9772
9773 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9774 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9775 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9776 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9777 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9778 [Steve Henson]
9779
9780 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9781 [Ben Laurie]
9782
9783 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9784 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9785 is horrible: I feel ill....
9786 [Steve Henson]
9787
9788 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9789 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9790 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9791 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9792 [Steve Henson]
9793
9794 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9795 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9796
9797 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9798 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9799 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9800 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9801
9802 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9803 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9804 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9805 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9806 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9807 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9808 openssl_bio.xs.
9809 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9810
9811 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9812 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9813
9814 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9815 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9816
9817 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9818 [Ben Laurie]
9819
9820 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9821 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9822 in CRLs.
9823 [Steve Henson]
9824
9825 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9826 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9827 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9828 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9829 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9830 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9831 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9832 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9833 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9834 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9835 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9836
9837 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9838 [Ben Laurie]
9839
9840 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9841 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9842 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9843 for linking it into DSOs.
9844 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9845
9846 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9847 Fixed.
9848 [Ben Laurie]
9849
9850 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9851 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9852 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9853 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9854 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9855 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9856
9857 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9858 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9859 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9860 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9861 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9862 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9863 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9864
9865 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9866 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9867 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9868 encryption.
9869 [Ben Laurie]
9870
9871 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9872 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9873 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9874 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9875 [Steve Henson]
9876
9877 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9878 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9879 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9880 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9881 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9882 field as blank.
9883 [Steve Henson]
9884
9885 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9886 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9887 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9888 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9889 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9890
9891 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9892 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9893 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9894
9895 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9896 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9897
9898 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9899 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9900 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9901 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9902 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9903 [Steve Henson]
9904
9905 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9906 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9907 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9908 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9909 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9910 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9911 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9912 [Ben Laurie]
9913
9914 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9915 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
9916 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9917 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9918 [Ben Laurie]
9919
9920 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9921 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9922
9923 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9924 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9925 [Steve Henson]
9926
9927 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9928 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9929 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9930 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9931 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9932 (e.g. s_server).
9933 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9934 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9935 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9936 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9937 no way to reconfigure them.
9938 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9939 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9940 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9941 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9942 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9943 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9944
9945 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9946 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9947 recognized by the users.
9948 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9949
9950 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9951 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9952 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9953 already masked variable.
9954 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9955
9956 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9957 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9958
9959 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9960 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9961 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9962 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9963
9964 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9965 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9966 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9967
9968 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9969 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9970 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9971 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9972 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9973 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9974 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9975 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9976 now, too.
9977 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9978
9979 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9980 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9981 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9982
9983 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9984 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9985 config file.
9986 [Steve Henson]
9987
9988 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9989 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9990
9991 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9992 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9993 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9994 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9995 [Ben Laurie]
9996
9997 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9998 [Steve Henson]
9999
10000 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
10001 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10002
10003 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10004 [Ben Laurie]
10005
10006 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10007 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10008 [Steve Henson]
10009
10010 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10011 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10012 [Steve Henson]
10013
10014 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10015 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10016 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10017 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10018 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10019 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10020 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10021 Ben Laurie]
10022
10023 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10024 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10025
10026 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10027 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10028 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10029 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10030 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10031
10032 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10033 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10034 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10035 [Steve Henson]
10036
10037 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10038 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10039 an example.
10040 [Steve Henson]
10041
10042 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10043 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10044 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10045
10046 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10047 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10048 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10049 build instructions.
10050 [Steve Henson]
10051
10052 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10053 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10054 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10055 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10056 [Steve Henson]
10057
10058 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10059 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10060 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10061 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10062 [Ben Laurie]
10063
10064 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10065 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10066 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10067 so it wasn't spotted.
10068 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10069
10070 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10071 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10072 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10073 vectors if you have them.
10074 [Ben Laurie]
10075
10076 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10077 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10078 [Ben Laurie]
10079
10080 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10081 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10082 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10083 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10084 If you do a:
10085 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10086 it will update them.
10087 [Steve Henson]
10088
10089 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10090 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10091 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10092 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10093 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10094 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10095 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10096 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10097
10098 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10099 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10100 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10101 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10102 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10103 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
10104 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
10105 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
10106 the crypto/md/ stuff).
10107 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10108
10109 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
10110 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
10111 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
10112 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
10113 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
10114 [Steve Henson]
10115
10116 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
10117 INTEGER code.
10118 [Steve Henson]
10119
10120 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
10121 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10122
10123 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
10124 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10125
10126 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
10127 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
10128 [Ben Laurie]
10129
10130 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
10131 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
10132
10133 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
10134 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
10135
10136 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
10137 [Steve Henson]
10138
10139 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10140 few typos.
10141 [Steve Henson]
10142
10143 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10144 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10145 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10146 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10147
10148 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10149 [Steve Henson]
10150
10151 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10152 [Steve Henson]
10153
10154 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10155 [Steve Henson]
10156
10157 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10158 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10159 [Steve Henson]
10160
10161 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10162 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10163 CA extensions.
10164 [Steve Henson]
10165
10166 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10167 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10168 [Steve Henson]
10169
10170 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10171 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10172 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10173 [Steve Henson]
10174
10175 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10176 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10177 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10178 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10179 properly to be processed.
10180 [Steve Henson]
10181
10182 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10183 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10184 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10185 [Ben Laurie]
10186
10187 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10188 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10189
10190 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10191 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10192 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10193 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10194 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10195 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10196 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10197 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10198 or delete all the .err files.
10199 [Steve Henson]
10200
10201 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10202 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10203 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10204 to regenerate it if needed.
10205 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10206 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10207
10208 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10209 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10210
10211 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10212 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10213 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10214 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10215 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10216 [Steve Henson]
10217
10218 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10219 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10220
10221 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10222 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10223
10224 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10225 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10226 error, but didn't set one).
10227 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10228
10229 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10230 [Ben Laurie]
10231
10232 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10233 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10234 [Steve Henson]
10235
10236 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10237 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10238
10239 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10240 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10241 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10242 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10243 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10244 OID is not part of the table.
10245 [Steve Henson]
10246
10247 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10248 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10249 [Ben Laurie]
10250
10251 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10252 [Ben Laurie]
10253
10254 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10255 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10256 was "1234").
10257 [Steve Henson]
10258
10259 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10260 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10261
10262 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10263 NULL pointers.
10264 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10265
10266 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10267 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10268
10269 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10270 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10271
10272 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10273 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10274
10275 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10276 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10277 [Ben Laurie]
10278
10279 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10280 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10281 [Steve Henson]
10282
10283 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10284 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10285
10286 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10287 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10288
10289 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10290 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10291
10292 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10293 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10294
10295 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10296 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10297 unused in the certificate verification process.
10298 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10299
10300 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10301 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10302 [Steve Henson]
10303
10304 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10305 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10306 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10307
10308 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10309 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10310 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10311 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10312 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10313
10314 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10315 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10316 [Steve Henson]
10317
10318 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10319 [Steve Henson]
10320
10321 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10322 [Paul Sutton]
10323
10324 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10325 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10326
10327 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10328 [Ben Laurie]
10329
10330 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10331 [Ben Laurie]
10332
10333 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10334 [Ben Laurie]
10335
10336 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10337 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10338 other error libraries.
10339 [Steve Henson]
10340
10341 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10342 [Steve Henson]
10343
10344 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10345 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10346 be read in.
10347 [Steve Henson]
10348
10349 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10350 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10351 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10352 the new set of documenation files.
10353 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10354
10355 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10356 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10357 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10358 number of arguments.
10359 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10360
10361 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10362 [Ben Laurie]
10363
10364 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10365 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10366 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10367
10368 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10369 [Ben Laurie]
10370
10371 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10372 nextstep
10373 ncr-scde
10374 unixware-2.0
10375 unixware-2.0-pentium
10376 sco5-cc.
10377 [Ben Laurie]
10378
10379 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10380 before they are needed.
10381 [Ben Laurie]
10382
10383 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10384 [Ben Laurie]
10385
10386
10387 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10388
10389 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10390 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10391 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10392
10393 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10394 [Paul Sutton]
10395
10396 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10397 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10398 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10399
10400 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10401 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10402 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10403
10404 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10405 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10406 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10407
10408 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10409 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10410
10411 *) Updated the README file.
10412 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10413
10414 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10415 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10416 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10417
10418 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10419 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10420 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10421
10422 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10423 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10424 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10425 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10426 o removed obsolete TODO file
10427 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10428 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10429
10430 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10431 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10432 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
10433 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
10434 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
10435 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
10436 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10437
10438 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
10439 [Mark J. Cox]
10440
10441 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
10442 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
10443 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
10444 summer 1998.
10445 [The OpenSSL Project]
10446
10447
10448 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
10449
10450 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
10451 [Eric A. Young]
10452
10453 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
10454 [Eric A. Young]
10455
10456 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
10457 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
10458 [Eric A. Young]
10459
10460 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
10461 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
10462 available).
10463 [Eric A. Young]
10464
10465 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
10466 binary structures
10467 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
10468
10469 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
10470 [Eric A. Young]
10471
10472 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
10473 [Eric A. Young]
10474
10475 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
10476 [Eric A. Young]
10477
10478 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10479 [Eric A. Young]
10480
10481 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10482 [Eric A. Young]
10483
10484 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10485 [Eric A. Young]
10486
10487 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10488 [Eric A. Young]
10489
10490 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10491 [Eric A. Young]
10492
10493 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10494 [Eric A. Young]
10495
10496 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10497 [Eric A. Young]
10498
10499 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10500 [Eric A. Young]
10501
10502 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10503 [Eric A. Young]
10504
10505 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10506 [Eric A. Young]
10507
10508 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10509 [Eric A. Young]
10510
10511 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10512 [Eric A. Young]
10513
10514 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10515 [Eric A. Young]
10516
10517 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10518 [Eric A. Young]
10519
10520 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10521 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10522 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10523 [Eric A. Young]
10524
10525 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10526 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10527 [Eric A. Young]
10528
10529 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10530 [Eric A. Young]
10531
10532 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10533 [Eric A. Young]
10534
10535 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
