5 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [xx XXX 2016]
6
7 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
8 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
9 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
10 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
11 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
12 and the validity of object reference counter.
13 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
14
15 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
16 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
17 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
18 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
19 [Richard Levitte]
20
21 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
22 [Richard Levitte]
23
24 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
25 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
26 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
27 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
28
29 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
30
31 [Richard Levitte]
32
33 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
34 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
35 [Steve Henson]
36
37 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
38 [Andy Polyakov]
39
40 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
41 [Rich Salz]
42
43 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
44 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
45 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
46 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
47 name and is used as is.
48 [Richard Levitte]
49
50 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
51 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
52 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
53 [Rich Salz]
54
55 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
56 the "no-shared" Configure option.
57 [Matt Caswell]
58
59 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
60 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
61 algorithms.
62 [Matt Caswell]
63
64 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
65 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
66 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
67 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
68 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
69 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
70 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
71 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
72 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
73 [Matt Caswell]
74
75 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
76 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
77 enabled with '--debug' builds.
78 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
79
80 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
81 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
82 these have been added.
83 [Matt Caswell]
84
85 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
86 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
87 functions for managing these have been added.
88 [Richard Levitte]
89
90 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
91 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
92 these have been added.
93 [Matt Caswell]
94
95 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
96 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
97 have been added.
98 [Matt Caswell]
99
100 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
101 [Matt Caswell]
102
103 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
104 [Richard Levitte]
105
106 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
107 it is always safe to #include a header now.
108 [Rich Salz]
109
110 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
111 [Richard Levitte]
112
113 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
114 [Rich Salz]
115
116 *) Add support for HKDF.
117 [Alessandro Ghedini]
118
119 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
120 [Bill Cox]
121
122 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
123 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
124 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
125 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
126 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
127 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
128 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
129 [Matt Caswell]
130
131 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
132 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
133 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
134 [Catriona Lucey]
135
136 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
137 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
138 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
139 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
140 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
141 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
142 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
143
144 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
145 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
146 [Todd Short]
147
148 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
149 [Todd Short]
150
151 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
152 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
153 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
154 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
155 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
156 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
157 default cipherlist.
158 [Emilia Käsper]
159
160 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
161 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
162 [Rich Salz]
163
164 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
165 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
166 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
167 [Matt Caswell]
168
169 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
170 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
171 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
172 implemented by other servers.
173 [Emilia Käsper]
174
175 *) Add X25519 support.
176 Integrate support for X25519 into EC library. This includes support
177 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
178 draft-josefsson-pkix-newcurves-01: specifically X25519 uses the
179 OID from that draft, encodes public keys using little endian
180 format in the ECPoint structure and private keys using
181 little endian form in the privateKey field of the ECPrivateKey
182 structure. TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-06
183 and uses X25519(29).
184
185 Note: the current version supports key generation, public and
186 private key encoding and ECDH key agreement using the EC API.
187 Low level point operations such as EC_POINT_add(), EC_POINT_mul()
188 are NOT supported.
189 [Steve Henson]
190
191 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
192 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
193 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
194 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
195 seed, even if the seed is configured.
196
197 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
198 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
199 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
200 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
201 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
202 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
203 that of a valid user.
204 [Emilia Käsper]
205
206 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
207 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
208 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
209 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
210
211 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
212 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
213
214 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
215 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
216 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
217 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
218
219 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
220 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
221 irrelevant.
222 [Richard Levitte]
223
224 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
225 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
226 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
227 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
228 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
229 of how OpenSSL was configured.
230
231 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
232 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
233 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
234 [Richard Levitte]
235
236 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
237 [Rich Salz]
238
239 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
240 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
241 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
242 removed.
243 [Richard Levitte]
244
245 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
246 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
247 old #define's might need to be updated.
248 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
249
250 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
251 [Rich Salz]
252
253 *) New "unified" build system
254
255 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
256 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
257
258 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
259 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
260 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
261
262 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
263 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
264 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
265 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
266 descrip.mms.tmpl.
267
268 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
269 [Richard Levitte]
270
271 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
272 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
273 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
274 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
275 [Matt Caswell]
276
277 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
278 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
279
280 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
281 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
282 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
283 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
284 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
285 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
286 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
287 have been adapted accordingly.
288 [Richard Levitte]
289
290 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
291 the leading 0-byte.
292 [Emilia Käsper]
293
294 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
295 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
296 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
297 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
298 [Emilia Käsper]
299
300 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
301 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
302 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
303 'unsigned char*'.
304 [Emilia Käsper]
305
306 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
307 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
308 [Emilia Käsper]
309
310 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
311 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
312 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
313 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
314 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
315 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
316 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
317
318 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
319 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
320
321 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
322 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
323 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
324 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
325 Text::Template.
326
327 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
328 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
329 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
330 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
331 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
332 %target).
333 [Richard Levitte]
334
335 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
336 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
337 straightforward and less interdependent.
338
339 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
340 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
341 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
342
343 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
344 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
345 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
346 installed.
347 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
348 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
349 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
350 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
351
352 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
353 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
354 [Richard Levitte]
355
356 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
357 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
358 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
359 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
360 is present).
361 [Matt Caswell]
362
363 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
364 configuring.
365 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
366
367 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
368 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
369 before trying to build now.*
370 [Rich Salz]
371
372 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
373 has changed.
374 [Rich Salz]
375
376 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
377
378 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
379 the application's responsibility. The application provides
380 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
381 used to authenticate the peer.
382
383 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
384 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
385 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
386 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
387 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
388 [Viktor Dukhovni]
389
390 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
391 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
392 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
393 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
394 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
395 or the 1.1.0 releases.
396
397 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
398 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
399 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
400 support for the deprecated features from the library and
401 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
402 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
403 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
404 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
405 version.
406
407 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
408 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
409 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
410 compile with later releases.
411
412 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
413 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
414 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
415 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
416 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
417 [Viktor Dukhovni]
418
419 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
420 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
421 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
422 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
423 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
424 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
425 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
426 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
427 [Kurt Roeckx]
428
429 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
430 [Andy Polyakov]
431
432 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
433 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
434 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
435 ECDSA_SIG format.
436
437 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
438 include the ec.h header file instead.
439 [Steve Henson]
440
441 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
442 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
443 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
444 [Kurt Roeckx]
445
446 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
447 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
448 were added:
449
450 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
451 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
452
453 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
454 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
455 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
456
457 Additional changes:
458 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
459 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
460 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
461 an already created structure.
462 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
463 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
464 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
465 for deprecated builds.
466 [Richard Levitte]
467
468 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
469 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
470 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
471 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
472 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
473 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
474 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
475 [Matt Caswell]
476
477 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
478 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
479 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
480 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
481 [Kurt Roeckx]
482
483 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
484 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
485 [Kurt Roeckx]
486
487 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
488 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
489 [Kurt Roeckx]
490
491 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
492 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
493 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
494 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
495 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
496 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
497 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
498 also been removed.
499 [Matt Caswell]
500
501 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
502 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
503 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
504 [Rich Salz]
505
506 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
507 [Rich Salz]
508
509 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
510 sureware and ubsec.
511 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
512
513 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
514
515 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
516 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
517
518 FOO *x;
519
520 it must be:
521
522 FOO x;
523
524 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
525 set a mandatory field to NULL.
526
527 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
528 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
529 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
530 SEQUENCE OF.
531 [Steve Henson]
532
533 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
534 [Emilia Käsper]
535
536 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
537 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
538 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
539 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
540 [Matt Caswell]
541
542 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
543 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
544 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
545 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
546 [Emilia Käsper]
547
548 *) Fix no-stdio build.
549 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
550 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
551
552 *) New testing framework
553 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
554 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
555 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
556 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
557 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
558 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
559
560 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
561
562 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
563 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
564
565 [Richard Levitte]
566
567 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
568 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
569 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
570 and others were changed. All are now documented.
571 [Rich Salz]
572
573 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
574 return an error
575 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
576
577 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
578 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
579
580 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
581 original RSA_PSK patch.
582 [Steve Henson]
583
584 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
585 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
586 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
587 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
588 [Matt Caswell]
589
590 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
591 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
592 [Richard Levitte]
593
594 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
595 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
596 hasn't been working properly for a while.
597 [Emilia Käsper]
598
599 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
600 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
601 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
602 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
603 transferred.
604 [Matt Caswell]
605
606 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
607 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
608 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
609 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
610 [Matt Caswell]
611
612 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
613 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
614 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
615 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
616 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
617 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
618 [Matt Caswell]
619
620 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
621 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
622 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
623 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
624 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
625 header file has been removed.
626 [Matt Caswell]
627
628 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
629 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
630 [Matt Caswell]
631
632 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
633 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
634 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
635
636 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
637 Added a test.
638 [Rich Salz]
639
640 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
641 [Rich Salz]
642
643 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
644 sha256
645 [Rich Salz]
646
647 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
648 [Matt Caswell]
649
650 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
651 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
652 initial patch which was a great help during development.
653 [Steve Henson]
654
655 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
656 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
657 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
658 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
659 [Matt Caswell]
660
661 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
662 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
663 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
664 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
665 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
666 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
667 [Matt Caswell]
668
669 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
670 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
671 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
672 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
673 [Matt Caswell]
674
675 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
676 compatible client hello.
677 [Kurt Roeckx]
678
679 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
680 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
681 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
682
683 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
684 [Rich Salz]
685
686 *) Removed old DES API.
687 [Rich Salz]
688
689 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
690 Sony NEWS4
691 BEOS and BEOS_R5
692 NeXT
693 SUNOS
694 MPE/iX
695 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
696 DGUX
697 NCR
698 Tandem
699 Cray
700 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
701 [Rich Salz]
702
703 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
704 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
705 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
706 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
707 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
708 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
709 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
710 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
711 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
712 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
713 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
714 [Rich Salz]
715
716 *) Cleaned up dead code
717 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
718 [Rich Salz]
719
720 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
721 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
722 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
723 [Rich Salz]
724
725 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
726 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
727 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
728 [Rich Salz]
729
730 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
731 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
732 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
733
734 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
735 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
736 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
737
738 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
739 compilation flags.
740 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
741
742 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
743 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
744 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
745
746 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
747 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
748
749 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
750 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
751 server.
752
753 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
754 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
755 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
756 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
757
758 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
759 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
760 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
761 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
762
763 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
764 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
765 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
766
767 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
768 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
769 [Steve Henson]
770
771 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
772
773 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
774 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
775
776 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
777 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
778
779 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
780 effect.
781
782 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
783
784 [Steve Henson]
785
786 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
787 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
788 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
789 algorithms and include tests cases.
790 [Steve Henson]
791
792 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
793 enveloped data.
794 [Steve Henson]
795
796 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
797 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
798 [Steve Henson]
799
800 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
801 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
802
803 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
804 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
805 [Steve Henson]
806
807 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
808 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
809 failures.
810 [Steve Henson]
811
812 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
813 sign or verify all in one operation.
814 [Steve Henson]
815
816 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
817 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
818 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
819 [Steve Henson]
820
821 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
822 [Steve Henson]
823
824 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
825 [Steve Henson]
826
827 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
828 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
829 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
830 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
831 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
832 [Steve Henson]
833
834 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
835 based on NID.
836 [Steve Henson]
837
838 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
839 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
840 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
841 [Steve Henson]
842
843 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
844 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
845 [Steve Henson]
846
847 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
848 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
849
850 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
851 POST to handle HMAC cases.
852 [Steve Henson]
853
854 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
855 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
856 [Steve Henson]
857
858 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
859 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
860 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
861 [Steve Henson]
862
863 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
864 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
865 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
866 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
867 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
868 requested amount of entropy.
869 [Steve Henson]
870
871 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
872 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
873 [Steve Henson]
874
875 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
876 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
877 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
878 support.
879 [Steve Henson]
880
881 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
882 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
883 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
884 [Steve Henson]
885
886 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
887 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
888 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
889 will never use XTS mode.
890 [Steve Henson]
891
892 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
893 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
894 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
895 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
896 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
897 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
898 [Steve Henson]
899
900 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
901 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
902 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
903 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
904 [Steve Henson]
905
906 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
907 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
908 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
909 [Steve Henson]
910
911 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
912 [Steve Henson]
913
914 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
915 [Steve Henson]
916
917 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
918 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
919 [Steve Henson]
920
921 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
922 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
923 [Steve Henson]
924
925 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
926 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
927 [Steve Henson]
928
929 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
930 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
931 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
932 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
933 and rename any affected symbols.
934 [Steve Henson]
935
936 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
937 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
938 [Steve Henson]
939
940 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
941 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
942 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
943 [Steve Henson]
944
945 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
946 [Steve Henson]
947
948 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
949 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
950 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
951 [Steve Henson]
952
953 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
954 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
955 [Steve Henson]
956
957 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
958 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
959 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
960 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
961 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
962 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
963 set before the key.
964 [Steve Henson]
965
966 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
967 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
968 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
969 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
970 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
971 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
972 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
973 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
974 [Steve Henson]
975
976 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
977 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
978 [Steve Henson]
979
980 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
981
982 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
983 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
984
985 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
986 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
987 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
988 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
989 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
990 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
991
992 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
993 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
994 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
995 security.
996 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
997
998 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
999 parameters by name.
1000 [Steve Henson]
1001
1002 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1003 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1004 [Steve Henson]
1005
1006 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1007 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1008 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1009 [Steve Henson]
1010
1011 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1012 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1013 multi-process servers.
1014 [Steve Henson]
1015
1016 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1017 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1018 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1019 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1020 RAND_METHOD structure.
1021 [Steve Henson]
1022
1023 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1024 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1025 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1026 whose return value is often ignored.
1027 [Steve Henson]
1028
1029 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1030 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1031 validated when establishing a connection.
1032 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
1033
1034 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1035
1036 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1037
1038 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1039 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1040 AES-NI.
1041
1042 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1043 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1044 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1045 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1046 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1047 bytes.

1051 [Kurt Roeckx]
1052
1053 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1054
1055 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1056 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1057 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1058 corruption.
1059
1060 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1061 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1062 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1063 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1064 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1065 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1066
1067 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1068 (CVE-2016-2105)
1069 [Matt Caswell]
1070
1071 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1072
1073 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1074 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1075 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1076 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1077 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1078 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1079 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1080 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1081 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1082 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1083 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1084 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1085 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1086 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1087 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1088 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

1092 [Matt Caswell]
1093
1094 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1095
1096 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1097 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1098 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1099
1100 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1101 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1102 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1103 applications are not affected.

1110
1111 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1112 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1113 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.

1132
1133 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1134 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1135 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1136 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1137
1138 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1139 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1140 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1141 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1142 will need to explicitly call either of:
1143
1144 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1145 or
1146 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1147
1148 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1149 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1150 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1151 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1152 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.

1155
1156 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1157
1158 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1159 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1160 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1161 considered rare.
1162
1163 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1164 libFuzzer.
1165 (CVE-2016-0705)
1166 [Stephen Henson]
1167
1168 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1169
1170 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1171
1172 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1173 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1174 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1175 is configured.
1176
1177 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1178 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1179 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1180 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1181 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1182 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1183 that of a valid user.
1184 (CVE-2016-0798)
1185 [Emilia Käsper]
1186
1187 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1188
1189 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1190 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1191 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1192 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1193 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1194 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1195 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1196 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1197 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1198 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1199 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1200
1201 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1202 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1203 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1204 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1205 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1206
1207 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1208 (CVE-2016-0797)
1209 [Matt Caswell]
1210
1211 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1212
1213 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1214 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1215 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1216
1217 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1218 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1219 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1220 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1221 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1222 also occur.
1223
1224 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1225 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1226 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1227 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1228 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1229 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1230 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1231 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1232 as command line arguments.
1233
1234 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1235 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1236 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

1242 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1243
1244 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1245 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1246 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1247 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1248 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1249
1250 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of

1260 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

1262
1263 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1264 *) DH small subgroups
1265
1266 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1267 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1268 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1269 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1270 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1271 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1272 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1273 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1274 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1275 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1276
1277 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1278 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1279 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1280 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1281 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1282
1283 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1284 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1285 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1286 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1287
1288 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1289 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.

1296
1297 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1298 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1299 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1300 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1309 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1310
1311 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1312 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1313 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1314 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1315 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1316 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1317 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1318 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1319 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1320 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1321 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1322 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1329
1330 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1331 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1332 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1333 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1334 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1335 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1336 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

1368
1369 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1370 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1371 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1372 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1373 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1374 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1392 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1393 field.
1394
1395 This can be used to perform denial of service against any

1408 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1409 time string.
1410
1411 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1412 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1413 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1414 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client

1472
1473 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1474
1475 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1476 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1477 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1478 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1479 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1480 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1481 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1482 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.

1484 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1485 (CVE-2015-0290)
1486 [Matt Caswell]
1487
1488 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1489
1490 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1491 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1492 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1493 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1494 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1495 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1496 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1497 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1498 server.

1505
1506 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1507 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1508 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1509 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1510 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1511 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

1516
1517 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer

1519 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1520 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1521 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1522 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1523 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1524
1525 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1526 (CVE-2015-0208)
1527 [Stephen Henson]
1528
1529 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1530
1531 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1532 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1533 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1534
1535 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1536 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1537 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1538 not affected.
1539 (CVE-2015-0287)
1540 [Stephen Henson]
1541
1542 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1543
1544 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1545 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1546 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1547
1548 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1549 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1550 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1551
1552 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1553 (CVE-2015-0289)
1554 [Emilia Käsper]
1555
1556 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1557
1558 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1559 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1560 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1561
1562 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1563 (OpenSSL development team).
1564 (CVE-2015-0293)
1565 [Emilia Käsper]
1566
1567 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1568
1569 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1570 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1571 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1572 (CVE-2015-1787)
1573 [Matt Caswell]
1574
1575 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1576
1577 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1578 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1579 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1580 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1581 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1582 SSL_client_methodv23)
1583 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1584 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1585
1586 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1587 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1588 output may be predictable.
1589
1590 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1591 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1592
1593 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1594 (CVE-2015-0285)
1595 [Matt Caswell]
1596
1597 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1598
1599 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1600 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1601 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1602 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1603 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1604 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1605
1606 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1607 commit 517073cd4b.
1608 (CVE-2015-0209)
1609 [Matt Caswell]
1610
1611 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1612
1613 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1614 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1615
1616 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
1617 (CVE-2015-0288)
1618 [Stephen Henson]
1619
1620 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
1621 [Kurt Roeckx]
1622
1623 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1624
1625 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1626 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1627 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
1628 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1629 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1630 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1631 [Andy Polyakov]
1632
1633 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1634 (other platforms pending).
1635 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1636
1637 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1638 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1639 [Rob Stradling]
1640
1641 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1642 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1643 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1644 [Bodo Moeller]
1645
1646 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1647 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1648 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1649 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1650 [Andy Polyakov]
1651
1652 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1653 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1654
1655 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1656 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1657 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1658 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1659 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1660
1661 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1662 [Andy Polyakov]
1663
1664 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1665 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1666 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1667 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1668
1669 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1670 RSAZ.
1671 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1672
1673 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1674 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1675 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1676 for TLS encrypt.
1677
1678 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1679 [Andy Polyakov]
1680
1681 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1682 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1683 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1684 [Steve Henson]
1685
1686 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1687 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1688 [Steve Henson]
1689
1690 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1691 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1692 [Steve Henson]
1693
1694 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1695 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1696 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1697 algorithms and include tests cases.
1698 [Steve Henson]
1699
1700 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1701 structure.
1702 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1703
1704 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1705 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1706 [Steve Henson]
1707
1708 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1709 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1710 summary of the connection parameters.
1711 [Steve Henson]
1712
1713 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1714 of connection parameters.
1715 [Steve Henson]
1716
1717 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1718 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1719
1720 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1721 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1722 [Steve Henson]
1723
1724 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1725 [Steve Henson]
1726
1727 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1728 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1729 [Steve Henson]
1730
1731 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1732 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1733 [Steve Henson]
1734
1735 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1736 certificates.
1737 [Steve Henson]
1738
1739 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1740 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1741 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1742 [Steve Henson]
1743
1744 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1745 [Steve Henson]
1746
1747 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1748 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1749 [Steve Henson]
1750
1751 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1752 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1753 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1754 tracing.
1755 [Steve Henson]
1756
1757 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1758 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1759 [Steve Henson]
1760
1761 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1762 OID NID.
1763 [Steve Henson]
1764
1765 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1766 client to OpenSSL.
1767 [Steve Henson]
1768
1769 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1770 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1771 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1772 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1773 [Steve Henson]
1774
1775 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1776 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1777 [Steve Henson]
1778
1779 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1780 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1781 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1782 comparison.
1783 [Steve Henson]
1784
1785 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1786 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1787 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1788 use the certificate.
1789 [Steve Henson]
1790
1791 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1792 [Steve Henson]
1793
1794 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1795 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1796 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
1797 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1798 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1799 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1800 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1801
1802 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1803 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1804
1805 [Steve Henson]
1806
1807 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1808 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1809 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1810 [Steve Henson]
1811
1812 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1813 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1814 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1815 supported signature algorithms.
1816 [Steve Henson]
1817
1818 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1819 [Steve Henson]
1820
1821 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1822 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1823 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1824 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1825 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1826 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1827 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1828 [Steve Henson]
1829
1830 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1831 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1832 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1833 to have similar checks in it.
1834
1835 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1836 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1837 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1838 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1839 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1840 [Steve Henson]
1841
1842 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1843 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1844 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1845 shared signature algorithms.
1846 [Steve Henson]
1847
1848 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1849 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1850 to support them.
1851 [Steve Henson]
1852
1853 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1854 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1855 it couldn't be removed.
1856 [Steve Henson]
1857
1858 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1859 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
1860 [Steve Henson]
1861
1862 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1863 functions. Add manual page.
1864 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1865
1866 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1867 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1868 a certificate.
1869 [Steve Henson]
1870
1871 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1872 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1873
1874 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1875 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1876 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1877 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1878 utility) or reject.
1879 [Steve Henson]
1880
1881 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1882 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1883 [Steve Henson]
1884
1885 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1886 platform support for Linux and Android.
1887 [Andy Polyakov]
1888
1889 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1890 [Andy Polyakov]
1891
1892 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1893 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1894 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1895 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1896 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1897 [Steve Henson]
1898
1899 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1900 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1901 the new parameter format automatically.
1902 [Steve Henson]
1903
1904 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1905 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1906 [Steve Henson]
1907
1908 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1909 [Steve Henson]
1910
1911 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1912 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1913 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1914 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1915 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1916 [Steve Henson]
1917
1918 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1919 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1920 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1921 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1922 to set list of supported curves.
1923 [Steve Henson]
1924
1925 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1926 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1927 to print out received values.
1928 [Steve Henson]
1929
1930 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1931 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1932 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1933 [Steve Henson]
1934
1935 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1936 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1937 [Steve Henson]
1938
1939 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1940 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1941 [Steve Henson]
1942
1943 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1944 certificates.
1945 [Steve Henson]
1946
1947 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1948 the certificate.
1949 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1950 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1951 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1952
1953 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1954
1955 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1956 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1957
1958 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1959
1960 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1961 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1962 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1963 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1964 (CVE-2014-3571)
1965 [Steve Henson]
1966
1967 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1968 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1969 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1970 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1971 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1972 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1973 (CVE-2015-0206)
1974 [Matt Caswell]
1975
1976 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1977 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1978 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1979 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1980 (CVE-2014-3569)
1981 [Kurt Roeckx]
1982
1983 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1984 ECDH ciphersuites.
1985
1986 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1987 reporting this issue.
1988 (CVE-2014-3572)
1989 [Steve Henson]
1990
1991 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1992 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1993 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1994 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1995 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1996 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1997 (CVE-2015-0204)
1998 [Steve Henson]
1999
2000 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2001 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2002 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2003 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2004 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2005 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2006 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2007 this issue.
2008 (CVE-2015-0205)
2009 [Steve Henson]
2010
2011 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2012 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2013
2014 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2015 and can vary with the CTX.
2016 [Adam Langley]
2017
2018 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2019
2020 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2021 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2022 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2023 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2024 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2025
2026 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2027
2028 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2029 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2030
2031 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2032
2033 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2034 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2035 errors for some broken certificates.
2036
2037 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2038
2039 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2040
2041 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2042 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2043
2044 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2045 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2046 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2047 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2048
2049 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2050 of the OpenSSL core team.
2051
2052 (CVE-2014-8275)
2053 [Steve Henson]
2054
2055 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2056 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2057 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2058 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2059 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2060 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2061 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2062 the OpenSSL core team.
2063 (CVE-2014-3570)
2064 [Andy Polyakov]
2065
2066 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2067 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2068 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2069 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2070 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2071
2072 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2073 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2074 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2075 [Emilia Käsper]
2076
2077 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2078 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2079 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2080 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2081 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2082
2083 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2084 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2085 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2086 [Emilia Käsper]
2087
2088 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2089
2090 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2091
2092 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2093 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2094 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2095 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2096 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2097 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2098 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2099
2100 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2101 (CVE-2014-3513)
2102 [OpenSSL team]
2103
2104 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2105
2106 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2107 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2108 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2109 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2110 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2111 attack.
2112 (CVE-2014-3567)
2113 [Steve Henson]
2114
2115 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2116
2117 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2118 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2119 configured to send them.
2120 (CVE-2014-3568)
2121 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2122
2123 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2124 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2125 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2126 (CVE-2014-3566)
2127 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2128
2129 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2130
2131 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2132 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2133 DigestInfo structures.
2134
2135 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2136
2137 [Steve Henson]
2138
2139 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2140
2141 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2142 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2143 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2144
2145 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2146 Group for discovering this issue.
2147 (CVE-2014-3512)
2148 [Steve Henson]
2149
2150 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2151 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2152 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2153 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2154 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2155
2156 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2157 researching this issue.
2158 (CVE-2014-3511)
2159 [David Benjamin]
2160
2161 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2162 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2163 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2164 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2165
2166 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2167 issue.
2168 (CVE-2014-3510)
2169 [Emilia Käsper]
2170
2171 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2172 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2173 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2174 (CVE-2014-3507)
2175 [Adam Langley]
2176
2177 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2178 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2179 Denial of Service attack.
2180 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2181 (CVE-2014-3506)
2182 [Adam Langley]
2183
2184 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2185 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2186 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2187 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2188 this issue.
2189 (CVE-2014-3505)
2190 [Adam Langley]
2191
2192 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2193 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2194 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2195
2196 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2197 issue.
2198 (CVE-2014-3509)
2199 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2200
2201 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2202 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2203 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2204 Denial of Service attack.
2205
2206 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2207 discovering and researching this issue.
2208 (CVE-2014-5139)
2209 [Steve Henson]
2210
2211 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2212 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2213 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2214 output to the attacker.
2215
2216 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2217 (CVE-2014-3508)
2218 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2219
2220 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2221 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2222 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2223 [Bodo Moeller]
2224
2225 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2226
2227 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2228 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2229 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2230
2231 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2232 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2233 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2234
2235 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2236 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2237 in a DoS attack.
2238
2239 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2240 (CVE-2014-0221)
2241 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2242
2243 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2244 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2245 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2246 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2247
2248 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2249 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2250
2251 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2252 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2253
2254 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2255 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2256 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2257
2258 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2259 compilation flags.
2260 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2261
2262 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2263 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2264 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2265
2266 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2267 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2268
2269 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2270
2271 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2272 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2273 server.
2274
2275 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2276 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2277 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2278 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2279
2280 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2281 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2282 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2283 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2284
2285 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2286 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2287 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2288
2289 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2290
2291 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2292 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2293 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2294 is at least 512 bytes long.
2295
2296 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2297
2298 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2299
2300 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2301 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2302 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2303 (CVE-2013-4353)
2304
2305 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2306 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2307 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2308 [Steve Henson]
2309
2310 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2311 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2312 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2313 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2314 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2315 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2316 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2317
2318 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2319
2320 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2321 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2322 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2323
2324 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2325
2326 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2327
2328 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2329 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2330 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2331
2332 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2333 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2334 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2335 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2336 (CVE-2013-0169)
2337 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2338
2339 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2340 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2341 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2342 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2343 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2344 (CVE-2012-2686)
2345 [Adam Langley]
2346
2347 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2348 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2349 [Steve Henson]
2350
2351 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2352 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2353
2354 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2355 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2356 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2357 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2358 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2359
2360 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2361 [Steve Henson]
2362
2363 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2364 if renegotiating.
2365 [Steve Henson]
2366
2367 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2368
2369 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2370 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2371
2372 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2373 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2374 (CVE-2012-2333)
2375 [Steve Henson]
2376
2377 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2378 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2379 [Steve Henson]
2380
2381 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2382 approved.
2383 [Steve Henson]
2384
2385 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2386
2387 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2388 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2389 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2390 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2391 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2392 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2393 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2394 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2395 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2396 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2397 [Steve Henson]
2398
2399 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2400 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2401 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2402 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2403 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2404 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2405 client side.
2406 [Andy Polyakov]
2407
2408 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2409
2410 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2411 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2412 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2413
2414 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2415 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2416 (CVE-2012-2110)
2417 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2418
2419 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2420 [Adam Langley]
2421
2422 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2423 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2424
2425 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2426 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2427 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2428 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2429 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2430 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2431 Most broken servers should now work.
2432 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2433 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2434 [Steve Henson]
2435
2436 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2437 [Andy Polyakov]
2438
2439 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2440
2441 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2442 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2443 [Steve Henson]
2444
2445 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2446 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2447 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2448 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2449 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2450 [Steve Henson]
2451
2452 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2453 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2454 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2455 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2456 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2457 [Steve Henson]
2458
2459 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2460 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2461
2462 *) Add support for SCTP.
2463 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2464
2465 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2466 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2467
2468 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2469
2470 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2471 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2472 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2473 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2474 - s390x: z196 support;
2475 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2476
2477 [Andy Polyakov]
2478
2479 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2480 (removal of unnecessary code)
2481 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2482
2483 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2484 [Eric Rescorla]
2485
2486 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2487 [Eric Rescorla]
2488
2489 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2490 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2491 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2492 by Google.
2493 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2494
2495 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2496 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2497 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2498 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2499 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2500
2501 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2502 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2503 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2504
2505 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2506 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2507 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2508
2509 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2510 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2511 implementations).
2512 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2513
2514 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2515 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2516 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2517 [Steve Henson]
2518
2519 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2520 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2521 particular PSS.
2522 [Steve Henson]
2523
2524 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2525 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2526 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2527 [Steve Henson]
2528
2529 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2530 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2531 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2532 the appropriate parameters.
2533 [Steve Henson]
2534
2535 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2536 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2537 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2538 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2539 against a number of sample certificates.
2540 [Steve Henson]
2541
2542 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2543 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2544
2545 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2546 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2547
2548 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2549 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2550 parameters r, s.
2551 [Steve Henson]
2552
2553 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2554 RFC3211.
2555 [Steve Henson]
2556
2557 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2558 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2559 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2560 password based CMS).
2561 [Steve Henson]
2562
2563 *) Session-handling fixes:
2564 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2565 but also support Session Tickets.
2566 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2567 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2568 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2569 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2570 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2571 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2572
2573 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2574 [Bodo Moeller]
2575
2576 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2577
2578 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2579 [Andy Polyakov]
2580
2581 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2582 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2583 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2584 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2585 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2586 [Steve Henson]
2587
2588 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2589 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2590 [Steve Henson]
2591
2592 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2593 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2594 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2595 [Steve Henson]
2596
2597 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2598 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2599 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2600 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2601 [Steve Henson]
2602
2603 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2604 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2605 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2606 [Steve Henson]
2607
2608 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2609 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2610
2611 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2612 [Steve Henson]
2613
2614 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2615 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2616 [Steve Henson]
2617
2618 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2619 [Steve Henson]
2620
2621 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2622 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2623 [Steve Henson]
2624
2625 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2626 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2627 [Steve Henson]
2628
2629 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2630 [Steve Henson]
2631
2632 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2633 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2634 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2635 [Steve Henson]
2636
2637 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2638 [Steve Henson]
2639
2640 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2641 [Steve Henson]
2642
2643 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2644 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2645 [Steve Henson]
2646
2647 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2648 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2649 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2650 [Steve Henson]
2651
2652 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2653 [Steve Henson]
2654
2655 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2656 and enable MD5.
2657 [Steve Henson]
2658
2659 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2660 FIPS modules versions.
2661 [Steve Henson]
2662
2663 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2664 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2665 until after the certificate request message is received.
2666 [Steve Henson]
2667
2668 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2669 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2670 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2671 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2672 [Steve Henson]
2673
2674 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2675 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2676 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2677 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2678 [Steve Henson]
2679
2680 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2681 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2682 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2683 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2684 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2685 and version checking.
2686 [Steve Henson]
2687
2688 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2689 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2690 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2691 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2692 [Steve Henson]
2693
2694 *) Add SRP support.
2695 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2696
2697 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2698 [Steve Henson]
2699
2700 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2701 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2702 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2703
2704 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2705 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2706 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2707 [Steve Henson]
2708
2709 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2710 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2711
2712 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2713 a few changes are required:
2714
2715 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2716 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2717 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2718 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2719 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2720 [Steve Henson]
2721
2722 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2723
2724 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2725 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2726 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2727 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2728 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2729 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2730 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2731 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2732 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2733 [Steve Henson]
2734
2735 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2736 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2737 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2738 [Steve Henson]
2739
2740 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2741
2742 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2743 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2744 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2745 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2746 [Antonio Martin]
2747
2748 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2749
2750 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2751 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2752 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2753 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2754 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2755 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2756 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2757 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2758 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2759 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2760 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2761 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2762 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2763
2764 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2765 (CVE-2011-4576)
2766 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2767
2768 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2769 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2770 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2771 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2772
2773 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2774 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2775
2776 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2777 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2778 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2779 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2780
2781 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2782 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2783
2784 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2785 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2786
2787 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2788 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2789
2790 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2791 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2792 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2793
2794 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2795 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2796 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2797
2798 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2799 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2800 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2801 the last update always remained unused).
2802 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2803
2804 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2805 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2806
2807 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2808
2809 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2810 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2811 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2812
2813 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2814 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2815 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2816
2817 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2818 [Bodo Moeller]
2819
2820 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2821 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2822 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2823 [Steve Henson]
2824
2825 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2826 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2827
2828 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2829
2830 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2831
2832 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2833
2834 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2835 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2836
2837 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2838 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2839 ambiguous.
2840 [Steve Henson]
2841
2842 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2843
2844 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2845 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2846 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2847 [Steve Henson]
2848
2849 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2850 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2851 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2852 [Ben Laurie]
2853
2854 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2855
2856 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2857 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2858 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2859 [Steve Henson]
2860
2861 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2862 a DLL.
2863 [Steve Henson]
2864
2865 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2866
2867 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2868 (CVE-2010-1633)
2869 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2870
2871 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2872
2873 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2874 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2875 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2876 [Steve Henson]
2877
2878 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2879 [Steve Henson]
2880
2881 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2882 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2883 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2884
2885 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2886 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2887 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2888 [Steve Henson]
2889
2890 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2891 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2892 [Steve Henson]
2893
2894 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2895 some responders need this.
2896 [Steve Henson]
2897
2898 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2899 correctly.
2900 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2901
2902 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2903 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2904 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2905 [Steve Henson]
2906
2907 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2908 [Steve Henson]
2909
2910 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2911 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2912 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2913 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2914 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2915 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2916 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2917 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2918 [Steve Henson]
2919
2920 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2921 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2922 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2923 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2924
2925 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2926 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2927
2928 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2929 be used on C++.
2930 [Steve Henson]
2931
2932 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2933 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2934 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2935 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2936 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2937 attempting to work them out.
2938 [Steve Henson]
2939
2940 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2941 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2942 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2943 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2944 [Steve Henson]
2945
2946 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2947 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2948 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2949 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2950 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2951 [Steve Henson]
2952
2953 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2954 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2955 you can do:
2956
2957 openssl sha256 foo
2958
2959 as well as:
2960
2961 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2962
2963 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2964
2965 [Steve Henson]
2966
2967 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2968 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2969
2970 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2971 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2972
2973 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2974 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2975 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2976 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2977 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2978 [Steve Henson]
2979
2980 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2981 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2982 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2983 [Steve Henson]
2984
2985 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2986 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2987 [Steve Henson]
2988
2989 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2990 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2991
2992 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2993 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2994 [Steve Henson]
2995
2996 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2997 [Ben Laurie]
2998
2999 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3000 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3001 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3002 CONF_VALUE.
3003 [Ben Laurie]
3004
3005 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3006 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3007 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3008 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3009 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3010 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3011 [Steve Henson]
3012
3013 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3014 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3015
3016 This work was sponsored by Google.
3017 [Steve Henson]
3018
3019 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3020 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3021 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3022 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3023 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3024 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
3025 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3026 default.
3027
3028 This work was sponsored by Google.
3029 [Steve Henson]
3030
3031 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3032
3033 This work was sponsored by Google.
3034 [Steve Henson]
3035
3036 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3037 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3038 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3039 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3040
3041 This work was sponsored by Google.
3042 [Steve Henson]
3043
3044 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3045 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3046 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3047 CRL functionality in future.
3048
3049 This work was sponsored by Google.
3050 [Steve Henson]
3051
3052 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3053
3054 This work was sponsored by Google.
3055 [Steve Henson]
3056
3057 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3058 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3059
3060 This work was sponsored by Google.
3061 [Steve Henson]
3062
3063 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3064 and URI types are currently supported.
3065
3066 This work was sponsored by Google.
3067 [Steve Henson]
3068
3069 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3070 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3071 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3072 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3073 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3074 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3075 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3076 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3077
3078 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3079 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3080 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3081
3082 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3083 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3084 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3085 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3086
3087 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3088 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3089 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3090 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3091 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3092 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3093 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3094 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3095 of &errno.)
3096 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3097
3098 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3099 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3100 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3101
3102 This work was sponsored by Google.
3103 [Steve Henson]
3104
3105 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3106 [Ben Laurie]
3107
3108 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3109 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3110 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3111 [Ben Laurie]
3112
3113 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3114 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3115 [Nick Mathewson]
3116
3117 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3118 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3119 [Ben Laurie]
3120
3121 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3122 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3123 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3124 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3125 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3126 content types and variants.
3127 [Steve Henson]
3128
3129 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3130 [Steve Henson]
3131
3132 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3133 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3134 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3135 files from the associated perl scripts.
3136 [Steve Henson]
3137
3138 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3139 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3140 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3141
3142 *) s390x assembler pack.
3143 [Andy Polyakov]
3144
3145 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3146 "family."
3147 [Andy Polyakov]
3148
3149 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3150 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3151 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3152 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3153 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3154 to use. For example, specify an option
3155
3156 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3157
3158 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3159 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3160 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3161 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3162 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3163 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3164
3165 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3166 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3167 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3168 return non-zero for success.
3169
3170 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3171 by using
3172
3173 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3174 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3175
3176 where
3177
3178 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3179 void *arg;
3180
3181 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3182 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3183 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3184 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3185 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3186 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3187 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3188 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3189 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3190
3191 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3192 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3193 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3194 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3195 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3196 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3197
3198 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3199 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3200 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3201 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3202 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3203 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3204
3205 [Bodo Moeller]
3206
3207 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3208 MAC.
3209
3210 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3211
3212 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3213 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3214 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3215 supported.
3216
3217 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3218 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3219 SSL_SESSION.
3220
3221 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3222 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3223 with no application modification.
3224
3225 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3226 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3227
3228 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3229 or server extensions to be examined.
3230
3231 This work was sponsored by Google.
3232 [Steve Henson]
3233
3234 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3235 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3236 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3237
3238 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3239 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3240 ciphersuite support.
3241 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3242
3243 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3244 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3245 to output in BER and PEM format.
3246 [Steve Henson]
3247
3248 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3249 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3250 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3251 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3252 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3253 [Steve Henson]
3254
3255 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3256 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3257 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3258 utility.
3259 [Steve Henson]
3260
3261 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3262 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3263 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3264 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3265 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3266 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3267 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3268 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3269 enabled again.
3270
3271 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3272 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3273 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3274 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3275
3276 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3277 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3278 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3279 the default order.
3280 [Bodo Moeller]
3281
3282 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3283 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3284 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3285 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3286 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3287 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3288 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3289 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3290 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3291
3292 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3293 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3294 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3295 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3296 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3297 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3298 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3299 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3300 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3301 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3302 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3303 kinds of kludges.
3304
3305 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3306 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3307 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3308
3309 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3310 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3311 "CAMELLIA256".
3312 [Bodo Moeller]
3313
3314 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3315 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3316 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3317 [Nils Larsch]
3318
3319 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3320 it yet and it is largely untested.
3321 [Steve Henson]
3322
3323 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3324 [Nils Larsch]
3325
3326 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3327 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3328 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3329 [Steve Henson]
3330
3331 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3332 [Andy Polyakov]
3333
3334 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3335 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3336 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3337 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3338 [Steve Henson]
3339
3340 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3341 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3342 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3343 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3344 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3345 [Steve Henson]
3346
3347 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3348 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3349 [Cryptocom]
3350
3351 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3352 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3353 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3354 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3355 [Steve Henson]
3356
3357 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3358 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3359 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3360 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3361 [Steve Henson]
3362
3363 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3364 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3365 [Steve Henson]
3366
3367 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3368 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3369 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3370 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3371 [Steve Henson]
3372
3373 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3374 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3375 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3376 [Steve Henson]
3377
3378 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3379 utility.
3380 [Steve Henson]
3381
3382 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3383 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3384 [Steve Henson]
3385
3386 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3387 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3388 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3389 if necessary.
3390 [Steve Henson]
3391
3392 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3393 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3394 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3395 [Steve Henson]
3396
3397 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3398 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3399 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3400 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3401 [Steve Henson]
3402
3403 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3404 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3405 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3406 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3407 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3408 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3409 [Douglas Stebila]
3410
3411 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3412 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3413 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3414 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3415 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3416
3417 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3418 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3419 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3420 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3421 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3422 protocol).
3423
3424 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3425 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3426 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3427 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3428
3429 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3430 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3431 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3432 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3433 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3434
3435 aECDH - ECDH cert
3436 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3437 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3438
3439 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3440 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3441
3442 [Bodo Moeller]
3443
3444 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3445 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3446 [Steve Henson]
3447
3448 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3449 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3450 [Steve Henson]
3451
3452 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3453 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3454 functional reference processing.
3455 [Steve Henson]
3456
3457 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3458 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3459 process.
3460 [Steve Henson]
3461
3462 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3463 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3464 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3465 [Steve Henson]
3466
3467 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3468 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3469 application to support multiple signers.
3470 [Steve Henson]
3471
3472 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3473 digest MAC.
3474 [Steve Henson]
3475
3476 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3477 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3478 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3479 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3480 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3481 [Steve Henson]
3482
3483 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3484 new API.
3485 [Steve Henson]
3486
3487 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3488 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3489 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3490 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3491 a no op.
3492 [Steve Henson]
3493
3494 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3495 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3496 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3497 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3498 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3499 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3500 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3501 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3502 [Steve Henson]
3503
3504 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3505 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3506 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3507 between digests and public key types.
3508 [Steve Henson]
3509
3510 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3511 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3512 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3513 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3514 [Steve Henson]
3515
3516 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3517 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3518 key ASN1 method.
3519 [Steve Henson]
3520
3521 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3522 [Steve Henson]
3523
3524 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3525 pkeyutl.
3526 [Steve Henson]
3527
3528 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3529 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3530 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3531 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3532 pkey, genpkey.
3533 [Steve Henson]
3534
3535 *) BeOS support.
3536 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3537
3538 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3539 manual pages.
3540 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3541
3542 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3543 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3544 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3545 functionality for RSA.
3546 [Steve Henson]
3547
3548 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3549 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3550 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3551 [Steve Henson]
3552
3553 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3554 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3555 [Steve Henson]
3556
3557 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3558 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3559 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3560 [Steve Henson]
3561
3562 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3563 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3564 [Douglas Stebila]
3565
3566 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3567 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3568 [Steve Henson]
3569
3570 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3571 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3572 type.
3573 [Steve Henson]
3574
3575 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3576 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3577 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3578 structure.
3579 [Steve Henson]
3580
3581 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3582 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3583 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3584 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3585 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3586 of public and private key structures.
3587 [Steve Henson]
3588
3589 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3590 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3591 [Douglas Stebila]
3592
3593 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3594 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3595 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3596
3597 New ciphersuites:
3598 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3599 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3600
3601 New functions:
3602 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3603 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3604 SSL_get_psk_identity
3605 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3606
3607 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3608
3609 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3610 and response verification functionality.
3611 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3612
3613 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3614 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3615 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3616 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3617 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3618 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3619 server_name extension.
3620
3621 New functions (subject to change):
3622
3623 SSL_get_servername()
3624 SSL_get_servername_type()
3625 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3626
3627 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3628
3629 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3630 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3631 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3632 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3633 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3634
3635 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3636
3637 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3638 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3639 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3640 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3641 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3642 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3643 option.
3644
3645 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3646
3647 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3648 [Andy Polyakov]
3649
3650 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3651 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3652 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3653 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3654 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3655 [Andy Polyakov]
3656
3657 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3658 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3659 macro.
3660 [Bodo Moeller]
3661
3662 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3663 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3664 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3665 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3666 [Andy Polyakov]
3667
3668 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3669 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3670 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3671 using the maximum available value.
3672 [Steve Henson]
3673
3674 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3675 in addition to the text details.
3676 [Bodo Moeller]
3677
3678 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3679 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3680 handle several customised structures at all.
3681 [Steve Henson]
3682
3683 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3684 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3685 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3686 [Steve Henson]
3687
3688 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3689 [Steve Henson]
3690
3691 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3692 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3693 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3694 [Steve Henson]
3695
3696 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3697 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3698 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3699 [Nils Larsch]
3700
3701 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3702 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3703 all fields.
3704 [Steve Henson]
3705
3706 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3707 [Steve Henson]
3708
3709 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3710 [NTT]
3711
3712 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3713
3714 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3715 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3716 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3717 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3718 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3719 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3720 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3721 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3722
3723 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3724 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3725 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3726
3727 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3728
3729 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3730 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3731
3732 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3733 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3734 [Bodo Moeller]
3735
3736 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3737 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3738 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3739 [Steve Henson]
3740
3741 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3742 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3743 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3744 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3745 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3746 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3747 [Steve Henson]
3748
3749 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3750 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3751 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3752 [Steve Henson]
3753
3754 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3755 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3756 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3757 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3758 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3759 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3760 CVE-2009-4355.
3761 [Steve Henson]
3762
3763 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3764 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3765 [Bodo Moeller]
3766
3767 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3768 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3769 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3770 [Steve Henson]
3771
3772 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3773 [Steve Henson]
3774
3775 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3776 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3777 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3778 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3779 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3780 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3781 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3782 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3783 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3784 [Steve Henson]
3785
3786 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3787 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3788 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3789 [Steve Henson]
3790
3791 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3792 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3793 [Steve Henson]
3794
3795 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3796 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3797 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3798 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3799 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3800 know what you are doing.
3801 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3802
3803 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3804 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3805 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3806 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3807 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3808 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3809 the handshake.
3810 [Steve Henson]
3811
3812 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3813 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3814 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3815 correctly.
3816 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3817
3818 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3819 warnings in other configurations.
3820 [Steve Henson]
3821
3822 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3823 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3824 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3825 systems need.
3826 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3827
3828 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3829 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3830 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3831
3832 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3833 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3834 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3835 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3836 [Steve Henson]
3837
3838 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3839 and restored.
3840 [Steve Henson]
3841
3842 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3843 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3844 clash.
3845 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3846
3847 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3848 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3849 other than a simple chain.
3850 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3851
3852 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3853 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3854 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3855 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3856 [Steve Henson]
3857
3858 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3859 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3860 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3861 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3862 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3863 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3864 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3865 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3866 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3867
3868 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3869 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3870 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3871 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3872 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3873 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3874 (CVE-2009-1377)
3875 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3876
3877 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3878 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3879 [Daniel Mentz]
3880
3881 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3882 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3883
3884 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
3885 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3886
3887 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3888
3889 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3890 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3891 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3892 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3893 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3894 you're doing.
3895 [Ben Laurie]
3896
3897 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3898
3899 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3900 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3901 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3902 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3903
3904 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3905 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3906 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3907 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3908
3909 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3910 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3911 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3912 [Steve Henson]
3913
3914 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3915 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3916 level.
3917 [Steve Henson]
3918
3919 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3920 to handle some structures.
3921 [Steve Henson]
3922
3923 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3924 for a '\n'
3925 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3926
3927 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3928 [Matthieu Herrb]
3929
3930 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3931 [Steve Henson]
3932
3933 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3934 [Steve Henson]
3935
3936 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3937 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3938 chosen compiler.
3939 [Ben Laurie]
3940
3941 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3942
3943 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3944 (CVE-2008-5077).
3945 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3946
3947 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3948 [Ben Laurie]
3949
3950 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3951 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3952 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3953 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3954
3955 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3956 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3957
3958 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3959 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3960 [Bodo Moeller]
3961
3962 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3963 s_client and s_server.
3964 [Ben Laurie]
3965
3966 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3967 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3968
3969 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3970 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3971
3972 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3973 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3974 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3975 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3976 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3977 [Bodo Moeller]
3978
3979 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3980
3981 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3982 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3983 [PR #1679]
3984
3985 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3986 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3987 [Nagendra Modadugu]
3988
3989 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3990 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3991 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3992 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3993
3994 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3995 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3996
3997 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3998
3999 *) Various precautionary measures:
4000
4001 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4002
4003 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4004 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4005 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4006
4007 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4008 outside the expected range.
4009
4010 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4011 builds.
4012
4013 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4014
4015 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4016 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4017 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4018
4019 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4020 [Steve Henson]
4021
4022 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4023 [Huang Ying]
4024
4025 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4026
4027 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4028 [Steve Henson]
4029
4030 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4031 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4032 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4033
4034 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4035 [Steve Henson]
4036
4037 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
4038 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4039 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
4040 files.
4041 [Steve Henson]
4042
4043 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4044
4045 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4046 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4047 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4048 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4049
4050 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4051 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4052 [Joe Orton]
4053
4054 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4055
4056 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4057 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4058 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4059
4060 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4061
4062 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4063 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4064 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4065 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4066 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4067
4068 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4069 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4070 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4071 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4072 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4073 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4074 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4075
4076 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4077
4078 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4079 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4080 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4081 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4082 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4083
4084 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4085 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4086
4087 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4088 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4089 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4090 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4091 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4092
4093 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4094
4095 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4096 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4097 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4098 sets may exist with different names.
4099 [Steve Henson]
4100
4101 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4102 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4103 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4104 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4105 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4106 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4107 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4108 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4109 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4110 implementation.
4111 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4112
4113 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4114 implemention in the following ways:
4115
4116 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4117 hard coded.
4118
4119 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4120 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4121 ignored for embedded content.
4122
4123 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4124 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4125 [Steve Henson]
4126
4127 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4128 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4129 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4130 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4131
4132 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4133 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4134 [Steve Henson]
4135
4136 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4137 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4138 [Steve Henson]
4139
4140 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4141 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4142 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4143 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4144 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4145 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4146 data.
4147 [Steve Henson]
4148
4149 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4150 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4151 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4152
4153 *) Netware support:
4154
4155 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4156 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4157 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4158 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4159 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4160 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4161 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4162 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4163 platform
4164 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4165 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4166 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4167 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4168 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4169 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4170 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4171
4172 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4173 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4174 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4175 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4176 to s_client and s_server.
4177 [Steve Henson]
4178
4179 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4180
4181 *) Fix various bugs:
4182 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4183 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4184 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4185 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4186 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4187
4188 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4189
4190 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4191 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4192 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4193 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4194 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4195 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4196 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4197 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4198 [Andy Polyakov]
4199
4200 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4201 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4202 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4203 Steve Henson]
4204
4205 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4206 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4207 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4208 supported.
4209
4210 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4211 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4212 SSL_SESSION.
4213
4214 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4215 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4216 with no application modification.
4217
4218 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4219 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4220
4221 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4222 or server extensions to be examined.
4223
4224 This work was sponsored by Google.
4225 [Steve Henson]
4226
4227 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4228 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4229 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4230 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4231 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4232 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4233 server_name extension.
4234
4235 New functions (subject to change):
4236
4237 SSL_get_servername()
4238 SSL_get_servername_type()
4239 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4240
4241 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4242
4243 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4244 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4245 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4246 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4247 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4248
4249 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4250
4251 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4252 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4253 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4254 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4255 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4256 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4257 option.
4258
4259 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4260
4261 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4262 [Steve Henson]
4263
4264 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4265 [Andy Polyakov]
4266
4267 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4268 (which previously caused an internal error).
4269 [Bodo Moeller]
4270
4271 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4272 [Ben Laurie]
4273
4274 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4275 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4276
4277 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4278 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4279 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4280
4281 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4282 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4283 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4284 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4285
4286 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4287 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4288 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4289 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4290
4291 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4292 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4293 information. For detailed background information, see
4294 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4295 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4296 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4297 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4298 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4299 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4300 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4301 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4302 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4303 remove a conditional branch.
4304
4305 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4306 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4307 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4308 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4309 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4310 remains as a deprecated alias.
4311
4312 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4313 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4314 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4315 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4316
4317 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4318 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4319 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4320 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4321 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4322 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4323 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4324 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4325
4326 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4327
4328 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4329 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4330 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4331 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4332 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4333 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4334 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4335 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4336 in a different context.
4337 [Bodo Moeller]
4338
4339 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4340 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4341 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4342 [Bodo Moeller]
4343
4344 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4345 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4346 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4347
4348 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4349
4350 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4351 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4352 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4353 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4354 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4355 [Victor Duchovni]
4356
4357 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4358 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4359 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4360 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4361 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4362 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4363 [Bodo Moeller]
4364
4365 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4366 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4367 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4368 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4369 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4370 [Bodo Moeller]
4371
4372 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4373 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4374
4375 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4376 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4377 Improve header file function name parsing.
4378 [Steve Henson]
4379
4380 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4381 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4382 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4383
4384 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4385
4386 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4387 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4388 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4389
4390 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4391 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4392
4393 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4394 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4395
4396 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4397 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4398 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4399
4400 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4401 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4402 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4403 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4404 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4405 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4406 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4407 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4408 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4409
4410 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4411 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4412 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4413 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4414 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4415
4416 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4417 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4418 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4419 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4420 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4421 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4422 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4423 multiple values to extend the available space.
4424

4427 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4428
4429 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4430 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4431
4432 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4433 [Ben Laurie]
4434
4435 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4436 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4437 undesirable limitations.
4438 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4439
4440 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4441 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4442 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4443 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4444 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4445 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4446 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4447 [Bodo Moeller]
4448
4449 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4450
4451 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4452 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4453 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4454
4455 The latter two were purportedly from
4456 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4457 appear there.
4458
4459 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4460 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4461 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4462 [Bodo Moeller]
4463
4464 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4465 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4466 [Bodo Moeller]
4467
4468 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4469 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4470 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4471 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4472
4473 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4474 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4475 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4476 [NTT]
4477
4478 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4479 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4480 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4481 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4482 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4483 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4484 [Steve Henson]
4485
4486 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4487
4488 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4489 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4490 [Steve Henson]
4491
4492 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4493 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4494
4495 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4496 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4497 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4498 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4499 [Douglas Stebila]
4500
4501 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4502 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4503 [Steve Henson]
4504
4505 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4506 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4507 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4508 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4509 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4510 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4511 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4512 can't be loaded.
4513 [Steve Henson]
4514
4515 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4516 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4517 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4518 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4519 [Steve Henson]
4520
4521 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4522 under VC++ build system.
4523 [Steve Henson]
4524
4525 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4526 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4527 [Richard Levitte]
4528
4529 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4530
4531 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4532 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4533 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4534 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4535 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4536
4537 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4538 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4539 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4540
4541 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4542 [Steve Henson]
4543
4544 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4545 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4546 [Nils Larsch]
4547
4548 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4549 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4550
4551 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4552 [Nick Mathewson]
4553
4554 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4555 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4556
4557 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4558 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4559 [Steve Henson]
4560
4561 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4562 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4563 smime utility.
4564 [Steve Henson]
4565
4566 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4567
4568 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4569 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4570
4571 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4572 [Richard Levitte]
4573
4574 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4575 key into the same file any more.
4576 [Richard Levitte]
4577
4578 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4579 [Andy Polyakov]
4580
4581 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4582 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4583
4584 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4585 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4586 [Richard Levitte]
4587
4588 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4589 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4590 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4591 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4592 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4593 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4594
4595 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4596 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4597 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4598 [Steve Henson]
4599
4600 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4601 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4602 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4603 - add new function for parameter creation
4604 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4605 BN_BLINDING parameters
4606 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4607 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4608 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4609 threads.
4610 [Nils Larsch]
4611
4612 *) Add support for DTLS.
4613 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4614
4615 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4616 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4617 [Walter Goulet]
4618
4619 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4620 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4621 [Nils Larsch]
4622
4623 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4624 the apps/openssl applications.
4625 [Nils Larsch]
4626
4627 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4628 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4629 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4630 [Ben Laurie]
4631
4632 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4633 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4634
4635 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4636 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4637
4638 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4639 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4640 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4641 avoid this algorithm.)
4642
4643 [Bodo Moeller]
4644
4645 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4646 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4647 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4648 [Richard Levitte]
4649
4650 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4651 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4652 [Andy Polyakov]
4653
4654 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4655 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4656 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4657 pod file:
4658
4659 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4660
4661 The blank line is mandatory.
4662
4663 [Steve Henson]
4664
4665 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4666 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4667 sources.
4668 [Steve Henson]
4669
4670 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4671 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4672
4673 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4674 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4675 to support policy checking and print out.
4676 [Steve Henson]
4677
4678 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4679 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4680 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4681 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4682
4683 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4684 [Geoff Thorpe]
4685
4686 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4687 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4688
4689 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4690 implementation contributed by IBM.
4691 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4692
4693 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4694 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4695 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4696 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4697
4698 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4699 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4700
4701 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4702 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4703 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4704 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4705 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4706 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4707 [Steve Henson]
4708
4709 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4710 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4711 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4712 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4713 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4714 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4715 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4716 [Geoff Thorpe]
4717
4718 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4719 [Steve Henson]
4720
4721 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4722 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4723 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4724 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4725 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4726 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4727 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4728 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4729 [Steve Henson]
4730
4731 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4732 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4733 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4734 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4735 [Steve Henson]
4736
4737 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4738 syntax:
4739
4740 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4741 [Steve Henson]
4742
4743 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4744 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4745 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4746 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4747 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4748 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4749 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4750 [Geoff Thorpe]
4751
4752 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4753 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4754 [Geoff Thorpe]
4755
4756 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4757 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4758 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4759 [Steve Henson]
4760
4761 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4762 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4763 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4764 below).
4765 [Geoff Thorpe]
4766
4767 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4768 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4769 [Richard Levitte]
4770
4771 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4772 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4773 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4774 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4775 [Geoff Thorpe]
4776
4777 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4778 initialised value as BN_new().
4779 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4780
4781 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4782 [Steve Henson]
4783
4784 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4785 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4786 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4787 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4788 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4789 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4790 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4791 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4792 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4793 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4794 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4795 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4796 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4797 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4798 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4799
4800 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4801 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4802 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4803 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4804 [Geoff Thorpe]
4805
4806 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4807 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4808 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4809 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4810 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4811 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4812 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4813 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4814 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4815 [Geoff Thorpe]
4816
4817 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4818 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4819 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4820 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4821 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4822 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4823 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4824 [Geoff Thorpe]
4825
4826 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4827 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4828 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4829 these have been updated also.
4830 [Geoff Thorpe]
4831
4832 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4833 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4834 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4835 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4836 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4837 functions.
4838 [Steve Henson]
4839
4840 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4841 structure of type "other".
4842 [Steve Henson]
4843
4844 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4845 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4846 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4847 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4848 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4849 situation in the script.
4850 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4851
4852 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4853 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4854 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4855 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4856 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4857 used as premaster secret.
4858 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4859
4860 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4861 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4862 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4863
4864 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4865 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4866
4867 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4868 control of the error stack.
4869 [Richard Levitte]
4870
4871 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4872 [Richard Levitte]
4873
4874 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4875 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4876 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4877 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4878 [Richard Levitte]
4879
4880 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4881 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4882 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4883 [Richard Levitte]
4884
4885 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4886 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4887 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4888 a memory area.
4889 [Richard Levitte]
4890
4891 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4892 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4893 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4894 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4895 [Richard Levitte]
4896
4897 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4898 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4899 the following flags are defined:
4900
4901 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4902 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4903 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4904 number.
4905
4906 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4907 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4908 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4909 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4910 returns zero.
4911 [Richard Levitte]
4912
4913 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4914 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4915 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4916 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4917 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4918 [Richard Levitte]
4919
4920 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4921 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4922 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4923 [Richard Levitte]
4924
4925 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4926 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4927 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4928 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4929 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4930 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4931 [Richard Levitte]
4932
4933 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4934 req and dirName.
4935 [Steve Henson]
4936
4937 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4938 [Steve Henson]
4939
4940 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4941 [Steve Henson]
4942
4943 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4944 [Steve Henson]
4945
4946 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4947 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4948 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4949 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4950 default implementation more easily.
4951 [Geoff Thorpe]
4952
4953 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4954 in config files.
4955 [Steve Henson]
4956
4957 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4958 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4959 [Richard Levitte]
4960
4961 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4962 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4963 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4964 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4965
4966 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4967 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4968 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4969 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4970 [Steve Henson]
4971
4972 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4973 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4974 to do it.
4975 [Richard Levitte]
4976
4977 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4978 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
4979 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
4980 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
4981 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
4982 scalar * generator).
4983 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
4984
4985 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
4986 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
4987 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
4988 correctly.
4989 [Steve Henson]
4990
4991 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
4992 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
4993 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
4994 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
4995 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
4996 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
4997 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
4998 linker additions, eg;
4999 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5000 [Geoff Thorpe]
5001
5002 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5003 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5004 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5005 [Geoff Thorpe]
5006
5007 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5008 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5009 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5010 via PR#459)
5011 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5012
5013 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5014 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5015 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5016 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5017 [Geoff Thorpe]
5018
5019 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5020 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5021 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5022 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5023 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5024 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5025 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5026 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5027 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5028 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5029
5030 Example for using the new callback interface:
5031
5032 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5033 void *my_arg = ...;
5034 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5035
5036 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5037
5038 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5039 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5040 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5041 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5042 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5043 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5044 */
5045
5046 [Geoff Thorpe]
5047
5048 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5049 available to TLS with the number defined in
5050 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5051 [Richard Levitte]
5052
5053 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5054 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5055
5056 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5057 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5058 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5059 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5060
5061 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5062 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5063
5064 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5065 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5066 well.
5067 [Richard Levitte]
5068
5069 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5070 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5071 [Richard Levitte]
5072
5073 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5074 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5075 and a macro that behave like
5076 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5077
5078 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5079 [Nils Larsch]
5080
5081 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5082 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5083 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5084 if applicable.
5085 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5086
5087 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5088 [Bodo Moeller]
5089
5090 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5091 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5092 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5093 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5094 directory engines/.
5095 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5096 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5097 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5098 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5099 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
5100 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5101 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5102 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5103
5104 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5105 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5106 [Richard Levitte]
5107
5108 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5109 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5110
5111 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5112 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5113 files while avoiding the low level API.
5114
5115 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5116 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5117 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5118 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5119
5120 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5121 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5122 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5123 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5124 instead of the low level API.
5125 [Steve Henson]
5126
5127 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5128 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5129 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5130 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5131 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5132 PKCS#7 code.
5133
5134 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5135 down to the template encoder.
5136 [Steve Henson]
5137
5138 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5139 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5140 [Bodo Moeller]
5141
5142 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5143 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5144 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5145 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5146
5147 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5148 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5149
5150 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5151 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5152
5153 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5154 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5155 [Bodo Moeller]
5156
5157 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5158 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5159 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5160 [Bodo Moeller]
5161
5162 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5163 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5164
5165 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5166 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5167
5168 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5169 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5170 New EC_METHOD:
5171
5172 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5173
5174 New API functions:
5175
5176 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5177 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5178 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5179 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5180 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5181 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5182
5183 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5184 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5185 enable it).
5186
5187 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5188 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5189 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5190 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5191 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5192 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5193 various internal method names.)
5194
5195 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5196 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5197
5198 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5199 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5200
5201 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5202 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5203
5204 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5205 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5206 methods are undefined.
5207
5208 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5209 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5210
5211 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5212 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5213 length of the modulus.
5214
5215 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5216 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5217
5218 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5219 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5220
5221 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5222 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5223
5224 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5225 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5226 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5227
5228 BN_GF2m_add
5229 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5230 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5231 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5232 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5233 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5234 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5235 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5236 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5237 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5238
5239 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5240 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5241
5242 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5243 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5244 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5245 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5246 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5247 where
5248 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5249 This applies to the following functions:
5250
5251 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5252 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5253 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5254 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5255 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5256 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5257 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5258 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5259 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5260 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5261
5262 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5263
5264 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5265 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5266
5267 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5268
5269 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5270 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5271 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5272 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5273 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5274
5275 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5276 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5277
5278 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5279 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5280 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5281
5282 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5283 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5284
5285 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5286 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5287 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5288 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5289 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5290
5291 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5292 functions
5293 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5294 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5295 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5296 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5297 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5298 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5299 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5300 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5301 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5302 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5303 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5304 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5305
5306 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5307 functions
5308 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5309 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5310 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5311 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5312 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5313
5314 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5315 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5316 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5317 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5318
5319 *) Add functions
5320 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5321 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5322 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5323 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5324 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5325 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5326 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5327
5328 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5329 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5330 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5331 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5332 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5333 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5334 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5335 adding different types of curves.
5336 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5337
5338 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5339 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5340 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5341 [Bodo Moeller]
5342
5343 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5344 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5345
5346 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5347 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5348 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5349 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5350
5351 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5352
5353 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5354 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5355
5356 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5357 library. Most notably,
5358 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5359 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5360 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5361 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5362 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5363 extracted before the specific public key;
5364 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5365 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5366
5367 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5368 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5369 function
5370 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5371 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5372 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5373 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5374 accessed via
5375 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5376 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5377 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5378
5379 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5380 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5381 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5382 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5383 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5384 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5385 differing sizes.
5386 [Richard Levitte]
5387
5388 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5389
5390 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5391 sensitive data.
5392 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5393
5394 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5395 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5396 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5397 [Bodo Moeller]
5398
5399 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5400 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5401 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5402 [Victor Duchovni]
5403
5404 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5405 [Steve Henson]
5406
5407 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5408 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5409 [Steve Henson]
5410
5411 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5412 run algorithm test programs.
5413 [Steve Henson]
5414
5415 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5416 [Steve Henson]
5417
5418 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5419 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5420 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5421 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5422 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5423 [Bodo Moeller]
5424
5425 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5426 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5427 [Steve Henson]
5428
5429 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5430
5431 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5432 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5433 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5434
5435 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5436 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5437
5438 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5439 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5440
5441 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5442 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5443 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5444
5445 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5446 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5447 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5448 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5449 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5450 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5451 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5452 [Bodo Moeller]
5453
5454 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5455
5456 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5457 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5458
5459 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5460 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5461 undesirable limitations.
5462 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5463
5464 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5465
5466 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5467 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5468 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5469
5470 The latter two were purportedly from
5471 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5472 appear there.
5473
5474 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5475 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5476 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5477 [Bodo Moeller]
5478
5479 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5480 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5481 [Bodo Moeller]
5482
5483 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5484
5485 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5486 module in FIPS mode.
5487 [Steve Henson]
5488
5489 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5490 [Steve Henson]
5491
5492 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5493 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5494 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5495 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5496 [Steve Henson]
5497
5498 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5499
5500 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5501 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5502 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5503 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5504 the difference induced by this change.
5505 [Andy Polyakov]
5506
5507 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5508
5509 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5510 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5511 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5512 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5513 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5514
5515 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5516 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5517 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5518
5519 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5520 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5521 [Steve Henson]
5522
5523 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5524 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5525 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5526 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5527 biased k.)
5528 [Bodo Moeller]
5529
5530 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5531 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5532 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5533 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5534 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5535
5536 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5537 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5538 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5539 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5540 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5541 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5542
5543 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5544
5545 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5546 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5547 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5548 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5549 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5550 [Bodo Moeller]
5551
5552 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5553 clients need.
5554 [Steve Henson]
5555
5556 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5557 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5558 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5559 [Steve Henson]
5560
5561 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5562 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5563 structures constant.
5564 [Steve Henson]
5565
5566 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5567
5568 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5569 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5570
5571 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5572 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5573 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5574 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5575 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5576 some needed definitions.
5577 [Steve Henson]
5578
5579 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5580 [Ulf Möller]
5581
5582 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5583 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5584 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5585 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5586 [Richard Levitte]
5587
5588 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5589
5590 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5591 server and client random values. Previously
5592 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5593 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5594
5595 This change has negligible security impact because:
5596
5597 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5598 data.
5599
5600 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5601 handshake.
5602
5603 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5604 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5605 values.
5606
5607 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5608 to our attention.
5609
5610 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5611
5612 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5613 [Ulf Möller]
5614
5615 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5616 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5617 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5618
5619 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5620 [Steve Henson]
5621
5622 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5623 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5624 [Andy Polyakov]
5625
5626 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5627 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5628 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5629
5630 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5631 [Steve Henson]
5632
5633 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5634 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
5635 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
5636 certificates.
5637 [Steve Henson]
5638
5639 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5640 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5641 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5642 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5643
5644 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5645 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5646 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5647 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5648 been given)
5649 [Richard Levitte]
5650
5651 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5652
5653 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5654 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5655 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5656 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5657 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5658 [Steve Henson]
5659
5660 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5661 [Steve Henson]
5662
5663 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5664 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5665
5666 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5667 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5668 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5669 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5670 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5671 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5672 rather than being initialized to 1.
5673 [Steve Henson]
5674
5675 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5676
5677 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5678 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5679 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5680
5681 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5682 (CVE-2004-0112)
5683 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5684
5685 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5686 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5687 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5688 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5689 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5690 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5691 [Richard Levitte]
5692
5693 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5694 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5695 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5696 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5697 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5698 for these cases.
5699 [Steve Henson]
5700
5701 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5702 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5703 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5704 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5705 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5706 [Steve Henson]
5707
5708 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5709 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5710 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5711 < 0.9.7.
5712 [Steve Henson]
5713
5714 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5715 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5716
5717 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5718 [Steve Henson]
5719
5720 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5721
5722 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5723
5724 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5725 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5726
5727 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5728
5729 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5730 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5731
5732 [Steve Henson]
5733
5734 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5735 exiting on the first error in a request.
5736 [Steve Henson]
5737
5738 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5739 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5740 specifications.
5741 [Steve Henson]
5742
5743 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5744 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5745 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5746 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5747
5748 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5749 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5750 [Richard Levitte]
5751
5752 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5753 blocks during encryption.
5754 [Richard Levitte]
5755
5756 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
5757 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5758 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5759 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5760 certain size.
5761 [Steve Henson]
5762
5763 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5764 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5765 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5766 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5767 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5768 parser.
5769 [Steve Henson]
5770
5771 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5772
5773 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5774 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5775 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5776 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5777 [Bodo Moeller]
5778
5779 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5780 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5781 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5782 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5783 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5784
5785 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5786 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5787 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5788 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5789 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5790 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5791 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5792 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5793 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5794 [Bodo Moeller]
5795
5796 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5797 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5798 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5799 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5800 [Geoff Thorpe]
5801
5802 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5803 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5804 [Ulf Moeller]
5805
5806 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5807
5808 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5809 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
5810 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5811 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5812 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5813
5814 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5815 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5816 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5817
5818 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5819 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5820 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5821 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5822 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5823
5824 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5825 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5826 used by default when no-err is given.
5827 [Richard Levitte]
5828
5829 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5830 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5831
5832 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5833 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5834 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5835 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5836 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5837
5838 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5839 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5840 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5841 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5842
5843 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5844
5845 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5846
5847 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5848
5849 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5850 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5851 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5852 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5853 root is omitted).
5854 [Steve Henson]
5855
5856 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5857 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5858
5859 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5860 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5861 [Steve Henson]
5862
5863 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5864 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5865 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5866 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5867 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5868
5869 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5870 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5871 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5872 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5873 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5874 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5875 followup to PR #377.
5876 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5877
5878 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5879 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5880 [Andy Polyakov]
5881
5882 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5883 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5884 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
5885 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
5886
5887 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
5888
5889 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5890 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
5891
5892 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5893 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5894 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5895 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5896 client and server.
5897 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5898 PR #377.
5899 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5900
5901 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
5902 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5903 removed entirely.
5904 [Richard Levitte]
5905
5906 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5907 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5908 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5909 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5910 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5911 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5912 of libcrypto.
5913 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5914 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5915 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5916 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5917 have to be made anyway).
5918 [Richard Levitte]
5919
5920 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5921 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5922 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5923 [Steve Henson]
5924
5925 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5926 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5927 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5928 [Richard Levitte]
5929
5930 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5931 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5932 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5933
5934 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5935 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5936 edit numbers of the version.
5937 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5938
5939 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
5940 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
5941 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5942
5943 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5944 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5945
5946 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5947 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5948 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5949
5950 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
5951 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5952
5953 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
5954 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5955
5956 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
5957 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5958
5959 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5960 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5961
5962 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
5963 overflows.
5964 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5965
5966 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5967 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
5968 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5969
5970 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5971 representations in a platform independent manner.
5972 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5973
5974 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5975 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5976 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5977
5978 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
5979 indents.
5980 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5981
5982 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
5983 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5984
5985 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
5986 full. Fixed.
5987 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5988
5989 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
5990 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
5991 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5992
5993 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
5994 unconditionally).
5995 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5996
5997 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
5998 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5999
6000 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6001 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6002
6003 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6004 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6005
6006 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6007 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6008
6009 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6010 CBCParameter.
6011 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6012
6013 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6014 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6015
6016 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6017 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6018
6019 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6020 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6021 exploitable.
6022 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6023
6024 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6025 the 0.9.6 release series:
6026
6027 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6028 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6029 (CVE-2002-0657)
6030 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6031
6032 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6033 [Richard Levitte]
6034
6035 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6036 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6037
6038 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6039 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6040
6041 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6042 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6043 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6044 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6045
6046 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6047 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6048 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6049
6050 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6051 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6052 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6053 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6054
6055 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6056 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6057 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6058 some local tweaks:
6059
6060 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6061 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6062 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6063 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6064 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6065 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6066 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6067 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6068 done
6069
6070 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6071 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6072 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6073 [Richard Levitte]
6074
6075 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6076 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6077 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6078 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6079 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6080
6081 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6082 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6083
6084 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6085 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6086 [Richard Levitte]
6087
6088 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6089 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6090 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6091 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6092 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6093 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6094 [Steve Henson]
6095
6096 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6097 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6098 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6099 [Steve Henson]
6100
6101 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6102 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6103 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6104
6105 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6106 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6107 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6108 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6109 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6110 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6111 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6112 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6113
6114 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6115 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6116 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6117 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6118 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6119 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6120 [Steve Henson]
6121
6122 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6123 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6124 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6125 declaration has been changed from
6126 int (*cb)()
6127 into
6128 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6129 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6130 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6131 has been changed into
6132 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6133
6134 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6135 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6136 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6137
6138 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6139 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6140
6141 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6142 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6143 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6144 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6145 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6146 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6147 always load it have also been added.
6148 [Steve Henson]
6149
6150 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6151 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6152 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6153
6154 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6155
6156 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6157 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6158 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6159
6160 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6161 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6162 command line option can be used to specify an
6163 alternative file.
6164 [Steve Henson]
6165
6166 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6167 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6168 [Steve Henson]
6169
6170 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6171 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6172 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6173 [Steve Henson]
6174
6175 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6176 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6177 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6178 to work with the new engine framework.
6179 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6180
6181 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6182 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6183 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6184 to work with the new engine framework.
6185 [Richard Levitte]
6186
6187 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6188 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6189 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6190
6191 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6192 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6193
6194 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6195 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6196 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6197 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6198 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6199 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6200
6201 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6202 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6203
6204 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6205 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6206
6207 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6208 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6209 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6210 [Ben Laurie]
6211
6212 *) Add new functions
6213 ERR_peek_last_error
6214 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6215 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6216 These are similar to
6217 ERR_peek_error
6218 ERR_peek_error_line
6219 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6220 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6221 still in the error queue.
6222 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6223
6224 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6225 like:
6226 default_algorithms = ALL
6227 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6228 [Steve Henson]
6229
6230 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6231 [Steve Henson]
6232
6233 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6234 [Steve Henson]
6235
6236 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6237 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6238 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6239 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6240
6241 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6242 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6243
6244 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6245 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6246
6247 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6248 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6249 [Bodo Moeller]
6250
6251 *) New functions/macros
6252
6253 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6254 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6255 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6256 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6257
6258 to request calling a callback function
6259
6260 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6261 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6262
6263 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6264 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6265 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6266 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6267 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6268 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6269 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6270 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6271 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6272 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6273
6274 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6275 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6276 [Bodo Moeller]
6277
6278 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6279 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6280 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6281 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6282 the configuration scripts.
6283
6284 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6285 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6286 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6287
6288 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6289 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6290
6291 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6292 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6293 when reusing an existing buffer.
6294 [Bodo Moeller]
6295
6296 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6297 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6298 [Steve Henson]
6299
6300 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6301 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6302 [Ben Laurie]
6303
6304 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6305 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6306 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6307 has the same effect.
6308 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6309
6310 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6311 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6312 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6313 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6314 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6315 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6316 exception.
6317
6318 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6319 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6320 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6321 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6322
6323 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6324 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6325 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6326 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6327
6328 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6329 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6330 won't work.
6331
6332 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6333 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6334 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6335 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6336 default), and then completely removed.
6337 [Richard Levitte]
6338
6339 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6340 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6341 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6342 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6343 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6344 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6345 particular extension is supported.
6346 [Steve Henson]
6347
6348 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6349 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6350 [Steve Henson]
6351
6352 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6353 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6354 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6355 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6356 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6357 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6358 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6359 requires the destination to be valid.
6360
6361 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6362 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6363 [Steve Henson]
6364
6365 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6366 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6367 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6368 [Bodo Moeller]
6369
6370 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6371 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6372
6373 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6374 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6375 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6376 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6377 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6378 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6379 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6380 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6381 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6382 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6383 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6384 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6385 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6386 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6387 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6388 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6389 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6390 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6391 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6392 the new code.
6393 [Geoff Thorpe]
6394
6395 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6396 [Steve Henson]
6397
6398 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6399 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6400 become part of libeay.num as well.
6401 [Richard Levitte]
6402
6403 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6404 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6405 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6406 false once a handshake has been completed.
6407 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6408 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6409 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6410 client has followed the request.)
6411 [Bodo Moeller]
6412
6413 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6414 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6415 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6416 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6417
6418 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6419 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6420 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6421 [Bodo Moeller]
6422
6423 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6424 [Steve Henson]
6425
6426 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6427 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6428 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6429 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6430
6431 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6432 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6433 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6434
6435 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6436 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6437 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6438 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6439 [Geoff Thorpe]
6440
6441 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6442 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6443 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6444 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6445 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6446 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6447 [Geoff Thorpe]
6448
6449 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6450 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6451 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6452 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6453 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6454 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6455 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6456 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6457 [Geoff Thorpe]
6458
6459 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6460 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6461 [Geoff Thorpe]
6462
6463 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6464 [Ben Laurie]
6465
6466 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6467 md_data void pointer.
6468 [Ben Laurie]
6469
6470 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6471 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6472 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6473 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6474 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6475 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6476 [Ben Laurie]
6477
6478 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6479 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6480 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6481 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6482 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6483 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6484 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6485 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6486 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6487 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6488 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6489 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6490 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6491 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6492 rather than letting it slide.
6493
6494 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6495 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6496 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6497 [Geoff Thorpe]
6498
6499 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6500 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6501 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6502 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6503 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6504 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6505 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6506 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6507 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6508 [Geoff Thorpe]
6509
6510 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6511 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6512 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6513 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6514 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6515
6516 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6517 [Geoff Thorpe]
6518
6519 *) Add EVP test program.
6520 [Ben Laurie]
6521
6522 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6523 [Ben Laurie]
6524
6525 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6526 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6527 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6528 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6529 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6530 [Steve Henson]
6531
6532 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6533 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6534 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6535 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6536 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6537 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6538 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6539
6540 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6541 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6542 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6543 Usage example:
6544
6545 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6546
6547 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6548 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6549 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6550 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6551 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6552
6553 [Ben Laurie]
6554
6555 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6556 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6557 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6558 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6559 anyway): E.g.,
6560
6561 des_key_schedule ks;
6562
6563 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6564 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6565
6566 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6567 [Ben Laurie]
6568
6569 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6570 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6571 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6572 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6573 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6574 functions prevents this.
6575 [Steve Henson]
6576
6577 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6578 [Ben Laurie]
6579
6580 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6581 correct _ecb suffix.
6582 [Ben Laurie]
6583
6584 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6585 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6586 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6587 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6588 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6589 [Steve Henson]
6590
6591 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6592 [Richard Levitte]
6593
6594 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6595 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6596 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6597 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6598
6599 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6600 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6601
6602 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6603 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6604 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6605 via Richard Levitte]
6606
6607 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6608 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6609 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6610 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6611 [Geoff Thorpe]
6612
6613 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6614 Before:
6615 encrypt
6616 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6617 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
6618 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

6623 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
6624 After:

6626 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
6627 decrypt
6628 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
6629 [Ben Laurie]
6630
6631 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6632 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6633
6634 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6635 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6636 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6637 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6638 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6639 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6640 [Steve Henson]
6641
6642 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6643 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6644 [Richard Levitte]
6645
6646 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6647 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6648 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6649 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6650
6651 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6652 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6653 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6654 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6655 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6656 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6657 callback.
6658 [Richard Levitte]
6659
6660 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6661 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6662 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6663 and interrupts/cancellations.
6664 [Richard Levitte]
6665
6666 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6667 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6668 [Steve Henson]
6669
6670 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6671 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6672 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6673
6674 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6675 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6676 kind of callback.
6677 [Richard Levitte]
6678
6679 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6680 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6681 than this minimum value is recommended.
6682 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6683
6684 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6685 that are easily reachable.
6686 [Richard Levitte]
6687
6688 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6689 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6690
6691 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6692
6693 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6694 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6695 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6696 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6697 [Steve Henson]
6698
6699 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6700 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6701 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6702 [Steve Henson]
6703
6704 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6705 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6706 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6707 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6708 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6709 internally such as S/MIME.
6710
6711 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6712 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6713 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6714
6715 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6716 applications.
6717 [Steve Henson]
6718
6719 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6720 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6721 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6722 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6723
6724 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6725
6726 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6727
6728 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6729 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6730 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6731 handling.
6732 [Steve Henson]
6733
6734 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6735 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6736 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6737 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6738 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6739 a window system and the like.
6740 [Richard Levitte]
6741
6742 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6743 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6744 [Geoff]
6745
6746 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6747 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6748 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6749 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6750 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6751 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6752 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6753 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6754 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
6755 ENGINE structure.
6756 [Geoff]
6757
6758 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6759 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6760 tag cache.
6761 [Steve Henson]
6762
6763 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6764 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6765 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6766 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6767 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6768 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6769 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6770 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6771 [Geoff]
6772
6773 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6774 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6775 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6776 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6777 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6778 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6779 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6780 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6781 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6782 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6783 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6784 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6785 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6786 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6787 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6788 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6789 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6790 [Geoff]
6791
6792 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6793 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6794 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6795 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6796 internal engine_int.h header.
6797 [Geoff]
6798
6799 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6800 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6801 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6802 modify their own ones).
6803 [Geoff]
6804
6805 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6806 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6807 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6808 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6809 later on via ctrl() commands.
6810 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6811 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6812 structural references.
6813 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6814 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6815 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6816 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6817 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6818 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6819 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6820 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6821 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6822 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6823 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6824 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6825 [Geoff]
6826
6827 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6828 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6829 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6830 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6831 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6832 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6833 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6834 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6835 [Bodo Moeller]
6836
6837 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6838 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6839 [Steve Henson]
6840
6841 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6842 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6843 [Steve Henson]
6844
6845 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6846 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6847 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6848 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6849 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6850 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6851 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6852 [Steve Henson]
6853
6854 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6855 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6856 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6857 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6858 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6859
6860 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6861 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6862 generator).
6863 [Bodo Moeller]
6864
6865 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6866
6867 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6868 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6869 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6870
6871 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6872 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6873
6874 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6875 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6876 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6877
6878 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6879 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6880
6881 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6882 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6883
6884 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6885
6886 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6887 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6888 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6889 [Bodo Moeller]
6890
6891 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6892 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6893 [Richard Levitte]
6894
6895 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6896 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6897 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6898 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6899 is 40 of more characters long.
6900 [Steve Henson]
6901
6902 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6903 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6904 pointers.
6905 [Steve Henson]
6906
6907 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6908 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6909 [Bodo Moeller]
6910
6911 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6912 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6913 might.
6914 [Steve Henson]
6915
6916 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6917
6918 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6919 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6920
6921 ASN1 error codes
6922 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6923 ...
6924 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6925 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6926 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6927 ...
6928 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6929 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6930
6931 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6932 [Bodo Moeller]
6933
6934 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6935 suffices.
6936 [Bodo Moeller]
6937
6938 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6939 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6940 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6941 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6942 and
6943 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6944
6945 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6946 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6947
6948 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6949 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6950 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6951 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6952 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6953 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6954
6955 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6956 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6957
6958 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6959 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6960
6961 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6962 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6963
6964 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6965 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6966 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6967 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6968
6969 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6970 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6971
6972 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6973 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
6974
6975 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
6976 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
6977 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
6978 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
6979 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
6980 [Richard Levitte]
6981
6982 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
6983 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
6984 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
6985 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
6986 [Steve Henson]
6987
6988 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
6989 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
6990 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
6991 trust settings.
6992 [Steve Henson]
6993
6994 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
6995 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
6996 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
6997 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
6998 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
6999 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7000 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7001 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7002 ocsp utility.
7003 [Steve Henson]
7004
7005 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7006 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7007 [Steve Henson]
7008
7009 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7010 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7011 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7012 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7013 [Steve Henson]
7014
7015 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7016 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7017 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7018 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7019 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7020 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7021 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7022 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7023 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7024 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7025 [Steve Henson]
7026
7027 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7028 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7029 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7030 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7031 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7032 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7033 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7034 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7035
7036 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7037 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7038 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7039 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7040 [Richard Levitte]
7041
7042 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7043 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7044 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7045 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7046 opensslconf.h.
7047 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7048 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7049 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7050 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7051 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7052 what is available.
7053 [Richard Levitte]
7054
7055 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7056 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7057 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7058 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7059 auto incremented.
7060 [Steve Henson]
7061
7062 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7063 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7064 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7065 [Steve Henson]
7066
7067 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7068 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7069 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7070 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7071 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7072 [Steve Henson]
7073
7074 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7075 [Steve Henson]
7076
7077 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7078 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7079 option to ocsp utility.
7080 [Steve Henson]
7081
7082 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7083 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7084 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7085 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7086 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7087 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7088 the request is nonce-less.
7089 [Steve Henson]
7090
7091 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7092 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7093 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7094 [Bodo Moeller]
7095
7096 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7097 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7098 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7099 [Steve Henson]
7100
7101 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7102 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7103 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7104 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7105 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7106 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7107
7108 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7109 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7110 appear to exist.
7111 [Steve Henson]
7112
7113 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7114 additional certificates supplied.
7115 [Steve Henson]
7116
7117 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7118 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7119 signature against.
7120 [Richard Levitte]
7121
7122 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7123 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7124 AES OIDs.
7125
7126 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7127 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7128 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7129 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7130 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7131 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7132 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7133 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7134 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7135
7136 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7137 request to response.
7138 [Steve Henson]
7139
7140 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7141 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7142 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7143 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7144 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7145 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7146 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7147 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7148 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7149 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7150 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7151 [Steve Henson]
7152
7153 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7154 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7155 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7156 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7157 [Steve Henson]
7158
7159 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7160 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7161
7162 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7163 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7164 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7165 [Steve Henson]
7166
7167 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7168 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7169 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7170 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7171 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7172
7173 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7174 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7175 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7176 [Steve Henson]
7177
7178 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7179 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7180 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7181 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7182 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7183 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7184 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7185 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7186
7187 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7188 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7189 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7190 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7191 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7192 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7193 [Steve Henson]
7194
7195 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7196 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7197 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7198 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7199 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7200 printout format cleaned up.
7201 [Steve Henson]
7202
7203 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7204 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7205 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7206 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7207 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7208 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7209 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7210 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7211 [Steve Henson]
7212
7213 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7214 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7215 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7216 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7217 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7218 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7219 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7220 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7221 [Steve Henson]
7222
7223 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7224 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7225 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7226 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7227 section to use.
7228 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7229
7230 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7231 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7232 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7233 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7234 [Steve Henson]
7235
7236 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7237 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7238 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7239 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7240 in the index file.
7241 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7242
7243 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7244 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7245 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7246 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7247
7248 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7249 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7250
7251 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7252 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7253 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7254 [Steve Henson]
7255
7256 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7257 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7258 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7259 [Bodo Moeller]
7260
7261 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7262 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7263 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7264 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7265 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7266 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7267 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7268 functions are provided:
7269
7270 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7271 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7272 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7273 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7274
7275 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7276 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7277 extended allocation function is enabled.
7278 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7279 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7280 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7281
7282 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7283 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7284 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7285 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7286 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7287 [Geoff Thorpe]
7288
7289 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7290 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7291 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7292 be queried.
7293 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7294 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
7295 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7296 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7297
7298 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7299 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7300 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7301 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7302 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7303 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7304 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7305 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7306 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7307 [Richard Levitte]
7308
7309 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7310 provide utility functions which an application needing
7311 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7312 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7313 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7314
7315 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7316 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7317 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7318 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7319 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7320 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7321 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7322 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7323 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7324
7325 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7326 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7327 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7328 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7329 [Steve Henson]
7330
7331 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7332 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7333 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7334 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7335 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7336 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7337 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7338 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7339 will be added elsewhere.
7340 [Steve Henson]
7341
7342 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7343 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7344 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7345 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7346 [Steve Henson]
7347
7348 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7349 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7350 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7351 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7352 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7353 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7354 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7355 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7356 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7357 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7358 to produce the required SET OF.
7359 [Steve Henson]
7360
7361 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7362 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7363 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7364 [Richard Levitte]
7365
7366 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7367 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7368 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7369 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7370 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7371 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7372 [Steve Henson]
7373
7374 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7375 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7376 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7377 [Steve Henson]
7378
7379 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7380 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7381 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7382 [Richard Levitte]
7383
7384 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7385 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7386 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7387 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7388 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7389 [Steve Henson]
7390
7391 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7392 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7393 [Steve Henson]
7394
7395 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7396 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7397 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7398 certifcates and CRLs.
7399 [Steve Henson]
7400
7401 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7402 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7403 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7404 [Steve Henson]
7405
7406 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7407 entries for variables.
7408 [Steve Henson]
7409
7410 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7411 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7412 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7413 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7414 [Bodo Moeller]
7415
7416 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7417 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7418 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7419 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7420 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7421 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7422 [Bodo Moeller]
7423
7424 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7425 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7426
7427 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7428 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7429 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7430 [Steve Henson]
7431
7432 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7433 print routines.
7434 [Steve Henson]
7435
7436 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7437 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7438 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7439 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7440 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7441 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7442 [Steve Henson]
7443
7444 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7445 [Steve Henson]
7446
7447 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7448 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7449 for now but they will eventually go away.
7450 [Steve Henson]
7451
7452 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7453 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7454 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7455 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7456 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7457 has also been converted to the new form.
7458 [Steve Henson]
7459
7460 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7461 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7462 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7463 for negative moduli.
7464 [Bodo Moeller]
7465
7466 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7467 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7468 [Bodo Moeller]
7469
7470 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7471 set.
7472 [Bodo Moeller]
7473
7474 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7475 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7476 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7477 type-specific callbacks.
7478 [Geoff Thorpe]
7479
7480 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7481 RFC 2712.
7482 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7483 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7484
7485 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7486 in sections depending on the subject.
7487 [Richard Levitte]
7488
7489 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7490 Windows.
7491 [Richard Levitte]
7492
7493 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7494 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7495 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7496 be handled deterministically).
7497 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7498
7499 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7500 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7501 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7502 [Bodo Moeller]
7503
7504 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7505 [Bodo Moeller]
7506
7507 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7508 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7509 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7510 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7511 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7512 [Bodo Moeller]
7513
7514 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7515 sign of the number in question.
7516
7517 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7518
7519 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7520 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7521 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7522 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7523 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7524 [Bodo Moeller]
7525
7526 *) New function BN_swap.
7527 [Bodo Moeller]
7528
7529 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7530 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7531 results on negative inputs.
7532 [Bodo Moeller]
7533
7534 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7535 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7536 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7537 [Bodo Moeller]
7538
7539 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7540 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7541 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7542 and add new functions:
7543
7544 BN_nnmod
7545 BN_mod_sqr
7546 BN_mod_add
7547 BN_mod_add_quick
7548 BN_mod_sub
7549 BN_mod_sub_quick
7550 BN_mod_lshift1
7551 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7552 BN_mod_lshift
7553 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7554
7555 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7556
7557 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7558 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7559
7560 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7561 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7562 be reduced modulo m.
7563 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7564
7565 #if 0
7566 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7567 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7568 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7569
7570 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7571 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7572 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7573 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7574 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7575 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7576 differing sizes.
7577 [Richard Levitte]
7578 #endif
7579
7580 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7581 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7582 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7583 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7584 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7585
7586 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7587 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7588 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7589 cause any problems.
7590 [Bodo Moeller]
7591
7592 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7593 [Richard Levitte]
7594
7595 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7596 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7597 [Richard Levitte]
7598
7599 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7600 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7601 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7602 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7603 time)
7604 [Richard Levitte]
7605
7606 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7607 [Richard Levitte]
7608
7609 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7610 [Richard Levitte]
7611
7612 *) Add the following functions:
7613
7614 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7615 ENGINE_load_chil()
7616 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7617 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7618 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7619
7620 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7621 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7622 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7623 libraries unless it's really needed.
7624
7625 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7626 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7627 declarations (they differed!).
7628 [Richard Levitte]
7629
7630 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7631 [Richard Levitte]
7632
7633 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7634 [Richard Levitte]
7635
7636 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7637 [Bodo Moeller]
7638
7639 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7640 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7641 [Richard Levitte]
7642
7643 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7644 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7645 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7646
7647 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7648 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7649 [Richard Levitte]
7650
7651 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7652 [Richard Levitte]
7653
7654 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7655 [Richard Levitte]
7656
7657 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7658 [Ben Laurie]
7659
7660 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7661 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7662 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7663
7664 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7665 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7666 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7667 different shared library filenames on each system.
7668 [Geoff Thorpe]
7669
7670 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7671 [Richard Levitte]
7672
7673 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7674 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7675 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7676 of two sections.
7677 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7678
7679 *) NCONF changes.
7680 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7681 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7682 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7683 binary backward compatibility.
7684 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7685 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7686 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7687 LDAP server.
7688 [Richard Levitte]
7689
7690 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7691 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7692 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7693 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7694 this case.
7695 [Steve Henson]
7696
7697 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7698 [Ben Laurie]
7699
7700 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7701 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7702 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7703 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7704 set.
7705 [Steve Henson]
7706
7707 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7708 [Richard Levitte]
7709
7710 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7711
7712 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7713 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7714 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7715
7716 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7717
7718 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7719
7720 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7721 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7722 [Steve Henson]
7723
7724 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7725
7726 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7727
7728 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7729 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7730
7731 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7732 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7733
7734 [Steve Henson]
7735
7736 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7737 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7738 specifications.
7739 [Steve Henson]
7740
7741 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7742 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7743 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7744 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7745
7746 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7747 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7748 [Richard Levitte]
7749
7750 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7751
7752 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7753 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7754 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7755 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7756 [Bodo Moeller]
7757
7758 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7759 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7760 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7761 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7762 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7763
7764 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7765 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7766 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7767 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7768 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7769 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7770 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7771 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7772 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7773 [Bodo Moeller]
7774
7775 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7776
7777 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7778 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7779 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7780 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7781 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7782
7783 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7784 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7785 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7786
7787 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7788
7789 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7790 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7791 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7792 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7793 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7794 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7795 [Geoff Thorpe]
7796
7797 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7798 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7799 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7800 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7801 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7802 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7803
7804 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7805 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7806 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7807
7808 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7809 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7810 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7811 EVP_cleanup().
7812 [Richard Levitte]
7813
7814 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7815 being properly terminated.
7816 [Richard Levitte]
7817
7818 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7819 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7820 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7821 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7822
7823 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7824 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7825 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7826 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7827 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7828 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7829 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7830 change.
7831 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7832
7833 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7834 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7835 [Bodo Moeller]
7836
7837 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7838 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7839 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7840 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7841 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7842 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7843 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7844 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7845
7846 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7847 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7848 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7849 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7850 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7851
7852 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7853 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7854 [Steve Henson]
7855
7856 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7857
7858 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7859 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7860 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7861
7862 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
7863
7864 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
7865 and get fix the header length calculation.
7866 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
7867 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
7868 Steve Henson]
7869
7870 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
7871 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
7872 assertions could call abort()).
7873 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
7874
7875 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
7876
7877 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7878 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7879 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7880 supplied buffer.
7881 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7882
7883 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
7884 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
7885 by the selection routines (PR #130).
7886 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7887
7888 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
7889 [Nils Larsch]
7890
7891 *) New option
7892 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
7893 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
7894 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
7895
7896 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
7897 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
7898 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
7899 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
7900 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
7901 applications.
7902 [Bodo Moeller]
7903
7904 *) Changes in security patch:
7905
7906 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
7907 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
7908 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
7909 F30602-01-2-0537.
7910
7911 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7912 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7913 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7914 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
7915 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7916
7917 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
7918 happen in practice.
7919 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7920
7921 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
7922 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
7923 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
7924
7925 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7926 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
7927 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7928
7929 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
7930 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
7931 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7932
7933 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
7934
7935 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
7936 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
7937 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
7938
7939 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
7940 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
7941
7942 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
7943 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
7944 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
7945 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
7946 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
7947 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
7948 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7949
7950 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
7951 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
7952 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
7953 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
7954 [Bodo Moeller]
7955
7956 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
7957 [Bodo Moeller]
7958
7959 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
7960 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
7961 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
7962 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
7963 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
7964 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7965
7966 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
7967 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
7968 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
7969 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
7970 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
7971 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7972
7973 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
7974 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
7975 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
7976 BN_generate_prime().)
7977
7978 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
7979 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
7980 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
7981 better.
7982 [Bodo Moeller]
7983
7984 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
7985 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
7986 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7987
7988 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
7989 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
7990 when using non-blocking I/O.
7991 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
7992
7993 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
7994 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
7995
7996 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
7997 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
7998 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7999
8000 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8001 configuration for the versions before that.
8002 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8003
8004 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8005 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8006 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8007 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8008 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8009
8010 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8011 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8012 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8013 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8014
8015 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8016 value is 0.
8017 [Richard Levitte]
8018
8019 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8020 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8021 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8022
8023 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8024 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8025
8026 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8027 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8028 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8029 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8030 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8031 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8032 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8033 session cache.
8034
8035 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8036 using a local variable.
8037 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8038
8039 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8040 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8041 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8042
8043 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8044 [Richard Levitte]
8045
8046 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8047 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8048
8049 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8050 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8051 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8052
8053 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8054
8055 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8056 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8057 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8058 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8059 [Bodo Moeller]
8060
8061 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8062 present.
8063 [Steve Henson]
8064
8065 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8066 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8067 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8068 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8069 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8070
8071 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8072 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8073 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8074
8075 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8076 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8077 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8078
8079 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8080 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8081 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8082 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8083
8084 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8085 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8086 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8087 modules).
8088 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8089
8090 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8091 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8092 from 0.9.7.
8093 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8094
8095 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8096 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8097 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8098 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8099
8100 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8101 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8102 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8103 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8104
8105 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8106 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8107
8108 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8109 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8110 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8111 [Bodo Moeller]
8112
8113 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8114 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8115 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8116 become invalid.
8117 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8118
8119 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8120 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8121 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8122 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8123 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8124 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8125 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8126 [Bodo Moeller]
8127
8128 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8129 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8130 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8131 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8132
8133 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8134 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8135 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8136 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8137 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8138 the client will at least see that alert.
8139 [Bodo Moeller]
8140
8141 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8142 correctly.
8143 [Bodo Moeller]
8144
8145 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8146 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8147 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8148
8149 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8150 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8151 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8152 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8153 HelloRequest.
8154
8155 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8156 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8157 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8158
8159 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8160 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8161 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8162 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8163 may leak via logfiles.)
8164
8165 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8166 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8167 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8168 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8169 the legal range.
8170 [Bodo Moeller]
8171
8172 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8173 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8174 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8175
8176 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8177 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8178 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8179 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8180 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8181 [Bodo Moeller]
8182
8183 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8184 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8185
8186 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8187 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8188 followed by modular reduction.
8189 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8190
8191 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8192 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8193 [Bodo Moeller]
8194
8195 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8196 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8197 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8198 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8199 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8200
8201 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8202 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8203
8204 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8205 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8206 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8207
8208 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8209 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8210 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8211 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8212 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8213 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8214 automatically.
8215 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8216
8217 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8218 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8219 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8220 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8221 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8222
8223 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8224 [Andy Polyakov]
8225
8226 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8227 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8228 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8229 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8230 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8231 to allow the necessary settings.
8232 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8233
8234 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8235 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8236 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8237 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8238 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8239
8240 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8241 dh->length and always used
8242
8243 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8244
8245 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8246 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8247 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8248 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8249 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8250 dh->length.
8251
8252 So switch back to
8253
8254 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8255
8256 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8257 otherwise.
8258 [Bodo Moeller]
8259
8260 *) In
8261
8262 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8263 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8264 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8265 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8266
8267 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8268 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8269 always reject numbers >= n.
8270 [Bodo Moeller]
8271
8272 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8273 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8274 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8275 variable) is not atomic.
8276 [Bodo Moeller]
8277
8278 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8279 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8280 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8281 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8282
8283 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8284 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8285
8286 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8287 little-endian MIPS.
8288 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8289
8290 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8291 [Richard Levitte]
8292
8293 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8294
8295 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8296 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8297 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8298 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8299 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8300 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8301 to traverse all of 'state'.
8302
8303 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8304 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8305 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8306
8307 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8308 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8309
8310 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8311 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8312 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8313 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8314 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8315 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8316 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8317 further strengthens the PRNG.
8318 [Bodo Moeller]
8319
8320 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8321 [Andy Polyakov]
8322
8323 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8324 an error message in this case.
8325 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8326
8327 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8328 [Steve Henson]
8329
8330 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8331 positive and less than q.
8332 [Bodo Moeller]
8333
8334 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8335 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8336 that itself.
8337 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8338
8339 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8340 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8341 [Bodo Moeller]
8342
8343 *) Fix OAEP check.
8344 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8345
8346 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8347 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8348 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8349 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8350 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8351 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8352 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8353 paper.)
8354
8355 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8356 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8357 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8358 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8359
8360 Both problems are now fixed.
8361 [Bodo Moeller]
8362
8363 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8364 (previously it was 1024).
8365 [Bodo Moeller]
8366
8367 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8368 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8369 [Steve Henson]
8370
8371 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8372 [Steve Henson]
8373
8374 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8375 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8376 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8377 [Steve Henson]
8378
8379 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8380 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8381 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8382 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8383 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8384 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8385 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8386 environment variables.
8387
8388 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8389 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8390 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8391 [Bodo Moeller]
8392
8393 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8394 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8395 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8396 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8397 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8398 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8399 [Bodo Moeller]
8400
8401 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8402 versions of 'test'.
8403 [Bodo Moeller]
8404
8405 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8406
8407 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8408 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8409
8410 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8411 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8412 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8413 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8414 CygWin.
8415 [Richard Levitte]
8416
8417 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8418 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8419 amount of data available.
8420 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8421 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8422
8423 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8424 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8425 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8426 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8427 [Bodo Moeller]
8428
8429 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8430 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8431 and UnixWare.
8432 [Richard Levitte]
8433
8434 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8435 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8436 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8437 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8438 [Ulf Moeller]
8439
8440 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8441 [Andy Polyakov]
8442
8443 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8444 [Richard Levitte]
8445
8446 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8447 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8448 [Steve Henson]
8449 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8450
8451 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8452 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8453 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8454 (but broken) behaviour.
8455 [Steve Henson]
8456
8457 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8458 it when found.
8459 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8460
8461 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8462 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8463 [Bodo Moeller]
8464
8465 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8466 did not exist.
8467 [Bodo Moeller]
8468
8469 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8470 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8471
8472 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8473 [Richard Levitte]
8474
8475 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8476 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8477 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8478
8479 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8480 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8481 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8482 [Steve Henson]
8483
8484 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8485 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8486 [Ulf Moeller]
8487
8488 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8489 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8490
8491 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8492
8493 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8494
8495 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8496 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8497 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8498 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8499 [Bodo Moeller]
8500
8501 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8502 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8503
8504 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8505 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8506 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8507
8508 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8509 was empty.
8510 [Steve Henson]
8511 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8512
8513 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8514 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8515 but the code is actually correct.
8516 [Steve Henson]
8517
8518 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8519 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8520 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8521 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8522 and leaves the highest bit random.
8523 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8524
8525 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8526 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8527 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8528 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8529 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8530 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8531 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8532 [Bodo Moeller]
8533
8534 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8535 [Ulf Moeller]
8536
8537 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8538 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8539 [Steve Henson]
8540
8541 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8542 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8543 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8544 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8545 headers.
8546 [Richard Levitte]
8547
8548 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8549 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8550 and break the signature.
8551 [Steve Henson]
8552 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8553
8554 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8555 DH ciphersuites.
8556 [Steve Henson]
8557
8558 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8559 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8560 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8561 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8562 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8563 [Bodo Moeller]
8564
8565 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8566 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8567
8568 *) ./config script fixes.
8569 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8570
8571 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8572 [Bodo Moeller]
8573
8574 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8575 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8576 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8577 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8578 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8579
8580 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8581 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8582 [Bodo Moeller]
8583
8584 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8585 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8586 [Steve Henson]
8587
8588 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8589 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8590 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8591 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8592
8593 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8594 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8595
8596 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8597 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8598 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8599 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8600 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8601
8602 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8603 [Bodo Moeller]
8604
8605 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8606 [Ulf Möller]
8607
8608 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8609 [Ulf Möller]
8610
8611 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8612 [Bodo Moeller]
8613
8614 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8615 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8616 [Bodo Moeller]
8617
8618 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8619 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8620 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8621 result of the server certificate verification.)
8622 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8623
8624 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8625 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8626 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8627 [Bodo Moeller]
8628
8629 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8630 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8631 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8632 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8633 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8634 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8635 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8636 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8637 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8638 [Bodo Moeller]
8639
8640 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8641 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8642 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8643 happening the other way round.
8644 [Geoff Thorpe]
8645
8646 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8647 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8648 [Bodo Moeller]
8649
8650 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8651 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8652 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8653 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8654 [Richard Levitte]
8655
8656 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8657 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8658
8659 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8660
8661 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8662 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8663 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8664 that.
8665
8666 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8667
8668 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8669
8670 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8671 static ones.
8672 [Richard Levitte]
8673
8674 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8675
8676 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8677 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8678 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8679 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8680 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8681
8682 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8683 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8684 matter what.
8685 [Richard Levitte]
8686
8687 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8688 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8689
8690 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8691
8692 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8693 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8694 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8695 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8696 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8697 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8698 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8699 by the Finished messages.
8700 [Bodo Moeller]
8701
8702 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8703 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8704
8705 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8706 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8707 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8708 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8709 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8710 appropriately.
8711 [Steve Henson]
8712
8713 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8714 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8715 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8716 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8717 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8718 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8719 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8720 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8721 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8722 together.
8723 [Steve Henson]
8724
8725 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8726 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8727 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8728 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8729
8730 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8731 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8732 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8733 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8734 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8735 the answer.
8736
8737 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
8738 been tested well enough.
8739 [Richard Levitte]
8740
8741 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
8742 it can return incorrect results.
8743 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
8744 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
8745 [Bodo Moeller]
8746
8747 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
8748 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
8749 include zero length content when signing messages.
8750 [Steve Henson]
8751
8752 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
8753 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
8754 [Bodo Möller]
8755
8756 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
8757 [Richard Levitte]
8758
8759 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
8760 wrong sign.
8761 [Ulf Möller]
8762
8763 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
8764 packages. The default package contains applications, application
8765 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
8766 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
8767 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8768 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8769 [Richard Levitte]
8770
8771 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8772 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8773
8774 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8775 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8776
8777 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8778 random number < q in the DSA library.
8779 [Ulf Möller]
8780
8781 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8782 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8783 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8784 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8785 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8786 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8787 just makes things more complicated.)
8788 [Bodo Moeller]
8789
8790 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8791 from EGD.
8792 [Ben Laurie]
8793
8794 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8795 work better on such systems.
8796 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8797
8798 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8799 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8800 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8801 [Steve Henson]
8802
8803 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8804 if there was more than one signature.
8805 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8806
8807 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8808 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
8809 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8810 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8811 [Richard Levitte]
8812
8813 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8814 rather than always using the current time.
8815 [Steve Henson]
8816
8817 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8818 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8819 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8820 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8821 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8822 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8823
8824 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8825 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8826
8827 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8828
8829 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8830 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8831 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8832 the same hash value.
8833
8834 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8835 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8836 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8837 with X509_STORE internally.
8838
8839 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8840 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8841
8842 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8843 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8844 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8845 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8846 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8847 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8848 entirely (maybe later...).
8849
8850 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8851
8852 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8853 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8854 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8855 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8856 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8857 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8858 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8859 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8860
8861 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8862 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8863
8864 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
8865 to customise the verify behaviour.
8866 [Steve Henson]
8867
8868 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8869 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
8870 [Steve Henson]
8871
8872 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
8873 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
8874 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
8875 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
8876 request is improperly encoded.
8877 [Steve Henson]
8878
8879 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
8880 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
8881 BIO_write(b, ...).
8882
8883 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
8884 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
8885
8886 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
8887 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
8888 words set to zero.)
8889 [Bodo Moeller]
8890
8891 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
8892 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
8893 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
8894 [Bodo Moeller]
8895
8896 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
8897 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
8898 BIO/fp routines also added.
8899 [Steve Henson]
8900
8901 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
8902 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
8903
8904 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
8905 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
8906 demos/state_machine.
8907 [Ben Laurie]
8908
8909 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
8910 generation and verification.
8911 [Steve Henson]
8912
8913 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
8914 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
8915 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
8916 encode and decode it manually.
8917 [Steve Henson]
8918
8919 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
8920 compile under VC++.
8921 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
8922
8923 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
8924 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
8925 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
8926 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
8927
8928 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
8929 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
8930 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
8931 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
8932 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
8933 [Steve Henson]
8934
8935 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
8936 [Richard Levitte]
8937
8938 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
8939 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
8940 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
8941
8942 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
8943 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
8944 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
8945 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
8946 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
8947 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
8948 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
8949 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
8950
8951 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
8952 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
8953
8954 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
8955
8956 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
8957 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
8958 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
8959
8960 [Richard Levitte]
8961
8962 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
8963 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
8964 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
8965 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
8966 [Richard Levitte]
8967
8968 *) MD4 implemented.
8969 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
8970
8971 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
8972 [Richard Levitte]
8973
8974 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
8975 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
8976 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
8977 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
8978 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
8979 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
8980 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
8981 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
8982 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
8983 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
8984 short or long names are found.
8985 [Steve Henson]
8986
8987 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
8988 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
8989
8990 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
8991 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
8992 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
8993 version rollback attacks was not effective.
8994
8995 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
8996 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
8997 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
8998 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
8999 [Bodo Moeller]
9000
9001 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9002 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9003 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9004 [Richard Levitte]
9005
9006 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9007 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9008 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9009 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9010 to allow the various flags to be set.
9011 [Steve Henson]
9012
9013 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9014 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9015 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9016 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9017 dates to be checked.
9018 [Steve Henson]
9019
9020 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9021 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9022 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9023 [Steve Henson]
9024
9025 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9026 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9027 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9028 [Steve Henson]
9029
9030 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9031 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9032 [Bodo Moeller]
9033
9034 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9035 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9036 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9037 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9038 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9039 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9040 [Richard Levitte]
9041
9042 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9043 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9044 Random Numbers.
9045 [Ulf Möller]
9046
9047 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9048 DSA key.
9049 [Steve Henson]
9050
9051 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9052 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9053 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9054 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9055 form signing output easier to verify.
9056 [Steve Henson]
9057
9058 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9059 [Steve Henson]
9060
9061 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9062 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9063 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9064 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9065 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9066 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9067 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9068 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9069 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9070 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9071 [Steve Henson]
9072
9073 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9074
9075 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9076 the syntax given in objects.README.
9077 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9078 obj_mac.h.
9079 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9080 obj_mac.h.
9081
9082 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9083 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9084 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9085 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9086 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9087 consistent name changes.
9088 [Richard Levitte]
9089
9090 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9091 [Bodo Moeller]
9092
9093 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9094 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9095 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9096 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9097 [Richard Levitte]
9098
9099 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9100 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9101 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9102 of safestack.h .
9103 [Steve Henson]
9104
9105 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9106 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9107 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9108 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9109 [Steve Henson]
9110
9111 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9112 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9113 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9114 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9115 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9116 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9117 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9118 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9119 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9120 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9121 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9122 [Steve Henson]
9123
9124 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9125 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9126 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9127 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9128 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9129 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9130 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9131 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9132 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9133 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9134 [Steve Henson]
9135
9136 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9137 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9138 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9139 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9140
9141 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9142 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9143 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9144 omit any duplicate addresses.
9145 [Steve Henson]
9146
9147 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9148 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9149 [Bodo Moeller]
9150
9151 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9152 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9153 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9154 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9155 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9156 [Bodo Moeller]
9157
9158 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9159 software:
9160 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9161 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9162 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9163 Free => OPENSSL_free
9164 [Richard Levitte]
9165
9166 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9167 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9168 [Bodo Moeller]
9169
9170 *) CygWin32 support.
9171 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9172
9173 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9174 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9175 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9176 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9177 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9178 approach.
9179 [Geoff Thorpe]
9180
9181 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9182 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9183 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9184 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9185 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9186 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9187 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9188 [Geoff Thorpe]
9189
9190 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9191 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9192 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9193 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9194 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9195 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9196 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9197 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9198 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9199 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9200 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9201 [Bodo Moeller]
9202
9203 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9204 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9205 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9206 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9207 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9208
9209 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9210 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9211 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9212 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9213 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9214
9215 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9216 ciphers.
9217
9218 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9219 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9220 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9221 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9222
9223 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9224
9225 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9226 of macros.
9227
9228 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9229 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9230 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9231 flags.
9232
9233 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9234 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9235 any installed hardware versions can.
9236 [Steve Henson]
9237
9238 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9239 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9240 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9241 number.
9242 [Bodo Moeller]
9243
9244 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9245 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9246 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9247 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9248 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9249
9250 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9251 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9252 [Steve Henson]
9253
9254 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9255 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9256 [Richard Levitte]
9257
9258 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9259 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9260 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9261 features.
9262 [Steve Henson]
9263
9264 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9265 [Ulf Möller]
9266
9267 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9268 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9269 but no ssl client purpose.
9270 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9271
9272 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9273 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9274 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9275 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9276 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9277 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9278 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9279 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9280 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9281 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9282 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9283 [Steve Henson]
9284
9285 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9286 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9287 be obtained from the error queue.
9288 [Bodo Moeller]
9289
9290 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9291 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9292 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9293 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9294 [Bodo Moeller]
9295
9296 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9297 [Ulf Möller]
9298
9299 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9300 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9301 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9302 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9303 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9304 [Geoff Thorpe]
9305
9306 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9307 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9308 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9309 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9310 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9311 [Geoff Thorpe]
9312
9313 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9314 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9315 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9316 may not be NULL.
9317 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9318
9319 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9320 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9321 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9322 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9323 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9324 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9325 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9326 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9327 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9328 or "the configuration storage API"...
9329
9330 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9331
9332 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9333 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9334
9335 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9336
9337 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9338
9339 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9340 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9341 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9342 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9343 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9344 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9345 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9346
9347 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9348 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9349 [Richard Levitte]
9350
9351 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9352 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9353 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9354 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9355 [Bodo Moeller]
9356
9357 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9358 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9359 them in a portable way.
9360 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9361
9362 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9363
9364 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9365
9366 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9367 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9368
9369 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9370 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9371 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9372 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9373
9374 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9375 was larger than the MD block size.
9376 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9377
9378 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9379 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9380 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9381 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9382 components.
9383 [Steve Henson]
9384
9385 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9386 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9387 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9388
9389 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9390 discouraged.
9391 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9392
9393 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9394 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9395 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9396 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9397 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9398 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9399
9400 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9401 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9402
9403 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9404 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9405 [Bodo Moeller]
9406
9407 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9408 [Bodo Moeller]
9409
9410 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9411 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9412 its own key.
9413 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9414 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9415 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9416 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9417 [Bodo Moeller]
9418
9419 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9420 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9421 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9422 does not suppress any output.
9423 [Richard Levitte]
9424
9425 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9426 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9427 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9428 with all the associated security issues.
9429
9430 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9431 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9432 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9433 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9434 use the value in the default purpose.
9435 [Steve Henson]
9436
9437 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9438 and fix a memory leak.
9439 [Steve Henson]
9440
9441 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9442 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9443 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9444 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9445 [Bodo Moeller]
9446
9447 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9448 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9449 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9450 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9451 [Bodo Moeller]
9452
9453 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9454 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9455 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9456 [Bodo Moeller]
9457
9458 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9459 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9460 [Bodo Moeller]
9461
9462 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9463 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9464 which was free.
9465 [Steve Henson]
9466
9467 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9468 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9469 [Bodo Moeller]
9470
9471 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9472 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9473 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9474 [Bodo Moeller]
9475
9476 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9477 number generation fails.
9478 [Bodo Moeller]
9479
9480 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9481 [Bodo Moeller]
9482
9483 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9484 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9485
9486 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9487 [Ulf Möller]
9488
9489 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9490 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9491
9492 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9493 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9494
9495 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9496
9497 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9498 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9499 [Steve Henson]
9500
9501 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9502 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9503
9504 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9505 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9506 [Ulf Möller]
9507
9508 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9509 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9510 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9511 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9512 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9513 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9514
9515 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9516 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9517 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9518 for example.
9519 [Steve Henson]
9520
9521 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9522 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9523 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9524 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9525 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9526 counter, some don't.)
9527 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9528 counters or duplicate objects.
9529 [Steve Henson]
9530
9531 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9532 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9533 [Steve Henson]
9534
9535 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9536 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9537 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9538
9539 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9540 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9541 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9542 or -rand.
9543 [Ulf Möller]
9544
9545 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9546 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9547 [Steve Henson]
9548
9549 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9550 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9551 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9552 cipher list.
9553 [Steve Henson]
9554
9555 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9556 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9557 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9558 [Steve Henson]
9559
9560 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9561 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9562 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9563 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9564 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9565 should work without changes.
9566 [Richard Levitte]
9567
9568 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9569 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9570 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9571 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9572 must be defined. E.g.,
9573 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9574 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9575 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9576 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9577
9578 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9579 record layer.
9580 [Bodo Moeller]
9581
9582 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9583 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9584 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9585 [Steve Henson]
9586
9587 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9588 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9589 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9590 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9591 [Steve Henson]
9592
9593 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9594 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9595 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9596 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9597 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9598 is prompted for as usual.
9599 [Steve Henson]
9600
9601 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9602 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9603 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9604 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9605
9606 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9607 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9608 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9609 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9610 [Steve Henson]
9611
9612 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9613 [Andy Polyakov]
9614
9615 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9616 of seed file.
9617 [Steve Henson]
9618
9619 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9620 [Bodo Moeller]
9621
9622 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9623 [Steve Henson]
9624
9625 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9626 bits.
9627 [Ulf Möller]
9628
9629 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9630 [Ulf Möller]
9631
9632 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9633 [Andy Polyakov]
9634
9635 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9636 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9637 [Ulf Möller]
9638
9639 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9640 options to produce them.
9641 [Steve Henson]
9642
9643 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9644 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9645 [Ulf Möller]
9646
9647 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9648 for p == 0.
9649 [Ulf Möller]
9650
9651 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9652 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9653 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9654 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9655 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9656 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9657 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9658 [Steve Henson]
9659
9660 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9661 [Steve Henson]
9662
9663 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9664 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9665 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9666 [Bodo Moeller]
9667
9668 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9669 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9670
9671 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9672 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9673 [Ulf Möller]
9674
9675 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9676 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9677 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9678 has already seen).
9679 [Bodo Moeller]
9680
9681 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9682 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9683
9684 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9685 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9686 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9687 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9688 generation becomes much faster.
9689
9690 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9691 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9692 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9693 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9694 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9695 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9696 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9697 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9698 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9699 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9700 [Bodo Moeller]
9701
9702 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9703 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9704 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9705 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9706 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9707 trial division stage.
9708 [Bodo Moeller]
9709
9710 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9711 as ASN1_TIME.
9712 [Steve Henson]
9713
9714 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9715 [Steve Henson]
9716
9717 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9718 [Ulf Möller]
9719
9720 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9721 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9722 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9723 the comments.
9724 [Ulf Möller]
9725
9726 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9727 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9728 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9729 [Bodo Moeller]
9730
9731 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9732 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9733 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9734 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9735
9736 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
9737 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
9738 [Steve Henson]
9739
9740 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
9741 [Ulf Möller]
9742
9743 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
9744 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
9745 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
9746 Rabin-Miller iterations.
9747 [Ulf Möller]
9748
9749 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
9750 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
9751 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
9752 [Ulf Möller]
9753
9754 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
9755 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
9756 (instead of parameters) in future.
9757 [Steve Henson]
9758
9759 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
9760 when a new cipher list is set.
9761 [Steve Henson]
9762
9763 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
9764 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
9765 wrong.
9766
9767 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9768 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9769 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9770
9771 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9772 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9773 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9774 an error is flagged.
9775
9776 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9777 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9778 the readability was also increased :-)
9779 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9780
9781 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9782 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9783 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9784 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9785 as the root CA.
9786 [Steve Henson]
9787
9788 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9789 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9790 [Steve Henson]
9791
9792 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9793 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9794 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
9795 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9796 instead.
9797
9798 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9799 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9800 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9801 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9802 because they handle more complex structures.)
9803 [Steve Henson]
9804
9805 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9806 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9807 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9808 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9809
9810 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9811 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9812 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9813 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9814 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9815 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9816 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9817 [Ulf Möller]
9818
9819 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9820 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9821 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9822 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9823 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9824 [Bodo Moeller]
9825
9826 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9827 [Bodo Moeller]
9828
9829 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9830 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9831 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9832 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9833 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9834 to use this.
9835
9836 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9837 code.
9838 [Steve Henson]
9839
9840 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9841 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9842 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9843 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9844 [Steve Henson]
9845
9846 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9847 [Ulf Möller]
9848
9849 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9850 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9851 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9852 international characters are used.
9853
9854 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9855 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9856 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9857 in ASN1 order.
9858 [Steve Henson]
9859
9860 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9861 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9862 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
9863 request.
9864
9865 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
9866 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
9867 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
9868 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
9869 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
9870 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
9871
9872 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
9873 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
9874 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
9875 be handled by the string table functions.
9876
9877 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
9878 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
9879 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
9880 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
9881 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
9882 types at all.
9883 [Steve Henson]
9884
9885 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
9886 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
9887 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
9888 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
9889 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
9890
9891 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
9892 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
9893 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
9894 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
9895 [Bodo Moeller]
9896
9897 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
9898 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
9899 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
9900 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
9901 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
9902 SHA1.
9903 [Andy Polyakov]
9904
9905 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
9906 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
9907 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
9908 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
9909 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
9910 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
9911 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
9912 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
9913
9914 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
9915 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
9916 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
9917 [Steve Henson]
9918
9919 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
9920 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
9921 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
9922 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
9923 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
9924 support to pkcs8 application.
9925 [Steve Henson]
9926
9927 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
9928 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
9929 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
9930 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
9931 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
9932 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
9933 [Bodo Moeller]
9934
9935 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
9936 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
9937 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
9938 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
9939 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
9940 consistency.
9941 [Bodo Moeller]
9942
9943 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
9944 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
9945 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
9946 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
9947 example.
9948 [Steve Henson]
9949
9950 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
9951 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
9952 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
9953 and any application specific purposes.
9954
9955 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
9956 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
9957 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
9958 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
9959 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
9960 if the certificate is self signed.
9961 [Steve Henson]
9962
9963 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
9964 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
9965 [Steve Henson]
9966
9967 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
9968 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
9969 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
9970 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
9971 [Steve Henson]
9972
9973 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
9974 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
9975 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
9976 Update documentation.
9977 [Steve Henson]
9978
9979 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
9980 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
9981 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
9982 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
9983 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
9984 [Steve Henson]
9985
9986 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
9987 for details.
9988 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
9989
9990 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
9991 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
9992 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
9993 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
9994 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
9995 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
9996 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
9997 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
9998 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
9999 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10000
10001 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10002
10003 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10004 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10005 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10006 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10007 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10008
10009 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10010 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10011 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10012 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10013 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10014 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10015 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10016 request additional information:
10017 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10018 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10019
10020 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10021 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10022 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10023 options.
10024
10025 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10026 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10027
10028 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10029 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10030 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10031
10032 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10033 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10034
10035 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10036 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10037 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10038 algorithm.
10039 [Steve Henson]
10040
10041 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10042 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10043 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10044
10045 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10046 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10047 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10048 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10049 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10050 included in OpenSSL.
10051 [Steve Henson]
10052
10053 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10054 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10055 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10056 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10057 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10058 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10059 [Bodo Moeller]
10060
10061 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10062 PKCS12 structure.
10063 [Steve Henson]
10064
10065 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10066 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10067 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10068 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10069 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10070 structure.
10071 [Steve Henson]
10072
10073 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10074 need initialising.
10075 [Steve Henson]
10076
10077 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10078 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10079 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10080 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10081 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10082 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10083 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10084 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10085 be maintained manually.
10086
10087 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10088 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10089 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10090 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10091 work because people forget to call this function]
10092 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10093 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10094 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10095 [Steve Henson]
10096
10097 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10098 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10099 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10100 should be discouraged from doing it.
10101 [Ben Laurie]
10102
10103 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10104 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10105 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10106 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10107 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10108 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10109 [Steve Henson]
10110
10111 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10112 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10113 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10114
10115 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10116 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10117 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10118
10119 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10120 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10121 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10122 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10123 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10124 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10125
10126 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10127 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10128 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10129
10130 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10131 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10132 and vice versa.
10133
10134 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10135 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10136 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10137 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10138 [Steve Henson]
10139
10140 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10141 [Steve Henson]
10142
10143 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10144 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10145 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10146 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10147 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10148 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10149 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10150 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10151 keys so we should be OK.
10152
10153 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10154 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10155 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10156 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10157 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10158 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10159 stay in the name of compatibility.
10160
10161 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10162 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10163 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10164
10165 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10166 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10167 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10168 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10169 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10170 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10171 supplied key).
10172 [Steve Henson]
10173
10174 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10175 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10176 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10177 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10178 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10179 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10180 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10181 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10182 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10183 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10184 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10185 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10186 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10187 [Steve Henson]
10188
10189 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10190 [Steve Henson]
10191
10192 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10193 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10194 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10195 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10196 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10197 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10198 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10199 openssl verify ss.pem
10200 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10201 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10202 is OK.
10203 [Steve Henson]
10204
10205 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10206 (and add it to external session representation).
10207 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10208 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10209 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10210 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10211 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10212 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10213 security holes.
10214 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10215
10216 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10217 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10218 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10219 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10220
10221 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10222 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10223 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10224 [Steve Henson]
10225
10226 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10227 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10228 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10229 code.
10230 [Steve Henson]
10231
10232 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10233 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10234 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10235
10236 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10237 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10238 certificate auxiliary information.
10239 [Steve Henson]
10240
10241 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10242 the 'enc' command.
10243 [Steve Henson]
10244
10245 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10246 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10247 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10248 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10249 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10250 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10251 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10252 [Richard Levitte]
10253
10254 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10255 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10256 [Steve Henson]
10257
10258 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10259 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10260 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10261 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10262 [Steve Henson]
10263
10264 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10265 [Steve Henson]
10266
10267 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10268 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10269 [Steve Henson]
10270
10271 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10272 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10273 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10274 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10275 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10276 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10277 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10278 using the new 'x509' options.
10279
10280 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10281 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10282 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10283 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10284 for all purposes.
10285 [Steve Henson]
10286
10287 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10288 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10289 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10290 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10291 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10292 [Mark Cox]
10293
10294 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10295 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10296 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10297 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10298 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10299 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10300 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10301 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10302 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10303 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10304 [Steve Henson]
10305
10306 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10307 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10308 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10309 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10310 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10311 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10312 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10313 [Steve Henson]
10314
10315 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10316 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10317 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10318 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10319 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10320 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10321 openssl.cnf for more info.
10322 [Steve Henson]
10323
10324 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10325 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10326 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10327 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10328 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10329 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10330 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10331 md should be large enough anyway.
10332 [Bodo Moeller]
10333
10334 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10335 for handling the random seed file.
10336
10337 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10338 ca,
10339 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10340 s_client,
10341 s_server,
10342 x509 (when signing).
10343 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10344 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10345 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10346
10347 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10348 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10349 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10350 that support '-rand'.
10351 [Bodo Moeller]
10352
10353 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10354 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10355 [Bodo Moeller]
10356
10357 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10358 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10359 [Bill Perry]
10360
10361 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10362 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10363 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10364 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10365 is suitable.
10366 [Steve Henson]
10367
10368 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10369 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10370 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10371 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10372 [Steve Henson]
10373
10374 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10375 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10376 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10377 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10378 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10379 print out all the purposes.
10380 [Steve Henson]
10381
10382 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10383 functions.
10384 [Steve Henson]
10385
10386 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10387 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10388 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10389 single function call.
10390 [Steve Henson]
10391
10392 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10393 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10394 [Andy Polyakov]
10395
10396 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10397 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10398 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10399 [Steve Henson]
10400
10401 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10402 when producing the local key id.
10403 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10404
10405 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10406 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10407 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10408 "server.pem".
10409 [Steve Henson]
10410
10411 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10412 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10413 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10414 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10415 [Steve Henson]
10416
10417 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10418 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10419 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10420 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10421
10422 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10423 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10424 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10425 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10426
10427 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10428 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10429 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10430 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10431 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10432 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10433 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10434 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10435 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10436 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10437 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10438 trivial: move one line.
10439 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10440
10441 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10442 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10443 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10444 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10445 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10446 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10447 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10448 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10449 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10450 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10451 with an event loop for example.
10452 [Steve Henson]
10453
10454 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10455 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10456 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10457 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10458 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10459 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10460 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10461 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10462 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10463 [Steve Henson]
10464
10465 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10466 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10467 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10468 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10469 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10470 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10471 [Steve Henson]
10472
10473 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10474 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10475 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10476 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10477
10478 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10479 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10480 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10481 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10482 key generation.
10483 [Steve Henson]
10484
10485 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10486 (still largely untested)
10487 [Bodo Moeller]
10488
10489 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10490 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10491 [Steve Henson]
10492
10493 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10494 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10495 [Steve Henson]
10496
10497 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10498 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10499 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10500 [Bodo Moeller]
10501
10502 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10503 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10504 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10505 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10506 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10507 [Steve Henson]
10508
10509 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10510 [Andy Polyakov]
10511
10512 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10513 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10514 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10515 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10516 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10517 in ca.
10518 [Steve Henson]
10519
10520 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10521 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10522 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10523 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10524 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10525 [Steve Henson]
10526
10527 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10528 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10529 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10530 are otherwise ignored at present.
10531 [Steve Henson]
10532
10533 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10534 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10535 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10536 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10537 copied until the next read.
10538 [Steve Henson]
10539
10540 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10541 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10542 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10543 [Steve Henson]
10544
10545 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10546 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10547 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10548 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10549 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10550 associated functions.
10551 [Steve Henson]
10552
10553 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10554 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10555 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10556 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10557 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10558 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10559 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10560 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10561 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10562 memory BIOs.
10563 [Steve Henson]
10564
10565 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10566 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10567 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10568 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10569 [Bodo Moeller]
10570
10571 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10572 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10573 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10574 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10575 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10576 functionality.
10577 [Steve Henson]
10578
10579 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10580 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10581 under Win32.
10582 [Steve Henson]
10583
10584 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10585 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10586 extensions to be obtained and added.
10587 [Steve Henson]
10588
10589 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10590 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10591 [Bodo Moeller]
10592
10593 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10594
10595 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10596 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10597
10598 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10599 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10600
10601 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10602 program.
10603 [Steve Henson]
10604
10605 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10606 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10607 DH parameters contain its length).
10608
10609 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10610 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10611 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10612 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10613 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10614 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10615 utter importance to use
10616 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10617 or
10618 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10619 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10620 attacks may become possible!
10621 [Bodo Moeller]
10622
10623 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10624 [Bodo Moeller]
10625
10626 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10627 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10628 [Steve Henson]
10629
10630 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10631 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10632 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10633 or long name.
10634 [Steve Henson]
10635
10636 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10637 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10638 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10639 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10640 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10641 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10642 private key operations.
10643 [Steve Henson]
10644
10645 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10646 [Andy Polyakov]
10647
10648 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10649 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10650 to
10651 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10652 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10653 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10654 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10655 the password callback is called.
10656 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10657
10658 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10659
10660 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10661 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10662 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10663 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10664 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10665 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10666 this will work.
10667
10668 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10669 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10670 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10671 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10672 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10673 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10674 [Bodo Moeller]
10675
10676 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10677 [Andy Polyakov]
10678
10679 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10680 delete an unused file.
10681 [Ulf Möller]
10682
10683 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10684 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10685 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10686 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10687 [Steve Henson]
10688
10689 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10690 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10691 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10692 of an error.
10693 [Bodo Moeller]
10694
10695 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10696 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10697 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10698
10699 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10700 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10701 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10702 comparison" warnings.
10703 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10704 [Steve Henson]
10705
10706 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10707 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10708 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10709 [Steve Henson]
10710
10711 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10712 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10713
10714 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10715 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10716
10717 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10718 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10719 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10720
10721 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10722 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10723 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10724 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10725 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10726 this bug.
10727 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10728
10729 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10730 The interface is as follows:
10731 Applications can use
10732 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10733 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10734 "off" is now the default.
10735 The library internally uses
10736 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
10737 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
10738 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
10739
10740 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
10741 even the default) are now avoided.
10742
10743 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
10744 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
10745 than just having a counter.
10746
10747 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
10748
10749 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
10750 extensions.
10751 [Bodo Moeller]
10752
10753 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
10754 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
10755 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
10756 Initial "mode" flags are:
10757
10758 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
10759 a single record has been written.
10760 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
10761 retries use the same buffer location.
10762 (But all of the contents must be
10763 copied!)
10764 [Bodo Moeller]
10765
10766 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
10767 worked.
10768
10769 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10770 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10771
10772 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10773 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10774 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10775 [Steve Henson]
10776
10777 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10778 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10779 test programs.
10780 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10781
10782 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10783 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10784 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10785 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10786 point to the end.
10787 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10788 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10789
10790 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10791 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10792 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10793 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10794 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10795 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10796 [Steve Henson]
10797
10798 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10799 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10800 necessary function names.
10801 [Steve Henson]
10802
10803 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10804 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10805 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10806 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10807 [Bodo Moeller]
10808
10809 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10810 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10811 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10812 [Steve Henson]
10813
10814 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10815 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10816 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10817 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10818 such programs?)
10819 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10820 need locks.
10821 [Bodo Moeller]
10822
10823 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10824 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10825 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10826 [Bodo Moeller]
10827
10828 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10829 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10830 appropriate.
10831 [Bodo Moeller]
10832
10833 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10834 for the encoded length.
10835 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10836
10837 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10838 [Steve Henson]
10839
10840 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10841 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10842 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10843 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10844 [Steve Henson]
10845
10846 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10847 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10848 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10849
10850 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10851 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10852 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10853 unusual formatting.
10854 [Steve Henson]
10855
10856 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10857 to use the new extension code.
10858 [Steve Henson]
10859
10860 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10861 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10862 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
10863 constant.
10864 [Steve Henson]
10865
10866 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
10867 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
10868 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
10869 [Bodo Moeller]
10870
10871 #if 0
10872 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
10873 [Ben Laurie]
10874 #else
10875 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
10876 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
10877 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
10878 #endif
10879
10880 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
10881 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
10882 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
10883 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
10884 [Ben Laurie]
10885
10886 *) DES library cleanups.
10887 [Ulf Möller]
10888
10889 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
10890 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
10891 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
10892 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
10893 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
10894 of v2.0.
10895 [Steve Henson]
10896
10897 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
10898 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
10899 [Bodo Moeller]
10900
10901 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
10902 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
10903 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
10904 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
10905 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
10906 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
10907 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
10908 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
10909 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
10910 [Steve Henson]
10911
10912 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
10913 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
10914 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
10915 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
10916 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
10917 value doesn't matter.
10918 [Steve Henson]
10919
10920 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
10921 support mutable.
10922 [Ben Laurie]
10923
10924 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
10925 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
10926 "linux-sparc" configuration.
10927 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
10928
10929 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
10930 [Ulf Möller]
10931
10932 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
10933 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
10934 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10935
10936 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
10937 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10938
10939 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
10940 [Ben Laurie]
10941
10942 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
10943 [Ben Laurie]
10944
10945 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
10946 [Ben Laurie]
10947
10948 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
10949 [Bodo Moeller]
10950
10951
10952 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
10953
10954 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
10955
10956 *) Updated some demos.
10957 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
10958
10959 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
10960 [Wu Zhigang]
10961
10962 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
10963 [Steve Henson]
10964
10965 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
10966 [Steve Henson]
10967
10968 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
10969 instead of using a fixed path.
10970 [Bodo Moeller]
10971
10972 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
10973 [Andy Polyakov]
10974
10975 *) Improvements for VMS support.
10976 [Richard Levitte]
10977
10978
10979 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
10980
10981 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
10982 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
10983 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10984
10985 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
10986 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
10987 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
10988 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
10989 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
10990 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
10991 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
10992 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
10993 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
10994 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
10995 [Steve Henson]
10996
10997 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
10998 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
10999 [Steve Henson]
11000
11001 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11002 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11003 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11004 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11005 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11006
11007 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11008 [Bodo Moeller]
11009
11010 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11011 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11012 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11013 [Steve Henson]
11014
11015 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11016 [Ben Laurie]
11017
11018 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11019 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11020 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11021 key elements as negative integers.
11022 [Steve Henson]
11023
11024 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11025 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11026
11027 *) VMS support.
11028 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11029
11030 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11031 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11032 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11033 [Steve Henson]
11034
11035 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11036 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11037 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11038 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11039 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11040 [Bodo Moeller]
11041
11042 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11043 [Ulf Möller]
11044
11045 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11046 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11047 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11048 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11049
11050 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11051 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11052 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11053
11054 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11055 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11056 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11057 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11058 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11059 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11060 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11061 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11062 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11063
11064 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11065 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11066 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11067 does not influence s as it used to.
11068
11069 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11070 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11071 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11072 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11073 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11074 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11075 [Bodo Moeller]
11076
11077 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11078 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11079 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11080 key type.
11081 [Steve Henson]
11082
11083 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11084 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11085 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11086 and 'x509').
11087 [Steve Henson]
11088
11089 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11090 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11091 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11092 extension option.
11093 [Steve Henson]
11094
11095 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11096 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11097 [Ben Laurie]
11098
11099 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11100 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11101
11102 *) Support Mingw32.
11103 [Ulf Möller]
11104
11105 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11106 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11107
11108 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11109 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11110
11111 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11112 [Ulf Möller]
11113
11114 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11115 [Anonymous]
11116
11117 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11118 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11119
11120 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11121 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11122 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11123 DER-encoded.)
11124 [Bodo Moeller]
11125
11126 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11127 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11128 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11129 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11130 now it really counts the depth.
11131 [Bodo Moeller]
11132
11133 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11134 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11135 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11136 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11137 didn't match the private key).
11138
11139 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11140 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11141 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11142 [Bodo Moeller]
11143
11144 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11145 [Ulf Möller]
11146
11147 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11148 David Harris.
11149 [Bodo Moeller]
11150
11151 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11152 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11153 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11154 [Bodo Moeller]
11155
11156 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11157 [Bodo Moeller]
11158
11159 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11160 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11161 such as /usr/local/bin.
11162 [Bodo Moeller]
11163
11164 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11165 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11166
11167 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11168 [Ulf Möller]
11169
11170 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11171 extension adding in x509 utility.
11172 [Steve Henson]
11173
11174 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11175 [Ulf Möller]
11176
11177 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11178 prototypes.
11179 [Steve Henson]
11180
11181 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11182 [Ulf Möller]
11183
11184 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11185 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11186 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11187 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11188 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11189 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11190 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11191 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11192 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11193 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11194 [Steve Henson]
11195
11196 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11197 [Bodo Moeller]
11198
11199 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11200 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11201 [Bodo Moeller]
11202
11203 *) Fix some race conditions.
11204 [Bodo Moeller]
11205
11206 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11207 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11208 [Steve Henson]
11209
11210 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11211 [Ulf Möller]
11212
11213 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11214 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11215 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11216 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11217
11218 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11219 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11220
11221 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11222 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11223 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11224
11225 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11226 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11227
11228 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11229 [Ulf Möller]
11230
11231 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11232 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11233
11234 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11235 [Ulf Möller]
11236
11237 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11238 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11239
11240 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11241 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11242 [Steve Henson]
11243
11244 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11245 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11246 [Ben Laurie]
11247
11248 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11249 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11250 [Steve Henson]
11251
11252 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11253 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11254 [Steve Henson]
11255
11256 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11257 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11258 [Steve Henson]
11259
11260 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11261 support typesafe stack.
11262 [Steve Henson]
11263
11264 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11265 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11266
11267 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11268 old X509V3 handling code.
11269 [Steve Henson]
11270
11271 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11272 [Ulf Möller]
11273
11274 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11275 [Bodo Moeller]
11276
11277 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11278 [Ben Laurie]
11279
11280 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11281 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11282
11283 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11284 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11285 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11286 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11287 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11288 [Ben Laurie]
11289
11290 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11291 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11292 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11293 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11294 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11295
11296 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11297 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11298 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11299 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11300
11301 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11302 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11303 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11304 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11305
11306 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11307 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11308 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11309 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11310 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11311 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11312 [Bodo Moeller]
11313
11314 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11315 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11316 [Bodo Moeller]
11317
11318 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11319 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11320 [Ulf Möller]
11321
11322 *) Tweaks to Configure
11323 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11324
11325 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11326 yet...
11327 [Steve Henson]
11328
11329 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11330 [Ulf Möller]
11331
11332 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11333 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11334 [Ulf Möller]
11335
11336 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11337 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11338 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11339 [Bodo Moeller]
11340
11341 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11342 [Bodo Moeller]
11343
11344 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11345 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11346 [Steve Henson]
11347
11348 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11349 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11350 to library startup routines.
11351 [Steve Henson]
11352
11353 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11354 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11355 codes along the way.
11356 [Steve Henson]
11357
11358 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11359 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11360 objects to objects.h
11361 [Steve Henson]
11362
11363 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11364 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11365 [Steve Henson]
11366
11367 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11368 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11369
11370 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11371 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11372 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11373
11374 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11375 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11376 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11377
11378 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11379 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11380 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11381
11382
11383 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11384
11385 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11386 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11387 [Ben Laurie]
11388
11389 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11390 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11391 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11392 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11393 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11394
11395 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11396 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11397 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11398 document.
11399 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11400
11401 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11402 Malloc, Free.
11403 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11404
11405 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11406 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11407
11408 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11409 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11410 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11411 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11412
11413 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11414 [Ben Laurie]
11415
11416 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11417 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11418 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11419 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11420 [Steve Henson]
11421
11422 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11423 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11424 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11425 [Steve Henson]
11426
11427 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11428 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11429 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11430 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11431 installed as `perl').
11432 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11433
11434 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11435 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11436
11437 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11438 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11439 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11440 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11441 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11442 [Steve Henson]
11443
11444 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11445 [Ben Laurie]
11446
11447 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11448 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11449 is horrible: I feel ill....
11450 [Steve Henson]
11451
11452 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11453 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11454 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11455 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11456 [Steve Henson]
11457
11458 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11459 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11460
11461 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11462 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11463 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11464 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11465
11466 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11467 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11468 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11469 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11470 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11471 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11472 openssl_bio.xs.
11473 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11474
11475 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11476 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11477
11478 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11479 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11480
11481 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11482 [Ben Laurie]
11483
11484 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11485 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11486 in CRLs.
11487 [Steve Henson]
11488
11489 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11490 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11491 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11492 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11493 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11494 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11495 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11496 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11497 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11498 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11499 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11500
11501 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11502 [Ben Laurie]
11503
11504 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11505 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11506 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11507 for linking it into DSOs.
11508 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11509
11510 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11511 Fixed.
11512 [Ben Laurie]
11513
11514 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11515 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11516 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11517 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11518 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11519 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11520
11521 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11522 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11523 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11524 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11525 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11526 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11527 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11528
11529 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11530 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11531 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11532 encryption.
11533 [Ben Laurie]
11534
11535 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11536 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11537 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11538 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11539 [Steve Henson]
11540
11541 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11542 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11543 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11544 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11545 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11546 field as blank.
11547 [Steve Henson]
11548
11549 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11550 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11551 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11552 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11553 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11554
11555 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11556 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11557 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11558
11559 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11560 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11561
11562 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11563 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11564 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11565 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11566 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11567 [Steve Henson]
11568
11569 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11570 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11571 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11572 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11573 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11574 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11575 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11576 [Ben Laurie]
11577
11578 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11579 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11580 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11581 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11582 [Ben Laurie]
11583
11584 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11585 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11586
11587 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11588 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11589 [Steve Henson]
11590
11591 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11592 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11593 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11594 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11595 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11596 (e.g. s_server).
11597 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11598 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11599 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11600 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11601 no way to reconfigure them.
11602 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11603 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11604 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11605 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11606 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11607 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11608
11609 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11610 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11611 recognized by the users.
11612 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11613
11614 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11615 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11616 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11617 already masked variable.
11618 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11619
11620 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11621 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11622
11623 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11624 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11625 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11626 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11627
11628 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11629 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11630 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11631
11632 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11633 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11634 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11635 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11636 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11637 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11638 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11639 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11640 now, too.
11641 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11642
11643 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11644 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11645 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11646
11647 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11648 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11649 config file.
11650 [Steve Henson]
11651
11652 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11653 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11654
11655 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11656 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11657 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11658 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11659 [Ben Laurie]
11660
11661 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11662 [Steve Henson]
11663
11664 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11665 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11666
11667 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11668 [Ben Laurie]
11669
11670 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11671 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11672 [Steve Henson]
11673
11674 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11675 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11676 [Steve Henson]
11677
11678 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11679 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11680 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11681 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11682 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11683 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11684 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11685 Ben Laurie]
11686
11687 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11688 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11689
11690 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11691 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11692 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11693 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11694 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11695
11696 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11697 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11698 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11699 [Steve Henson]
11700
11701 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11702 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11703 an example.
11704 [Steve Henson]
11705
11706 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11707 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11708 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11709
11710 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11711 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11712 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11713 build instructions.
11714 [Steve Henson]
11715
11716 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11717 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11718 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11719 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11720 [Steve Henson]
11721
11722 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11723 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11724 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11725 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11726 [Ben Laurie]
11727
11728 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11729 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11730 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11731 so it wasn't spotted.
11732 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11733
11734 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11735 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11736 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
11737 vectors if you have them.
11738 [Ben Laurie]
11739
11740 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
11741 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
11742 [Ben Laurie]
11743
11744 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
11745 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
11746 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
11747 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
11748 If you do a:
11749 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
11750 it will update them.
11751 [Steve Henson]
11752
11753 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
11754 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
11755 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
11756 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
11757 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
11758 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
11759 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
11760 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11761
11762 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
11763 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
11764 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
11765 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
11766 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
11767 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11768 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11769 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11770 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11771 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11772
11773 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11774 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11775 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11776 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11777 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11778 [Steve Henson]
11779
11780 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11781 INTEGER code.
11782 [Steve Henson]
11783
11784 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11785 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11786
11787 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11788 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11789
11790 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11791 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11792 [Ben Laurie]
11793
11794 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11795 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11796
11797 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11798 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11799
11800 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11801 [Steve Henson]
11802
11803 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11804 few typos.
11805 [Steve Henson]
11806
11807 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11808 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11809 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11810 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11811
11812 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11813 [Steve Henson]
11814
11815 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11816 [Steve Henson]
11817
11818 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11819 [Steve Henson]
11820
11821 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11822 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11823 [Steve Henson]
11824
11825 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11826 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11827 CA extensions.
11828 [Steve Henson]
11829
11830 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11831 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11832 [Steve Henson]
11833
11834 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11835 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11836 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11837 [Steve Henson]
11838
11839 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11840 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11841 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11842 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11843 properly to be processed.
11844 [Steve Henson]
11845
11846 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11847 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11848 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11849 [Ben Laurie]
11850
11851 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11852 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11853
11854 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11855 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11856 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11857 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11858 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11859 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11860 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11861 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11862 or delete all the .err files.
11863 [Steve Henson]
11864
11865 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
11866 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
11867 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
11868 to regenerate it if needed.
11869 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
11870 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
11871
11872 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
11873 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11874
11875 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
11876 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
11877 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
11878 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
11879 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
11880 [Steve Henson]
11881
11882 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
11883 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11884
11885 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
11886 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11887
11888 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
11889 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
11890 error, but didn't set one).
11891 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11892
11893 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
11894 [Ben Laurie]
11895
11896 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
11897 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
11898 [Steve Henson]
11899
11900 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
11901 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
11902
11903 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
11904 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
11905 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
11906 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
11907 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
11908 OID is not part of the table.
11909 [Steve Henson]
11910
11911 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
11912 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
11913 [Ben Laurie]
11914
11915 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
11916 [Ben Laurie]
11917
11918 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
11919 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
11920 was "1234").
11921 [Steve Henson]
11922
11923 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
11924 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
11925
11926 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
11927 NULL pointers.
11928 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11929
11930 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
11931 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11932
11933 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
11934 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11935
11936 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
11937 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11938
11939 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
11940 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
11941 [Ben Laurie]
11942
11943 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
11944 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
11945 [Steve Henson]
11946
11947 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
11948 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11949
11950 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
11951 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11952
11953 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
11954 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11955
11956 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
11957 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11958
11959 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
11960 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
11961 unused in the certificate verification process.
11962 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11963
11964 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
11965 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
11966 [Steve Henson]
11967
11968 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
11969 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
11970 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
11971
11972 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
11973 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
11974 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
11975 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
11976 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
11977
11978 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
11979 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
11980 [Steve Henson]
11981
11982 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
11983 [Steve Henson]
11984
11985 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
11986 [Paul Sutton]
11987
11988 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
11989 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
11990
11991 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
11992 [Ben Laurie]
11993
11994 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
11995 [Ben Laurie]
11996
11997 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
11998 [Ben Laurie]
11999
12000 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12001 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12002 other error libraries.
12003 [Steve Henson]
12004
12005 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12006 [Steve Henson]
12007
12008 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12009 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12010 be read in.
12011 [Steve Henson]
12012
12013 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12014 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12015 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12016 the new set of documentation files.
12017 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12018
12019 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12020 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12021 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12022 number of arguments.
12023 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12024
12025 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12026 [Ben Laurie]
12027
12028 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12029 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12030 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12031
12032 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12033 [Ben Laurie]
12034
12035 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12036 nextstep
12037 ncr-scde
12038 unixware-2.0
12039 unixware-2.0-pentium
12040 sco5-cc.
12041 [Ben Laurie]
12042
12043 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12044 before they are needed.
12045 [Ben Laurie]
12046
12047 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12048 [Ben Laurie]
12049
12050
12051 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12052
12053 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12054 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12055 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12056
12057 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12058 [Paul Sutton]
12059
12060 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12061 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12062 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12063
12064 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12065 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12066 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12067
12068 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12069 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12070 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12071
12072 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12073 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12074
12075 *) Updated the README file.
12076 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12077
12078 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12079 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12080 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12081
12082 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12083 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12084 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12085
12086 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12087 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12088 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12089 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12090 o removed obsolete TODO file
12091 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12092 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12093
12094 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12095 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12096 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
12097 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
12098 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
12099 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
12100 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12101
12102 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12103 [Mark J. Cox]
12104
12105 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12106 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12107 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12108 summer 1998.

12121 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
12122 [Eric A. Young]
12123
12124 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
12125 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
12126 available).
12127 [Eric A. Young]
12128
12129 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
12130 binary structures

12186 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12187 [Eric A. Young]
12188
12189 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12190 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
12191 [Eric A. Young]
12192
12193 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
