16
17 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
18
19 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
20 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
21 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
22
23 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
24 (CVE-2017-3731)
25 [Andy Polyakov]
26
27 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
28
29 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
30 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
31 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
32 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
33 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
34 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
35 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
36 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
37 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
38 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
39 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
40 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
41 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
42
43 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
44 (CVE-2017-3732)
45 [Andy Polyakov]
46
47 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
48
49 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
50 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
51 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
52 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
53 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
54 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
55 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
56 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
57 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
58 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
59 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
60 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
61 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
62 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
63
64 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
65 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
66 providing reproducible case.
67 (CVE-2016-7055)
68 [Andy Polyakov]
69
70 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
71 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
72 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
73 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
74 [Matt Caswell]
75
76 Changes between 1.0.2i and 1.0.2j [26 Sep 2016]
77
78 *) Missing CRL sanity check
79
80 A bug fix which included a CRL sanity check was added to OpenSSL 1.1.0
81 but was omitted from OpenSSL 1.0.2i. As a result any attempt to use
82 CRLs in OpenSSL 1.0.2i will crash with a null pointer exception.
83
84 This issue only affects the OpenSSL 1.0.2i
85 (CVE-2016-7052)
86 [Matt Caswell]
87
88 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.0.2i [22 Sep 2016]
89
90 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
91
92 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
93 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
94 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
95 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
96 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
97 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
98 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
99
100 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
101 (CVE-2016-6304)
102 [Matt Caswell]
103
104 *) In order to mitigate the SWEET32 attack, the DES ciphers were moved from
105 HIGH to MEDIUM.
106
107 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Gaetan
108 Leurent (INRIA)
109 (CVE-2016-2183)
110 [Rich Salz]
111
112 *) OOB write in MDC2_Update()
113
114 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or
115 through the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker
116 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous
117 call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check
118 can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
119
120 The amount of data needed is comparable to SIZE_MAX which is impractical
121 on most platforms.
122
123 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
124 (CVE-2016-6303)
125 [Stephen Henson]
126
127 *) Malformed SHA512 ticket DoS
128
129 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
130 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
131 ultimately crash.
132
133 The use of SHA512 in TLS session tickets is comparatively rare as it requires
134 a custom server callback and ticket lookup mechanism.
135
136 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
137 (CVE-2016-6302)
138 [Stephen Henson]
139
140 *) OOB write in BN_bn2dec()
141
142 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
143 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
144 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
145 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
146 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
147
148 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
149 (CVE-2016-2182)
150 [Stephen Henson]
151
152 *) OOB read in TS_OBJ_print_bio()
153
154 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
155 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
156 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are
157 presented.
158
159 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
160 (CVE-2016-2180)
161 [Stephen Henson]
162
163 *) Pointer arithmetic undefined behaviour
164
165 Avoid some undefined pointer arithmetic
166
167 A common idiom in the codebase is to check limits in the following manner:
168 "p + len > limit"
169
170 Where "p" points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and
171 limit == p + SIZE
172
173 "len" here could be from some externally supplied data (e.g. from a TLS
174 message).
175
176 The rules of C pointer arithmetic are such that "p + len" is only well
177 defined where len <= SIZE. Therefore the above idiom is actually
178 undefined behaviour.
179
180 For example this could cause problems if some malloc implementation
181 provides an address for "p" such that "p + len" actually overflows for
182 values of len that are too big and therefore p + len < limit.
183
184 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken
185 (CVE-2016-2177)
186 [Matt Caswell]
187
188 *) Constant time flag not preserved in DSA signing
189
190 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in
191 order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA
192 implementation means that a non-constant time codepath is followed for
193 certain operations. This has been demonstrated through a cache-timing
194 attack to be sufficient for an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
195
196 This issue was reported by César Pereida (Aalto University), Billy Brumley
197 (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom (The University of
198 Adelaide and NICTA).
199 (CVE-2016-2178)
200 [César Pereida]
201
202 *) DTLS buffered message DoS
203
204 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order
205 those messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered
206 for later use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that
207 those messages do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake
208 has been completed. An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to
209 remain in the buffer when they are no longer required. These messages will
210 be cleared when the DTLS connection is closed. The default maximum size for
211 a message is 100k. Therefore the attacker could force an additional 1500k
212 to be consumed per connection. By opening many simulataneous connections an
213 attacker could cause a DoS attack through memory exhaustion.
214
215 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Quan Luo.
216 (CVE-2016-2179)
217 [Matt Caswell]
218
219 *) DTLS replay protection DoS
220
221 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records
222 that arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before
223 the MAC for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an
224 attacker by sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to
225 decrypt or have a valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means
226 that all subsequent legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of
227 service for a specific DTLS connection.
228
229 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OCAP audit team.
230 (CVE-2016-2181)
231 [Matt Caswell]
232
233 *) Certificate message OOB reads
234
235 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result
236 in OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a
237 theoretical DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common
238 platforms.
239
240 The messages affected are client certificate, client certificate request
241 and server certificate. As a result the attack can only be performed
242 against a client or a server which enables client authentication.
243
244 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
245 (CVE-2016-6306)
246 [Stephen Henson]
247
248 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
249
250 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
251
252 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
253 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
254 AES-NI.
255
256 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
257 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
258 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
259 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
260 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
261 bytes.
262
263 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
264 (CVE-2016-2107)
265 [Kurt Roeckx]
266
267 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
268
269 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
270 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
271 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
272 corruption.
273
274 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarly used by
275 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
276 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
277 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
278 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
279 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
280
281 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
282 (CVE-2016-2105)
283 [Matt Caswell]
284
285 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
286
287 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
288 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
289 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
290 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
291 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
292 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
293 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
294 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
295 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
296 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
297 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
298 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
299 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
300 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
301 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
302 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
303
304 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
305 (CVE-2016-2106)
306 [Matt Caswell]
307
308 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
309
310 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
311 a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
312 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
313
314 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
315 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
316 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
317 applications are not affected.
318
319 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
320 (CVE-2016-2109)
321 [Stephen Henson]
322
323 *) EBCDIC overread
324
325 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
326 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
327 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
328
329 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
330 (CVE-2016-2176)
331 [Matt Caswell]
332
333 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
334 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
335 [Todd Short]
336
337 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
338 default.
339 [Kurt Roeckx]
340
341 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
342 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
343 [Kurt Roeckx]
344
345 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
346
347 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
348 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
349 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
350 [Viktor Dukhovni]
351
352 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
353 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
354 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
355 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
356 will need to explicitly call either of:
357
358 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
359 or
360 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
361
362 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
363 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
364 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
365 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
366 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
367 (CVE-2016-0800)
368 [Viktor Dukhovni]
369
370 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
371
372 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
373 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
374 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
375 considered rare.
376
377 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
378 libFuzzer.
379 (CVE-2016-0705)
380 [Stephen Henson]
381
382 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
383
384 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
385
386 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
387 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
388 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
389 is configured.
390
391 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
392 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
393 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
394 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
395 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
396 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
397 that of a valid user.
398 (CVE-2016-0798)
399 [Emilia Käsper]
400
401 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
402
403 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
404 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
405 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
406 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
407 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
408 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
409 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
410 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
411 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
412 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
413 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
414
415 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
416 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
417 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
418 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
419 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
420
421 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
422 (CVE-2016-0797)
423 [Matt Caswell]
424
425 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
426
427 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
428 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
429 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
430
431 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
432 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
433 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
434 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
435 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
436 also occur.
437
438 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
439 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
440 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
441 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
442 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
443 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
444 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
445 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
446 as command line arguments.
447
448 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
449 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
450 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
451
452 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
453 (CVE-2016-0799)
454 [Matt Caswell]
455
456 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
457
458 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
459 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
460 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
461 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
462 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
463
464 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
465 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
466 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
467 http://cachebleed.info.
468 (CVE-2016-0702)
469 [Andy Polyakov]
470
471 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
472 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
473 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
474 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
475 [Emilia Käsper]
476
477 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
478
479 *) DH small subgroups
480
481 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
482 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
483 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
484 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
485 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
486 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
487 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
488 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
489 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
490 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
491
492 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
493 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
494 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
495 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
496 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
497
498 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
499 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
500 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
501 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
502
503 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
504 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
505
506 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
507 (CVE-2016-0701)
508 [Matt Caswell]
509
510 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
511
512 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
513 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
514 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
515 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

517 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
518 and Sebastian Schinzel.
519 (CVE-2015-3197)
520 [Viktor Dukhovni]
521
522 *) Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 1024 bits.
523 [Kurt Roeckx]
524
525 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
526
527 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
528
529 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
530 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
531 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
532 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
533 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
534 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
535 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
536 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
537 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
538 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
539 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
540 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
541
542 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
543 (CVE-2015-3193)
544 [Andy Polyakov]
545
546 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
547
548 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
549 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
550 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
551 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
552 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
553 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
554 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
555 authentication.
556
557 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
558 (CVE-2015-3194)
559 [Stephen Henson]
560
561 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
562
563 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
564 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
565 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
566 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
567
568 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
569 libFuzzer.
570 (CVE-2015-3195)
571 [Stephen Henson]
572
573 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
574 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
575 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
576 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
577 [Emilia Käsper]
578
579 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
580 use a random seed, as already documented.
581 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
582
583 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
584
585 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
586
587 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
588 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
589 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
590 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
591 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
592 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
593
594 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
595 (Google/BoringSSL).
596 (CVE-2015-1793)
597 [Matt Caswell]
598
599 *) Race condition handling PSK identify hint
600
601 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
602 the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
603 result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
604 identify hint data.
605 (CVE-2015-3196)
606 [Stephen Henson]
607
608 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
609
610 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
611 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
612 restored.
613
614 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
615
616 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
617
618 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
619 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
620 field.
621
622 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
623 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
624 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
625 client authentication enabled.
626
627 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
628 (CVE-2015-1788)
629 [Andy Polyakov]
630
631 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
632
633 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
634 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
635 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
636 time string.
637
638 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
639 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
640 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
641 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
642 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
643 callbacks.
644
645 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
646 independently by Hanno Böck.
647 (CVE-2015-1789)
648 [Emilia Käsper]
649
650 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
651
652 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
653 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
654 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
655
656 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
657 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
658 servers are not affected.
659
660 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
661 (CVE-2015-1790)
662 [Emilia Käsper]
663
664 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
665
666 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
667 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
668 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
669 the CMS code.
670 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
671 (CVE-2015-1792)
672 [Stephen Henson]
673
674 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
675
676 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
677 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
678 a double free of the ticket data.
679 (CVE-2015-1791)
680 [Matt Caswell]
681
682 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
683 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
684 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
685 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
686 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
687 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
688 [Matt Caswell]
689
690 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
691 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
692 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
693 [Emilia Kasper]
694
695 *) Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 768 bits.
696 [Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper]
697
698 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
699
700 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
701
702 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
703 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
704 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
705
706 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
707 University.
708 (CVE-2015-0291)
709 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
710
711 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
712
713 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
714 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
715 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
716 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
717 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
718 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
719 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
720 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
721
722 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
723 (CVE-2015-0290)
724 [Matt Caswell]
725
726 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
727
728 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
729 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
730 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
731 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
732 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
733 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
734 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
735 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
736 server.
737
738 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
739 (CVE-2015-0207)
740 [Matt Caswell]
741
742 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
743
744 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
745 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
746 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
747 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
748 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
749 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
750 (CVE-2015-0286)
751 [Stephen Henson]
752
753 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
754
755 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
756 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
757 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
758 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
759 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
760 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
761 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
762
763 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
764 (CVE-2015-0208)
765 [Stephen Henson]
766
767 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
768
769 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
770 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
771 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
772
773 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
774 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
775 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
776 not affected.
777 (CVE-2015-0287)
778 [Stephen Henson]
779
780 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
781
782 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
783 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
784 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
785
786 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
787 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
788 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
789
790 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
791 (CVE-2015-0289)
792 [Emilia Käsper]
793
794 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
795
796 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
797 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
798 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
799
800 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
801 (OpenSSL development team).
802 (CVE-2015-0293)
803 [Emilia Käsper]
804
805 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
806
807 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
808 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
809 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
810 (CVE-2015-1787)
811 [Matt Caswell]
812
813 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
814
815 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
816 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
817 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
818 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
819 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
820 SSL_client_methodv23)
821 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
822 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
823
824 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
825 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
826 output may be predictable.
827
828 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
829 succeed on an unpatched platform:
830
831 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
832 (CVE-2015-0285)
833 [Matt Caswell]
834
835 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
836
837 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
838 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
839 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
840 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
841 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
842 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
843
844 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
845 commit 517073cd4b.
846 (CVE-2015-0209)
847 [Matt Caswell]
848
849 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
850
851 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
852 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
853
854 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
855 (CVE-2015-0288)
856 [Stephen Henson]
857
858 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
859 [Kurt Roeckx]
860
861 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
862
863 *) Change RSA and DH/DSA key generation apps to generate 2048-bit
864 keys by default.
865 [Kurt Roeckx]
866
867 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
868 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
869 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
870 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
871 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
872 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
873 [Andy Polyakov]
874
875 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
876 (other platforms pending).
877 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
878
879 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
880 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
881 [Rob Stradling]
882
883 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
884 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
885 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
886 [Bodo Moeller]
887
888 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
889 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
890 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
891 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
892 [Andy Polyakov]
893
894 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
895 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
896
897 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
898 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
899 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
900 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
901 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
902
903 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
904 [Andy Polyakov]
905
906 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
907 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
908 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
909 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
910
911 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
912 RSAZ.
913 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
914
915 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
916 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
917 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
918 for TLS encrypt.
919
920 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
921 [Andy Polyakov]
922
923 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
924 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
925 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
926 [Steve Henson]
927
928 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
929 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
930 [Steve Henson]
931
932 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
933 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
934 [Steve Henson]
935
936 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
937 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
938 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
939 algorithms and include tests cases.
940 [Steve Henson]
941
942 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
943 structure.
944 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
945
946 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
947 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
948 [Steve Henson]
949
950 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
951 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
952 summary of the connection parameters.
953 [Steve Henson]
954
955 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
956 of connection parameters.
957 [Steve Henson]
958
959 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
960 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
961
962 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
963 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
964 [Steve Henson]
965
966 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
967 [Steve Henson]
968
969 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
970 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
971 [Steve Henson]
972
973 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
974 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
975 [Steve Henson]
976
977 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
978 certificates.
979 [Steve Henson]
980
981 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
982 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
983 CRLs using the OCSP API.
984 [Steve Henson]
985
986 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
987 [Steve Henson]
988
989 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
990 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
991 [Steve Henson]
992
993 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
994 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
995 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
996 tracing.
997 [Steve Henson]
998
999 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1000 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1001 [Steve Henson]
1002
1003 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1004 OID NID.
1005 [Steve Henson]
1006
1007 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1008 client to OpenSSL.
1009 [Steve Henson]
1010
1011 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1012 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1013 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1014 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1015 [Steve Henson]
1016
1017 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1018 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1019 [Steve Henson]
1020
1021 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1022 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1023 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1024 comparison.
1025 [Steve Henson]
1026
1027 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1028 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1029 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1030 use the certificate.
1031 [Steve Henson]
1032
1033 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1034 [Steve Henson]
1035
1036 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1037 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1038 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1039 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1040 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1041 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1042 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1043
1044 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1045 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1046
1047 [Steve Henson]
1048
1049 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1050 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1051 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1052 [Steve Henson]
1053
1054 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1055 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1056 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1057 supported signature algorithms.
1058 [Steve Henson]
1059
1060 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1061 [Steve Henson]
1062
1063 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1064 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1065 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1066 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1067 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1068 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1069 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1070 [Steve Henson]
1071
1072 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1073 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1074 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1075 to have similar checks in it.
1076
1077 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1078 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1079 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1080 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1081 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1082 [Steve Henson]
1083
1084 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1085 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1086 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1087 shared signature algorithms.
1088 [Steve Henson]
1089
1090 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1091 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1092 to support them.
1093 [Steve Henson]
1094
1095 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1096 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1097 it couldn't be removed.
1098 [Steve Henson]
1099
1100 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1101 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1102 [Steve Henson]
1103
1104 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1105 functions. Add manual page.
1106 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1107
1108 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1109 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1110 a certificate.
1111 [Steve Henson]
1112
1113 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1114 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1115
1116 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1117 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1118 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1119 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1120 utility) or reject.
1121 [Steve Henson]
1122
1123 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1124 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1125 [Steve Henson]
1126
1127 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1128 platform support for Linux and Android.
1129 [Andy Polyakov]
1130
1131 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1132 [Andy Polyakov]
1133
1134 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1135 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1136 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1137 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1138 (often lower perfomance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1139 [Steve Henson]
1140
1141 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1142 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1143 the new parameter format automatically.
1144 [Steve Henson]
1145
1146 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1147 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1148 [Steve Henson]
1149
1150 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1151 [Steve Henson]
1152
1153 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1154 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1155 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1156 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1157 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1158 [Steve Henson]
1159
1160 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1161 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1162 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1163 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1164 to set list of supported curves.
1165 [Steve Henson]
1166
1167 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1168 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1169 to print out received values.
1170 [Steve Henson]
1171
1172 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1173 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1174 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1175 [Steve Henson]
1176
1177 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1178 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1179 [Steve Henson]
1180
1181 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1182 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1183 [Steve Henson]
1184
1185 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1186 certificates.
1187 [Steve Henson]
1188
1189 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1190 the certificate.
1191 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1192 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1193 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1194
1195 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1196
1197 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1198 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1199
1200 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1201
1202 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1203 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1204 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1205 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1206 (CVE-2014-3571)
1207 [Steve Henson]
1208
1209 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1210 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1211 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1212 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1213 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1214 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1215 (CVE-2015-0206)
1216 [Matt Caswell]
1217
1218 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1219 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1220 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1221 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1222 (CVE-2014-3569)
1223 [Kurt Roeckx]
1224
1225 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1226 ECDH ciphersuites.
1227
1228 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1229 reporting this issue.
1230 (CVE-2014-3572)
1231 [Steve Henson]
1232
1233 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1234 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1235 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1236 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1237 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1238 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1239 (CVE-2015-0204)
1240 [Steve Henson]
1241
1242 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1243 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1244 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1245 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1246 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1247 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1248 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1249 this issue.
1250 (CVE-2015-0205)
1251 [Steve Henson]
1252
1253 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1254 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1255
1256 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1257 and can vary with the CTX.
1258 [Adam Langley]
1259
1260 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1261
1262 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1263 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1264 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1265 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1266 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1267
1268 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1269
1270 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1271 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1272
1273 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1274
1275 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1276 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1277 errors for some broken certificates.
1278
1279 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1280
1281 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1282
1283 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1284 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1285
1286 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1287 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1288 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1289 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1290
1291 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1292 of the OpenSSL core team.
1293
1294 (CVE-2014-8275)
1295 [Steve Henson]
1296
1297 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1298 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1299 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1300 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1301 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1302 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1303 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1304 the OpenSSL core team.
1305 (CVE-2014-3570)
1306 [Andy Polyakov]
1307
1308 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1309 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1310 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1311 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1312 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1313
1314 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1315 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1316 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1317 [Emilia Käsper]
1318
1319 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1320 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1321 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1322 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1323 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1324
1325 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1326 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1327 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1328 [Emilia Käsper]
1329
1330 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1331
1332 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1333
1334 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1335 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1336 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1337 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1338 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1339 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1340 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1341
1342 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1343 (CVE-2014-3513)
1344 [OpenSSL team]
1345
1346 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1347
1348 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1349 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1350 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1351 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1352 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1353 attack.
1354 (CVE-2014-3567)
1355 [Steve Henson]
1356
1357 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1358
1359 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1360 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1361 configured to send them.
1362 (CVE-2014-3568)
1363 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1364
1365 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1366 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1367 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1368 (CVE-2014-3566)
1369 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1370
1371 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1372
1373 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1374 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1375 DigestInfo structures.
1376
1377 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1378
1379 [Steve Henson]
1380
1381 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1382
1383 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1384 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1385 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1386
1387 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1388 Group for discovering this issue.
1389 (CVE-2014-3512)
1390 [Steve Henson]
1391
1392 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1393 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1394 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1395 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1396 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1397
1398 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1399 researching this issue.
1400 (CVE-2014-3511)
1401 [David Benjamin]
1402
1403 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1404 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1405 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1406 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1407
1408 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1409 issue.
1410 (CVE-2014-3510)
1411 [Emilia Käsper]
1412
1413 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1414 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1415 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1416 (CVE-2014-3507)
1417 [Adam Langley]
1418
1419 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1420 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1421 Denial of Service attack.
1422 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1423 (CVE-2014-3506)
1424 [Adam Langley]
1425
1426 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1427 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1428 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1429 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1430 this issue.
1431 (CVE-2014-3505)
1432 [Adam Langley]
1433
1434 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1435 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1436 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1437
1438 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1439 issue.
1440 (CVE-2014-3509)
1441 [Gabor Tyukasz]
1442
1443 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1444 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1445 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1446 Denial of Service attack.
1447
1448 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1449 discovering and researching this issue.
1450 (CVE-2014-5139)
1451 [Steve Henson]
1452
1453 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1454 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1455 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1456 output to the attacker.
1457
1458 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1459 (CVE-2014-3508)
1460 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1461
1462 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1463 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1464 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1465 [Bodo Moeller]
1466
1467 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1468
1469 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1470 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1471 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1472
1473 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1474 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1475 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1476
1477 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1478 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1479 in a DoS attack.
1480
1481 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1482 (CVE-2014-0221)
1483 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1484
1485 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1486 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1487 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1488 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1489
1490 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1491 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1492
1493 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1494 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1495
1496 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1497 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1498 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1499
1500 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1501 compilation flags.
1502 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1503
1504 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1505 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1506 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1507
1508 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1509 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1510
1511 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1512
1513 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1514 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1515 server.
1516
1517 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1518 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1519 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1520 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1521
1522 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1523 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1524 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1525 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1526
1527 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1528 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1529 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1530
1531 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1532
1533 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1534 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1535 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1536 is at least 512 bytes long.
1537
1538 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1539
1540 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1541
1542 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1543 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1544 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1545 (CVE-2013-4353)
1546
1547 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1548 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1549 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1550 [Steve Henson]
1551
1552 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1553 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1554 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1555 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1556 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1557 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1558 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1559
1560 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1561
1562 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1563 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1564 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1565
1566 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1567
1568 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1569
1570 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1571 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1572 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1573
1574 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1575 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1576 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1577 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1578 (CVE-2013-0169)
1579 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1580
1581 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1582 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1583 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1584 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1585 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1586 (CVE-2012-2686)
1587 [Adam Langley]
1588
1589 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1590 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1591 [Steve Henson]
1592
1593 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1594 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1595
1596 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1597 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1598 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1599 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1600 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1601
1602 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1603 [Steve Henson]
1604
1605 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1606 if renegotiating.
1607 [Steve Henson]
1608
1609 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1610
1611 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1612 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1613
1614 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1615 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1616 (CVE-2012-2333)
1617 [Steve Henson]
1618
1619 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1620 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1621 [Steve Henson]
1622
1623 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1624 approved.
1625 [Steve Henson]
1626
1627 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1628
1629 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1630 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1631 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1632 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1633 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1634 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1635 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1636 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1637 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1638 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1639 [Steve Henson]
1640
1641 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1642 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1643 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1644 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1645 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1646 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1647 client side.
1648 [Andy Polyakov]
1649
1650 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1651
1652 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1653 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1654 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1655
1656 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1657 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1658 (CVE-2012-2110)
1659 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1660
1661 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1662 [Adam Langley]
1663
1664 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1665 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1666
1667 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1668 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1669 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1670 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1671 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1672 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1673 Most broken servers should now work.
1674 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1675 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1676 [Steve Henson]
1677
1678 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1679 [Andy Polyakov]
1680
1681 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1682
1683 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1684 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1685 [Steve Henson]
1686
1687 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1688 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1689 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1690 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1691 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1692 [Steve Henson]
1693
1694 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1695 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1696 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
1697 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1698 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1699 [Steve Henson]
1700
1701 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1702 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1703
1704 *) Add support for SCTP.
1705 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1706
1707 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1708 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1709
1710 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1711
1712 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1713 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1714 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1715 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1716 - s390x: z196 support;
1717 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1718
1719 [Andy Polyakov]
1720
1721 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1722 (removal of unnecessary code)
1723 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1724
1725 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1726 [Eric Rescorla]
1727
1728 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1729 [Eric Rescorla]
1730
1731 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
1732 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
1733 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
1734 by Google.
1735 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1736
1737 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
1738 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
1739 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
1740 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
1741 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
1742
1743 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
1744 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
1745 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
1746
1747 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1748 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
1749 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
1750
1751 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
1752 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
1753 implementations).
1754 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1755
1756 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
1757 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
1758 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
1759 [Steve Henson]
1760
1761 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
1762 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
1763 particular PSS.
1764 [Steve Henson]
1765
1766 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
1767 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
1768 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
1769 [Steve Henson]
1770
1771 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
1772 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
1773 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
1774 the appropriate parameters.
1775 [Steve Henson]
1776
1777 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
1778 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
1779 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
1780 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
1781 against a number of sample certificates.
1782 [Steve Henson]
1783
1784 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
1785 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
1786
1787 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
1788 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
1789
1790 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
1791 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
1792 parameters r, s.
1793 [Steve Henson]
1794
1795 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
1796 RFC3211.
1797 [Steve Henson]
1798
1799 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
1800 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
1801 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
1802 password based CMS).
1803 [Steve Henson]
1804
1805 *) Session-handling fixes:
1806 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
1807 but also support Session Tickets.
1808 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
1809 presented a ticket with an expired session.
1810 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
1811 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
1812 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
1813 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1814
1815 *) Fix PSK session representation.
1816 [Bodo Moeller]
1817
1818 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
1819
1820 This work was sponsored by Intel.
1821 [Andy Polyakov]
1822
1823 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
1824 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
1825 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
1826 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
1827 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
1828 [Steve Henson]
1829
1830 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
1831 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
1832 [Steve Henson]
1833
1834 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
1835 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
1836 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
1837 [Steve Henson]
1838
1839 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
1840 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
1841 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
1842 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
1843 [Steve Henson]
1844
1845 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
1846 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
1847 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
1848 [Steve Henson]
1849
1850 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
1851 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
1852
1853 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
1854 [Steve Henson]
1855
1856 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
1857 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
1858 [Steve Henson]
1859
1860 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1861 [Steve Henson]
1862
1863 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
1864 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
1865 [Steve Henson]
1866
1867 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
1868 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
1869 [Steve Henson]
1870
1871 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
1872 [Steve Henson]
1873
1874 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
1875 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
1876 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
1877 [Steve Henson]
1878
1879 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1880 [Steve Henson]
1881
1882 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1883 [Steve Henson]
1884
1885 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
1886 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
1887 [Steve Henson]
1888
1889 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
1890 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
1891 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
1892 [Steve Henson]
1893
1894 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
1895 [Steve Henson]
1896
1897 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
1898 and enable MD5.
1899 [Steve Henson]
1900
1901 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
1902 FIPS modules versions.
1903 [Steve Henson]
1904
1905 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
1906 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
1907 until after the certificate request message is received.
1908 [Steve Henson]
1909
1910 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
1911 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
1912 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
1913 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
1914 [Steve Henson]
1915
1916 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
1917 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
1918 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
1919 support yet and no support for client certificates.
1920 [Steve Henson]
1921
1922 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
1923 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
1924 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
1925 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
1926 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
1927 and version checking.
1928 [Steve Henson]
1929
1930 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
1931 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
1932 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
1933 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
1934 [Steve Henson]
1935
1936 *) Add SRP support.
1937 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1938
1939 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
1940 [Steve Henson]
1941
1942 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
1943 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
1944 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1945
1946 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
1947 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
1948 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
1949 [Steve Henson]
1950
1951 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
1952 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
1953
1954 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
1955 a few changes are required:
1956
1957 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
1958 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
1959 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
1960 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
1961 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
1962 [Steve Henson]
1963
1964 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1965
1966 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1967 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1968 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1969 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1970 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1971 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1972 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1973 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1974 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1975 [Steve Henson]
1976
1977 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1978 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1979 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1980 [Steve Henson]
1981
1982 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1983
1984 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1985 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1986 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1987 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1988 [Antonio Martin]
1989
1990 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1991
1992 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1993 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1994 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1995 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1996 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1997 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1998 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1999 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2000 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2001 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2002 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2003 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2004 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2005
2006 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2007 (CVE-2011-4576)
2008 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2009
2010 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2011 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2012 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2013 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2014
2015 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2016 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]

2018 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2019 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2020 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2021 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2022
2023 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2024 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2025
2026 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2027 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2028
2029 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2030 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2031
2032 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2033 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2034 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2035
2036 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2037 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2038 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2039
2040 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2041 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2042 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2043 the last update always remained unused).
2044 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2045
2046 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2047 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2048
2049 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2050
2051 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2052 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2053 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2054
2055 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2056 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2057 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2058
2059 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2060 [Bodo Moeller]
2061
2062 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2063 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2064 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2065 [Steve Henson]
2066
2067 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2068 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2069
2070 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2071
2072 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2073
2074 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2075
2076 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2077 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2078
2079 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2080 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2081 ambiguous.
2082 [Steve Henson]
2083
2084 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2085
2086 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2087 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2088 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2089 [Steve Henson]
2090
2091 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2092 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2093 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2094 [Ben Laurie]
2095
2096 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2097
2098 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2099 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2100 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2101 [Steve Henson]
2102
2103 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2104 a DLL.
2105 [Steve Henson]
2106
2107 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2108
2109 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2110 (CVE-2010-1633)
2111 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2112
2113 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2114
2115 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2116 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2117 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2118 [Steve Henson]
2119
2120 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2121 [Steve Henson]
2122
2123 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2124 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2125 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2126
2127 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2128 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2129 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2130 [Steve Henson]
2131
2132 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2133 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2134 [Steve Henson]
2135
2136 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2137 some responders need this.
2138 [Steve Henson]
2139
2140 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2141 correctly.
2142 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2143
2144 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2145 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2146 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2147 [Steve Henson]
2148
2149 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2150 [Steve Henson]
2151
2152 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2153 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2154 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2155 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2156 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2157 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2158 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2159 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2160 [Steve Henson]
2161
2162 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2163 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2164 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2165 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2166
2167 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2168 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2169
2170 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2171 be used on C++.
2172 [Steve Henson]
2173
2174 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2175 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2176 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2177 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2178 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2179 attempting to work them out.
2180 [Steve Henson]
2181
2182 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2183 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2184 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2185 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2186 [Steve Henson]
2187
2188 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2189 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2190 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2191 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2192 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2193 [Steve Henson]
2194
2195 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2196 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2197 you can do:
2198
2199 openssl sha256 foo
2200
2201 as well as:
2202
2203 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2204
2205 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2206
2207 [Steve Henson]
2208
2209 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2210 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2211
2212 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2213 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2214
2215 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2216 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2217 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2218 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2219 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2220 [Steve Henson]
2221
2222 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2223 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2224 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2225 [Steve Henson]
2226
2227 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2228 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2229 [Steve Henson]
2230
2231 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2232 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2233
2234 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2235 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2236 [Steve Henson]
2237
2238 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2239 [Ben Laurie]
2240
2241 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2242 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2243 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2244 CONF_VALUE.
2245 [Ben Laurie]
2246
2247 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2248 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2249 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2250 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2251 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2252 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2253 [Steve Henson]
2254
2255 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2256 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2257
2258 This work was sponsored by Google.
2259 [Steve Henson]
2260
2261 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2262 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2263 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2264 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2265 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2266 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2267 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2268 default.
2269
2270 This work was sponsored by Google.
2271 [Steve Henson]
2272
2273 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2274
2275 This work was sponsored by Google.
2276 [Steve Henson]
2277
2278 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2279 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2280 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2281 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2282
2283 This work was sponsored by Google.
2284 [Steve Henson]
2285
2286 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2287 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2288 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2289 CRL functionality in future.
2290
2291 This work was sponsored by Google.
2292 [Steve Henson]
2293
2294 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2295
2296 This work was sponsored by Google.
2297 [Steve Henson]
2298
2299 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2300 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2301
2302 This work was sponsored by Google.
2303 [Steve Henson]
2304
2305 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2306 and URI types are currently supported.
2307
2308 This work was sponsored by Google.
2309 [Steve Henson]
2310
2311 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2312 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2313 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2314 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2315 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2316 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2317 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2318 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2319
2320 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2321 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2322 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2323
2324 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2325 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2326 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2327 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2328
2329 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2330 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2331 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2332 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2333 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2334 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2335 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2336 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2337 of &errno.)
2338 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2339
2340 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2341 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2342 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2343
2344 This work was sponsored by Google.
2345 [Steve Henson]
2346
2347 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2348 [Ben Laurie]
2349
2350 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2351 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2352 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2353 [Ben Laurie]
2354
2355 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2356 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2357 [Nick Mathewson]
2358
2359 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2360 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2361 [Ben Laurie]
2362
2363 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2364 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2365 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2366 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2367 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2368 content types and variants.
2369 [Steve Henson]
2370
2371 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2372 [Steve Henson]
2373
2374 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2375 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2376 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2377 files from the associated perl scripts.
2378 [Steve Henson]
2379
2380 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2381 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2382 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2383
2384 *) s390x assembler pack.
2385 [Andy Polyakov]
2386
2387 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2388 "family."
2389 [Andy Polyakov]
2390
2391 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2392 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2393 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2394 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2395 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2396 to use. For example, specify an option
2397
2398 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2399
2400 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2401 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2402 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2403 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2404 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2405 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2406
2407 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2408 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2409 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2410 return non-zero for success.
2411
2412 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2413 by using
2414
2415 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2416 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2417
2418 where
2419
2420 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2421 void *arg;
2422
2423 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2424 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2425 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2426 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2427 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2428 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2429 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2430 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2431 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2432
2433 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2434 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2435 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2436 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2437 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2438 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2439
2440 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2441 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2442 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2443 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2444 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2445 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2446
2447 [Bodo Moeller]
2448
2449 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2450 MAC.
2451
2452 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2453
2454 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2455 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2456 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2457 supported.
2458
2459 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2460 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2461 SSL_SESSION.
2462
2463 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2464 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2465 with no application modification.
2466
2467 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2468 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2469
2470 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2471 or server extensions to be examined.
2472
2473 This work was sponsored by Google.
2474 [Steve Henson]
2475
2476 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2477 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2478 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2479
2480 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2481 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2482 ciphersuite support.
2483 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2484
2485 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2486 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2487 to output in BER and PEM format.
2488 [Steve Henson]
2489
2490 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2491 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2492 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2493 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2494 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2495 [Steve Henson]
2496
2497 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2498 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2499 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2500 utility.
2501 [Steve Henson]
2502
2503 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2504 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2505 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2506 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2507 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2508 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2509 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2510 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2511 enabled again.
2512
2513 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2514 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2515 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2516 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2517
2518 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2519 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2520 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2521 the default order.
2522 [Bodo Moeller]
2523
2524 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2525 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2526 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2527 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2528 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2529 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2530 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2531 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2532 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2533
2534 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2535 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2536 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2537 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2538 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2539 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2540 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2541 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2542 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2543 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2544 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2545 kinds of kludges.
2546
2547 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2548 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2549 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2550
2551 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2552 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2553 "CAMELLIA256".
2554 [Bodo Moeller]
2555
2556 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2557 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2558 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2559 [Nils Larsch]
2560
2561 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2562 it yet and it is largely untested.
2563 [Steve Henson]
2564
2565 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2566 [Nils Larsch]
2567
2568 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2569 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2570 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2571 [Steve Henson]
2572
2573 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2574 [Andy Polyakov]
2575
2576 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2577 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2578 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2579 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2580 [Steve Henson]
2581
2582 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2583 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2584 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2585 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2586 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2587 [Steve Henson]
2588
2589 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2590 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2591 [Cryptocom]
2592
2593 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2594 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2595 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2596 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2597 [Steve Henson]
2598
2599 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2600 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2601 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2602 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2603 [Steve Henson]
2604
2605 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2606 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2607 [Steve Henson]
2608
2609 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2610 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2611 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2612 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2613 [Steve Henson]
2614
2615 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2616 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2617 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2618 [Steve Henson]
2619
2620 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2621 utility.
2622 [Steve Henson]
2623
2624 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2625 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2626 [Steve Henson]
2627
2628 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2629 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2630 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2631 if necessary.
2632 [Steve Henson]
2633
2634 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2635 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2636 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2637 [Steve Henson]
2638
2639 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2640 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2641 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2642 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2643 [Steve Henson]
2644
2645 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2646 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2647 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2648 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2649 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2650 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2651 [Douglas Stebila]
2652
2653 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2654 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2655 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2656 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2657 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2658
2659 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2660 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2661 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2662 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2663 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2664 protocol).
2665
2666 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2667 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2668 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2669 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2670
2671 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2672 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2673 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2674 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2675 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2676
2677 aECDH - ECDH cert
2678 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
2679 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
2680
2681 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2682 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2683
2684 [Bodo Moeller]
2685
2686 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2687 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2688 [Steve Henson]
2689
2690 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2691 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2692 [Steve Henson]
2693
2694 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2695 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2696 functional reference processing.
2697 [Steve Henson]
2698
2699 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2700 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2701 process.
2702 [Steve Henson]
2703
2704 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2705 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2706 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2707 [Steve Henson]
2708
2709 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2710 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2711 application to support multiple signers.
2712 [Steve Henson]
2713
2714 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2715 digest MAC.
2716 [Steve Henson]
2717
2718 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2719 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2720 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2721 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2722 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2723 [Steve Henson]
2724
2725 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2726 new API.
2727 [Steve Henson]
2728
2729 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2730 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2731 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
2732 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
2733 a no op.
2734 [Steve Henson]
2735
2736 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
2737 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
2738 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
2739 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
2740 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
2741 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
2742 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
2743 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
2744 [Steve Henson]
2745
2746 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
2747 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
2748 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
2749 between digests and public key types.
2750 [Steve Henson]
2751
2752 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
2753 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
2754 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
2755 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
2756 [Steve Henson]
2757
2758 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
2759 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
2760 key ASN1 method.
2761 [Steve Henson]
2762
2763 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
2764 [Steve Henson]
2765
2766 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
2767 pkeyutl.
2768 [Steve Henson]
2769
2770 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
2771 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
2772 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
2773 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
2774 pkey, genpkey.
2775 [Steve Henson]
2776
2777 *) BeOS support.
2778 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2779
2780 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
2781 manual pages.
2782 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2783
2784 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
2785 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
2786 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
2787 functionality for RSA.
2788 [Steve Henson]
2789
2790 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
2791 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
2792 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
2793 [Steve Henson]
2794
2795 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
2796 key API, doesn't do much yet.
2797 [Steve Henson]
2798
2799 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
2800 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
2801 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
2802 [Steve Henson]
2803
2804 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
2805 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2806 [Douglas Stebila]
2807
2808 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
2809 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2810 [Steve Henson]
2811
2812 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2813 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2814 type.
2815 [Steve Henson]
2816
2817 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2818 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2819 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2820 structure.
2821 [Steve Henson]
2822
2823 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2824 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2825 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2826 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2827 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2828 of public and private key structures.
2829 [Steve Henson]
2830
2831 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2832 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2833 [Douglas Stebila]
2834
2835 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2836 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2837 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2838
2839 New ciphersuites:
2840 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
2841 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
2842
2843 New functions:
2844 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
2845 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
2846 SSL_get_psk_identity
2847 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
2848
2849 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
2850
2851 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
2852 and response verification functionality.
2853 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
2854
2855 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2856 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2857 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2858 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2859 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2860 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2861 server_name extension.
2862
2863 New functions (subject to change):
2864
2865 SSL_get_servername()
2866 SSL_get_servername_type()
2867 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
2868
2869 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2870
2871 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2872 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2873 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2874 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2875 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2876
2877 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2878
2879 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2880 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2881 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2882 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2883 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2884 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2885 option.
2886
2887 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
2888
2889 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
2890 [Andy Polyakov]
2891
2892 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
2893 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
2894 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
2895 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
2896 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
2897 [Andy Polyakov]
2898
2899 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
2900 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
2901 macro.
2902 [Bodo Moeller]
2903
2904 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
2905 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
2906 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
2907 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
2908 [Andy Polyakov]
2909
2910 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
2911 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
2912 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
2913 using the maximum available value.
2914 [Steve Henson]
2915
2916 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
2917 in addition to the text details.
2918 [Bodo Moeller]
2919
2920 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
2921 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
2922 handle several customised structures at all.
2923 [Steve Henson]
2924
2925 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
2926 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
2927 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
2928 [Steve Henson]
2929
2930 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
2931 [Steve Henson]
2932
2933 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
2934 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
2935 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
2936 [Steve Henson]
2937
2938 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
2939 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
2940 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
2941 [Nils Larsch]
2942
2943 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
2944 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
2945 all fields.
2946 [Steve Henson]
2947
2948 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
2949 [Steve Henson]
2950
2951 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2952 [NTT]
2953
2954 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2955
2956 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2957 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2958 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2959 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2960 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2961 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2962 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2963 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2964
2965 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2966 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2967 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2968
2969 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2970
2971 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2972 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2973
2974 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2975 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2976 [Bodo Moeller]
2977
2978 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2979 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2980 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2981 [Steve Henson]
2982
2983 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2984 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2985 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2986 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2987 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2988 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2989 [Steve Henson]
2990
2991 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2992 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2993 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2994 [Steve Henson]
2995
2996 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2997 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2998 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2999 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3000 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3001 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3002 CVE-2009-4355.
3003 [Steve Henson]
3004
3005 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3006 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3007 [Bodo Moeller]
3008
3009 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3010 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3011 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3012 [Steve Henson]
3013
3014 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3015 [Steve Henson]
3016
3017 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3018 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3019 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3020 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3021 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3022 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3023 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3024 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3025 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3026 [Steve Henson]
3027
3028 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3029 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3030 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3031 [Steve Henson]
3032
3033 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3034 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3035 [Steve Henson]
3036
3037 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3038 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3039 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3040 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3041 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3042 know what you are doing.
3043 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3044
3045 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3046 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3047 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3048 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3049 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3050 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3051 the handshake.
3052 [Steve Henson]
3053
3054 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3055 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3056 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3057 correctly.
3058 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3059
3060 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3061 warnings in other configurations.
3062 [Steve Henson]
3063
3064 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3065 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3066 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3067 systems need.
3068 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3069
3070 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3071 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3072 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3073
3074 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3075 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3076 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3077 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3078 [Steve Henson]
3079
3080 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3081 and restored.
3082 [Steve Henson]
3083
3084 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3085 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3086 clash.
3087 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3088
3089 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3090 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3091 other than a simple chain.
3092 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3093
3094 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3095 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3096 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3097 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3098 [Steve Henson]
3099
3100 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3101 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3102 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3103 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3104 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3105 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3106 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3107 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3108 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3109
3110 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3111 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3112 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3113 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3114 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
3115 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3116 (CVE-2009-1377)
3117 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3118
3119 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3120 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3121 [Daniel Mentz]
3122
3123 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3124 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3125
3126 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
3127 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3128
3129 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3130
3131 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3132 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3133 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3134 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3135 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3136 you're doing.
3137 [Ben Laurie]
3138
3139 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3140
3141 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3142 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3143 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3144 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3145
3146 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3147 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3148 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3149 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3150
3151 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3152 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3153 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3154 [Steve Henson]
3155
3156 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3157 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3158 level.
3159 [Steve Henson]
3160
3161 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3162 to handle some structures.
3163 [Steve Henson]
3164
3165 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3166 for a '\n'
3167 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3168
3169 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3170 [Matthieu Herrb]
3171
3172 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3173 [Steve Henson]
3174
3175 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3176 [Steve Henson]
3177
3178 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3179 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3180 chosen compiler.
3181 [Ben Laurie]
3182
3183 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3184
3185 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3186 (CVE-2008-5077).
3187 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3188
3189 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3190 [Ben Laurie]
3191
3192 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3193 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3194 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3195 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3196
3197 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3198 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3199
3200 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3201 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3202 [Bodo Moeller]
3203
3204 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3205 s_client and s_server.
3206 [Ben Laurie]
3207
3208 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3209 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3210
3211 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3212 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3213
3214 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3215 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3216 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3217 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3218 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3219 [Bodo Moeller]
3220
3221 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3222
3223 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3224 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3225 [PR #1679]
3226
3227 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3228 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3229 [Nagendra Modadugu]
3230
3231 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3232 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3233 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3234 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3235
3236 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3237 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3238
3239 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3240
3241 *) Various precautionary measures:
3242
3243 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3244
3245 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3246 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3247 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3248
3249 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3250 outside the expected range.
3251
3252 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3253 builds.
3254
3255 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3256
3257 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3258 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3259 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3260
3261 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3262 [Steve Henson]
3263
3264 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3265 [Huang Ying]
3266
3267 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3268
3269 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3270 [Steve Henson]
3271
3272 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3273 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3274 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3275
3276 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3277 [Steve Henson]
3278
3279 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3280 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3281 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3282 files.
3283 [Steve Henson]
3284
3285 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3286
3287 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3288 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3289 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3290 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3291
3292 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3293 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3294 [Joe Orton]
3295
3296 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3297
3298 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3299 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3300 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3301
3302 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3303
3304 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3305 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3306 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3307 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3308 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3309
3310 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3311 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3312 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3313 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3314 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3315 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3316 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3317
3318 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3319
3320 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3321 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3322 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3323 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3324 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3325
3326 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3327 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3328
3329 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3330 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3331 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3332 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3333 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3334
3335 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3336
3337 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3338 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3339 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3340 sets may exist with different names.
3341 [Steve Henson]
3342
3343 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3344 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3345 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3346 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3347 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3348 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3349 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3350 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3351 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3352 implementation.
3353 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3354
3355 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3356 implemention in the following ways:
3357
3358 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3359 hard coded.
3360
3361 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3362 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3363 ignored for embedded content.
3364
3365 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3366 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3367 [Steve Henson]
3368
3369 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3370 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3371 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3372 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3373
3374 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3375 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3376 [Steve Henson]
3377
3378 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3379 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3380 [Steve Henson]
3381
3382 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3383 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3384 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3385 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3386 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3387 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3388 data.
3389 [Steve Henson]
3390
3391 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3392 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3393 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3394
3395 *) Netware support:
3396
3397 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3398 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3399 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3400 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3401 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3402 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3403 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3404 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3405 platform
3406 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3407 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3408 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3409 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3410 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3411 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3412 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3413
3414 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3415 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3416 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3417 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3418 to s_client and s_server.
3419 [Steve Henson]
3420
3421 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3422
3423 *) Fix various bugs:
3424 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3425 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3426 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3427 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3428 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3429
3430 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3431
3432 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
3433 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
3434 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
3435 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
3436 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
3437 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
3438 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
3439 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
3440 [Andy Polyakov]
3441
3442 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
3443 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
3444 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
3445 Steve Henson]
3446
3447 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3448 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3449 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3450 supported.
3451
3452 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3453 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3454 SSL_SESSION.
3455
3456 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3457 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3458 with no application modification.
3459
3460 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3461 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3462
3463 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3464 or server extensions to be examined.
3465
3466 This work was sponsored by Google.
3467 [Steve Henson]
3468
3469 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3470 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3471 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3472 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3473 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3474 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3475 server_name extension.
3476
3477 New functions (subject to change):
3478
3479 SSL_get_servername()
3480 SSL_get_servername_type()
3481 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3482
3483 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3484
3485 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3486 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3487 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3488 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3489 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3490
3491 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3492
3493 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3494 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3495 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3496 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3497 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
3498 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3499 option.
3500
3501 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
3502
3503 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
3504 [Steve Henson]
3505
3506 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
3507 [Andy Polyakov]
3508
3509 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
3510 (which previously caused an internal error).
3511 [Bodo Moeller]
3512
3513 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
3514 [Ben Laurie]
3515
3516 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
3517 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
3518
3519 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3520 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3521 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3522
3523 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3524 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
3525 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
3526 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
3527
3528 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3529 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3530 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
3531 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
3532
3533 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
3534 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
3535 information. For detailed background information, see
3536 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
3537 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
3538 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
3539 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
3540 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
3541 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
3542 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
3543 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
3544 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
3545 remove a conditional branch.
3546
3547 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
3548 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
3549 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3550 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3551 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3552 remains as a deprecated alias.
3553
3554 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3555 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3556 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3557 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3558
3559 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3560 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3561 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3562 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3563 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3564 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3565 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3566 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3567
3568 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3569
3570 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3571 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3572 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3573 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3574 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3575 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3576 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3577 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3578 in a different context.
3579 [Bodo Moeller]
3580
3581 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3582 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3583 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3584 [Bodo Moeller]
3585
3586 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3587 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3588 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3589
3590 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3591
3592 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3593 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3594 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3595 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3596 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3597 [Victor Duchovni]
3598
3599 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3600 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3601 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3602 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3603 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3604 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3605 [Bodo Moeller]
3606
3607 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3608 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3609 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3610 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3611 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3612 [Bodo Moeller]
3613
3614 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3615 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3616
3617 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3618 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3619 Improve header file function name parsing.
3620 [Steve Henson]
3621
3622 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3623 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3624 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
3625
3626 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3627
3628 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3629 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3630 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3631
3632 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3633 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3634
3635 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3636 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3637
3638 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3639 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3640 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3641
3642 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3643 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3644 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3645 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3646 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3647 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3648 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3649 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3650 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3651
3652 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3653 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3654 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3655 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3656 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3657
3658 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3659 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3660 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3661 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3662 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3663 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3664 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3665 multiple values to extend the available space.
3666
3667 [Bodo Moeller]
3668
3669 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3670
3671 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3672 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3673
3674 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3675 [Ben Laurie]
3676
3677 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3678 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3679 undesirable limitations.
3680 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3681
3682 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3683 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3684 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3685 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3686 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3687 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3688 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3689 [Bodo Moeller]
3690
3691 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3692
3693 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3694 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3695 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3696
3697 The latter two were purportedly from
3698 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3699 appear there.
3700
3701 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3702 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3703 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3704 [Bodo Moeller]
3705
3706 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3707 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3708 [Bodo Moeller]
3709
3710 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3711 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3712 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3713 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3714
3715 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3716 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3717 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3718 [NTT]
3719
3720 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3721 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3722 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3723 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3724 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3725 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3726 [Steve Henson]
3727
3728 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3729
3730 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3731 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3732 [Steve Henson]
3733
3734 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3735 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3736
3737 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3738 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3739 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3740 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3741 [Douglas Stebila]
3742
3743 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3744 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3745 [Steve Henson]
3746
3747 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3748 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3749 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3750 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3751 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3752 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3753 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3754 can't be loaded.
3755 [Steve Henson]
3756
3757 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3758 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3759 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3760 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3761 [Steve Henson]
3762
3763 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3764 under VC++ build system.
3765 [Steve Henson]
3766
3767 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3768 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3769 [Richard Levitte]
3770
3771 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3772
3773 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3774 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3775 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3776 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3777 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3778
3779 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3780 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3781 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3782
3783 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3784 [Steve Henson]
3785
3786 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3787 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3788 [Nils Larsch]
3789
3790 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3791 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3792
3793 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3794 [Nick Mathewson]
3795
3796 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3797 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3798
3799 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3800 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3801 [Steve Henson]
3802
3803 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3804 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3805 smime utility.
3806 [Steve Henson]
3807
3808 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3809
3810 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3811 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
3812
3813 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3814 [Richard Levitte]
3815
3816 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3817 key into the same file any more.
3818 [Richard Levitte]
3819
3820 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3821 [Andy Polyakov]
3822
3823 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3824 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3825
3826 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3827 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3828 [Richard Levitte]
3829
3830 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3831 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3832 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3833 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3834 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3835 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3836
3837 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3838 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3839 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3840 [Steve Henson]
3841
3842 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3843 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3844 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3845 - add new function for parameter creation
3846 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3847 BN_BLINDING parameters
3848 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3849 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3850 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3851 threads.
3852 [Nils Larsch]
3853
3854 *) Add support for DTLS.
3855 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3856
3857 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3858 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3859 [Walter Goulet]
3860
3861 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
3862 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3863 [Nils Larsch]
3864
3865 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3866 the apps/openssl applications.
3867 [Nils Larsch]
3868
3869 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3870 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3871 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3872 [Ben Laurie]
3873
3874 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3875 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3876
3877 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3878 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3879
3880 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3881 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3882 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3883 avoid this algorithm.)
3884
3885 [Bodo Moeller]
3886
3887 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3888 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3889 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3890 [Richard Levitte]
3891
3892 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3893 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3894 [Andy Polyakov]
3895
3896 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3897 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3898 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3899 pod file:
3900
3901 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3902
3903 The blank line is mandatory.
3904
3905 [Steve Henson]
3906
3907 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3908 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3909 sources.
3910 [Steve Henson]
3911
3912 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3913 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3914
3915 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3916 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3917 to support policy checking and print out.
3918 [Steve Henson]
3919
3920 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3921 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3922 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3923 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3924
3925 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3926 [Geoff Thorpe]
3927
3928 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3929 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3930
3931 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3932 implementation contributed by IBM.
3933 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3934
3935 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3936 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3937 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3938 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3939
3940 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3941 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3942
3943 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3944 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3945 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3946 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3947 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3948 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3949 [Steve Henson]
3950
3951 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3952 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3953 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3954 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3955 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3956 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3957 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3958 [Geoff Thorpe]
3959
3960 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3961 [Steve Henson]
3962
3963 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3964 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3965 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3966 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3967 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3968 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3969 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3970 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3971 [Steve Henson]
3972
3973 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3974 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3975 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3976 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3977 [Steve Henson]
3978
3979 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3980 syntax:
3981
3982 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3983 [Steve Henson]
3984
3985 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3986 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3987 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3988 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3989 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3990 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3991 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3992 [Geoff Thorpe]
3993
3994 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3995 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3996 [Geoff Thorpe]
3997
3998 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3999 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4000 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4001 [Steve Henson]
4002
4003 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4004 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4005 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4006 below).
4007 [Geoff Thorpe]
4008
4009 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4010 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4011 [Richard Levitte]
4012
4013 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4014 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4015 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4016 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4017 [Geoff Thorpe]
4018
4019 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4020 initialised value as BN_new().
4021 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4022
4023 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4024 [Steve Henson]
4025
4026 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4027 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4028 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4029 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4030 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4031 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4032 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4033 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4034 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4035 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4036 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4037 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4038 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4039 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4040 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4041
4042 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4043 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4044 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4045 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4046 [Geoff Thorpe]
4047
4048 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4049 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4050 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4051 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4052 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4053 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4054 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4055 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4056 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4057 [Geoff Thorpe]
4058
4059 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4060 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4061 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4062 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4063 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4064 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4065 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4066 [Geoff Thorpe]
4067
4068 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4069 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4070 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4071 these have been updated also.
4072 [Geoff Thorpe]
4073
4074 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4075 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4076 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4077 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4078 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4079 functions.
4080 [Steve Henson]
4081
4082 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4083 structure of type "other".
4084 [Steve Henson]
4085
4086 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4087 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4088 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4089 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4090 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4091 situation in the script.
4092 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4093
4094 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4095 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4096 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4097 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4098 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4099 used as premaster secret.
4100 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4101
4102 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4103 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4104 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4105
4106 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4107 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4108
4109 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4110 control of the error stack.
4111 [Richard Levitte]
4112
4113 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4114 [Richard Levitte]
4115
4116 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4117 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4118 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4119 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4120 [Richard Levitte]
4121
4122 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4123 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4124 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4125 [Richard Levitte]
4126
4127 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4128 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4129 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4130 a memory area.
4131 [Richard Levitte]
4132
4133 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4134 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4135 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4136 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4137 [Richard Levitte]
4138
4139 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4140 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4141 the following flags are defined:
4142
4143 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4144 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4145 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4146 number.
4147
4148 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4149 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4150 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4151 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4152 returns zero.
4153 [Richard Levitte]
4154
4155 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4156 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4157 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4158 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4159 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4160 [Richard Levitte]
4161
4162 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4163 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4164 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4165 [Richard Levitte]
4166
4167 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4168 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4169 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4170 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4171 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4172 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4173 [Richard Levitte]
4174
4175 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4176 req and dirName.
4177 [Steve Henson]
4178
4179 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4180 [Steve Henson]
4181
4182 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4183 [Steve Henson]
4184
4185 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4186 [Steve Henson]
4187
4188 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4189 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4190 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4191 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4192 default implementation more easily.
4193 [Geoff Thorpe]
4194
4195 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4196 in config files.
4197 [Steve Henson]
4198
4199 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4200 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4201 [Richard Levitte]
4202
4203 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4204 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4205 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4206 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4207
4208 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4209 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4210 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4211 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4212 [Steve Henson]
4213
4214 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4215 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4216 to do it.
4217 [Richard Levitte]
4218
4219 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4220 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
4221 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
4222 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
4223 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
4224 scalar * generator).
4225 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
4226
4227 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
4228 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
4229 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
4230 correctly.
4231 [Steve Henson]
4232
4233 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
4234 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
4235 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
4236 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
4237 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
4238 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
4239 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
4240 linker additions, eg;
4241 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
4242 [Geoff Thorpe]
4243
4244 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
4245 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
4246 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
4247 [Geoff Thorpe]
4248
4249 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4250 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4251 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
4252 via PR#459)
4253 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4254
4255 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
4256 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
4257 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
4258 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
4259 [Geoff Thorpe]
4260
4261 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
4262 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
4263 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
4264 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
4265 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
4266 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
4267 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
4268 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
4269 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
4270 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
4271
4272 Example for using the new callback interface:
4273
4274 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
4275 void *my_arg = ...;
4276 BN_GENCB my_cb;
4277
4278 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
4279
4280 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
4281 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
4282 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
4283 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
4284 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
4285 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
4286 */
4287
4288 [Geoff Thorpe]
4289
4290 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
4291 available to TLS with the number defined in
4292 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
4293 [Richard Levitte]
4294
4295 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
4296 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
4297
4298 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
4299 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4300 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4301 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
4302
4303 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
4304 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
4305
4306 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
4307 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
4308 well.
4309 [Richard Levitte]
4310
4311 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
4312 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
4313 [Richard Levitte]
4314
4315 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
4316 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
4317 and a macro that behave like
4318 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
4319
4320 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
4321 [Nils Larsch]
4322
4323 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
4324 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
4325 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
4326 if applicable.
4327 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4328
4329 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
4330 [Bodo Moeller]
4331
4332 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
4333 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
4334 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
4335 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
4336 directory engines/.
4337 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
4338 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
4339 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
4340 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
4341 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
4342 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
4343 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
4344 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
4345
4346 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
4347 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
4348 [Richard Levitte]
4349
4350 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
4351 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
4352
4353 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
4354 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
4355 files while avoiding the low level API.
4356
4357 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
4358 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
4359 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
4360 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
4361
4362 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
4363 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
4364 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
4365 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
4366 instead of the low level API.
4367 [Steve Henson]
4368
4369 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
4370 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
4371 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
4372 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
4373 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
4374 PKCS#7 code.
4375
4376 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
4377 down to the template encoder.
4378 [Steve Henson]
4379
4380 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
4381 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
4382 [Bodo Moeller]
4383
4384 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
4385 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
4386 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
4387 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4388
4389 *) Add ECDH engine support.
4390 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4391
4392 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
4393 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4394
4395 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
4396 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
4397 [Bodo Moeller]
4398
4399 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
4400 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
4401 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
4402 [Bodo Moeller]
4403
4404 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
4405 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
4406
4407 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4408 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4409
4410 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
4411 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
4412 New EC_METHOD:
4413
4414 EC_GF2m_simple_method
4415
4416 New API functions:
4417
4418 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
4419 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
4420 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
4421 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4422 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4423 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
4424
4425 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
4426 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
4427 enable it).
4428
4429 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
4430 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
4431 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
4432 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
4433 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
4434 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
4435 various internal method names.)
4436
4437 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
4438 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
4439
4440 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4441 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4442
4443 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
4444 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
4445
4446 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
4447 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
4448 methods are undefined.
4449
4450 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4451 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4452
4453 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
4454 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
4455 length of the modulus.
4456
4457 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4458 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4459
4460 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
4461 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
4462
4463 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4464 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4465
4466 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
4467 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
4468 used) in the following functions [macros]:
4469
4470 BN_GF2m_add
4471 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
4472 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
4473 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
4474 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
4475 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
4476 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
4477 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
4478 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
4479 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
4480
4481 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
4482 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
4483
4484 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
4485 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
4486 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
4487 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
4488 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
4489 where
4490 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
4491 This applies to the following functions:
4492
4493 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
4494 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
4495 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
4496 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
4497 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
4498 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
4499 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
4500 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
4501 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
4502 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
4503
4504 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
4505
4506 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
4507 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
4508
4509 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
4510
4511 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
4512 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
4513 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
4514 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
4515 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
4516
4517 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4518 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4519
4520 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
4521 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
4522 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
4523
4524 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
4525 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
4526
4527 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
4528 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
4529 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
4530 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
4531 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4532
4533 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
4534 functions
4535 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
4536 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
4537 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
4538 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
4539 These control ASN1 encoding details:
4540 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
4541 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
4542 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
4543 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
4544 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
4545 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
4546 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
4547
4548 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
4549 functions
4550 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
4551 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
4552 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
4553 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
4554 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4555
4556 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
4557 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
4558 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
4559 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4560
4561 *) Add functions
4562 EC_POINT_point2bn()
4563 EC_POINT_bn2point()
4564 EC_POINT_point2hex()
4565 EC_POINT_hex2point()
4566 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
4567 EC_POINT_oct2point().
4568 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4569
4570 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
4571 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
4572 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
4573 EC_GROUP_get_order()
4574 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
4575 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
4576 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
4577 adding different types of curves.
4578 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
4579
4580 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
4581 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
4582 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
4583 [Bodo Moeller]
4584
4585 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
4586 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
4587
4588 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
4589 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
4590 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
4591 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4592
4593 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
4594
4595 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
4596 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
4597
4598 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
4599 library. Most notably,
4600 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
4601 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
4602 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
4603 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
4604 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
4605 extracted before the specific public key;
4606 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
4607 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4608
4609 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
4610 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
4611 function
4612 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
4613 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
4614 EC_get_builtin_curves().
4615 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
4616 accessed via
4617 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
4618 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
4619 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
4620
4621 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4622 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4623 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4624 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4625 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4626 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4627 differing sizes.
4628 [Richard Levitte]
4629
4630 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
4631
4632 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
4633 sensitive data.
4634 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
4635
4636 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4637 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4638 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4639 [Bodo Moeller]
4640
4641 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
4642 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4643 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
4644 [Victor Duchovni]
4645
4646 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
4647 [Steve Henson]
4648
4649 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
4650 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
4651 [Steve Henson]
4652
4653 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
4654 run algorithm test programs.
4655 [Steve Henson]
4656
4657 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
4658 [Steve Henson]
4659
4660 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4661 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4662 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4663 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4664 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4665 [Bodo Moeller]
4666
4667 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4668 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4669 [Steve Henson]
4670
4671 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
4672
4673 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4674 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4675 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4676
4677 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4678 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4679
4680 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4681 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4682
4683 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4684 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4685 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4686
4687 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
4688 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
4689 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
4690 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
4691 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
4692 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
4693 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
4694 [Bodo Moeller]
4695
4696 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
4697
4698 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4699 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4700
4701 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4702 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4703 undesirable limitations.
4704 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4705
4706 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4707
4708 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4709 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4710 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4711
4712 The latter two were purportedly from
4713 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4714 appear there.
4715
4716 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4717 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4718 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4719 [Bodo Moeller]
4720
4721 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4722 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4723 [Bodo Moeller]
4724
4725 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4726
4727 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4728 module in FIPS mode.
4729 [Steve Henson]
4730
4731 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
4732 [Steve Henson]
4733
4734 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
4735 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
4736 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
4737 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
4738 [Steve Henson]
4739
4740 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
4741
4742 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4743 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4744 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4745 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4746 the difference induced by this change.
4747 [Andy Polyakov]
4748
4749 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4750
4751 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4752 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4753 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4754 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4755 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4756
4757 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4758 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4759 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4760
4761 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4762 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4763 [Steve Henson]
4764
4765 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4766 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4767 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4768 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
4769 biased k.)
4770 [Bodo Moeller]
4771
4772 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
4773 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
4774 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
4775 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
4776 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
4777
4778 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
4779 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
4780 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
4781 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
4782 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
4783 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
4784
4785 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
4786
4787 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
4788 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
4789 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
4790 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
4791 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
4792 [Bodo Moeller]
4793
4794 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
4795 clients need.
4796 [Steve Henson]
4797
4798 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
4799 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
4800 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
4801 [Steve Henson]
4802
4803 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
4804 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
4805 structures constant.
4806 [Steve Henson]
4807
4808 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4809
4810 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4811 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4812
4813 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4814 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4815 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4816 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4817 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4818 some needed definitions.
4819 [Steve Henson]
4820
4821 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4822 [Ulf Möller]
4823
4824 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4825 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4826 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4827 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4828 [Richard Levitte]
4829
4830 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4831
4832 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4833 server and client random values. Previously
4834 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4835 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4836
4837 This change has negligible security impact because:
4838
4839 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4840 data.
4841
4842 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
4843 handshake.
4844
4845 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
4846 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
4847 values.
4848
4849 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
4850 to our attention.
4851
4852 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
4853
4854 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
4855 [Ulf Möller]
4856
4857 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
4858 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
4859 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
4860
4861 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
4862 [Steve Henson]
4863
4864 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
4865 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
4866 [Andy Polyakov]
4867
4868 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
4869 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
4870 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
4871
4872 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
4873 [Steve Henson]
4874
4875 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
4876 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
4877 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
4878 certificates.
4879 [Steve Henson]
4880
4881 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
4882 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
4883 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
4884 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
4885
4886 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
4887 has chosen to ignore this fault)
4888 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
4889 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
4890 been given)
4891 [Richard Levitte]
4892
4893 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
4894
4895 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
4896 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
4897 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
4898 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
4899 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
4900 [Steve Henson]
4901
4902 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
4903 [Steve Henson]
4904
4905 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
4906 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4907
4908 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4909 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4910 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4911 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4912 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4913 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4914 rather than being initialized to 1.
4915 [Steve Henson]
4916
4917 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4918
4919 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4920 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4921 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4922
4923 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4924 (CVE-2004-0112)
4925 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4926
4927 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4928 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4929 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4930 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4931 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4932 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4933 [Richard Levitte]
4934
4935 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4936 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4937 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4938 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4939 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4940 for these cases.
4941 [Steve Henson]
4942
4943 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4944 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4945 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4946 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4947 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4948 [Steve Henson]
4949
4950 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4951 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4952 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4953 < 0.9.7.
4954 [Steve Henson]
4955
4956 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4957 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4958
4959 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4960 [Steve Henson]
4961
4962 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4963
4964 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4965
4966 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4967 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4968
4969 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4970
4971 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4972 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4973
4974 [Steve Henson]
4975
4976 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4977 exiting on the first error in a request.
4978 [Steve Henson]
4979
4980 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4981 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4982 specifications.
4983 [Steve Henson]
4984
4985 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4986 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4987 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4988 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4989
4990 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4991 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4992 [Richard Levitte]
4993
4994 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4995 blocks during encryption.
4996 [Richard Levitte]
4997
4998 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4999 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5000 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5001 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5002 certain size.
5003 [Steve Henson]
5004
5005 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5006 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5007 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5008 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5009 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5010 parser.
5011 [Steve Henson]
5012
5013 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5014
5015 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5016 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5017 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5018 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5019 [Bodo Moeller]
5020
5021 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5022 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5023 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5024 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5025 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5026
5027 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5028 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5029 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5030 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5031 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5032 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5033 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5034 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5035 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5036 [Bodo Moeller]
5037
5038 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5039 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5040 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5041 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5042 [Geoff Thorpe]
5043
5044 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5045 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5046 [Ulf Moeller]
5047
5048 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5049
5050 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5051 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5052 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5053 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5054 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5055
5056 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5057 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5058 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5059
5060 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5061 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5062 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5063 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5064 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5065
5066 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5067 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5068 used by default when no-err is given.
5069 [Richard Levitte]
5070
5071 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5072 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5073
5074 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5075 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5076 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5077 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5078 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5079
5080 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5081 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5082 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5083 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5084
5085 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5086
5087 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5088
5089 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5090
5091 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5092 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5093 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5094 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5095 root is omitted).
5096 [Steve Henson]
5097
5098 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5099 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5100
5101 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5102 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5103 [Steve Henson]
5104
5105 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5106 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5107 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5108 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5109 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5110
5111 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5112 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5113 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5114 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5115 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5116 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5117 followup to PR #377.
5118 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5119
5120 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5121 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5122 [Andy Polyakov]
5123
5124 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5125 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5126 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
5127 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
5128
5129 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
5130
5131 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5132 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
5133
5134 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5135 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5136 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5137 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5138 client and server.
5139 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5140 PR #377.
5141 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5142
5143 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
5144 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5145 removed entirely.
5146 [Richard Levitte]
5147
5148 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5149 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5150 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5151 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5152 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5153 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5154 of libcrypto.
5155 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5156 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5157 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5158 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5159 have to be made anyway).
5160 [Richard Levitte]
5161
5162 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5163 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5164 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5165 [Steve Henson]
5166
5167 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5168 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5169 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5170 [Richard Levitte]
5171
5172 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5173 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5174 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5175
5176 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5177 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5178 edit numbers of the version.
5179 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5180
5181 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
5182 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
5183 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5184
5185 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5186 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5187
5188 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5189 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5190 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5191
5192 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
5193 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5194
5195 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
5196 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5197
5198 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
5199 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5200
5201 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5202 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5203
5204 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
5205 overflows.
5206 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5207
5208 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5209 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
5210 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5211
5212 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5213 representations in a platform independent manner.
5214 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5215
5216 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5217 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5218 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5219
5220 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
5221 indents.
5222 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5223
5224 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
5225 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5226
5227 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
5228 full. Fixed.
5229 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5230
5231 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
5232 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
5233 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5234
5235 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
5236 unconditionally).
5237 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5238
5239 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
5240 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5241
5242 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
5243 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5244
5245 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
5246 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5247
5248 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
5249 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5250
5251 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
5252 CBCParameter.
5253 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5254
5255 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
5256 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5257
5258 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
5259 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5260
5261 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
5262 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
5263 exploitable.
5264 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5265
5266 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
5267 the 0.9.6 release series:
5268
5269 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5270 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
5271 (CVE-2002-0657)
5272 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5273
5274 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
5275 [Richard Levitte]
5276
5277 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
5278 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
5279
5280 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
5281 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
5282
5283 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
5284 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
5285 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
5286 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
5287
5288 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
5289 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
5290 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
5291
5292 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
5293 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
5294 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
5295 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5296
5297 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
5298 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
5299 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
5300 some local tweaks:
5301
5302 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
5303 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
5304 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
5305 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5306 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5307 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
5308 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
5309 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
5310 done
5311
5312 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
5313 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
5314 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
5315 [Richard Levitte]
5316
5317 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
5318 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
5319 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
5320 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
5321 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
5322
5323 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
5324 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
5325
5326 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
5327 error in AES-CFB decryption.
5328 [Richard Levitte]
5329
5330 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
5331 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
5332 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
5333 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
5334 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
5335 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
5336 [Steve Henson]
5337
5338 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
5339 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
5340 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
5341 [Steve Henson]
5342
5343 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
5344 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
5345 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5346
5347 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
5348 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
5349 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
5350 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
5351 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
5352 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
5353 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
5354 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5355
5356 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
5357 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
5358 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
5359 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
5360 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
5361 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
5362 [Steve Henson]
5363
5364 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
5365 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
5366 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
5367 declaration has been changed from
5368 int (*cb)()
5369 into
5370 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
5371 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
5372 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
5373 has been changed into
5374 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
5375
5376 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
5377 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
5378 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
5379
5380 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
5381 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
5382
5383 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
5384 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
5385 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
5386 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
5387 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
5388 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
5389 always load it have also been added.
5390 [Steve Henson]
5391
5392 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
5393 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
5394 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5395
5396 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
5397
5398 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
5399 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
5400 because it couldn't be used for anything.
5401
5402 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
5403 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
5404 command line option can be used to specify an
5405 alternative file.
5406 [Steve Henson]
5407
5408 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
5409 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
5410 [Steve Henson]
5411
5412 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
5413 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
5414 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
5415 [Steve Henson]
5416
5417 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
5418 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5419 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
5420 to work with the new engine framework.
5421 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
5422
5423 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
5424 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5425 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
5426 to work with the new engine framework.
5427 [Richard Levitte]
5428
5429 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
5430 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
5431 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
5432
5433 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
5434 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
5435
5436 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
5437 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
5438 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
5439 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
5440 FORMAT_IISSGC.
5441 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5442
5443 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5444 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5445
5446 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
5447 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
5448
5449 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
5450 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
5451 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
5452 [Ben Laurie]
5453
5454 *) Add new functions
5455 ERR_peek_last_error
5456 ERR_peek_last_error_line
5457 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
5458 These are similar to
5459 ERR_peek_error
5460 ERR_peek_error_line
5461 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
5462 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
5463 still in the error queue.
5464 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
5465
5466 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
5467 like:
5468 default_algorithms = ALL
5469 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
5470 [Steve Henson]
5471
5472 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
5473 [Steve Henson]
5474
5475 *) New experimental application configuration code.
5476 [Steve Henson]
5477
5478 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
5479 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
5480 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
5481 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5482
5483 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
5484 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
5485
5486 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
5487 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5488
5489 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
5490 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
5491 [Bodo Moeller]
5492
5493 *) New functions/macros
5494
5495 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
5496 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
5497 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
5498 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
5499
5500 to request calling a callback function
5501
5502 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
5503 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
5504
5505 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
5506 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
5507 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
5508 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
5509 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
5510 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
5511 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
5512 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
5513 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
5514 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
5515
5516 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
5517 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
5518 [Bodo Moeller]
5519
5520 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
5521 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
5522 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
5523 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
5524 the configuration scripts.
5525
5526 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
5527 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
5528 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
5529
5530 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
5531 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5532
5533 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
5534 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
5535 when reusing an existing buffer.
5536 [Bodo Moeller]
5537
5538 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
5539 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
5540 [Steve Henson]
5541
5542 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
5543 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
5544 [Ben Laurie]
5545
5546 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
5547 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
5548 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
5549 has the same effect.
5550 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5551
5552 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
5553 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
5554 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
5555 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
5556 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
5557 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
5558 exception.
5559
5560 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
5561 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
5562 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
5563 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
5564
5565 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
5566 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
5567 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
5568 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
5569
5570 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
5571 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
5572 won't work.
5573
5574 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
5575 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
5576 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
5577 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
5578 default), and then completely removed.
5579 [Richard Levitte]
5580
5581 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
5582 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
5583 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
5584 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
5585 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
5586 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
5587 particular extension is supported.
5588 [Steve Henson]
5589
5590 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
5591 to retain compatibility with existing code.
5592 [Steve Henson]
5593
5594 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
5595 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
5596 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
5597 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
5598 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
5599 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
5600 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
5601 requires the destination to be valid.
5602
5603 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
5604 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
5605 [Steve Henson]
5606
5607 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
5608 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
5609 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
5610 [Bodo Moeller]
5611
5612 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
5613 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
5614
5615 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
5616 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
5617 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
5618 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
5619 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
5620 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
5621 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
5622 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
5623 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
5624 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
5625 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
5626 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
5627 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
5628 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
5629 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
5630 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
5631 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
5632 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
5633 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
5634 the new code.
5635 [Geoff Thorpe]
5636
5637 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
5638 [Steve Henson]
5639
5640 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
5641 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
5642 become part of libeay.num as well.
5643 [Richard Levitte]
5644
5645 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
5646 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
5647 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
5648 false once a handshake has been completed.
5649 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
5650 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
5651 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
5652 client has followed the request.)
5653 [Bodo Moeller]
5654
5655 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
5656 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
5657 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
5658 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
5659
5660 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
5661 more bits available for options that should not be part of
5662 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
5663 [Bodo Moeller]
5664
5665 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
5666 [Steve Henson]
5667
5668 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
5669 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
5670 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
5671 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5672
5673 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
5674 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5675 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5676
5677 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
5678 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
5679 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
5680 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
5681 [Geoff Thorpe]
5682
5683 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
5684 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
5685 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
5686 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
5687 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
5688 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
5689 [Geoff Thorpe]
5690
5691 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
5692 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
5693 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
5694 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
5695 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
5696 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
5697 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
5698 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
5699 [Geoff Thorpe]
5700
5701 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
5702 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
5703 [Geoff Thorpe]
5704
5705 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
5706 [Ben Laurie]
5707
5708 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
5709 md_data void pointer.
5710 [Ben Laurie]
5711
5712 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
5713 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
5714 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
5715 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
5716 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
5717 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
5718 [Ben Laurie]
5719
5720 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
5721 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
5722 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
5723 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
5724 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
5725 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
5726 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
5727 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
5728 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
5729 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
5730 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
5731 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
5732 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
5733 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
5734 rather than letting it slide.
5735
5736 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
5737 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
5738 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
5739 [Geoff Thorpe]
5740
5741 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
5742 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
5743 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
5744 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
5745 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
5746 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
5747 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
5748 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
5749 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
5750 [Geoff Thorpe]
5751
5752 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
5753 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
5754 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
5755 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
5756 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
5757
5758 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
5759 [Geoff Thorpe]
5760
5761 *) Add EVP test program.
5762 [Ben Laurie]
5763
5764 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
5765 [Ben Laurie]
5766
5767 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
5768 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
5769 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
5770 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
5771 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
5772 [Steve Henson]
5773
5774 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
5775 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
5776 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
5777 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
5778 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
5779 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
5780 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
5781
5782 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
5783 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
5784 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
5785 Usage example:
5786
5787 EVP_MD_CTX md;
5788
5789 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
5790 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
5791 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
5792 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
5793 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
5794
5795 [Ben Laurie]
5796
5797 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
5798 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
5799 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
5800 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
5801 anyway): E.g.,
5802
5803 des_key_schedule ks;
5804
5805 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
5806 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
5807
5808 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
5809 [Ben Laurie]
5810
5811 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
5812 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
5813 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
5814 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
5815 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
5816 functions prevents this.
5817 [Steve Henson]
5818
5819 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
5820 [Ben Laurie]
5821
5822 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
5823 correct _ecb suffix.
5824 [Ben Laurie]
5825
5826 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
5827 revocation information is handled using the text based index
5828 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
5829 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
5830 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
5831 [Steve Henson]
5832
5833 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
5834 [Richard Levitte]
5835
5836 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
5837 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
5838 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
5839 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
5840
5841 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
5842 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
5843
5844 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
5845 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5846 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
5847 via Richard Levitte]
5848
5849 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
5850 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
5851 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
5852 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
5853 [Geoff Thorpe]
5854
5855 *) Speed up EVP routines.

5871 [Ben Laurie]
5872
5873 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
5874 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
5875
5876 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
5877 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
5878 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
5879 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
5880 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
5881 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
5882 [Steve Henson]
5883
5884 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
5885 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
5886 [Richard Levitte]
5887
5888 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
5889 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
5890 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
5891 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
5892
5893 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
5894 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
5895 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
5896 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
5897 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
5898 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
5899 callback.
5900 [Richard Levitte]
5901
5902 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
5903 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
5904 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
5905 and interrupts/cancellations.
5906 [Richard Levitte]
5907
5908 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
5909 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5910 [Steve Henson]
5911
5912 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5913 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5914 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5915
5916 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5917 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5918 kind of callback.
5919 [Richard Levitte]
5920
5921 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5922 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5923 than this minimum value is recommended.
5924 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5925
5926 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5927 that are easily reachable.
5928 [Richard Levitte]
5929
5930 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5931 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5932
5933 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5934
5935 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5936 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5937 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5938 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5939 [Steve Henson]
5940
5941 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5942 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5943 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5944 [Steve Henson]
5945
5946 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5947 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5948 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5949 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5950 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5951 internally such as S/MIME.
5952
5953 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5954 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5955 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5956
5957 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5958 applications.
5959 [Steve Henson]
5960
5961 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5962 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5963 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5964 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5965
5966 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5967
5968 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5969
5970 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5971 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5972 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5973 handling.
5974 [Steve Henson]
5975
5976 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5977 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5978 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5979 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5980 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5981 a window system and the like.
5982 [Richard Levitte]
5983
5984 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5985 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5986 [Geoff]
5987
5988 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5989 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5990 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5991 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5992 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5993 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5994 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5995 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5996 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5997 ENGINE structure.
5998 [Geoff]
5999
6000 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6001 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6002 tag cache.
6003 [Steve Henson]
6004
6005 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6006 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6007 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6008 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6009 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6010 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6011 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6012 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6013 [Geoff]
6014
6015 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6016 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6017 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6018 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6019 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6020 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6021 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6022 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6023 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6024 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6025 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6026 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6027 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6028 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6029 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6030 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6031 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6032 [Geoff]
6033
6034 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6035 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6036 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6037 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6038 internal engine_int.h header.
6039 [Geoff]
6040
6041 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6042 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6043 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6044 modify their own ones).
6045 [Geoff]
6046
6047 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6048 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6049 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6050 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6051 later on via ctrl() commands.
6052 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6053 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6054 structural references.
6055 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6056 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6057 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6058 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6059 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6060 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6061 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6062 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6063 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6064 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6065 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6066 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6067 [Geoff]
6068
6069 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6070 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6071 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6072 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6073 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6074 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6075 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6076 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6077 [Bodo Moeller]
6078
6079 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6080 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6081 [Steve Henson]
6082
6083 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6084 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6085 [Steve Henson]
6086
6087 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6088 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6089 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6090 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6091 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6092 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6093 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6094 [Steve Henson]
6095
6096 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6097 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6098 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6099 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6100 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6101
6102 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6103 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6104 generator).
6105 [Bodo Moeller]
6106
6107 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6108
6109 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6110 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6111 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6112
6113 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6114 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6115
6116 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6117 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6118 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6119
6120 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6121 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6122
6123 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6124 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6125
6126 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6127
6128 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6129 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6130 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6131 [Bodo Moeller]
6132
6133 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6134 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6135 [Richard Levitte]
6136
6137 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6138 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6139 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6140 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6141 is 40 of more characters long.
6142 [Steve Henson]
6143
6144 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6145 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6146 pointers.
6147 [Steve Henson]
6148
6149 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6150 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6151 [Bodo Moeller]
6152
6153 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6154 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6155 might.
6156 [Steve Henson]
6157
6158 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6159
6160 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6161 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6162
6163 ASN1 error codes
6164 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6165 ...
6166 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6167 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6168 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6169 ...
6170 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6171 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6172
6173 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6174 [Bodo Moeller]
6175
6176 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6177 suffices.
6178 [Bodo Moeller]
6179
6180 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6181 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6182 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6183 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6184 and
6185 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6186
6187 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6188 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6189
6190 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6191 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6192 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6193 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6194 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6195 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6196
6197 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6198 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6199
6200 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6201 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6202
6203 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6204 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6205
6206 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6207 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6208 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6209 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6210
6211 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6212 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6213
6214 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6215 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
6216
6217 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
6218 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
6219 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
6220 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
6221 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
6222 [Richard Levitte]
6223
6224 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
6225 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
6226 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
6227 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
6228 [Steve Henson]
6229
6230 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
6231 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
6232 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
6233 trust settings.
6234 [Steve Henson]
6235
6236 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
6237 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
6238 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
6239 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
6240 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
6241 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
6242 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
6243 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
6244 ocsp utility.
6245 [Steve Henson]
6246
6247 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
6248 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
6249 [Steve Henson]
6250
6251 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
6252 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
6253 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
6254 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
6255 [Steve Henson]
6256
6257 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
6258 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
6259 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
6260 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
6261 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
6262 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
6263 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
6264 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
6265 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
6266 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
6267 [Steve Henson]
6268
6269 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
6270 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
6271 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
6272 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
6273 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
6274 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
6275 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
6276 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6277
6278 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
6279 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
6280 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
6281 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
6282 [Richard Levitte]
6283
6284 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
6285 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
6286 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
6287 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
6288 opensslconf.h.
6289 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
6290 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
6291 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
6292 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
6293 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
6294 what is available.
6295 [Richard Levitte]
6296
6297 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
6298 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
6299 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
6300 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
6301 auto incremented.
6302 [Steve Henson]
6303
6304 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
6305 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
6306 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
6307 [Steve Henson]
6308
6309 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
6310 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
6311 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
6312 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
6313 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
6314 [Steve Henson]
6315
6316 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
6317 [Steve Henson]
6318
6319 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
6320 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
6321 option to ocsp utility.
6322 [Steve Henson]
6323
6324 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
6325 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
6326 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
6327 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
6328 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
6329 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
6330 the request is nonce-less.
6331 [Steve Henson]
6332
6333 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
6334 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
6335 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
6336 [Bodo Moeller]
6337
6338 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
6339 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
6340 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
6341 [Steve Henson]
6342
6343 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
6344 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
6345 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
6346 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
6347 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
6348 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6349
6350 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
6351 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
6352 appear to exist.
6353 [Steve Henson]
6354
6355 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
6356 additional certificates supplied.
6357 [Steve Henson]
6358
6359 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
6360 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
6361 signature against.
6362 [Richard Levitte]
6363
6364 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
6365 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
6366 AES OIDs.
6367
6368 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
6369 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
6370 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
6371 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
6372 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
6373 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
6374 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
6375 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
6376 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6377
6378 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
6379 request to response.
6380 [Steve Henson]
6381
6382 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
6383 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
6384 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
6385 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
6386 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
6387 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
6388 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
6389 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
6390 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
6391 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
6392 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
6393 [Steve Henson]
6394
6395 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
6396 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
6397 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
6398 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
6399 [Steve Henson]
6400
6401 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
6402 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6403
6404 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
6405 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
6406 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
6407 [Steve Henson]
6408
6409 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
6410 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
6411 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
6412 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6413 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6414
6415 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
6416 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
6417 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
6418 [Steve Henson]
6419
6420 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
6421 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
6422 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
6423 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
6424 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
6425 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
6426 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6427 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6428
6429 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
6430 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
6431 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
6432 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
6433 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
6434 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
6435 [Steve Henson]
6436
6437 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
6438 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
6439 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
6440 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
6441 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
6442 printout format cleaned up.
6443 [Steve Henson]
6444
6445 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
6446 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
6447 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
6448 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
6449 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
6450 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
6451 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
6452 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
6453 [Steve Henson]
6454
6455 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
6456 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
6457 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
6458 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
6459 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
6460 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
6461 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
6462 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
6463 [Steve Henson]
6464
6465 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
6466 extensions from a separate configuration file.
6467 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
6468 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
6469 section to use.
6470 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6471
6472 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
6473 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
6474 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
6475 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
6476 [Steve Henson]
6477
6478 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
6479 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
6480 the given serial number (according to the index file).
6481 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
6482 in the index file.
6483 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6484
6485 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
6486 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
6487 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
6488 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6489
6490 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
6491 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
6492
6493 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
6494 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
6495 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
6496 [Steve Henson]
6497
6498 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
6499 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
6500 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
6501 [Bodo Moeller]
6502
6503 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
6504 file name and line number information in additional arguments
6505 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
6506 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
6507 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
6508 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
6509 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
6510 functions are provided:
6511
6512 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
6513 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
6514 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
6515 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
6516
6517 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
6518 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
6519 extended allocation function is enabled.
6520 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
6521 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
6522 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
6523
6524 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
6525 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
6526 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
6527 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
6528 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
6529 [Geoff Thorpe]
6530
6531 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
6532 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
6533 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
6534 be queried.
6535 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
6536 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
6537 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
6538 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6539
6540 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
6541 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
6542 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
6543 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
6544 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
6545 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
6546 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
6547 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
6548 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
6549 [Richard Levitte]
6550
6551 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
6552 provide utility functions which an application needing
6553 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
6554 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
6555 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
6556
6557 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
6558 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
6559 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
6560 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
6561 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
6562 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
6563 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
6564 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
6565 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
6566
6567 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
6568 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
6569 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
6570 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
6571 [Steve Henson]
6572
6573 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
6574 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
6575 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
6576 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
6577 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
6578 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
6579 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
6580 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
6581 will be added elsewhere.
6582 [Steve Henson]
6583
6584 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
6585 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
6586 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
6587 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
6588 [Steve Henson]
6589
6590 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
6591 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
6592 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
6593 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
6594 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
6595 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
6596 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
6597 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
6598 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
6599 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
6600 to produce the required SET OF.
6601 [Steve Henson]
6602
6603 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
6604 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
6605 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
6606 [Richard Levitte]
6607
6608 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
6609 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
6610 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
6611 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
6612 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
6613 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
6614 [Steve Henson]
6615
6616 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
6617 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
6618 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
6619 [Steve Henson]
6620
6621 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
6622 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
6623 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
6624 [Richard Levitte]
6625
6626 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
6627 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
6628 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
6629 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
6630 code will still work when these eventually go away.
6631 [Steve Henson]
6632
6633 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
6634 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
6635 [Steve Henson]
6636
6637 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
6638 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
6639 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
6640 certifcates and CRLs.
6641 [Steve Henson]
6642
6643 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
6644 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
6645 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
6646 [Steve Henson]
6647
6648 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
6649 entries for variables.
6650 [Steve Henson]
6651
6652 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
6653 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
6654 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
6655 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
6656 [Bodo Moeller]
6657
6658 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
6659 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
6660 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
6661 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
6662 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
6663 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
6664 [Bodo Moeller]
6665
6666 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
6667 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
6668
6669 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
6670 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
6671 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
6672 [Steve Henson]
6673
6674 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
6675 print routines.
6676 [Steve Henson]
6677
6678 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
6679 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
6680 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
6681 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
6682 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
6683 order did not reflect the encoded order.
6684 [Steve Henson]
6685
6686 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
6687 [Steve Henson]
6688
6689 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
6690 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
6691 for now but they will eventually go away.
6692 [Steve Henson]
6693
6694 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
6695 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
6696 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
6697 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
6698 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
6699 has also been converted to the new form.
6700 [Steve Henson]
6701
6702 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
6703 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
6704 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
6705 for negative moduli.
6706 [Bodo Moeller]
6707
6708 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
6709 of not touching the result's sign bit.
6710 [Bodo Moeller]
6711
6712 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
6713 set.
6714 [Bodo Moeller]
6715
6716 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
6717 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
6718 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
6719 type-specific callbacks.
6720 [Geoff Thorpe]
6721
6722 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
6723 RFC 2712.
6724 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6725 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
6726
6727 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
6728 in sections depending on the subject.
6729 [Richard Levitte]
6730
6731 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
6732 Windows.
6733 [Richard Levitte]
6734
6735 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
6736 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
6737 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
6738 be handled deterministically).
6739 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6740
6741 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
6742 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
6743 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
6744 [Bodo Moeller]
6745
6746 *) New function BN_kronecker.
6747 [Bodo Moeller]
6748
6749 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
6750 positive unless both parameters are zero.
6751 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
6752 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
6753 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
6754 [Bodo Moeller]
6755
6756 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
6757 sign of the number in question.
6758
6759 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
6760
6761 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
6762 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
6763 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
6764 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
6765 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
6766 [Bodo Moeller]
6767
6768 *) New function BN_swap.
6769 [Bodo Moeller]
6770
6771 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
6772 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
6773 results on negative inputs.
6774 [Bodo Moeller]
6775
6776 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
6777 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
6778 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
6779 [Bodo Moeller]
6780
6781 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
6782 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
6783 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
6784 and add new functions:
6785
6786 BN_nnmod
6787 BN_mod_sqr
6788 BN_mod_add
6789 BN_mod_add_quick
6790 BN_mod_sub
6791 BN_mod_sub_quick
6792 BN_mod_lshift1
6793 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
6794 BN_mod_lshift
6795 BN_mod_lshift_quick
6796
6797 These functions always generate non-negative results.
6798
6799 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
6800 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
6801
6802 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
6803 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
6804 be reduced modulo m.

6807 #if 0
6808 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
6809 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
6810 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
6811
6812 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6813 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6814 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6815 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6816 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6817 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6818 differing sizes.
6819 [Richard Levitte]
6820 #endif
6821
6822 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
6823 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
6824 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
6825 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
6826 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
6827
6828 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
6829 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
6830 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
6831 cause any problems.
6832 [Bodo Moeller]
6833
6834 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
6835 [Richard Levitte]
6836
6837 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
6838 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
6839 [Richard Levitte]
6840
6841 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
6842 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
6843 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
6844 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
6845 time)
6846 [Richard Levitte]
6847
6848 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
6849 [Richard Levitte]
6850
6851 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
6852 [Richard Levitte]
6853
6854 *) Add the following functions:
6855
6856 ENGINE_load_cswift()
6857 ENGINE_load_chil()
6858 ENGINE_load_atalla()
6859 ENGINE_load_nuron()
6860 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
6861
6862 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
6863 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
6864 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
6865 libraries unless it's really needed.
6866
6867 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
6868 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
6869 declarations (they differed!).
6870 [Richard Levitte]
6871
6872 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
6873 [Richard Levitte]
6874
6875 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
6876 [Richard Levitte]
6877
6878 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
6879 [Bodo Moeller]
6880
6881 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
6882 identity, and test if they are actually available.
6883 [Richard Levitte]
6884
6885 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
6886 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
6887 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6888
6889 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
6890 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
6891 [Richard Levitte]
6892
6893 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
6894 [Richard Levitte]
6895
6896 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
6897 [Richard Levitte]
6898
6899 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
6900 [Ben Laurie]
6901
6902 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
6903 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
6904 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
6905
6906 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
6907 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
6908 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
6909 different shared library filenames on each system.
6910 [Geoff Thorpe]
6911
6912 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6913 [Richard Levitte]
6914
6915 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6916 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6917 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6918 of two sections.
6919 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6920
6921 *) NCONF changes.
6922 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6923 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6924 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6925 binary backward compatibility.
6926 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6927 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6928 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6929 LDAP server.
6930 [Richard Levitte]
6931
6932 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6933 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6934 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6935 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6936 this case.
6937 [Steve Henson]
6938
6939 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6940 [Ben Laurie]
6941
6942 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6943 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6944 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6945 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6946 set.
6947 [Steve Henson]
6948
6949 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6950 [Richard Levitte]
6951
6952 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6953
6954 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6955 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6956 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6957
6958 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6959
6960 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6961
6962 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6963 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6964 [Steve Henson]
6965
6966 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6967
6968 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6969
6970 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6971 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6972
6973 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6974 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6975
6976 [Steve Henson]
6977
6978 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6979 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6980 specifications.
6981 [Steve Henson]
6982
6983 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6984 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6985 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6986 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6987
6988 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6989 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6990 [Richard Levitte]
6991
6992 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6993
6994 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6995 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6996 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6997 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6998 [Bodo Moeller]
6999
7000 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7001 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7002 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7003 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7004 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7005
7006 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7007 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7008 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7009 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7010 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7011 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7012 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7013 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7014 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7015 [Bodo Moeller]
7016
7017 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7018
7019 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7020 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7021 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7022 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7023 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7024
7025 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7026 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7027 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7028
7029 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7030
7031 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7032 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7033 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7034 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7035 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7036 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7037 [Geoff Thorpe]
7038
7039 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7040 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7041 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7042 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7043 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7044 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7045
7046 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7047 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7048 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7049
7050 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7051 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7052 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7053 EVP_cleanup().
7054 [Richard Levitte]
7055
7056 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7057 being properly terminated.
7058 [Richard Levitte]
7059
7060 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7061 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7062 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7063 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7064
7065 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7066 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7067 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7068 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7069 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7070 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7071 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7072 change.
7073 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7074
7075 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7076 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7077 [Bodo Moeller]
7078
7079 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7080 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7081 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7082 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7083 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7084 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7085 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7086 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7087
7088 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7089 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7090 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7091 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7092 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7093
7094 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7095 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7096 [Steve Henson]
7097
7098 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7099
7100 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7101 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7102 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7103
7104 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
7105
7106 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
7107 and get fix the header length calculation.
7108 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
7109 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
7110 Steve Henson]
7111
7112 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
7113 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
7114 assertions could call abort()).
7115 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
7116
7117 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
7118
7119 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7120 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7121 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7122 supplied buffer.
7123 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7124
7125 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
7126 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
7127 by the selection routines (PR #130).
7128 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7129
7130 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
7131 [Nils Larsch]
7132
7133 *) New option
7134 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
7135 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
7136 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
7137
7138 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
7139 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
7140 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
7141 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
7142 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
7143 applications.
7144 [Bodo Moeller]
7145
7146 *) Changes in security patch:
7147
7148 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
7149 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
7150 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
7151 F30602-01-2-0537.
7152
7153 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7154 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7155 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7156 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
7157 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7158
7159 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
7160 happen in practice.
7161 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7162
7163 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
7164 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
7165 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
7166
7167 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7168 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
7169 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7170
7171 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
7172 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
7173 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7174
7175 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
7176
7177 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
7178 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
7179 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
7180
7181 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
7182 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
7183
7184 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
7185 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
7186 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
7187 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
7188 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
7189 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
7190 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7191
7192 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
7193 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
7194 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
7195 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
7196 [Bodo Moeller]
7197
7198 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
7199 [Bodo Moeller]
7200
7201 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
7202 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
7203 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
7204 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
7205 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
7206 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7207
7208 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
7209 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
7210 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
7211 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
7212 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
7213 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7214
7215 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
7216 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
7217 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
7218 BN_generate_prime().)
7219
7220 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
7221 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
7222 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
7223 better.
7224 [Bodo Moeller]
7225
7226 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
7227 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
7228 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7229
7230 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
7231 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
7232 when using non-blocking I/O.
7233 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
7234
7235 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
7236 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
7237
7238 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
7239 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
7240 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7241
7242 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
7243 configuration for the versions before that.
7244 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7245
7246 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
7247 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
7248 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
7249 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
7250 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7251
7252 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
7253 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
7254 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
7255 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7256
7257 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
7258 value is 0.
7259 [Richard Levitte]
7260
7261 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
7262 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7263 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7264
7265 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
7266 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
7267
7268 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
7269 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
7270 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
7271 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
7272 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
7273 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
7274 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
7275 session cache.
7276
7277 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
7278 using a local variable.
7279 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7280
7281 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
7282 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
7283 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7284
7285 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
7286 [Richard Levitte]
7287
7288 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
7289 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
7290
7291 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
7292 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
7293 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
7294
7295 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
7296
7297 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
7298 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
7299 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
7300 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
7301 [Bodo Moeller]
7302
7303 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
7304 present.
7305 [Steve Henson]
7306
7307 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
7308 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
7309 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
7310 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
7311 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
7312
7313 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
7314 returns early because it has nothing to do.
7315 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7316
7317 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7318 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
7319 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7320
7321 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7322 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
7323 (Use engine 'keyclient')
7324 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
7325
7326 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
7327 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
7328 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
7329 modules).
7330 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
7331
7332 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7333 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
7334 from 0.9.7.
7335 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
7336
7337 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7338 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
7339 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7340 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
7341
7342 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7343 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
7344 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7345 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
7346
7347 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
7348 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
7349
7350 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
7351 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
7352 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
7353 [Bodo Moeller]
7354
7355 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
7356 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
7357 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
7358 become invalid.
7359 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
7360
7361 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
7362 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
7363 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
7364 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
7365 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
7366 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
7367 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
7368 [Bodo Moeller]
7369
7370 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
7371 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
7372 one of the SSL handshake functions.
7373 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
7374
7375 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
7376 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
7377 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
7378 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
7379 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
7380 the client will at least see that alert.
7381 [Bodo Moeller]
7382
7383 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
7384 correctly.
7385 [Bodo Moeller]
7386
7387 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
7388 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
7389 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7390
7391 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
7392 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
7393 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
7394 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
7395 HelloRequest.
7396
7397 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
7398 before just sending a HelloRequest.
7399 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
7400
7401 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
7402 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
7403 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
7404 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
7405 may leak via logfiles.)
7406
7407 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
7408 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
7409 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
7410 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
7411 the legal range.
7412 [Bodo Moeller]
7413
7414 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
7415 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7416 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7417
7418 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
7419 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
7420 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
7421 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
7422 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
7423 [Bodo Moeller]
7424
7425 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
7426 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
7427
7428 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
7429 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
7430 followed by modular reduction.
7431 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
7432
7433 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
7434 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
7435 [Bodo Moeller]
7436
7437 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
7438 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
7439 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
7440 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
7441 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7442
7443 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
7444 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7445
7446 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
7447 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
7448 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7449
7450 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
7451 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
7452 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
7453 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
7454 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
7455 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
7456 automatically.
7457 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
7458
7459 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
7460 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
7461 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
7462 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
7463 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
7464
7465 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
7466 [Andy Polyakov]
7467
7468 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
7469 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
7470 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
7471 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
7472 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
7473 to allow the necessary settings.
7474 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7475
7476 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
7477 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
7478 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
7479 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
7480 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7481
7482 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
7483 dh->length and always used
7484
7485 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
7486
7487 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
7488 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
7489 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
7490 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
7491 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
7492 dh->length.
7493
7494 So switch back to
7495
7496 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
7497
7498 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
7499 otherwise.
7500 [Bodo Moeller]
7501
7502 *) In
7503
7504 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
7505 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
7506 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
7507 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
7508
7509 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
7510 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
7511 always reject numbers >= n.
7512 [Bodo Moeller]
7513
7514 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
7515 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
7516 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
7517 variable) is not atomic.
7518 [Bodo Moeller]
7519
7520 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
7521 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
7522 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
7523 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
7524
7525 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
7526 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
7527
7528 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
7529 little-endian MIPS.
7530 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
7531
7532 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
7533 [Richard Levitte]
7534
7535 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
7536
7537 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
7538 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
7539 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
7540 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
7541 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
7542 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
7543 to traverse all of 'state'.
7544
7545 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
7546 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
7547 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
7548
7549 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
7550 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
7551
7552 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
7553 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
7554 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
7555 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
7556 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
7557 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
7558 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
7559 further strengthens the PRNG.
7560 [Bodo Moeller]
7561
7562 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
7563 [Andy Polyakov]
7564
7565 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
7566 an error message in this case.
7567 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7568
7569 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
7570 [Steve Henson]
7571
7572 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
7573 positive and less than q.
7574 [Bodo Moeller]
7575
7576 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
7577 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
7578 that itself.
7579 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
7580
7581 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
7582 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
7583 [Bodo Moeller]
7584
7585 *) Fix OAEP check.
7586 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7587
7588 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
7589 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
7590 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
7591 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
7592 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
7593 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
7594 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
7595 paper.)
7596
7597 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
7598 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
7599 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
7600 detect the supposedly ignored error.
7601
7602 Both problems are now fixed.
7603 [Bodo Moeller]
7604
7605 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
7606 (previously it was 1024).
7607 [Bodo Moeller]
7608
7609 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
7610 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
7611 [Steve Henson]
7612
7613 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
7614 [Steve Henson]
7615
7616 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
7617 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
7618 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
7619 [Steve Henson]
7620
7621 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
7622 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
7623 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
7624 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
7625 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
7626 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
7627 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
7628 environment variables.
7629
7630 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
7631 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
7632 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
7633 [Bodo Moeller]
7634
7635 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
7636 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
7637 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
7638 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
7639 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
7640 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
7641 [Bodo Moeller]
7642
7643 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
7644 versions of 'test'.
7645 [Bodo Moeller]
7646
7647 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
7648
7649 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
7650 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
7651
7652 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
7653 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
7654 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
7655 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
7656 CygWin.
7657 [Richard Levitte]
7658
7659 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
7660 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
7661 amount of data available.
7662 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
7663 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7664
7665 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
7666 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
7667 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
7668 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
7669 [Bodo Moeller]
7670
7671 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
7672 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
7673 and UnixWare.
7674 [Richard Levitte]
7675
7676 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
7677 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
7678 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
7679 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
7680 [Ulf Moeller]
7681
7682 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
7683 [Andy Polyakov]
7684
7685 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
7686 [Richard Levitte]
7687
7688 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
7689 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
7690 [Steve Henson]
7691 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7692
7693 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
7694 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
7695 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
7696 (but broken) behaviour.
7697 [Steve Henson]
7698
7699 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
7700 it when found.
7701 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
7702
7703 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
7704 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
7705 [Bodo Moeller]
7706
7707 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
7708 did not exist.
7709 [Bodo Moeller]
7710
7711 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
7712 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
7713
7714 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
7715 [Richard Levitte]
7716
7717 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
7718 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
7719 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
7720
7721 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
7722 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
7723 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
7724 [Steve Henson]
7725
7726 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
7727 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
7728 [Ulf Moeller]
7729
7730 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
7731 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
7732
7733 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
7734
7735 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
7736
7737 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
7738 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
7739 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
7740 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
7741 [Bodo Moeller]
7742
7743 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
7744 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7745
7746 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
7747 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
7748 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7749
7750 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
7751 was empty.
7752 [Steve Henson]
7753 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7754
7755 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
7756 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
7757 but the code is actually correct.
7758 [Steve Henson]
7759
7760 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
7761 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
7762 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
7763 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
7764 and leaves the highest bit random.
7765 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7766
7767 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
7768 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
7769 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
7770 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
7771 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
7772 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
7773 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
7774 [Bodo Moeller]
7775
7776 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
7777 [Ulf Moeller]
7778
7779 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
7780 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
7781 [Steve Henson]
7782
7783 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
7784 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
7785 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
7786 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
7787 headers.
7788 [Richard Levitte]
7789
7790 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
7791 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
7792 and break the signature.
7793 [Steve Henson]
7794 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7795
7796 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
7797 DH ciphersuites.
7798 [Steve Henson]
7799
7800 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
7801 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
7802 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
7803 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
7804 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
7805 [Bodo Moeller]
7806
7807 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
7808 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7809
7810 *) ./config script fixes.
7811 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
7812
7813 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
7814 [Bodo Moeller]
7815
7816 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
7817 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
7818 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
7819 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
7820 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
7821
7822 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
7823 call failed, free the DSA structure.
7824 [Bodo Moeller]
7825
7826 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
7827 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
7828 [Steve Henson]
7829
7830 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
7831 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
7832 when writing a 32767 byte record.
7833 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
7834
7835 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
7836 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
7837
7838 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
7839 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
7840 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
7841 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
7842 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
7843
7844 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
7845 [Bodo Moeller]
7846
7847 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
7848 [Ulf Möller]
7849
7850 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
7851 [Ulf Möller]
7852
7853 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
7854 [Bodo Moeller]
7855
7856 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
7857 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
7858 [Bodo Moeller]
7859
7860 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
7861 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
7862 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
7863 result of the server certificate verification.)
7864 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7865
7866 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
7867 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
7868 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
7869 [Bodo Moeller]
7870
7871 *) Fix SSL_peek:
7872 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
7873 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
7874 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
7875 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
7876 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
7877 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
7878 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
7879 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
7880 [Bodo Moeller]
7881
7882 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
7883 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
7884 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
7885 happening the other way round.
7886 [Geoff Thorpe]
7887
7888 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
7889 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
7890 [Bodo Moeller]
7891
7892 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
7893 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
7894 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
7895 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
7896 [Richard Levitte]
7897
7898 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
7899 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
7900
7901 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
7902
7903 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
7904 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
7905 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
7906 that.
7907
7908 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
7909
7910 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7911
7912 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7913 static ones.
7914 [Richard Levitte]
7915
7916 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7917
7918 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7919 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7920 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7921 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7922 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7923
7924 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7925 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
7926 matter what.
7927 [Richard Levitte]
7928
7929 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7930 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7931
7932 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7933
7934 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7935 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7936 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7937 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7938 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7939 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7940 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7941 by the Finished messages.
7942 [Bodo Moeller]
7943
7944 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7945 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7946
7947 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7948 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7949 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7950 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7951 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7952 appropriately.
7953 [Steve Henson]
7954
7955 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7956 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7957 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7958 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7959 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7960 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7961 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7962 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7963 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7964 together.
7965 [Steve Henson]
7966
7967 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7968 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7969 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7970 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7971
7972 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7973 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7974 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7975 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7976 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7977 the answer.
7978
7979 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7980 been tested well enough.
7981 [Richard Levitte]
7982
7983 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7984 it can return incorrect results.
7985 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7986 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7987 [Bodo Moeller]
7988
7989 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7990 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7991 include zero length content when signing messages.
7992 [Steve Henson]
7993
7994 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7995 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7996 [Bodo Möller]
7997
7998 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7999 [Richard Levitte]
8000
8001 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
8002 wrong sign.
8003 [Ulf Möller]
8004
8005 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
8006 packages. The default package contains applications, application
8007 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
8008 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
8009 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8010 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8011 [Richard Levitte]
8012
8013 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8014 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8015
8016 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8017 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8018
8019 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8020 random number < q in the DSA library.
8021 [Ulf Möller]
8022
8023 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8024 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8025 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8026 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8027 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8028 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8029 just makes things more complicated.)
8030 [Bodo Moeller]
8031
8032 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8033 from EGD.
8034 [Ben Laurie]
8035
8036 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8037 work better on such systems.
8038 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8039
8040 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8041 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8042 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8043 [Steve Henson]
8044
8045 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8046 if there was more than one signature.
8047 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8048
8049 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8050 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
8051 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8052 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8053 [Richard Levitte]
8054
8055 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8056 rather than always using the current time.
8057 [Steve Henson]
8058
8059 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8060 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8061 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8062 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8063 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8064 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8065
8066 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8067 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8068
8069 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8070
8071 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8072 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8073 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8074 the same hash value.
8075
8076 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8077 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8078 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8079 with X509_STORE internally.
8080
8081 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8082 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8083
8084 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8085 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8086 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8087 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8088 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8089 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8090 entirely (maybe later...).
8091
8092 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8093
8094 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8095 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8096 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8097 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8098 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8099 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8100 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8101 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8102
8103 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8104 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8105
8106 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
8107 to customise the verify behaviour.
8108 [Steve Henson]
8109
8110 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8111 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
8112 [Steve Henson]
8113
8114 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
8115 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
8116 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
8117 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
8118 request is improperly encoded.
8119 [Steve Henson]
8120
8121 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
8122 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
8123 BIO_write(b, ...).
8124
8125 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
8126 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
8127
8128 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
8129 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
8130 words set to zero.)
8131 [Bodo Moeller]
8132
8133 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
8134 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
8135 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
8136 [Bodo Moeller]
8137
8138 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
8139 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
8140 BIO/fp routines also added.
8141 [Steve Henson]
8142
8143 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
8144 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
8145
8146 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
8147 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
8148 demos/state_machine.
8149 [Ben Laurie]
8150
8151 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
8152 generation and verification.
8153 [Steve Henson]
8154
8155 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
8156 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
8157 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
8158 encode and decode it manually.
8159 [Steve Henson]
8160
8161 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
8162 compile under VC++.
8163 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
8164
8165 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
8166 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
8167 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
8168 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
8169
8170 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
8171 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
8172 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
8173 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
8174 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
8175 [Steve Henson]
8176
8177 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
8178 [Richard Levitte]
8179
8180 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
8181 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
8182 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
8183
8184 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
8185 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
8186 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
8187 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
8188 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
8189 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
8190 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
8191 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
8192
8193 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
8194 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
8195
8196 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
8197
8198 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
8199 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
8200 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
8201
8202 [Richard Levitte]
8203
8204 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
8205 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
8206 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
8207 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
8208 [Richard Levitte]
8209
8210 *) MD4 implemented.
8211 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
8212
8213 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
8214 [Richard Levitte]
8215
8216 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
8217 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
8218 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
8219 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
8220 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
8221 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
8222 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
8223 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
8224 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
8225 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
8226 short or long names are found.
8227 [Steve Henson]
8228
8229 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
8230 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
8231
8232 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
8233 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
8234 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
8235 version rollback attacks was not effective.
8236
8237 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
8238 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
8239 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
8240 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
8241 [Bodo Moeller]
8242
8243 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
8244 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
8245 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
8246 [Richard Levitte]
8247
8248 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
8249 these print out strings and name structures based on various
8250 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
8251 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
8252 to allow the various flags to be set.
8253 [Steve Henson]
8254
8255 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
8256 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
8257 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
8258 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
8259 dates to be checked.
8260 [Steve Henson]
8261
8262 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
8263 negative public key encodings) on by default,
8264 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
8265 [Steve Henson]
8266
8267 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
8268 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
8269 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
8270 [Steve Henson]
8271
8272 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
8273 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
8274 [Bodo Moeller]
8275
8276 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
8277 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
8278 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
8279 are always statically linked for now, but there are
8280 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
8281 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
8282 [Richard Levitte]
8283
8284 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
8285 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
8286 Random Numbers.
8287 [Ulf Möller]
8288
8289 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
8290 DSA key.
8291 [Steve Henson]
8292
8293 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
8294 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
8295 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
8296 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
8297 form signing output easier to verify.
8298 [Steve Henson]
8299
8300 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
8301 [Steve Henson]
8302
8303 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
8304 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
8305 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
8306 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
8307 are needed because all other string types have virtually
8308 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
8309 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
8310 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
8311 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
8312 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
8313 [Steve Henson]
8314
8315 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
8316
8317 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
8318 the syntax given in objects.README.
8319 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
8320 obj_mac.h.
8321 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
8322 obj_mac.h.
8323
8324 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
8325 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
8326 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
8327 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
8328 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
8329 consistent name changes.
8330 [Richard Levitte]
8331
8332 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
8333 [Bodo Moeller]
8334
8335 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
8336 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
8337 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
8338 environment variable, or the default random state file.
8339 [Richard Levitte]
8340
8341 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
8342 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
8343 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
8344 of safestack.h .
8345 [Steve Henson]
8346
8347 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
8348 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
8349 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
8350 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
8351 [Steve Henson]
8352
8353 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
8354 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
8355 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
8356 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
8357 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
8358 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
8359 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
8360 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
8361 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
8362 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
8363 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
8364 [Steve Henson]
8365
8366 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
8367 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
8368 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
8369 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
8370 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
8371 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
8372 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
8373 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
8374 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
8375 algorithm to openssl-dev.
8376 [Steve Henson]
8377
8378 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
8379 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
8380 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
8381 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
8382
8383 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
8384 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
8385 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
8386 omit any duplicate addresses.
8387 [Steve Henson]
8388
8389 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
8390 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
8391 [Bodo Moeller]
8392
8393 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
8394 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
8395 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
8396 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
8397 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
8398 [Bodo Moeller]
8399
8400 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
8401 software:
8402 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
8403 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
8404 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
8405 Free => OPENSSL_free
8406 [Richard Levitte]
8407
8408 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
8409 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
8410 [Bodo Moeller]
8411
8412 *) CygWin32 support.
8413 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
8414
8415 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
8416 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
8417 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
8418 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
8419 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
8420 approach.
8421 [Geoff Thorpe]
8422
8423 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
8424 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
8425 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
8426 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
8427 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
8428 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
8429 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
8430 [Geoff Thorpe]
8431
8432 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
8433 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
8434 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
8435 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
8436 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
8437 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
8438 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
8439 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
8440 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
8441 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
8442 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
8443 [Bodo Moeller]
8444
8445 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
8446 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
8447 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
8448 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
8449 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
8450
8451 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
8452 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
8453 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
8454 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
8455 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
8456
8457 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
8458 ciphers.
8459
8460 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
8461 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
8462 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
8463 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
8464
8465 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
8466
8467 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
8468 of macros.
8469
8470 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
8471 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
8472 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
8473 flags.
8474
8475 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
8476 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
8477 any installed hardware versions can.
8478 [Steve Henson]
8479
8480 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
8481 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
8482 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
8483 number.
8484 [Bodo Moeller]
8485
8486 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
8487 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
8488 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
8489 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
8490 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
8491
8492 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
8493 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
8494 [Steve Henson]
8495
8496 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
8497 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
8498 [Richard Levitte]
8499
8500 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
8501 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
8502 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
8503 features.
8504 [Steve Henson]
8505
8506 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
8507 [Ulf Möller]
8508
8509 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
8510 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
8511 but no ssl client purpose.
8512 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
8513
8514 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
8515 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
8516 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
8517 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
8518 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
8519 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
8520 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
8521 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
8522 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
8523 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
8524 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
8525 [Steve Henson]
8526
8527 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
8528 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
8529 be obtained from the error queue.
8530 [Bodo Moeller]
8531
8532 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
8533 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
8534 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
8535 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
8536 [Bodo Moeller]
8537
8538 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
8539 [Ulf Möller]
8540
8541 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
8542 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
8543 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
8544 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
8545 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
8546 [Geoff Thorpe]
8547
8548 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
8549 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
8550 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
8551 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
8552 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
8553 [Geoff Thorpe]
8554
8555 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
8556 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
8557 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
8558 may not be NULL.
8559 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
8560
8561 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
8562 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
8563 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
8564 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
8565 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
8566 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
8567 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
8568 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
8569 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
8570 or "the configuration storage API"...
8571
8572 The new configuration file reading functions are:
8573
8574 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
8575 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
8576
8577 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
8578
8579 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
8580
8581 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
8582 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
8583 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
8584 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
8585 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
8586 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
8587 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
8588
8589 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
8590 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
8591 [Richard Levitte]
8592
8593 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
8594 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
8595 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
8596 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
8597 [Bodo Moeller]
8598
8599 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
8600 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
8601 them in a portable way.
8602 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
8603
8604 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
8605
8606 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
8607
8608 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
8609 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
8610
8611 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
8612 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
8613 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
8614 <attili@amaxo.com>]
8615
8616 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
8617 was larger than the MD block size.
8618 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
8619
8620 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
8621 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
8622 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
8623 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
8624 components.
8625 [Steve Henson]
8626
8627 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
8628 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
8629 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
8630
8631 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
8632 discouraged.
8633 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
8634
8635 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
8636 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
8637 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
8638 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
8639 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
8640 Additional arguments are always ignored.
8641
8642 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
8643 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
8644
8645 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
8646 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
8647 [Bodo Moeller]
8648
8649 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
8650 [Bodo Moeller]
8651
8652 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
8653 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
8654 its own key.
8655 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
8656 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
8657 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
8658 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
8659 [Bodo Moeller]
8660
8661 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
8662 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
8663 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
8664 does not suppress any output.
8665 [Richard Levitte]
8666
8667 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
8668 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
8669 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
8670 with all the associated security issues.
8671
8672 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
8673 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
8674 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
8675 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
8676 use the value in the default purpose.
8677 [Steve Henson]
8678
8679 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
8680 and fix a memory leak.
8681 [Steve Henson]
8682
8683 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
8684 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
8685 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
8686 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
8687 [Bodo Moeller]
8688
8689 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
8690 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
8691 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
8692 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
8693 [Bodo Moeller]
8694
8695 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
8696 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
8697 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
8698 [Bodo Moeller]
8699
8700 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
8701 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
8702 [Bodo Moeller]
8703
8704 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
8705 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
8706 which was free.
8707 [Steve Henson]
8708
8709 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
8710 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
8711 [Bodo Moeller]
8712
8713 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
8714 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
8715 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
8716 [Bodo Moeller]
8717
8718 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
8719 number generation fails.
8720 [Bodo Moeller]
8721
8722 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
8723 [Bodo Moeller]
8724
8725 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
8726 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
8727
8728 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
8729 [Ulf Möller]
8730
8731 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
8732 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
8733
8734 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
8735 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
8736
8737 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
8738
8739 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
8740 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
8741 [Steve Henson]
8742
8743 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
8744 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
8745
8746 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
8747 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
8748 [Ulf Möller]
8749
8750 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
8751 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
8752 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
8753 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
8754 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
8755 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
8756
8757 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
8758 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
8759 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
8760 for example.
8761 [Steve Henson]
8762
8763 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
8764 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
8765 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
8766 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
8767 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
8768 counter, some don't.)
8769 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
8770 counters or duplicate objects.
8771 [Steve Henson]
8772
8773 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
8774 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
8775 [Steve Henson]
8776
8777 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
8778 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
8779 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
8780
8781 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
8782 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
8783 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
8784 or -rand.
8785 [Ulf Möller]
8786
8787 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
8788 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
8789 [Steve Henson]
8790
8791 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
8792 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
8793 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
8794 cipher list.
8795 [Steve Henson]
8796
8797 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
8798 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
8799 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
8800 [Steve Henson]
8801
8802 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
8803 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
8804 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
8805 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
8806 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
8807 should work without changes.
8808 [Richard Levitte]
8809
8810 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
8811 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
8812 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
8813 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
8814 must be defined. E.g.,
8815 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
8816 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
8817 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
8818 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
8819
8820 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
8821 record layer.
8822 [Bodo Moeller]
8823
8824 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
8825 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
8826 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
8827 [Steve Henson]
8828
8829 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
8830 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
8831 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
8832 request header lines. Some software needs this.
8833 [Steve Henson]
8834
8835 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
8836 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
8837 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
8838 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
8839 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
8840 is prompted for as usual.
8841 [Steve Henson]
8842
8843 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
8844 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
8845 autodetect the card and use it if present.
8846 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
8847
8848 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
8849 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
8850 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
8851 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
8852 [Steve Henson]
8853
8854 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
8855 [Andy Polyakov]
8856
8857 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
8858 of seed file.
8859 [Steve Henson]
8860
8861 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
8862 [Bodo Moeller]
8863
8864 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
8865 [Steve Henson]
8866
8867 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
8868 bits.
8869 [Ulf Möller]
8870
8871 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
8872 [Ulf Möller]
8873
8874 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
8875 [Andy Polyakov]
8876
8877 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
8878 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
8879 [Ulf Möller]
8880
8881 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
8882 options to produce them.
8883 [Steve Henson]
8884
8885 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
8886 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
8887 [Ulf Möller]
8888
8889 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
8890 for p == 0.
8891 [Ulf Möller]
8892
8893 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
8894 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
8895 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
8896 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
8897 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
8898 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
8899 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
8900 [Steve Henson]
8901
8902 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
8903 [Steve Henson]
8904
8905 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
8906 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
8907 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
8908 [Bodo Moeller]
8909
8910 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
8911 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8912
8913 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8914 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8915 [Ulf Möller]
8916
8917 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8918 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8919 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8920 has already seen).
8921 [Bodo Moeller]
8922
8923 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8924 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8925
8926 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8927 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8928 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8929 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8930 generation becomes much faster.
8931
8932 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8933 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8934 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8935 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8936 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8937 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8938 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8939 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8940 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8941 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8942 [Bodo Moeller]
8943
8944 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8945 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8946 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8947 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8948 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8949 trial division stage.
8950 [Bodo Moeller]
8951
8952 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8953 as ASN1_TIME.
8954 [Steve Henson]
8955
8956 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8957 [Steve Henson]
8958
8959 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8960 [Ulf Möller]
8961
8962 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8963 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8964 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8965 the comments.
8966 [Ulf Möller]
8967
8968 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8969 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8970 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8971 [Bodo Moeller]
8972
8973 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8974 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8975 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8976 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8977
8978 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8979 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8980 [Steve Henson]
8981
8982 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8983 [Ulf Möller]
8984
8985 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8986 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8987 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8988 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8989 [Ulf Möller]
8990
8991 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8992 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8993 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8994 [Ulf Möller]
8995
8996 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8997 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8998 (instead of parameters) in future.
8999 [Steve Henson]
9000
9001 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
9002 when a new cipher list is set.
9003 [Steve Henson]
9004
9005 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
9006 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
9007 wrong.
9008
9009 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9010 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9011 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9012
9013 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9014 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9015 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9016 an error is flagged.
9017
9018 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9019 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9020 the readability was also increased :-)
9021 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9022
9023 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9024 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9025 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9026 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9027 as the root CA.
9028 [Steve Henson]
9029
9030 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9031 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9032 [Steve Henson]
9033
9034 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9035 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9036 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
9037 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9038 instead.
9039
9040 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9041 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9042 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9043 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9044 because they handle more complex structures.)
9045 [Steve Henson]
9046
9047 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9048 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9049 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9050 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9051
9052 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9053 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9054 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9055 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9056 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9057 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9058 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9059 [Ulf Möller]
9060
9061 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9062 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9063 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9064 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9065 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9066 [Bodo Moeller]
9067
9068 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9069 [Bodo Moeller]
9070
9071 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9072 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9073 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9074 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9075 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9076 to use this.
9077
9078 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9079 code.
9080 [Steve Henson]
9081
9082 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9083 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9084 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9085 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9086 [Steve Henson]
9087
9088 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9089 [Ulf Möller]
9090
9091 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9092 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9093 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9094 international characters are used.
9095
9096 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9097 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9098 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9099 in ASN1 order.
9100 [Steve Henson]
9101
9102 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9103 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9104 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
9105 request.
9106
9107 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
9108 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
9109 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
9110 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
9111 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
9112 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
9113
9114 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
9115 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
9116 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
9117 be handled by the string table functions.
9118
9119 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
9120 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
9121 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
9122 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
9123 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
9124 types at all.
9125 [Steve Henson]
9126
9127 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
9128 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
9129 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
9130 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
9131 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
9132
9133 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
9134 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
9135 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
9136 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
9137 [Bodo Moeller]
9138
9139 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
9140 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
9141 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
9142 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
9143 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
9144 SHA1.
9145 [Andy Polyakov]
9146
9147 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
9148 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
9149 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
9150 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
9151 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
9152 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
9153 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
9154 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
9155
9156 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
9157 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
9158 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
9159 [Steve Henson]
9160
9161 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
9162 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
9163 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
9164 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
9165 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
9166 support to pkcs8 application.
9167 [Steve Henson]
9168
9169 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
9170 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
9171 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
9172 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
9173 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
9174 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
9175 [Bodo Moeller]
9176
9177 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
9178 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
9179 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
9180 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
9181 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
9182 consistency.
9183 [Bodo Moeller]
9184
9185 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
9186 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
9187 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
9188 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
9189 example.
9190 [Steve Henson]
9191
9192 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
9193 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
9194 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
9195 and any application specific purposes.
9196
9197 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
9198 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
9199 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
9200 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
9201 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
9202 if the certificate is self signed.
9203 [Steve Henson]
9204
9205 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
9206 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
9207 [Steve Henson]
9208
9209 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
9210 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
9211 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
9212 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
9213 [Steve Henson]
9214
9215 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
9216 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
9217 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
9218 Update documentation.
9219 [Steve Henson]
9220
9221 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
9222 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
9223 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
9224 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
9225 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
9226 [Steve Henson]
9227
9228 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
9229 for details.
9230 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
9231
9232 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
9233 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
9234 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
9235 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
9236 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
9237 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
9238 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
9239 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
9240 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
9241 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
9242
9243 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
9244
9245 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9246 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9247 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
9248 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
9249 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
9250
9251 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
9252 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
9253 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
9254 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
9255 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
9256 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
9257 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
9258 request additional information:
9259 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
9260 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
9261
9262 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
9263 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
9264 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
9265 options.
9266
9267 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
9268 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
9269
9270 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
9271 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
9272 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
9273
9274 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
9275 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
9276
9277 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
9278 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
9279 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
9280 algorithm.
9281 [Steve Henson]
9282
9283 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
9284 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
9285 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
9286
9287 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
9288 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
9289 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
9290 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
9291 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
9292 included in OpenSSL.
9293 [Steve Henson]
9294
9295 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
9296 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
9297 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
9298 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
9299 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
9300 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
9301 [Bodo Moeller]
9302
9303 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
9304 PKCS12 structure.
9305 [Steve Henson]
9306
9307 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
9308 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
9309 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
9310 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
9311 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
9312 structure.
9313 [Steve Henson]
9314
9315 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
9316 need initialising.
9317 [Steve Henson]
9318
9319 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
9320 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
9321 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
9322 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
9323 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
9324 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
9325 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
9326 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
9327 be maintained manually.
9328
9329 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
9330 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
9331 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
9332 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
9333 work because people forget to call this function]
9334 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
9335 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
9336 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
9337 [Steve Henson]
9338
9339 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
9340 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
9341 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
9342 should be discouraged from doing it.
9343 [Ben Laurie]
9344
9345 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
9346 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
9347 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
9348 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
9349 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
9350 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
9351 [Steve Henson]
9352
9353 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
9354 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
9355 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
9356
9357 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
9358 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
9359 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
9360
9361 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
9362 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
9363 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
9364 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
9365 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
9366 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
9367
9368 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
9369 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
9370 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
9371
9372 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
9373 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
9374 and vice versa.
9375
9376 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
9377 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
9378 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
9379 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
9380 [Steve Henson]
9381
9382 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
9383 [Steve Henson]
9384
9385 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
9386 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
9387 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
9388 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
9389 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
9390 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
9391 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
9392 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
9393 keys so we should be OK.
9394
9395 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
9396 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
9397 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
9398 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
9399 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
9400 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
9401 stay in the name of compatibility.
9402
9403 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
9404 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
9405 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
9406
9407 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
9408 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
9409 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
9410 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
9411 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
9412 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
9413 supplied key).
9414 [Steve Henson]
9415
9416 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
9417 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
9418 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
9419 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
9420 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
9421 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
9422 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
9423 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
9424 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
9425 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
9426 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
9427 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
9428 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
9429 [Steve Henson]
9430
9431 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
9432 [Steve Henson]
9433
9434 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
9435 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
9436 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
9437 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
9438 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
9439 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
9440 single self signed certificate. This means that:
9441 openssl verify ss.pem
9442 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
9443 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
9444 is OK.
9445 [Steve Henson]
9446
9447 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
9448 (and add it to external session representation).
9449 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
9450 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
9451 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
9452 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
9453 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
9454 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
9455 security holes.
9456 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
9457
9458 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
9459 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
9460 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
9461 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
9462
9463 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
9464 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
9465 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
9466 [Steve Henson]
9467
9468 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
9469 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
9470 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
9471 code.
9472 [Steve Henson]
9473
9474 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
9475 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
9476 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
9477
9478 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
9479 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
9480 certificate auxiliary information.
9481 [Steve Henson]
9482
9483 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
9484 the 'enc' command.
9485 [Steve Henson]
9486
9487 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
9488 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
9489 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
9490 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
9491 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
9492 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
9493 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
9494 [Richard Levitte]
9495
9496 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
9497 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
9498 [Steve Henson]
9499
9500 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
9501 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
9502 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
9503 manpages and fix a few bugs.
9504 [Steve Henson]
9505
9506 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
9507 [Steve Henson]
9508
9509 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
9510 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
9511 [Steve Henson]
9512
9513 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
9514 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
9515 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
9516 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
9517 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
9518 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
9519 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
9520 using the new 'x509' options.
9521
9522 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
9523 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
9524 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
9525 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
9526 for all purposes.
9527 [Steve Henson]
9528
9529 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
9530 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
9531 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
9532 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
9533 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
9534 [Mark Cox]
9535
9536 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
9537 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
9538 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
9539 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
9540 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
9541 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
9542 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
9543 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
9544 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
9545 the key length and effective key length are equal.
9546 [Steve Henson]
9547
9548 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
9549 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
9550 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
9551 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
9552 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
9553 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
9554 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
9555 [Steve Henson]
9556
9557 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
9558 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
9559 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
9560 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
9561 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
9562 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
9563 openssl.cnf for more info.
9564 [Steve Henson]
9565
9566 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
9567 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
9568 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
9569 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
9570 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
9571 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
9572 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
9573 md should be large enough anyway.
9574 [Bodo Moeller]
9575
9576 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
9577 for handling the random seed file.
9578
9579 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
9580 ca,
9581 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
9582 s_client,
9583 s_server,
9584 x509 (when signing).
9585 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
9586 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
9587 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
9588
9589 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
9590 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
9591 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
9592 that support '-rand'.
9593 [Bodo Moeller]
9594
9595 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
9596 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
9597 [Bodo Moeller]
9598
9599 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
9600 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
9601 [Bill Perry]
9602
9603 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
9604 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
9605 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
9606 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
9607 is suitable.
9608 [Steve Henson]
9609
9610 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
9611 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
9612 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
9613 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
9614 [Steve Henson]
9615
9616 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
9617 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
9618 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
9619 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
9620 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
9621 print out all the purposes.
9622 [Steve Henson]
9623
9624 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
9625 functions.
9626 [Steve Henson]
9627
9628 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
9629 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
9630 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
9631 single function call.
9632 [Steve Henson]
9633
9634 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
9635 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
9636 [Andy Polyakov]
9637
9638 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
9639 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
9640 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
9641 [Steve Henson]
9642
9643 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
9644 when producing the local key id.
9645 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9646
9647 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
9648 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
9649 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
9650 "server.pem".
9651 [Steve Henson]
9652
9653 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
9654 a public key to be input or output. For example:
9655 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
9656 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
9657 [Steve Henson]
9658
9659 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
9660 in the message. This was handled by allowing
9661 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
9662 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
9663
9664 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
9665 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
9666 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
9667 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9668
9669 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
9670 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
9671 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
9672 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
9673 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
9674 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
9675 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
9676 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
9677 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
9678 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
9679 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
9680 trivial: move one line.
9681 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
9682
9683 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
9684 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
9685 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
9686 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
9687 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
9688 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
9689 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
9690 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
9691 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
9692 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
9693 with an event loop for example.
9694 [Steve Henson]
9695
9696 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
9697 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
9698 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
9699 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
9700 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
9701 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
9702 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
9703 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
9704 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
9705 [Steve Henson]
9706
9707 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
9708 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
9709 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
9710 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
9711 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
9712 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
9713 [Steve Henson]
9714
9715 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
9716 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
9717 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
9718 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
9719
9720 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
9721 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
9722 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
9723 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
9724 key generation.
9725 [Steve Henson]
9726
9727 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
9728 (still largely untested)
9729 [Bodo Moeller]
9730
9731 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
9732 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
9733 [Steve Henson]
9734
9735 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
9736 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
9737 [Steve Henson]
9738
9739 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
9740 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
9741 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
9742 [Bodo Moeller]
9743
9744 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
9745 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
9746 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
9747 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
9748 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
9749 [Steve Henson]
9750
9751 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
9752 [Andy Polyakov]
9753
9754 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
9755 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
9756 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
9757 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
9758 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
9759 in ca.
9760 [Steve Henson]
9761
9762 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
9763 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
9764 1.OU="Unit name 1"
9765 2.OU="Unit name 2"
9766 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
9767 [Steve Henson]
9768
9769 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
9770 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
9771 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
9772 are otherwise ignored at present.
9773 [Steve Henson]
9774
9775 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
9776 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
9777 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
9778 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
9779 copied until the next read.
9780 [Steve Henson]
9781
9782 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
9783 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
9784 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
9785 [Steve Henson]
9786
9787 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
9788 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
9789 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
9790 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
9791 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
9792 associated functions.
9793 [Steve Henson]
9794
9795 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
9796 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
9797 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
9798 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
9799 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
9800 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
9801 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
9802 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
9803 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
9804 memory BIOs.
9805 [Steve Henson]
9806
9807 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
9808 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
9809 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
9810 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
9811 [Bodo Moeller]
9812
9813 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
9814 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
9815 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
9816 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
9817 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
9818 functionality.
9819 [Steve Henson]
9820
9821 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
9822 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
9823 under Win32.
9824 [Steve Henson]
9825
9826 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
9827 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
9828 extensions to be obtained and added.
9829 [Steve Henson]
9830
9831 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
9832 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
9833 [Bodo Moeller]
9834
9835 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
9836
9837 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9838 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9839
9840 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
9841 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
9842
9843 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
9844 program.
9845 [Steve Henson]
9846
9847 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
9848 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
9849 DH parameters contain its length).
9850
9851 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
9852 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
9853 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
9854 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
9855 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
9856 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
9857 utter importance to use
9858 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9859 or
9860 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9861 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
9862 attacks may become possible!
9863 [Bodo Moeller]
9864
9865 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
9866 [Bodo Moeller]
9867
9868 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
9869 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
9870 [Steve Henson]
9871
9872 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
9873 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
9874 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
9875 or long name.
9876 [Steve Henson]
9877
9878 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
9879 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
9880 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
9881 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
9882 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
9883 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
9884 private key operations.
9885 [Steve Henson]
9886
9887 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
9888 [Andy Polyakov]
9889
9890 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
9891 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
9892 to
9893 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
9894 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
9895 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
9896 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
9897 the password callback is called.
9898 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
9899
9900 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
9901
9902 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
9903 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
9904 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
9905 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
9906 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
9907 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
9908 this will work.
9909
9910 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
9911 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9912 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9913 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9914 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9915 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9916 [Bodo Moeller]
9917
9918 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9919 [Andy Polyakov]
9920
9921 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9922 delete an unused file.
9923 [Ulf Möller]
9924
9925 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9926 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9927 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9928 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9929 [Steve Henson]
9930
9931 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9932 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9933 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9934 of an error.
9935 [Bodo Moeller]
9936
9937 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9938 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9939 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9940
9941 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9942 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9943 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9944 comparison" warnings.
9945 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9946 [Steve Henson]
9947
9948 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9949 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9950 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9951 [Steve Henson]
9952
9953 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9954 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9955
9956 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9957 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9958
9959 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9960 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9961 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9962
9963 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9964 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9965 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9966 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9967 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9968 this bug.
9969 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9970
9971 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9972 The interface is as follows:
9973 Applications can use
9974 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9975 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9976 "off" is now the default.
9977 The library internally uses
9978 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9979 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9980 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9981
9982 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9983 even the default) are now avoided.
9984
9985 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9986 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9987 than just having a counter.
9988
9989 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9990
9991 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9992 extensions.
9993 [Bodo Moeller]
9994
9995 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9996 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9997 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9998 Initial "mode" flags are:
9999
10000 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
10001 a single record has been written.
10002 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
10003 retries use the same buffer location.
10004 (But all of the contents must be
10005 copied!)
10006 [Bodo Moeller]
10007
10008 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
10009 worked.
10010
10011 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10012 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10013
10014 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10015 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10016 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10017 [Steve Henson]
10018
10019 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10020 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10021 test programs.
10022 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10023
10024 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10025 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10026 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10027 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10028 point to the end.
10029 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10030 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10031
10032 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10033 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10034 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10035 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10036 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10037 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10038 [Steve Henson]
10039
10040 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10041 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10042 necessary function names.
10043 [Steve Henson]
10044
10045 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10046 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10047 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10048 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10049 [Bodo Moeller]
10050
10051 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10052 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10053 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10054 [Steve Henson]
10055
10056 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10057 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10058 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10059 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10060 such programs?)
10061 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10062 need locks.
10063 [Bodo Moeller]
10064
10065 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10066 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10067 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10068 [Bodo Moeller]
10069
10070 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10071 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10072 appropriate.
10073 [Bodo Moeller]
10074
10075 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10076 for the encoded length.
10077 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10078
10079 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10080 [Steve Henson]
10081
10082 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10083 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10084 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10085 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10086 [Steve Henson]
10087
10088 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10089 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10090 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10091
10092 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10093 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10094 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10095 unusual formatting.
10096 [Steve Henson]
10097
10098 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10099 to use the new extension code.
10100 [Steve Henson]
10101
10102 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10103 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10104 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
10105 constant.
10106 [Steve Henson]
10107
10108 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
10109 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
10110 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
10111 [Bodo Moeller]
10112
10113 #if 0
10114 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
10115 [Ben Laurie]
10116 #else
10117 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
10118 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
10119 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
10120 #endif
10121
10122 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
10123 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
10124 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
10125 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
10126 [Ben Laurie]
10127
10128 *) DES library cleanups.
10129 [Ulf Möller]
10130
10131 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
10132 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
10133 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
10134 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
10135 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
10136 of v2.0.
10137 [Steve Henson]
10138
10139 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
10140 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
10141 [Bodo Moeller]
10142
10143 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
10144 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
10145 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
10146 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
10147 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
10148 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
10149 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
10150 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
10151 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
10152 [Steve Henson]
10153
10154 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
10155 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
10156 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
10157 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
10158 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
10159 value doesn't matter.
10160 [Steve Henson]
10161
10162 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
10163 support mutable.
10164 [Ben Laurie]
10165
10166 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
10167 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
10168 "linux-sparc" configuration.
10169 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
10170
10171 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
10172 [Ulf Möller]
10173
10174 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
10175 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
10176 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10177
10178 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
10179 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10180
10181 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
10182 [Ben Laurie]
10183
10184 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
10185 [Ben Laurie]
10186
10187 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
10188 [Ben Laurie]
10189
10190 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
10191 [Bodo Moeller]
10192
10193
10194 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
10195
10196 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
10197
10198 *) Updated some demos.
10199 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
10200
10201 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
10202 [Wu Zhigang]
10203
10204 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
10205 [Steve Henson]
10206
10207 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
10208 [Steve Henson]
10209
10210 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
10211 instead of using a fixed path.
10212 [Bodo Moeller]
10213
10214 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
10215 [Andy Polyakov]
10216
10217 *) Improvements for VMS support.
10218 [Richard Levitte]
10219
10220
10221 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
10222
10223 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
10224 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
10225 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10226
10227 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
10228 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
10229 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
10230 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
10231 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
10232 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
10233 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
10234 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
10235 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
10236 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
10237 [Steve Henson]
10238
10239 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
10240 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
10241 [Steve Henson]
10242
10243 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
10244 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
10245 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
10246 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
10247 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
10248
10249 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
10250 [Bodo Moeller]
10251
10252 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
10253 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
10254 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
10255 [Steve Henson]
10256
10257 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
10258 [Ben Laurie]
10259
10260 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
10261 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
10262 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
10263 key elements as negative integers.
10264 [Steve Henson]
10265
10266 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
10267 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10268
10269 *) VMS support.
10270 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
10271
10272 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
10273 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
10274 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
10275 [Steve Henson]
10276
10277 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
10278 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
10279 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
10280 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
10281 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
10282 [Bodo Moeller]
10283
10284 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
10285 [Ulf Möller]
10286
10287 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
10288 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
10289 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
10290 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10291
10292 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
10293 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
10294 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
10295
10296 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
10297 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
10298 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
10299 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
10300 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
10301 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
10302 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
10303 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
10304 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
10305
10306 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
10307 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
10308 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
10309 does not influence s as it used to.
10310
10311 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
10312 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
10313 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
10314 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
10315 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
10316 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
10317 [Bodo Moeller]
10318
10319 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
10320 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
10321 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
10322 key type.
10323 [Steve Henson]
10324
10325 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
10326 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
10327 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
10328 and 'x509').
10329 [Steve Henson]
10330
10331 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
10332 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
10333 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
10334 extension option.
10335 [Steve Henson]
10336
10337 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
10338 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
10339 [Ben Laurie]
10340
10341 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
10342 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10343
10344 *) Support Mingw32.
10345 [Ulf Möller]
10346
10347 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
10348 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10349
10350 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
10351 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10352
10353 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
10354 [Ulf Möller]
10355
10356 *) Update HPUX configuration.
10357 [Anonymous]
10358
10359 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
10360 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10361
10362 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
10363 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
10364 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
10365 DER-encoded.)
10366 [Bodo Moeller]
10367
10368 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
10369 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
10370 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
10371 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
10372 now it really counts the depth.
10373 [Bodo Moeller]
10374
10375 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
10376 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
10377 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
10378 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
10379 didn't match the private key).
10380
10381 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
10382 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
10383 connection using the SSL_CTX).
10384 [Bodo Moeller]
10385
10386 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
10387 [Ulf Möller]
10388
10389 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
10390 David Harris.
10391 [Bodo Moeller]
10392
10393 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
10394 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
10395 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
10396 [Bodo Moeller]
10397
10398 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
10399 [Bodo Moeller]
10400
10401 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
10402 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
10403 such as /usr/local/bin.
10404 [Bodo Moeller]
10405
10406 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
10407 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10408
10409 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
10410 [Ulf Möller]
10411
10412 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
10413 extension adding in x509 utility.
10414 [Steve Henson]
10415
10416 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
10417 [Ulf Möller]
10418
10419 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
10420 prototypes.
10421 [Steve Henson]
10422
10423 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
10424 [Ulf Möller]
10425
10426 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
10427 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
10428 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
10429 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
10430 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
10431 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
10432 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
10433 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
10434 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
10435 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
10436 [Steve Henson]
10437
10438 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
10439 [Bodo Moeller]
10440
10441 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
10442 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
10443 [Bodo Moeller]
10444
10445 *) Fix some race conditions.
10446 [Bodo Moeller]
10447
10448 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
10449 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
10450 [Steve Henson]
10451
10452 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
10453 [Ulf Möller]
10454
10455 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
10456 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
10457 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
10458 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
10459
10460 *) Fix lots of warnings.
10461 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10462
10463 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
10464 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
10465 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10466
10467 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
10468 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10469
10470 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
10471 [Ulf Möller]
10472
10473 *) Fix typos in error codes.
10474 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
10475
10476 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
10477 [Ulf Möller]
10478
10479 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
10480 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10481
10482 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
10483 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
10484 [Steve Henson]
10485
10486 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
10487 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
10488 [Ben Laurie]
10489
10490 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
10491 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
10492 [Steve Henson]
10493
10494 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
10495 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
10496 [Steve Henson]
10497
10498 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
10499 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
10500 [Steve Henson]
10501
10502 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
10503 support typesafe stack.
10504 [Steve Henson]
10505
10506 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
10507 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
10508
10509 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
10510 old X509V3 handling code.
10511 [Steve Henson]
10512
10513 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
10514 [Ulf Möller]
10515
10516 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
10517 [Bodo Moeller]
10518
10519 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
10520 [Ben Laurie]
10521
10522 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
10523 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
10524
10525 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
10526 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
10527 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
10528 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
10529 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
10530 [Ben Laurie]
10531
10532 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
10533 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
10534 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
10535 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
10536 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
10537
10538 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
10539 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
10540 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
10541 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10542
10543 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
10544 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
10545 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
10546 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10547
10548 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
10549 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
10550 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
10551 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
10552 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
10553 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
10554 [Bodo Moeller]
10555
10556 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
10557 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
10558 [Bodo Moeller]
10559
10560 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
10561 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
10562 [Ulf Möller]
10563
10564 *) Tweaks to Configure
10565 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10566
10567 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
10568 yet...
10569 [Steve Henson]
10570
10571 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
10572 [Ulf Möller]
10573
10574 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
10575 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
10576 [Ulf Möller]
10577
10578 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
10579 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
10580 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
10581 [Bodo Moeller]
10582
10583 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
10584 [Bodo Moeller]
10585
10586 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
10587 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
10588 [Steve Henson]
10589
10590 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
10591 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
10592 to library startup routines.
10593 [Steve Henson]
10594
10595 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
10596 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
10597 codes along the way.
10598 [Steve Henson]
10599
10600 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
10601 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
10602 objects to objects.h
10603 [Steve Henson]
10604
10605 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
10606 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
10607 [Steve Henson]
10608
10609 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
10610 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
10611
10612 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
10613 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
10614 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
10615
10616 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
10617 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10618 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10619
10620 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
10621 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
10622 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
10623
10624
10625 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
10626
10627 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
10628 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
10629 [Ben Laurie]
10630
10631 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
10632 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
10633 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
10634 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
10635 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
10636
10637 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
10638 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
10639 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
10640 document.
10641 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10642
10643 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
10644 Malloc, Free.
10645 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
10646
10647 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
10648 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10649
10650 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
10651 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
10652 if someone would make that last step automatic.
10653 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
10654
10655 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
10656 [Ben Laurie]
10657
10658 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
10659 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
10660 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
10661 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
10662 [Steve Henson]
10663
10664 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
10665 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
10666 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
10667 [Steve Henson]
10668
10669 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
10670 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
10671 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
10672 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
10673 installed as `perl').
10674 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10675
10676 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
10677 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10678
10679 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
10680 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
10681 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
10682 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
10683 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
10684 [Steve Henson]
10685
10686 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
10687 [Ben Laurie]
10688
10689 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
10690 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
10691 is horrible: I feel ill....
10692 [Steve Henson]
10693
10694 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
10695 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
10696 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
10697 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
10698 [Steve Henson]
10699
10700 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
10701 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10702
10703 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
10704 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
10705 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
10706 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10707
10708 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
10709 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
10710 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
10711 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
10712 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
10713 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
10714 openssl_bio.xs.
10715 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10716
10717 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
10718 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10719
10720 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
10721 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
10722
10723 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
10724 [Ben Laurie]
10725
10726 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
10727 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
10728 in CRLs.
10729 [Steve Henson]
10730
10731 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
10732 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
10733 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
10734 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
10735 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
10736 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
10737 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
10738 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
10739 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
10740 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
10741 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10742
10743 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
10744 [Ben Laurie]
10745
10746 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
10747 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
10748 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
10749 for linking it into DSOs.
10750 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10751
10752 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
10753 Fixed.
10754 [Ben Laurie]
10755
10756 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
10757 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
10758 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
10759 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
10760 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
10761 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10762
10763 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
10764 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
10765 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
10766 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
10767 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
10768 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
10769 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10770
10771 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
10772 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
10773 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
10774 encryption.
10775 [Ben Laurie]
10776
10777 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
10778 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
10779 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
10780 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
10781 [Steve Henson]
10782
10783 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
10784 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
10785 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
10786 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
10787 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
10788 field as blank.
10789 [Steve Henson]
10790
10791 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
10792 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
10793 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
10794 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
10795 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10796
10797 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
10798 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
10799 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10800
10801 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
10802 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10803
10804 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
10805 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
10806 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
10807 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
10808 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
10809 [Steve Henson]
10810
10811 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
10812 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
10813 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
10814 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
10815 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
10816 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
10817 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
10818 [Ben Laurie]
10819
10820 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
10821 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
10822 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
10823 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
10824 [Ben Laurie]
10825
10826 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
10827 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
10828
10829 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
10830 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
10831 [Steve Henson]
10832
10833 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
10834 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
10835 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
10836 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
10837 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
10838 (e.g. s_server).
10839 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
10840 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
10841 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
10842 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
10843 no way to reconfigure them.
10844 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
10845 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
10846 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
10847 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
10848 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
10849 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10850
10851 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
10852 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
10853 recognized by the users.
10854 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10855
10856 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
10857 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
10858 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
10859 already masked variable.
10860 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10861
10862 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
10863 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10864
10865 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
10866 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
10867 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
10868 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10869
10870 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
10871 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
10872 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10873
10874 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
10875 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
10876 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
10877 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
10878 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
10879 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
10880 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
10881 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
10882 now, too.
10883 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10884
10885 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
10886 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
10887 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10888
10889 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
10890 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
10891 config file.
10892 [Steve Henson]
10893
10894 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
10895 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10896
10897 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
10898 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
10899 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
10900 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
10901 [Ben Laurie]
10902
10903 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
10904 [Steve Henson]
10905
10906 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
10907 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10908
10909 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10910 [Ben Laurie]
10911
10912 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10913 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10914 [Steve Henson]
10915
10916 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10917 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10918 [Steve Henson]
10919
10920 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10921 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10922 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10923 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10924 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10925 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10926 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10927 Ben Laurie]
10928
10929 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10930 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10931
10932 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10933 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10934 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10935 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10936 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10937
10938 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10939 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10940 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10941 [Steve Henson]
10942
10943 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10944 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10945 an example.
10946 [Steve Henson]
10947
10948 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10949 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10950 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10951
10952 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10953 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10954 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10955 build instructions.
10956 [Steve Henson]
10957
10958 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10959 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10960 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10961 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10962 [Steve Henson]
10963
10964 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10965 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10966 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10967 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10968 [Ben Laurie]
10969
10970 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10971 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10972 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10973 so it wasn't spotted.
10974 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10975
10976 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10977 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10978 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10979 vectors if you have them.
10980 [Ben Laurie]
10981
10982 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10983 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10984 [Ben Laurie]
10985
10986 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10987 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10988 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10989 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10990 If you do a:
10991 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10992 it will update them.
10993 [Steve Henson]
10994
10995 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10996 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10997 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10998 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10999 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
11000 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
11001 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
11002 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11003
11004 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
11005 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
11006 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
11007 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
11008 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
11009 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11010 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11011 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11012 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11013 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11014
11015 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11016 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11017 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11018 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11019 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11020 [Steve Henson]
11021
11022 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11023 INTEGER code.
11024 [Steve Henson]
11025
11026 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11027 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11028
11029 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11030 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11031
11032 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11033 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11034 [Ben Laurie]
11035
11036 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11037 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11038
11039 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11040 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11041
11042 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11043 [Steve Henson]
11044
11045 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11046 few typos.
11047 [Steve Henson]
11048
11049 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11050 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11051 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11052 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11053
11054 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11055 [Steve Henson]
11056
11057 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11058 [Steve Henson]
11059
11060 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11061 [Steve Henson]
11062
11063 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11064 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11065 [Steve Henson]
11066
11067 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11068 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11069 CA extensions.
11070 [Steve Henson]
11071
11072 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11073 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11074 [Steve Henson]
11075
11076 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11077 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11078 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11079 [Steve Henson]
11080
11081 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11082 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11083 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11084 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11085 properly to be processed.
11086 [Steve Henson]
11087
11088 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11089 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11090 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11091 [Ben Laurie]
11092
11093 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11094 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11095
11096 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11097 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11098 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11099 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11100 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11101 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11102 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11103 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11104 or delete all the .err files.
11105 [Steve Henson]
11106
11107 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
11108 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
11109 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
11110 to regenerate it if needed.
11111 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
11112 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
11113
11114 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
11115 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11116
11117 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
11118 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
11119 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
11120 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
11121 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
11122 [Steve Henson]
11123
11124 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
11125 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11126
11127 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
11128 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11129
11130 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
11131 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
11132 error, but didn't set one).
11133 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11134
11135 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
11136 [Ben Laurie]
11137
11138 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
11139 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
11140 [Steve Henson]
11141
11142 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
11143 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
11144
11145 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
11146 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
11147 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
11148 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
11149 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
11150 OID is not part of the table.
11151 [Steve Henson]
11152
11153 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
11154 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
11155 [Ben Laurie]
11156
11157 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
11158 [Ben Laurie]
11159
11160 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
11161 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
11162 was "1234").
11163 [Steve Henson]
11164
11165 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
11166 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
11167
11168 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
11169 NULL pointers.
11170 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11171
11172 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
11173 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11174
11175 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
11176 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11177
11178 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
11179 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11180
11181 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
11182 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
11183 [Ben Laurie]
11184
11185 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
11186 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
11187 [Steve Henson]
11188
11189 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
11190 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11191
11192 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
11193 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11194
11195 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
11196 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11197
11198 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
11199 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11200
11201 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
11202 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
11203 unused in the certificate verification process.
11204 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11205
11206 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
11207 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
11208 [Steve Henson]
11209
11210 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
11211 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
11212 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
11213
11214 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
11215 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
11216 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
11217 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
11218 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
11219
11220 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
11221 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
11222 [Steve Henson]
11223
11224 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
11225 [Steve Henson]
11226
11227 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
11228 [Paul Sutton]
11229
11230 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
11231 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
11232
11233 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
11234 [Ben Laurie]
11235
11236 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
11237 [Ben Laurie]
11238
11239 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
11240 [Ben Laurie]
11241
11242 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
11243 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
11244 other error libraries.
11245 [Steve Henson]
11246
11247 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
11248 [Steve Henson]
11249
11250 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
11251 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
11252 be read in.
11253 [Steve Henson]
11254
11255 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
11256 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
11257 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
11258 the new set of documenation files.
11259 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11260
11261 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
11262 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
11263 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
11264 number of arguments.
11265 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
11266
11267 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
11268 [Ben Laurie]
11269
11270 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
11271 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
11272 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11273
11274 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
11275 [Ben Laurie]
11276
11277 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
11278 nextstep
11279 ncr-scde
11280 unixware-2.0
11281 unixware-2.0-pentium
11282 sco5-cc.
11283 [Ben Laurie]
11284
11285 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
11286 before they are needed.
11287 [Ben Laurie]
11288
11289 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
11290 [Ben Laurie]
11291
11292
11293 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
11294
11295 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
11296 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
11297 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11298
11299 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
11300 [Paul Sutton]
11301
11302 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
11303 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
11304 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11305
11306 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
11307 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
11308 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
11309
11310 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
11311 when "ssleay" is still not found.
11312 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11313
11314 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
11315 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
11316
11317 *) Updated the README file.
11318 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11319
11320 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
11321 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
11322 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11323
11324 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
11325 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
11326 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11327
11328 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
11329 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
11330 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
11331 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
11332 o removed obsolete TODO file
11333 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
11334 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11335
11336 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
11337 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
11338 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
11339 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
11340 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
11341 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
11342 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11343
11344 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
11345 [Mark J. Cox]
11346
11347 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
11348 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
11349 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
11350 summer 1998.
11351 [The OpenSSL Project]
11352
11353
11354 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
11355
11356 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
11357 [Eric A. Young]
11358
11359 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
11360 [Eric A. Young]
11361
11362 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
11363 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
11364 [Eric A. Young]
11365
11366 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
11367 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
11368 available).
11369 [Eric A. Young]
11370
11371 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
11372 binary structures
11373 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
11374
11375 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
11376 [Eric A. Young]
11377
11378 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
11379 [Eric A. Young]
11380
11381 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
11382 [Eric A. Young]
11383
11384 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
11385 [Eric A. Young]
11386
11387 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
11388 [Eric A. Young]
11389
11390 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
11391 [Eric A. Young]
11392
11393 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
11394 [Eric A. Young]
11395
11396 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
11397 [Eric A. Young]
11398
11399 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
11400 [Eric A. Young]
11401
11402 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
11403 [Eric A. Young]
11404
11405 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
11406 [Eric A. Young]
11407
11408 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
11409 [Eric A. Young]
11410
11411 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
11412 [Eric A. Young]
11413
11414 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
11415 [Eric A. Young]
11416
11417 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
11418 [Eric A. Young]
11419
11420 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
11421 [Eric A. Young]
11422
11423 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
11424 [Eric A. Young]
11425
11426 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
11427 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
11428 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
11429 [Eric A. Young]
11430
11431 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
11432 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
11433 [Eric A. Young]
11434
11435 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
11436 [Eric A. Young]
11437
11438 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
11439 [Eric A. Young]
11440
11441 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
11442 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
11443 [Eric A. Young]
11444
11445 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
11446 [Eric A. Young]
11447
11448 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
11449 [Eric A. Young]
11450
11451 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
11452 bytes sent in the client random.
11453 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
11454
