5 Changes between 0.9.8k and 1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
8 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
9 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
10 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
11 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
12 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
13 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
14 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
15 [Steve Henson]
16
17 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
18 OPENSSL_asc2uni the original names were too generic and cause name
19 clashes on Netware.
20 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
21
22 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
23 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
24
25 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
26 be used on C++.
27 [Steve Henson]
28
29 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
30 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
31 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
32 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
33 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
34 attempting to work them out.
35 [Steve Henson]
36
37 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
38 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
39 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
40 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
41 [Steve Henson]
42
43 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
44 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
45 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
46 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
47 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
48 [Steve Henson]
49
50 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
51 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
52 you can do:
53
54 openssl sha256 foo
55
56 as well as:
57
58 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
59
60 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
61
62 [Steve Henson]
63
64 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
65 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
66
67 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
68 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
69
70 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
71 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
72 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
73 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
74 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
75 [Steve Henson]
76
77 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
78 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
79 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
80 [Steve Henson]
81
82 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
83 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
84 [Steve Henson]
85
86 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
87 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
88
89 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
90 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
91 [Steve Henson]
92
93 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
94 [Ben Laurie]
95
96 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
97 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
98 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
99 CONF_VALUE.
100 [Ben Laurie]
101
102 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
103 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
104 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
105 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
106 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
107 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
108 [Steve Henson]
109
110 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
111 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
112
113 This work was sponsored by Google.
114 [Steve Henson]
115
116 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
117 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
118 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
119 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
120 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
121 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
122 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
123 default.
124
125 This work was sponsored by Google.
126 [Steve Henson]
127
128 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
129
130 This work was sponsored by Google.
131 [Steve Henson]
132
133 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
134 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
135 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
136 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
137
138 This work was sponsored by Google.
139 [Steve Henson]
140
141 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
142 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
143 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
144 CRL functionality in future.
145
146 This work was sponsored by Google.
147 [Steve Henson]
148
149 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
150
151 This work was sponsored by Google.
152 [Steve Henson]
153
154 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
155 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
156
157 This work was sponsored by Google.
158 [Steve Henson]
159
160 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
161 and URI types are currently supported.
162
163 This work was sponsored by Google.
164 [Steve Henson]
165
166 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
167 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
168 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
169 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
170 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
171 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
172 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
173 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
174
175 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
176 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
177 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
178
179 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
180 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
181 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
182 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
183
184 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
185 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
186 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
187 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
188 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
189 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
190 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
191 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
192 of &errno.)
193 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
194
195 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
196 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
197 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
198
199 This work was sponsored by Google.
200 [Steve Henson]
201
202 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
203 [Ben Laurie]
204
205 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
206 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
207 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
208 [Ben Laurie]
209
210 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
211 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
212 [Nick Mathewson]
213
214 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
215 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
216 [Ben Laurie]
217
218 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
219 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
220 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
221 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
222 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
223 content types and variants.
224 [Steve Henson]
225
226 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
227 [Steve Henson]
228
229 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
230 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
231 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
232 files from the associated perl scripts.
233 [Steve Henson]
234
235 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
236 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
237 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
238
239 *) s390x assembler pack.
240 [Andy Polyakov]
241
242 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
243 "family."
244 [Andy Polyakov]
245
246 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
247 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
248 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
249 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
250 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
251 to use. For example, specify an option
252
253 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
254
255 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
256 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
257 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
258 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
259 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
260 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
261
262 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
263 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
264 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
265 return non-zero for success.
266
267 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
268 by using
269
270 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
271 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
272
273 where
274
275 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
276 void *arg;
277
278 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
279 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
280 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
281 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
282 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
283 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
284 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
285 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
286 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
287
288 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
289 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
290 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
291 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
292 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
293 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
294
295 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
296 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
297 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
298 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
299 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
300 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
301
302 [Bodo Moeller]
303
304 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
305 MAC.
306
307 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
308
309 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
310 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
311 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
312 supported.
313
314 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
315 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
316 SSL_SESSION.
317
318 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
319 protection in servers so again support should be possible
320 with no application modification.
321
322 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
323 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
324
325 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
326 or server extensions to be examined.
327
328 This work was sponsored by Google.
329 [Steve Henson]
330
331 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
332 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
333 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
334
335 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
336 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
337 ciphersuite support.
338 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
339
340 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
341 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
342 to output in BER and PEM format.
343 [Steve Henson]
344
345 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
346 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
347 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
348 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
349 -macopt options to dgst utility.
350 [Steve Henson]
351
352 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
353 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
354 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
355 utility.
356 [Steve Henson]
357
358 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
359 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
360 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
361 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
362 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
363 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
364 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
365 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
366 enabled again.
367
368 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
369 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
370 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
371 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
372
373 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
374 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
375 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
376 the default order.
377 [Bodo Moeller]
378
379 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
380 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
381 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
382 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
383 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
384 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
385 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
386 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
387 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
388
389 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
390 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
391 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
392 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
393 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
394 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
395 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
396 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
397 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
398 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
399 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
400 kinds of kludges.
401
402 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
403 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
404 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
405
406 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
407 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
408 "CAMELLIA256".
409 [Bodo Moeller]
410
411 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
412 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
413 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
414 [Nils Larsch]
415
416 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
417 it yet and it is largely untested.
418 [Steve Henson]
419
420 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
421 [Nils Larsch]
422
423 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
424 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
425 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
426 [Steve Henson]
427
428 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
429 [Andy Polyakov]
430
431 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
432 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
433 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
434 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
435 [Steve Henson]
436
437 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
438 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
439 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
440 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
441 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
442 [Steve Henson]
443
444 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
445 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
446 [Cryptocom]
447
448 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
449 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
450 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
451 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
452 [Steve Henson]
453
454 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
455 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
456 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
457 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
458 [Steve Henson]
459
460 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
461 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
462 [Steve Henson]
463
464 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
465 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
466 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
467 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
468 [Steve Henson]
469
470 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
471 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
472 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
473 [Steve Henson]
474
475 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
476 utility.
477 [Steve Henson]
478
479 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
480 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
481 [Steve Henson]
482
483 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
484 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
485 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
486 if necessary.
487 [Steve Henson]
488
489 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
490 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
491 to free up any added signature OIDs.
492 [Steve Henson]
493
494 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
495 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
496 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
497 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
498 [Steve Henson]
499
500 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
501 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
502 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
503 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
504 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
505 the array representation useful in a more general context.
506 [Douglas Stebila]
507
508 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
509 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
510 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
511 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
512 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
513
514 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
515 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
516 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
517 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
518 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
519 protocol).
520
521 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
522 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
523 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
524 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
525
526 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
527 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
528 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
529 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
530 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
531
532 aECDH - ECDH cert
533 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
534 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
535
536 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
537 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
538
539 [Bodo Moeller]
540
541 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
542 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
543 [Steve Henson]
544
545 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
546 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
547 [Steve Henson]
548
549 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
550 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
551 functional reference processing.
552 [Steve Henson]
553
554 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
555 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
556 process.
557 [Steve Henson]
558
559 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
560 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
561 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
562 [Steve Henson]
563
564 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
565 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
566 application to support multiple signers.
567 [Steve Henson]
568
569 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
570 digest MAC.
571 [Steve Henson]
572
573 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
574 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
575 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
576 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
577 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
578 [Steve Henson]
579
580 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
581 new API.
582 [Steve Henson]
583
584 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
585 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
586 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
587 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
588 a no op.
589 [Steve Henson]
590
591 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
592 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
593 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
594 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
595 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
596 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
597 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
598 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
599 [Steve Henson]
600
601 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
602 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
603 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
604 between digests and public key types.
605 [Steve Henson]
606
607 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
608 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
609 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
610 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
611 [Steve Henson]
612
613 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
614 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
615 key ASN1 method.
616 [Steve Henson]
617
618 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
619 [Steve Henson]
620
621 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
622 pkeyutl.
623 [Steve Henson]
624
625 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
626 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
627 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
628 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
629 pkey, genpkey.
630 [Steve Henson]
631
632 *) BeOS support.
633 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
634
635 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
636 manual pages.
637 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
638
639 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
640 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
641 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
642 functionality for RSA.
643 [Steve Henson]
644
645 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
646 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
647 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
648 [Steve Henson]
649
650 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
651 key API, doesn't do much yet.
652 [Steve Henson]
653
654 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
655 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
656 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
657 [Steve Henson]
658
659 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
660 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
661 [Douglas Stebila]
662
663 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
664 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
665 [Steve Henson]
666
667 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
668 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
669 type.
670 [Steve Henson]
671
672 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
673 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
674 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
675 structure.
676 [Steve Henson]
677
678 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
679 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
680 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
681 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
682 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
683 of public and private key structures.
684 [Steve Henson]
685
686 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
687 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
688 [Douglas Stebila]
689
690 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
691 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
692 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
693
694 New ciphersuites:
695 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
696 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
697
698 New functions:
699 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
700 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
701 SSL_get_psk_identity
702 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
703
704 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
705
706 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
707 and response verification functionality.
708 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
709
710 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
711 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
712 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
713 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
714 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
715 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
716 server_name extension.
717
718 New functions (subject to change):
719
720 SSL_get_servername()
721 SSL_get_servername_type()
722 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
723
724 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
725
726 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
727 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
728 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
729 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
730 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
731
732 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
733
734 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
735 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
736 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
737 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
738 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
739 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
740 option.
741
742 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
743
744 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
745 [Andy Polyakov]
746
747 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
748 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
749 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
750 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
751 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
752 [Andy Polyakov]
753
754 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
755 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
756 macro.
757 [Bodo Moeller]
758
759 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
760 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
761 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
762 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
763 [Andy Polyakov]
764
765 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
766 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
767 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
768 using the maximum available value.
769 [Steve Henson]
770
771 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
772 in addition to the text details.
773 [Bodo Moeller]
774
775 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
776 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
777 handle several customised structures at all.
778 [Steve Henson]
779
780 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
781 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
782 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
783 [Steve Henson]
784
785 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
786 [Steve Henson]
787
788 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
789 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
790 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
791 [Steve Henson]
792
793 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
794 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
795 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
796 [Nils Larsch]
797
798 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
799 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
800 all fields.
801 [Steve Henson]
802
803 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
804 [Steve Henson]
805
806 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
807 [NTT]
808
809 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [xx XXX xxxx]
810
811 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
812 and restored.
813 [Steve Henson]
814
815 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
816 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
817 other than a simple chain.
818 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
819
820 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
821 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
822 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
823 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
824 [Steve Henson]
825
826 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
827 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
828 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
829 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
830 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
831 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
832 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
833 buffered.
834 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
835
836 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
837 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
838 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
839 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
840 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
841 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
842 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
843
844 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
845 parent structure is freed.
846 [Daniel Mentz]
847
848 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
849 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
850
851 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
852 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
853
854 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
855
856 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
857 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
858 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
859 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
860
861 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
862 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
863 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
864 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
865
866 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
867 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
868 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
869 [Steve Henson]
870
871 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
872 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
873 level.
874 [Steve Henson]
875
876 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
877 to handle some structures.
878 [Steve Henson]
879
880 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
881 for a '\n'
882 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
883
884 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
885 [Matthieu Herrb]
886
887 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
888 [Steve Henson]
889
890 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
891 [Steve Henson]
892
893 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
894 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
895 chosen compiler.
896 [Ben Laurie]
897
898 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
899
900 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
901 (CVE-2008-5077).
902 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
903
904 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
905 [Ben Laurie]
906
907 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
908 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
909 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
910 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
911
912 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
913 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
914
915 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
916 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
917 [Bodo Moeller]
918
919 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
920 s_client and s_server.
921 [Ben Laurie]
922
923 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
924 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
925
926 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
927 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
928
929 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
930 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
931 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
932 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
933 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
934 [Bodo Moeller]
935
936 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
937
938 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
939 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
940 [Nagendra Modadugu]
941
942 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
943 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
944 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
945 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
946
947 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
948 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
949
950 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
951
952 *) Various precautionary measures:
953
954 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
955
956 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
957 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
958 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
959
960 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
961 outside the expected range.
962
963 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
964 builds.
965
966 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
967
968 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
969 the load fails. Useful for distros.
970 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
971
972 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
973 [Steve Henson]
974
975 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
976 [Huang Ying]
977
978 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
979
980 This work was sponsored by Logica.
981 [Steve Henson]
982
983 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
984 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
985 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
986
987 This work was sponsored by Logica.
988 [Steve Henson]
989
990 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
991 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
992 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
993 files.
994 [Steve Henson]
995
996 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
997
998 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
999 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1000 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1001 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1002
1003 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1004 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1005 [Joe Orton]
1006
1007 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1008
1009 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1010 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1011 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1012
1013 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1014
1015 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1016 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1017 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1018 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1019 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1020
1021 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1022 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1023 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1024 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1025 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1026 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1027 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1028
1029 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1030
1031 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1032 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1033 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1034 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1035 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1036
1037 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1038 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1039
1040 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1041 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1042 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1043 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1044 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1045
1046 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1047
1048 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1049 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1050 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1051 sets may exist with different names.
1052 [Steve Henson]
1053
1054 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1055 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1056 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1057 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1058 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1059 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1060 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1061 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1062 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1063 implementation.
1064 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1065
1066 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1067 implemention in the following ways:
1068
1069 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1070 hard coded.
1071
1072 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1073 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1074 ignored for embedded content.
1075
1076 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1077 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1078 [Steve Henson]
1079
1080 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1081 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1082 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1083 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1084
1085 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1086 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1087 [Steve Henson]
1088
1089 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1090 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1091 [Steve Henson]
1092
1093 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1094 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1095 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1096 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1097 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1098 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1099 data.
1100 [Steve Henson]
1101
1102 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1103 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1104 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1105
1106 *) Netware support:
1107
1108 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
1109 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
1110 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1111 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1112 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1113 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
1114 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
1115 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
1116 platform
1117 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
1118 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
1119 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
1120 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
1121 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
1122 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
1123 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1124
1125 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1126 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1127 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1128 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1129 to s_client and s_server.
1130 [Steve Henson]
1131
1132 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1133
1134 *) Fix various bugs:
1135 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1136 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1137 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1138 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1139 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1140
1141 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1142
1143 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1144 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1145 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1146 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1147 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1148 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1149 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1150 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1151 [Andy Polyakov]
1152
1153 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1154 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1155 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1156 Steve Henson]
1157
1158 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1159 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1160 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1161 supported.
1162
1163 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1164 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1165 SSL_SESSION.
1166
1167 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1168 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1169 with no application modification.
1170
1171 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1172 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1173
1174 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1175 or server extensions to be examined.
1176
1177 This work was sponsored by Google.
1178 [Steve Henson]
1179
1180 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1181 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1182 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1183 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1184 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1185 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1186 server_name extension.
1187
1188 New functions (subject to change):
1189
1190 SSL_get_servername()
1191 SSL_get_servername_type()
1192 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
1193
1194 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1195
1196 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1197 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1198 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1199 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1200 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1201
1202 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1203
1204 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1205 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1206 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1207 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1208 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1209 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1210 option.
1211
1212 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1213
1214 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1215 [Steve Henson]
1216
1217 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1218 [Andy Polyakov]
1219
1220 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1221 (which previously caused an internal error).
1222 [Bodo Moeller]
1223
1224 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1225 [Ben Laurie]
1226
1227 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1228 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1229
1230 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1231 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1232 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1233
1234 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1235 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1236 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1237 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1238
1239 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1240 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1241 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1242 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1243
1244 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1245 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1246 information. For detailed background information, see
1247 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1248 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1249 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1250 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1251 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1252 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1253 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1254 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1255 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1256 remove a conditional branch.
1257
1258 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1259 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1260 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1261 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1262 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1263 remains as a deprecated alias.
1264
1265 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1266 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1267 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1268 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1269
1270 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1271 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1272 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1273 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1274 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1275 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1276 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1277 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1278
1279 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1280
1281 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1282 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1283 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1284 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1285 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1286 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1287 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1288 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1289 in a different context.
1290 [Bodo Moeller]
1291
1292 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1293 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1294 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1295 [Bodo Moeller]
1296
1297 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1298 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1299 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1300
1301 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1302
1303 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1304 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1305 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1306 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1307 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1308 [Victor Duchovni]
1309
1310 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1311 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1312 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1313 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1314 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1315 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1316 [Bodo Moeller]
1317
1318 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1319 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1320 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1321 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1322 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1323 [Bodo Moeller]
1324
1325 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1326 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1327
1328 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1329 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1330 Improve header file function name parsing.
1331 [Steve Henson]
1332
1333 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1334 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1335 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
1336
1337 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1338
1339 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1340 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1341 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1342
1343 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1344 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1345
1346 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1347 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1348
1349 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1350 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1351 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1352
1353 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1354 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1355 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1356 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1357 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1358 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1359 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1360 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1361 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1362
1363 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1364 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1365 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1366 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1367 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1368
1369 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1370 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1371 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1372 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1373 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1374 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1375 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1376 multiple values to extend the available space.
1377
1378 [Bodo Moeller]
1379
1380 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1381
1382 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1383 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1384
1385 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1386 [Ben Laurie]
1387
1388 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1389 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1390 undesirable limitations.
1391 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1392
1393 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1394 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1395 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1396 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1397 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1398 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1399 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1400 [Bodo Moeller]
1401
1402 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1403
1404 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1405 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1406 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1407
1408 The latter two were purportedly from
1409 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1410 appear there.
1411
1412 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1413 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1414 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1415 [Bodo Moeller]
1416
1417 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1418 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1419 [Bodo Moeller]
1420
1421 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1422 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1423 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1424 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1425
1426 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1427 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1428 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1429 [NTT]
1430
1431 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1432 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1433 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1434 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1435 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1436 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1437 [Steve Henson]
1438
1439 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1440
1441 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1442 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1443 [Steve Henson]
1444
1445 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1446 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1447
1448 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1449 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1450 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1451 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1452 [Douglas Stebila]
1453
1454 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1455 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1456 [Steve Henson]
1457
1458 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1459 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1460 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1461 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1462 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1463 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1464 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1465 can't be loaded.
1466 [Steve Henson]
1467
1468 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1469 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1470 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1471 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1472 [Steve Henson]
1473
1474 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1475 under VC++ build system.
1476 [Steve Henson]
1477
1478 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1479 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1480 [Richard Levitte]
1481
1482 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1483
1484 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1485 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1486 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1487 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1488 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1489
1490 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1491 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1492 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1493
1494 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1495 [Steve Henson]
1496
1497 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1498 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1499 [Nils Larsch]
1500
1501 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1502 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1503
1504 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1505 [Nick Mathewson]
1506
1507 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1508 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1509
1510 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1511 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1512 [Steve Henson]
1513
1514 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1515 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1516 smime utility.

1518
1519 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1520
1521 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1522 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1523
1524 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1525 [Richard Levitte]
1526
1527 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1528 key into the same file any more.
1529 [Richard Levitte]
1530
1531 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1532 [Andy Polyakov]
1533
1534 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1535 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1536
1537 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1538 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1539 [Richard Levitte]
1540
1541 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1542 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1543 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1544 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1545 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1546 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1547
1548 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1549 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1550 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1551 [Steve Henson]
1552
1553 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1554 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1555 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1556 - add new function for parameter creation
1557 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1558 BN_BLINDING parameters
1559 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1560 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1561 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1562 threads.
1563 [Nils Larsch]
1564
1565 *) Add support for DTLS.
1566 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1567
1568 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1569 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1570 [Walter Goulet]
1571
1572 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1573 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1574 [Nils Larsch]
1575
1576 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1577 the apps/openssl applications.
1578 [Nils Larsch]
1579
1580 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1581 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1582 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1583 [Ben Laurie]
1584
1585 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1586 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1587
1588 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1589 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1590
1591 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1592 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1593 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1594 avoid this algorithm.)
1595
1596 [Bodo Moeller]
1597
1598 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1599 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1600 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1601 [Richard Levitte]
1602
1603 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1604 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1605 [Andy Polyakov]
1606
1607 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1608 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1609 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1610 pod file:
1611
1612 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1613
1614 The blank line is mandatory.
1615
1616 [Steve Henson]
1617
1618 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1619 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1620 sources.
1621 [Steve Henson]
1622
1623 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1624 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1625
1626 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1627 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1628 to support policy checking and print out.
1629 [Steve Henson]
1630
1631 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1632 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1633 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1634 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1635
1636 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1637 [Geoff Thorpe]
1638
1639 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1640 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1641
1642 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1643 implementation contributed by IBM.
1644 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1645
1646 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1647 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1648 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1649 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1650
1651 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1652 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1653
1654 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1655 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1656 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1657 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1658 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1659 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1660 [Steve Henson]
1661
1662 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1663 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1664 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1665 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1666 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1667 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1668 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1669 [Geoff Thorpe]
1670
1671 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1672 [Steve Henson]
1673
1674 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1675 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1676 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1677 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1678 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1679 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1680 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1681 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1682 [Steve Henson]
1683
1684 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1685 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1686 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1687 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1688 [Steve Henson]
1689
1690 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1691 syntax:
1692
1693 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1694 [Steve Henson]
1695
1696 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1697 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1698 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1699 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1700 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1701 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1702 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1703 [Geoff Thorpe]
1704
1705 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1706 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1707 [Geoff Thorpe]
1708
1709 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1710 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1711 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1712 [Steve Henson]
1713
1714 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1715 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1716 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1717 below).
1718 [Geoff Thorpe]
1719
1720 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1721 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1722 [Richard Levitte]
1723
1724 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1725 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1726 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1727 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1728 [Geoff Thorpe]
1729
1730 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1731 initialised value as BN_new().
1732 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1733
1734 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1735 [Steve Henson]
1736
1737 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1738 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1739 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1740 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1741 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1742 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1743 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1744 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1745 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1746 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1747 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1748 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1749 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1750 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1751 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1752
1753 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1754 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1755 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1756 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1757 [Geoff Thorpe]
1758
1759 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1760 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1761 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1762 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1763 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1764 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1765 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1766 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1767 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1768 [Geoff Thorpe]
1769
1770 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1771 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1772 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1773 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1774 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1775 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1776 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1777 [Geoff Thorpe]
1778
1779 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1780 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1781 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1782 these have been updated also.
1783 [Geoff Thorpe]
1784
1785 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1786 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1787 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1788 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1789 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1790 functions.
1791 [Steve Henson]
1792
1793 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1794 structure of type "other".
1795 [Steve Henson]
1796
1797 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1798 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1799 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1800 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1801 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1802 situation in the script.
1803 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1804
1805 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1806 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1807 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1808 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1809 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1810 used as premaster secret.
1811 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1812
1813 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1814 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1815 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1816
1817 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1818 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1819
1820 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1821 control of the error stack.
1822 [Richard Levitte]
1823
1824 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1825 [Richard Levitte]
1826
1827 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1828 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1829 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1830 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1831 [Richard Levitte]
1832
1833 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1834 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1835 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1836 [Richard Levitte]
1837
1838 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1839 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1840 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1841 a memory area.
1842 [Richard Levitte]
1843
1844 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1845 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1846 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1847 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1848 [Richard Levitte]
1849
1850 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1851 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1852 the following flags are defined:
1853
1854 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1855 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1856 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1857 number.
1858
1859 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1860 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1861 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1862 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1863 returns zero.
1864 [Richard Levitte]
1865
1866 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1867 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1868 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1869 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1870 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1871 [Richard Levitte]
1872
1873 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1874 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1875 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1876 [Richard Levitte]
1877
1878 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1879 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1880 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1881 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1882 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1883 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1884 [Richard Levitte]
1885
1886 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1887 req and dirName.
1888 [Steve Henson]
1889
1890 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1891 [Steve Henson]
1892
1893 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1894 [Steve Henson]
1895
1896 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1897 [Steve Henson]
1898
1899 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1900 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1901 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1902 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1903 default implementation more easily.
1904 [Geoff Thorpe]
1905
1906 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1907 in config files.
1908 [Steve Henson]
1909
1910 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1911 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1912 [Richard Levitte]
1913
1914 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1915 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1916 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1917 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1918
1919 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1920 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1921 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1922 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1923 [Steve Henson]
1924
1925 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1926 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1927 to do it.
1928 [Richard Levitte]
1929
1930 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1931 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1932 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1933 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1934 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1935 scalar * generator).
1936 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1937
1938 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1939 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1940 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1941 correctly.
1942 [Steve Henson]
1943
1944 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1945 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1946 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1947 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1948 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1949 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1950 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1951 linker additions, eg;
1952 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1953 [Geoff Thorpe]
1954
1955 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1956 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1957 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1958 [Geoff Thorpe]
1959
1960 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1961 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1962 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1963 via PR#459)
1964 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1965
1966 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1967 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1968 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1969 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1970 [Geoff Thorpe]
1971
1972 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1973 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1974 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1975 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1976 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1977 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1978 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1979 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1980 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1981 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1982
1983 Example for using the new callback interface:
1984
1985 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1986 void *my_arg = ...;
1987 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1988
1989 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1990
1991 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1992 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1993 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1994 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1995 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1996 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1997 */
1998
1999 [Geoff Thorpe]
2000
2001 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2002 available to TLS with the number defined in
2003 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2004 [Richard Levitte]
2005
2006 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2007 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2008
2009 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2010 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2011 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2012 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2013
2014 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2015 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2016
2017 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2018 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2019 well.
2020 [Richard Levitte]
2021
2022 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2023 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2024 [Richard Levitte]
2025
2026 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2027 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2028 and a macro that behave like
2029 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2030
2031 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2032 [Nils Larsch]
2033
2034 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2035 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2036 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2037 if applicable.
2038 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2039
2040 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2041 [Bodo Moeller]
2042
2043 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2044 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2045 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2046 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2047 directory engines/.
2048 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2049 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2050 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2051 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2052 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2053 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2054 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2055 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2056
2057 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2058 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2059 [Richard Levitte]
2060
2061 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2062 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2063
2064 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2065 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2066 files while avoiding the low level API.
2067
2068 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2069 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2070 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2071 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2072
2073 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2074 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2075 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2076 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2077 instead of the low level API.
2078 [Steve Henson]
2079
2080 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2081 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2082 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2083 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2084 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2085 PKCS#7 code.
2086
2087 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2088 down to the template encoder.
2089 [Steve Henson]
2090
2091 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2092 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2093 [Bodo Moeller]
2094
2095 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2096 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2097 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2098 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2099
2100 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2101 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2102
2103 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2104 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2105
2106 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2107 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2108 [Bodo Moeller]
2109
2110 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2111 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2112 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2113 [Bodo Moeller]
2114
2115 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2116 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2117
2118 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2119 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2120
2121 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2122 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2123 New EC_METHOD:
2124
2125 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2126
2127 New API functions:
2128
2129 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2130 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2131 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2132 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2133 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2134 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2135
2136 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2137 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2138 enable it).
2139
2140 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2141 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2142 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2143 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2144 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2145 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2146 various internal method names.)
2147
2148 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2149 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2150
2151 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2152 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2153
2154 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2155 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2156
2157 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2158 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2159 methods are undefined.
2160
2161 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2162 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2163
2164 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2165 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2166 length of the modulus.
2167
2168 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2169 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2170
2171 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2172 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2173
2174 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2175 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2176
2177 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2178 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2179 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2180
2181 BN_GF2m_add
2182 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2183 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2184 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2185 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2186 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
2187 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2188 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2189 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2190 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2191
2192 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2193 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2194
2195 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2196 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2197 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2198 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2199 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2200 where
2201 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2202 This applies to the following functions:
2203
2204 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
2205 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
2206 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
2207 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2208 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2209 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
2210 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2211 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2212 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
2213 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
2214
2215 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2216
2217 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
2218 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
2219
2220 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2221
2222 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2223 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2224 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2225 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2226 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2227
2228 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2229 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2230
2231 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2232 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2233 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2234
2235 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2236 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2237
2238 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2239 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2240 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2241 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2242 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2243
2244 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2245 functions
2246 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2247 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2248 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2249 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2250 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2251 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2252 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2253 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2254 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2255 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2256 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2257 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2258
2259 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2260 functions
2261 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
2262 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2263 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2264 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2265 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2266
2267 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2268 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2269 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2270 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2271
2272 *) Add functions
2273 EC_POINT_point2bn()
2274 EC_POINT_bn2point()
2275 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2276 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2277 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2278 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2279 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2280
2281 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2282 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2283 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2284 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2285 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2286 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2287 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2288 adding different types of curves.
2289 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2290
2291 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2292 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2293 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2294 [Bodo Moeller]
2295
2296 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2297 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2298
2299 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2300 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2301 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2302 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2303
2304 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2305
2306 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2307 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2308
2309 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2310 library. Most notably,
2311 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2312 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2313 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2314 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2315 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2316 extracted before the specific public key;
2317 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2318 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2319
2320 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2321 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2322 function
2323 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2324 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2325 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2326 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2327 accessed via
2328 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2329 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2330 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2331
2332 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2333 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2334 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2335 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2336 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2337 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2338 differing sizes.
2339 [Richard Levitte]
2340
2341 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2342
2343 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2344 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2345 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2346 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2347 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2348 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2349 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2350 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2351 in a different context.
2352 [Bodo Moeller]
2353
2354 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2355
2356 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2357 sensitive data.
2358 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2359
2360 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2361 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2362 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2363 [Bodo Moeller]
2364
2365 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2366 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2367 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2368 [Victor Duchovni]
2369
2370 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2371 [Steve Henson]
2372
2373 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2374 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2375 [Steve Henson]
2376
2377 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2378 run algorithm test programs.
2379 [Steve Henson]
2380
2381 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2382 [Steve Henson]
2383
2384 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2385 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2386 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2387 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2388 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2389 [Bodo Moeller]
2390
2391 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2392 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2393 [Steve Henson]
2394
2395 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2396
2397 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2398 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2399 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2400
2401 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2402 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2403
2404 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2405 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2406
2407 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2408 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2409 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2410
2411 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2412 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2413 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2414 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2415 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2416 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2417 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2418 [Bodo Moeller]
2419
2420 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2421
2422 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2423 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2424
2425 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2426 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2427 undesirable limitations.
2428 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2429
2430 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2431
2432 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2433 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2434 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2435
2436 The latter two were purportedly from
2437 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2438 appear there.
2439
2440 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2441 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2442 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2443 [Bodo Moeller]
2444
2445 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2446 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2447 [Bodo Moeller]
2448
2449 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2450
2451 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2452 module in FIPS mode.
2453 [Steve Henson]
2454
2455 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2456 [Steve Henson]
2457
2458 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2459 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2460 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2461 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2462 [Steve Henson]
2463
2464 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2465
2466 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2467 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2468 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2469 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2470 the difference induced by this change.
2471 [Andy Polyakov]
2472
2473 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2474
2475 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2476 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2477 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2478 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2479 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2480
2481 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2482 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2483 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2484
2485 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2486 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2487 [Steve Henson]
2488
2489 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2490 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2491 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2492 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2493 biased k.)
2494 [Bodo Moeller]
2495
2496 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2497 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2498 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2499 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2500 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2501
2502 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2503 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2504 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2505 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2506 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2507 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2508
2509 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2510
2511 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2512 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2513 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2514 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2515 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2516 [Bodo Moeller]
2517
2518 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2519 clients need.
2520 [Steve Henson]
2521
2522 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2523 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2524 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2525 [Steve Henson]
2526
2527 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2528 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2529 structures constant.
2530 [Steve Henson]
2531
2532 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2533
2534 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2535 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
2536
2537 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2538 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2539 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2540 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2541 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2542 some needed definitions.
2543 [Steve Henson]
2544
2545 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2546 [Ulf Möller]
2547
2548 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2549 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2550 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2551 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2552 [Richard Levitte]
2553
2554 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2555
2556 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2557 server and client random values. Previously
2558 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2559 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2560
2561 This change has negligible security impact because:
2562
2563 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2564 data.
2565
2566 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2567 handshake.
2568
2569 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2570 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2571 values.
2572
2573 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2574 to our attention.
2575
2576 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2577
2578 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2579 [Ulf Möller]
2580
2581 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2582 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2583 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2584
2585 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2586 [Steve Henson]
2587
2588 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2589 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2590 [Andy Polyakov]
2591
2592 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2593 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2594 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2595
2596 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2597 [Steve Henson]
2598
2599 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2600 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2601 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2602 certificates.
2603 [Steve Henson]
2604
2605 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2606 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2607 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2608 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2609
2610 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2611 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2612 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2613 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2614 been given)
2615 [Richard Levitte]
2616
2617 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2618
2619 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2620 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2621 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2622 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2623 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2624 [Steve Henson]
2625
2626 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2627 [Steve Henson]
2628
2629 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2630 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2631
2632 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2633 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2634 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2635 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2636 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2637 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2638 rather than being initialized to 1.
2639 [Steve Henson]
2640
2641 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2642
2643 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2644 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2645 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2646
2647 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2648 (CVE-2004-0112)
2649 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2650
2651 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2652 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2653 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2654 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2655 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2656 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2657 [Richard Levitte]
2658
2659 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2660 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2661 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2662 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2663 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2664 for these cases.
2665 [Steve Henson]
2666
2667 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2668 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2669 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2670 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2671 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2672 [Steve Henson]
2673
2674 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2675 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2676 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2677 < 0.9.7.
2678 [Steve Henson]
2679
2680 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2681 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2682
2683 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2684 [Steve Henson]
2685
2686 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2687
2688 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2689
2690 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2691 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2692
2693 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2694
2695 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2696 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2697
2698 [Steve Henson]
2699
2700 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2701 exiting on the first error in a request.
2702 [Steve Henson]
2703
2704 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2705 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2706 specifications.
2707 [Steve Henson]
2708
2709 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2710 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2711 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2712 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2713
2714 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2715 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2716 [Richard Levitte]
2717
2718 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2719 blocks during encryption.
2720 [Richard Levitte]
2721
2722 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2723 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2724 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2725 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2726 certain size.
2727 [Steve Henson]
2728
2729 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2730 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2731 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2732 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2733 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2734 parser.
2735 [Steve Henson]
2736
2737 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2738
2739 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2740 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2741 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2742 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2743 [Bodo Moeller]
2744
2745 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2746 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2747 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2748 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2749 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2750
2751 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2752 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2753 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2754 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2755 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2756 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2757 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2758 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2759 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2760 [Bodo Moeller]
2761
2762 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2763 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2764 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2765 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2766 [Geoff Thorpe]
2767
2768 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2769 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2770 [Ulf Moeller]
2771
2772 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2773
2774 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2775 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2776 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2777 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2778 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2779
2780 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2781 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2782 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2783
2784 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2785 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2786 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2787 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2788 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2789
2790 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2791 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2792 used by default when no-err is given.
2793 [Richard Levitte]
2794
2795 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2796 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2797
2798 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2799 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2800 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2801 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2802 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2803
2804 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2805 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2806 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2807 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2808
2809 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2810
2811 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2812
2813 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2814
2815 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2816 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2817 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2818 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2819 root is omitted).
2820 [Steve Henson]
2821
2822 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2823 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2824
2825 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2826 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2827 [Steve Henson]
2828
2829 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2830 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2831 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2832 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2833 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2834
2835 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2836 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2837 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2838 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2839 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2840 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2841 followup to PR #377.
2842 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2843
2844 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2845 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2846 [Andy Polyakov]
2847
2848 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2849 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2850 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2851 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2852
2853 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2854
2855 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2856 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
2857
2858 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2859 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2860 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2861 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2862 client and server.
2863 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2864 PR #377.
2865 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2866
2867 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2868 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2869 removed entirely.
2870 [Richard Levitte]
2871
2872 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2873 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2874 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2875 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2876 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2877 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2878 of libcrypto.
2879 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2880 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2881 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2882 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2883 have to be made anyway).
2884 [Richard Levitte]
2885
2886 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2887 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2888 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2889 [Steve Henson]
2890
2891 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2892 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2893 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2894 [Richard Levitte]
2895
2896 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2897 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2898 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2899
2900 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2901 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2902 edit numbers of the version.
2903 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2904
2905 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2906 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2907 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2908
2909 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2910 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2911
2912 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2913 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2914 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2915
2916 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2917 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2918
2919 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2920 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2921
2922 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2923 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2924
2925 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2926 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2927
2928 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2929 overflows.
2930 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2931
2932 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2933 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2934 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2935
2936 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2937 representations in a platform independent manner.
2938 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2939
2940 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2941 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2942 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2943
2944 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2945 indents.
2946 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2947
2948 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2949 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2950
2951 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2952 full. Fixed.
2953 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2954
2955 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2956 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2957 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2958
2959 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2960 unconditionally).
2961 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2962
2963 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2964 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2965
2966 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2967 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2968
2969 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2970 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2971
2972 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2973 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2974
2975 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2976 CBCParameter.
2977 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2978
2979 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2980 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2981
2982 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2983 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2984
2985 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2986 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2987 exploitable.
2988 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2989
2990 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2991 the 0.9.6 release series:
2992
2993 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2994 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2995 (CVE-2002-0657)
2996 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2997
2998 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2999 [Richard Levitte]
3000
3001 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
3002 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
3003
3004 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
3005 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
3006
3007 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3008 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3009 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3010 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3011
3012 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3013 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3014 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3015
3016 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3017 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3018 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3019 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3020
3021 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3022 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3023 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3024 some local tweaks:
3025
3026 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3027 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3028 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3029 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3030 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3031 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3032 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3033 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3034 done
3035
3036 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3037 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3038 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3039 [Richard Levitte]
3040
3041 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3042 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3043 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3044 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3045 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3046
3047 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3048 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3049
3050 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3051 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3052 [Richard Levitte]
3053
3054 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3055 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3056 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3057 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3058 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3059 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3060 [Steve Henson]
3061
3062 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3063 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3064 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3065 [Steve Henson]
3066
3067 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3068 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3069 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3070
3071 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3072 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3073 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3074 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3075 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3076 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3077 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3078 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3079
3080 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3081 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3082 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3083 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3084 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3085 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3086 [Steve Henson]
3087
3088 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3089 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3090 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3091 declaration has been changed from
3092 int (*cb)()
3093 into
3094 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3095 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3096 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3097 has been changed into
3098 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3099
3100 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3101 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3102 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3103
3104 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3105 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3106
3107 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3108 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3109 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3110 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3111 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3112 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3113 always load it have also been added.
3114 [Steve Henson]
3115
3116 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3117 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3118 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3119
3120 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3121
3122 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3123 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3124 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3125
3126 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3127 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3128 command line option can be used to specify an
3129 alternative file.
3130 [Steve Henson]
3131
3132 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3133 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3134 [Steve Henson]
3135
3136 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3137 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3138 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3139 [Steve Henson]
3140
3141 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3142 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3143 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3144 to work with the new engine framework.
3145 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3146
3147 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3148 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3149 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3150 to work with the new engine framework.
3151 [Richard Levitte]
3152
3153 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3154 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3155 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3156
3157 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3158 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3159
3160 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3161 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3162 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3163 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3164 FORMAT_IISSGC.
3165 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3166
3167 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3168 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3169
3170 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3171 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3172
3173 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3174 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3175 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3176 [Ben Laurie]
3177
3178 *) Add new functions
3179 ERR_peek_last_error
3180 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3181 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3182 These are similar to
3183 ERR_peek_error
3184 ERR_peek_error_line
3185 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3186 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3187 still in the error queue.
3188 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3189
3190 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3191 like:
3192 default_algorithms = ALL
3193 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3194 [Steve Henson]
3195
3196 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3197 [Steve Henson]
3198
3199 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3200 [Steve Henson]
3201
3202 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3203 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3204 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3205 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3206
3207 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3208 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3209
3210 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3211 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3212
3213 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3214 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3215 [Bodo Moeller]
3216
3217 *) New functions/macros
3218
3219 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3220 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3221 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3222 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3223
3224 to request calling a callback function
3225
3226 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3227 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3228
3229 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3230 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3231 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3232 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3233 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3234 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3235 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3236 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3237 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3238 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3239
3240 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3241 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3242 [Bodo Moeller]
3243
3244 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3245 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3246 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3247 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3248 the configuration scripts.
3249
3250 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3251 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3252 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3253
3254 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3255 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3256
3257 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3258 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3259 when reusing an existing buffer.
3260 [Bodo Moeller]
3261
3262 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3263 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3264 [Steve Henson]
3265
3266 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3267 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3268 [Ben Laurie]
3269
3270 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3271 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3272 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3273 has the same effect.
3274 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3275
3276 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3277 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3278 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3279 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3280 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3281 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3282 exception.
3283
3284 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3285 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3286 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3287 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3288
3289 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3290 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3291 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3292 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3293
3294 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3295 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3296 won't work.
3297
3298 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3299 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3300 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3301 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3302 default), and then completely removed.
3303 [Richard Levitte]
3304
3305 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3306 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3307 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3308 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3309 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3310 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3311 particular extension is supported.
3312 [Steve Henson]
3313
3314 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3315 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3316 [Steve Henson]
3317
3318 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3319 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3320 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3321 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3322 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3323 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3324 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3325 requires the destination to be valid.
3326
3327 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3328 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3329 [Steve Henson]
3330
3331 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3332 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3333 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3334 [Bodo Moeller]
3335
3336 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3337 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3338
3339 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3340 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3341 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3342 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3343 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3344 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3345 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3346 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3347 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3348 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3349 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3350 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3351 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3352 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3353 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3354 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3355 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3356 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3357 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3358 the new code.
3359 [Geoff Thorpe]
3360
3361 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3362 [Steve Henson]
3363
3364 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3365 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3366 become part of libeay.num as well.
3367 [Richard Levitte]
3368
3369 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3370 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3371 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3372 false once a handshake has been completed.
3373 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3374 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3375 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3376 client has followed the request.)
3377 [Bodo Moeller]
3378
3379 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3380 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3381 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3382 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3383
3384 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3385 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3386 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3387 [Bodo Moeller]
3388
3389 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3390 [Steve Henson]
3391
3392 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3393 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3394 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3395 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3396
3397 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3398 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3399 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3400
3401 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3402 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3403 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3404 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3405 [Geoff Thorpe]
3406
3407 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3408 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3409 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3410 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3411 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3412 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3413 [Geoff Thorpe]
3414
3415 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3416 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3417 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3418 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3419 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3420 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3421 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3422 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3423 [Geoff Thorpe]
3424
3425 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3426 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3427 [Geoff Thorpe]
3428
3429 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3430 [Ben Laurie]
3431
3432 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3433 md_data void pointer.
3434 [Ben Laurie]
3435
3436 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3437 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3438 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3439 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3440 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3441 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3442 [Ben Laurie]
3443
3444 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3445 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3446 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3447 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3448 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3449 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3450 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3451 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3452 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3453 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3454 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3455 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3456 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3457 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3458 rather than letting it slide.
3459
3460 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3461 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3462 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3463 [Geoff Thorpe]
3464
3465 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3466 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3467 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3468 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3469 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3470 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3471 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3472 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3473 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3474 [Geoff Thorpe]
3475
3476 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3477 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3478 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3479 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3480 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3481
3482 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3483 [Geoff Thorpe]
3484
3485 *) Add EVP test program.
3486 [Ben Laurie]
3487
3488 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3489 [Ben Laurie]
3490
3491 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3492 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3493 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3494 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3495 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3496 [Steve Henson]
3497
3498 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3499 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3500 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3501 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3502 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3503 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3504 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3505
3506 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3507 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3508 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3509 Usage example:
3510
3511 EVP_MD_CTX md;
3512
3513 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3514 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3515 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3516 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3517 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3518
3519 [Ben Laurie]
3520
3521 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3522 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3523 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3524 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3525 anyway): E.g.,
3526
3527 des_key_schedule ks;
3528
3529 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3530 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3531
3532 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3533 [Ben Laurie]
3534
3535 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3536 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3537 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3538 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3539 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3540 functions prevents this.
3541 [Steve Henson]
3542
3543 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3544 [Ben Laurie]
3545
3546 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3547 correct _ecb suffix.
3548 [Ben Laurie]
3549
3550 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3551 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3552 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3553 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3554 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3555 [Steve Henson]
3556
3557 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3558 [Richard Levitte]
3559
3560 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3561 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3562 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3563 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3564
3565 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3566 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3567
3568 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3569 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3570 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3571 via Richard Levitte]
3572
3573 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3574 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3575 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3576 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3577 [Geoff Thorpe]
3578
3579 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3580 Before:
3581 encrypt
3582 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3583 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
3584 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
3585 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
3586 decrypt
3587 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
3588 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
3589 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
3590 After:
3591 encrypt
3592 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
3593 decrypt
3594 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
3595 [Ben Laurie]
3596
3597 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3598 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3599
3600 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3601 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3602 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3603 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3604 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3605 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3606 [Steve Henson]
3607
3608 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3609 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3610 [Richard Levitte]
3611
3612 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3613 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3614 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3615 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3616
3617 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3618 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3619 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3620 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3621 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3622 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3623 callback.
3624 [Richard Levitte]
3625
3626 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3627 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3628 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3629 and interrupts/cancellations.
3630 [Richard Levitte]
3631
3632 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3633 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3634 [Steve Henson]
3635
3636 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3637 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3638 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3639
3640 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3641 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3642 kind of callback.
3643 [Richard Levitte]
3644
3645 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3646 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3647 than this minimum value is recommended.
3648 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3649
3650 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3651 that are easily reachable.
3652 [Richard Levitte]
3653
3654 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3655 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3656
3657 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3658
3659 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3660 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3661 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3662 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3663 [Steve Henson]
3664
3665 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3666 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3667 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3668 [Steve Henson]
3669
3670 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3671 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3672 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3673 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3674 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3675 internally such as S/MIME.
3676
3677 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3678 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3679 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3680
3681 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3682 applications.
3683 [Steve Henson]
3684
3685 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3686 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3687 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3688 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3689
3690 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3691
3692 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3693
3694 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3695 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3696 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3697 handling.
3698 [Steve Henson]
3699
3700 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3701 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3702 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3703 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3704 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3705 a window system and the like.
3706 [Richard Levitte]
3707
3708 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3709 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3710 [Geoff]
3711
3712 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3713 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3714 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3715 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3716 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3717 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3718 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3719 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3720 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3721 ENGINE structure.
3722 [Geoff]
3723
3724 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3725 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3726 tag cache.
3727 [Steve Henson]
3728
3729 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3730 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3731 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3732 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3733 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3734 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3735 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3736 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3737 [Geoff]
3738
3739 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3740 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3741 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3742 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3743 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3744 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3745 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3746 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3747 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3748 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3749 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3750 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3751 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3752 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3753 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3754 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3755 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3756 [Geoff]
3757
3758 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3759 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3760 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3761 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3762 internal engine_int.h header.
3763 [Geoff]
3764
3765 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3766 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3767 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3768 modify their own ones).
3769 [Geoff]
3770
3771 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3772 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3773 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3774 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3775 later on via ctrl() commands.
3776 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3777 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3778 structural references.
3779 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3780 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3781 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3782 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3783 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3784 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3785 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3786 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3787 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3788 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3789 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3790 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3791 [Geoff]
3792
3793 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3794 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3795 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3796 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3797 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3798 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3799 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3800 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3801 [Bodo Moeller]
3802
3803 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3804 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3805 [Steve Henson]
3806
3807 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3808 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3809 [Steve Henson]
3810
3811 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3812 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3813 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3814 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3815 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3816 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3817 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3818 [Steve Henson]
3819
3820 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3821 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3822 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3823 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3824 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3825
3826 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3827 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3828 generator).
3829 [Bodo Moeller]
3830
3831 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3832
3833 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3834 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3835 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3836
3837 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3838 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3839
3840 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3841 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3842 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3843
3844 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3845 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3846
3847 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3848 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3849
3850 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3851
3852 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3853 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3854 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3855 [Bodo Moeller]
3856
3857 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3858 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3859 [Richard Levitte]
3860
3861 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3862 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3863 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3864 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3865 is 40 of more characters long.
3866 [Steve Henson]
3867
3868 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3869 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3870 pointers.
3871 [Steve Henson]
3872
3873 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3874 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3875 [Bodo Moeller]
3876
3877 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3878 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3879 might.
3880 [Steve Henson]
3881
3882 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3883
3884 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3885 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3886
3887 ASN1 error codes
3888 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3889 ...
3890 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3891 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3892 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3893 ...
3894 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3895 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3896
3897 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3898 [Bodo Moeller]
3899
3900 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3901 suffices.
3902 [Bodo Moeller]
3903
3904 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3905 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3906 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3907 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3908 and
3909 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3910
3911 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3912 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3913
3914 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3915 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3916 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3917 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3918 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3919 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3920
3921 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3922 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3923
3924 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3925 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3926
3927 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3928 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3929
3930 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3931 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3932 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3933 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3934
3935 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3936 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3937
3938 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3939 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3940
3941 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3942 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3943 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3944 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3945 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3946 [Richard Levitte]
3947
3948 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3949 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3950 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3951 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3952 [Steve Henson]
3953
3954 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3955 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3956 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3957 trust settings.
3958 [Steve Henson]
3959
3960 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3961 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3962 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3963 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3964 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3965 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3966 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3967 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3968 ocsp utility.
3969 [Steve Henson]
3970
3971 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3972 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3973 [Steve Henson]
3974
3975 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3976 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3977 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3978 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3979 [Steve Henson]
3980
3981 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3982 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3983 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3984 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3985 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3986 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3987 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3988 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3989 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3990 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3991 [Steve Henson]
3992
3993 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3994 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3995 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3996 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3997 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3998 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3999 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4000 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4001
4002 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4003 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4004 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4005 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4006 [Richard Levitte]
4007
4008 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4009 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4010 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4011 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4012 opensslconf.h.
4013 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4014 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4015 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4016 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4017 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4018 what is available.
4019 [Richard Levitte]
4020
4021 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4022 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4023 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4024 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4025 auto incremented.
4026 [Steve Henson]
4027
4028 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4029 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4030 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4031 [Steve Henson]
4032
4033 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4034 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4035 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4036 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4037 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4038 [Steve Henson]
4039
4040 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4041 [Steve Henson]
4042
4043 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4044 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4045 option to ocsp utility.
4046 [Steve Henson]
4047
4048 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4049 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4050 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4051 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4052 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4053 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4054 the request is nonce-less.
4055 [Steve Henson]
4056
4057 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4058 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4059 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4060 [Bodo Moeller]
4061
4062 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4063 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4064 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4065 [Steve Henson]
4066
4067 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4068 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4069 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4070 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4071 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4072 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4073
4074 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4075 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4076 appear to exist.
4077 [Steve Henson]
4078
4079 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4080 additional certificates supplied.
4081 [Steve Henson]
4082
4083 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4084 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4085 signature against.
4086 [Richard Levitte]
4087
4088 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4089 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4090 AES OIDs.
4091
4092 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4093 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4094 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4095 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4096 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4097 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4098 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4099 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4100 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4101
4102 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4103 request to response.
4104 [Steve Henson]
4105
4106 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4107 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4108 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4109 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4110 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4111 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4112 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4113 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4114 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4115 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4116 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4117 [Steve Henson]
4118
4119 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4120 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4121 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4122 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4123 [Steve Henson]
4124
4125 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4126 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4127
4128 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4129 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4130 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4131 [Steve Henson]
4132
4133 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4134 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4135 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4136 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4137 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4138
4139 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4140 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4141 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4142 [Steve Henson]
4143
4144 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4145 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4146 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4147 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4148 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4149 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4150 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4151 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4152
4153 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4154 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4155 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4156 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4157 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4158 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4159 [Steve Henson]
4160
4161 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4162 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4163 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4164 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4165 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4166 printout format cleaned up.
4167 [Steve Henson]
4168
4169 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4170 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4171 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4172 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4173 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4174 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4175 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4176 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4177 [Steve Henson]
4178
4179 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4180 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4181 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4182 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4183 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4184 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4185 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4186 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4187 [Steve Henson]
4188
4189 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4190 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4191 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4192 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4193 section to use.
4194 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4195
4196 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4197 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4198 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4199 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4200 [Steve Henson]
4201
4202 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4203 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4204 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4205 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4206 in the index file.
4207 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4208
4209 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4210 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4211 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4212 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4213
4214 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4215 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4216
4217 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4218 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4219 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4220 [Steve Henson]
4221
4222 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4223 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4224 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4225 [Bodo Moeller]
4226
4227 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4228 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4229 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4230 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4231 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4232 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4233 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4234 functions are provided:
4235
4236 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4237 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4238 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4239 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4240
4241 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4242 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4243 extended allocation function is enabled.
4244 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4245 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4246 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4247
4248 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4249 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4250 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4251 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4252 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4253 [Geoff Thorpe]
4254
4255 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4256 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4257 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4258 be queried.
4259 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4260 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4261 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4262 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4263
4264 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4265 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4266 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4267 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4268 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4269 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4270 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4271 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4272 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4273 [Richard Levitte]
4274
4275 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4276 provide utility functions which an application needing
4277 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4278 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4279 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4280
4281 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4282 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4283 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4284 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4285 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4286 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4287 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4288 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4289 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4290
4291 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4292 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4293 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4294 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4295 [Steve Henson]
4296
4297 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4298 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4299 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4300 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4301 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4302 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4303 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4304 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4305 will be added elsewhere.
4306 [Steve Henson]
4307
4308 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4309 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4310 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4311 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4312 [Steve Henson]
4313
4314 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4315 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4316 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4317 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4318 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4319 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4320 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4321 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4322 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4323 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4324 to produce the required SET OF.
4325 [Steve Henson]
4326
4327 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4328 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4329 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4330 [Richard Levitte]
4331
4332 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4333 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4334 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4335 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4336 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4337 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4338 [Steve Henson]
4339
4340 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4341 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4342 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4343 [Steve Henson]
4344
4345 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4346 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4347 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4348 [Richard Levitte]
4349
4350 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4351 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4352 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4353 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4354 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4355 [Steve Henson]
4356
4357 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4358 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4359 [Steve Henson]
4360
4361 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4362 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4363 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4364 certifcates and CRLs.
4365 [Steve Henson]
4366
4367 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4368 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4369 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4370 [Steve Henson]
4371
4372 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4373 entries for variables.
4374 [Steve Henson]
4375
4376 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4377 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4378 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4379 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4380 [Bodo Moeller]
4381
4382 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4383 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4384 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4385 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4386 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4387 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4388 [Bodo Moeller]
4389
4390 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4391 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4392
4393 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4394 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4395 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4396 [Steve Henson]
4397
4398 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4399 print routines.
4400 [Steve Henson]
4401
4402 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4403 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4404 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4405 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4406 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4407 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4408 [Steve Henson]
4409
4410 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4411 [Steve Henson]
4412
4413 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4414 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4415 for now but they will eventually go away.
4416 [Steve Henson]
4417
4418 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4419 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4420 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4421 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4422 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4423 has also been converted to the new form.
4424 [Steve Henson]
4425
4426 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4427 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4428 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4429 for negative moduli.
4430 [Bodo Moeller]
4431
4432 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4433 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4434 [Bodo Moeller]
4435
4436 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4437 set.
4438 [Bodo Moeller]
4439
4440 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4441 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4442 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4443 type-specific callbacks.
4444 [Geoff Thorpe]
4445
4446 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4447 RFC 2712.
4448 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4449 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4450
4451 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4452 in sections depending on the subject.
4453 [Richard Levitte]
4454
4455 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4456 Windows.
4457 [Richard Levitte]
4458
4459 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4460 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4461 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4462 be handled deterministically).
4463 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4464
4465 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4466 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4467 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4468 [Bodo Moeller]
4469
4470 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4471 [Bodo Moeller]
4472
4473 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4474 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4475 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4476 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4477 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4478 [Bodo Moeller]
4479
4480 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4481 sign of the number in question.
4482
4483 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4484
4485 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4486 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4487 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4488 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4489 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4490 [Bodo Moeller]
4491
4492 *) New function BN_swap.
4493 [Bodo Moeller]
4494
4495 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4496 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4497 results on negative inputs.
4498 [Bodo Moeller]
4499
4500 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4501 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4502 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4503 [Bodo Moeller]
4504
4505 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4506 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4507 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4508 and add new functions:
4509
4510 BN_nnmod
4511 BN_mod_sqr
4512 BN_mod_add
4513 BN_mod_add_quick
4514 BN_mod_sub
4515 BN_mod_sub_quick
4516 BN_mod_lshift1
4517 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4518 BN_mod_lshift
4519 BN_mod_lshift_quick
4520
4521 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4522
4523 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4524 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4525
4526 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4527 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4528 be reduced modulo m.
4529 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4530
4531 #if 0
4532 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4533 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4534 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4535
4536 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4537 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4538 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4539 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4540 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4541 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4542 differing sizes.
4543 [Richard Levitte]
4544 #endif
4545
4546 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4547 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4548 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4549 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4550 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4551
4552 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4553 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4554 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4555 cause any problems.
4556 [Bodo Moeller]
4557
4558 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4559 [Richard Levitte]
4560
4561 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4562 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4563 [Richard Levitte]
4564
4565 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4566 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4567 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4568 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4569 time)
4570 [Richard Levitte]
4571
4572 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4573 [Richard Levitte]
4574
4575 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4576 [Richard Levitte]
4577
4578 *) Add the following functions:
4579
4580 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4581 ENGINE_load_chil()
4582 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4583 ENGINE_load_nuron()
4584 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4585
4586 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4587 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4588 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4589 libraries unless it's really needed.
4590
4591 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4592 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4593 declarations (they differed!).
4594 [Richard Levitte]
4595
4596 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4597 [Richard Levitte]
4598
4599 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4600 [Richard Levitte]
4601
4602 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4603 [Bodo Moeller]
4604
4605 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4606 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4607 [Richard Levitte]
4608
4609 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4610 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4611 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4612
4613 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4614 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4615 [Richard Levitte]
4616
4617 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4618 [Richard Levitte]
4619
4620 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4621 [Richard Levitte]
4622
4623 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4624 [Ben Laurie]
4625
4626 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4627 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4628 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4629
4630 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4631 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4632 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4633 different shared library filenames on each system.
4634 [Geoff Thorpe]
4635
4636 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4637 [Richard Levitte]
4638
4639 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4640 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4641 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4642 of two sections.
4643 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4644
4645 *) NCONF changes.
4646 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4647 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4648 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4649 binary backward compatibility.
4650 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4651 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4652 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4653 LDAP server.
4654 [Richard Levitte]
4655
4656 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4657 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4658 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4659 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4660 this case.
4661 [Steve Henson]
4662
4663 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4664 [Ben Laurie]
4665
4666 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4667 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4668 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4669 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4670 set.
4671 [Steve Henson]
4672
4673 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4674 [Richard Levitte]
4675
4676 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4677
4678 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4679 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4680 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4681
4682 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4683
4684 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4685
4686 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4687 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4688 [Steve Henson]
4689
4690 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4691
4692 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4693
4694 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4695 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4696
4697 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4698 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4699
4700 [Steve Henson]
4701
4702 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4703 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4704 specifications.
4705 [Steve Henson]
4706
4707 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4708 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4709 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4710 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4711
4712 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4713 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4714 [Richard Levitte]
4715
4716 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4717
4718 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4719 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4720 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4721 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4722 [Bodo Moeller]
4723
4724 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4725 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4726 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4727 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4728 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4729
4730 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4731 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4732 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4733 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4734 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4735 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4736 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4737 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4738 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4739 [Bodo Moeller]
4740
4741 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4742
4743 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4744 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4745 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4746 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4747 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4748
4749 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4750 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4751 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4752
4753 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4754
4755 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4756 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4757 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4758 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4759 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4760 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4761 [Geoff Thorpe]
4762
4763 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4764 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4765 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4766 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4767 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4768 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4769
4770 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4771 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4772 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4773
4774 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4775 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4776 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4777 EVP_cleanup().
4778 [Richard Levitte]
4779
4780 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4781 being properly terminated.
4782 [Richard Levitte]
4783
4784 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4785 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4786 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4787 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4788
4789 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4790 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4791 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4792 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4793 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4794 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4795 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4796 change.
4797 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4798
4799 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4800 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4801 [Bodo Moeller]
4802
4803 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4804 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4805 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4806 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4807 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4808 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4809 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4810 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4811
4812 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4813 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4814 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4815 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4816 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4817
4818 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4819 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4820 [Steve Henson]
4821
4822 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4823
4824 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4825 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4826 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4827
4828 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4829
4830 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4831 and get fix the header length calculation.
4832 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4833 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4834 Steve Henson]
4835
4836 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4837 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4838 assertions could call abort()).
4839 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4840
4841 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4842
4843 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4844 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4845 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4846 supplied buffer.
4847 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4848
4849 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4850 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4851 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4852 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4853
4854 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4855 [Nils Larsch]
4856
4857 *) New option
4858 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4859 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4860 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4861
4862 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4863 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4864 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4865 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4866 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4867 applications.
4868 [Bodo Moeller]
4869
4870 *) Changes in security patch:
4871
4872 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4873 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4874 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4875 F30602-01-2-0537.
4876
4877 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4878 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4879 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4880 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4881 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4882
4883 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4884 happen in practice.
4885 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4886
4887 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4888 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4889 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4890
4891 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4892 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4893 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4894
4895 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4896 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4897 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4898
4899 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4900
4901 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4902 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4903 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4904
4905 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4906 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4907
4908 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4909 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4910 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4911 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4912 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4913 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4914 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4915
4916 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4917 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4918 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4919 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4920 [Bodo Moeller]
4921
4922 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4923 [Bodo Moeller]
4924
4925 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4926 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4927 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4928 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4929 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4930 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4931
4932 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4933 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4934 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4935 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4936 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4937 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4938
4939 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4940 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4941 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4942 BN_generate_prime().)
4943
4944 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4945 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4946 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4947 better.
4948 [Bodo Moeller]
4949
4950 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4951 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4952 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4953
4954 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4955 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4956 when using non-blocking I/O.
4957 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4958
4959 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4960 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4961
4962 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4963 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4964 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4965
4966 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4967 configuration for the versions before that.
4968 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4969
4970 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4971 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4972 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4973 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4974 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4975
4976 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4977 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4978 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4979 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4980
4981 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4982 value is 0.
4983 [Richard Levitte]
4984
4985 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4986 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4987 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4988
4989 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4990 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4991
4992 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4993 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4994 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4995 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4996 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4997 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4998 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4999 session cache.
5000
5001 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5002 using a local variable.
5003 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5004
5005 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5006 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5007 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5008
5009 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5010 [Richard Levitte]
5011
5012 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5013 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5014
5015 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5016 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5017 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5018
5019 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5020
5021 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5022 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5023 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5024 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5025 [Bodo Moeller]
5026
5027 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5028 present.
5029 [Steve Henson]
5030
5031 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5032 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5033 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5034 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5035 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5036
5037 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5038 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5039 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5040
5041 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5042 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5043 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5044
5045 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5046 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5047 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5048 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5049
5050 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5051 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5052 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5053 modules).
5054 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5055
5056 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5057 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5058 from 0.9.7.
5059 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5060
5061 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5062 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5063 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5064 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5065
5066 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5067 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5068 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5069 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5070
5071 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5072 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5073
5074 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5075 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5076 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5077 [Bodo Moeller]
5078
5079 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5080 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5081 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5082 become invalid.
5083 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5084
5085 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5086 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5087 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5088 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5089 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5090 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5091 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5092 [Bodo Moeller]
5093
5094 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5095 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5096 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5097 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5098
5099 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5100 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5101 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5102 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5103 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5104 the client will at least see that alert.
5105 [Bodo Moeller]
5106
5107 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5108 correctly.
5109 [Bodo Moeller]
5110
5111 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5112 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5113 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5114
5115 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5116 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5117 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5118 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5119 HelloRequest.
5120
5121 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5122 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5123 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5124
5125 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5126 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5127 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5128 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5129 may leak via logfiles.)
5130
5131 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5132 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5133 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5134 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5135 the legal range.
5136 [Bodo Moeller]
5137
5138 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5139 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5140 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5141
5142 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5143 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5144 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5145 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5146 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5147 [Bodo Moeller]
5148
5149 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5150 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5151
5152 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5153 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5154 followed by modular reduction.
5155 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5156
5157 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5158 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5159 [Bodo Moeller]
5160
5161 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5162 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5163 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5164 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5165 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5166
5167 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5168 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5169
5170 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5171 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5172 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5173
5174 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5175 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5176 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5177 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5178 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5179 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5180 automatically.
5181 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5182
5183 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5184 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5185 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5186 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5187 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5188
5189 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5190 [Andy Polyakov]
5191
5192 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5193 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5194 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5195 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5196 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5197 to allow the necessary settings.
5198 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5199
5200 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5201 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5202 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5203 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5204 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5205
5206 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5207 dh->length and always used
5208
5209 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5210
5211 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5212 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5213 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5214 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5215 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5216 dh->length.
5217
5218 So switch back to
5219
5220 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5221
5222 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5223 otherwise.
5224 [Bodo Moeller]
5225
5226 *) In
5227
5228 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5229 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5230 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5231 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5232
5233 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5234 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5235 always reject numbers >= n.
5236 [Bodo Moeller]
5237
5238 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5239 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5240 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5241 variable) is not atomic.
5242 [Bodo Moeller]
5243
5244 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5245 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5246 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5247 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5248
5249 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5250 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5251
5252 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5253 little-endian MIPS.
5254 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5255
5256 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5257 [Richard Levitte]
5258
5259 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5260
5261 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5262 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5263 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5264 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5265 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5266 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5267 to traverse all of 'state'.
5268
5269 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5270 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5271 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5272
5273 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5274 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5275
5276 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5277 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5278 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5279 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5280 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5281 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5282 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5283 further strengthens the PRNG.
5284 [Bodo Moeller]
5285
5286 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5287 [Andy Polyakov]
5288
5289 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5290 an error message in this case.
5291 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5292
5293 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5294 [Steve Henson]
5295
5296 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5297 positive and less than q.
5298 [Bodo Moeller]
5299
5300 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5301 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5302 that itself.
5303 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5304
5305 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5306 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5307 [Bodo Moeller]
5308
5309 *) Fix OAEP check.
5310 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5311
5312 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5313 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5314 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5315 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5316 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5317 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5318 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5319 paper.)
5320
5321 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5322 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5323 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5324 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5325
5326 Both problems are now fixed.
5327 [Bodo Moeller]
5328
5329 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5330 (previously it was 1024).
5331 [Bodo Moeller]
5332
5333 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5334 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5335 [Steve Henson]
5336
5337 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5338 [Steve Henson]
5339
5340 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5341 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5342 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5343 [Steve Henson]
5344
5345 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5346 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5347 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5348 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5349 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5350 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5351 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5352 environment variables.
5353
5354 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5355 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5356 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5357 [Bodo Moeller]
5358
5359 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5360 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5361 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5362 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5363 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5364 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5365 [Bodo Moeller]
5366
5367 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5368 versions of 'test'.
5369 [Bodo Moeller]
5370
5371 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5372
5373 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5374 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5375
5376 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5377 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5378 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5379 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5380 CygWin.
5381 [Richard Levitte]
5382
5383 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5384 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5385 amount of data available.
5386 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5387 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5388
5389 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5390 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5391 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5392 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5393 [Bodo Moeller]
5394
5395 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5396 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5397 and UnixWare.
5398 [Richard Levitte]
5399
5400 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5401 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5402 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5403 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5404 [Ulf Moeller]
5405
5406 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5407 [Andy Polyakov]
5408
5409 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5410 [Richard Levitte]
5411
5412 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5413 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5414 [Steve Henson]
5415 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5416
5417 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5418 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5419 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5420 (but broken) behaviour.
5421 [Steve Henson]
5422
5423 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5424 it when found.
5425 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5426
5427 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5428 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5429 [Bodo Moeller]
5430
5431 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5432 did not exist.
5433 [Bodo Moeller]
5434
5435 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5436 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5437
5438 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5439 [Richard Levitte]
5440
5441 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5442 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5443 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5444
5445 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5446 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5447 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5448 [Steve Henson]
5449
5450 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5451 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5452 [Ulf Moeller]
5453
5454 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5455 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5456
5457 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5458
5459 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5460
5461 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5462 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5463 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5464 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5465 [Bodo Moeller]
5466
5467 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5468 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5469
5470 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5471 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5472 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5473
5474 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5475 was empty.
5476 [Steve Henson]
5477 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5478
5479 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5480 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5481 but the code is actually correct.
5482 [Steve Henson]
5483
5484 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5485 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5486 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5487 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5488 and leaves the highest bit random.
5489 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5490
5491 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5492 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5493 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5494 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5495 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5496 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5497 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5498 [Bodo Moeller]
5499
5500 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5501 [Ulf Moeller]
5502
5503 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5504 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5505 [Steve Henson]
5506
5507 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5508 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5509 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5510 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5511 headers.
5512 [Richard Levitte]
5513
5514 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5515 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5516 and break the signature.
5517 [Steve Henson]
5518 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5519
5520 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5521 DH ciphersuites.
5522 [Steve Henson]
5523
5524 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5525 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5526 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5527 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5528 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5529 [Bodo Moeller]
5530
5531 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5532 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5533
5534 *) ./config script fixes.
5535 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5536
5537 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5538 [Bodo Moeller]
5539
5540 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5541 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5542 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5543 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5544 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5545
5546 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5547 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5548 [Bodo Moeller]
5549
5550 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5551 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5552 [Steve Henson]
5553
5554 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5555 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5556 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5557 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5558
5559 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5560 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5561
5562 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5563 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5564 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5565 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5566 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5567
5568 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5569 [Bodo Moeller]
5570
5571 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5572 [Ulf Möller]
5573
5574 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5575 [Ulf Möller]
5576
5577 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5578 [Bodo Moeller]
5579
5580 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5581 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5582 [Bodo Moeller]
5583
5584 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5585 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5586 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5587 result of the server certificate verification.)
5588 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5589
5590 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5591 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5592 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5593 [Bodo Moeller]
5594
5595 *) Fix SSL_peek:
5596 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5597 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5598 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5599 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5600 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5601 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5602 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5603 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5604 [Bodo Moeller]
5605
5606 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5607 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5608 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5609 happening the other way round.
5610 [Geoff Thorpe]
5611
5612 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5613 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5614 [Bodo Moeller]
5615
5616 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5617 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5618 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5619 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5620 [Richard Levitte]
5621
5622 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5623 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5624
5625 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5626
5627 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5628 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5629 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5630 that.
5631
5632 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5633
5634 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5635
5636 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5637 static ones.
5638 [Richard Levitte]
5639
5640 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5641
5642 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5643 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5644 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5645 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5646 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5647
5648 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5649 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5650 matter what.
5651 [Richard Levitte]
5652
5653 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5654 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5655
5656 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5657
5658 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5659 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5660 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5661 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5662 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5663 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5664 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5665 by the Finished messages.
5666 [Bodo Moeller]
5667
5668 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5669 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5670
5671 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5672 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5673 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5674 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5675 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5676 appropriately.
5677 [Steve Henson]
5678
5679 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5680 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5681 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5682 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5683 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5684 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5685 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5686 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5687 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5688 together.
5689 [Steve Henson]
5690
5691 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5692 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5693 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5694 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5695
5696 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5697 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5698 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5699 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5700 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5701 the answer.
5702
5703 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5704 been tested well enough.
5705 [Richard Levitte]
5706
5707 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5708 it can return incorrect results.
5709 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5710 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5711 [Bodo Moeller]
5712
5713 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5714 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5715 include zero length content when signing messages.
5716 [Steve Henson]
5717
5718 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5719 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5720 [Bodo Möller]
5721
5722 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5723 [Richard Levitte]
5724
5725 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5726 wrong sign.
5727 [Ulf Möller]
5728
5729 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5730 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5731 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5732 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5733 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5734 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5735 [Richard Levitte]
5736
5737 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5738 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5739
5740 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5741 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5742
5743 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5744 random number < q in the DSA library.
5745 [Ulf Möller]
5746
5747 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5748 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5749 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5750 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5751 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5752 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5753 just makes things more complicated.)
5754 [Bodo Moeller]
5755
5756 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5757 from EGD.
5758 [Ben Laurie]
5759
5760 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5761 work better on such systems.
5762 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5763
5764 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5765 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5766 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5767 [Steve Henson]
5768
5769 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5770 if there was more than one signature.
5771 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5772
5773 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5774 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5775 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5776 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5777 [Richard Levitte]
5778
5779 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5780 rather than always using the current time.
5781 [Steve Henson]
5782
5783 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5784 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5785 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5786 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5787 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5788 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5789
5790 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5791 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5792
5793 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5794
5795 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5796 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5797 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5798 the same hash value.
5799
5800 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5801 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5802 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5803 with X509_STORE internally.
5804
5805 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5806 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5807
5808 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5809 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5810 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5811 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5812 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5813 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5814 entirely (maybe later...).
5815
5816 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5817
5818 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5819 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5820 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5821 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5822 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5823 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5824 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5825 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5826
5827 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5828 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5829
5830 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5831 to customise the verify behaviour.
5832 [Steve Henson]
5833
5834 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5835 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5836 [Steve Henson]
5837
5838 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5839 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5840 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5841 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5842 request is improperly encoded.
5843 [Steve Henson]
5844
5845 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5846 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5847 BIO_write(b, ...).
5848
5849 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5850 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5851
5852 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5853 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5854 words set to zero.)
5855 [Bodo Moeller]
5856
5857 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5858 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5859 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5860 [Bodo Moeller]
5861
5862 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5863 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5864 BIO/fp routines also added.
5865 [Steve Henson]
5866
5867 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5868 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5869
5870 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5871 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5872 demos/state_machine.
5873 [Ben Laurie]
5874
5875 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5876 generation and verification.
5877 [Steve Henson]
5878
5879 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5880 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5881 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5882 encode and decode it manually.
5883 [Steve Henson]
5884
5885 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5886 compile under VC++.
5887 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5888
5889 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5890 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5891 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5892 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5893
5894 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5895 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5896 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5897 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5898 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5899 [Steve Henson]
5900
5901 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5902 [Richard Levitte]
5903
5904 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5905 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5906 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5907
5908 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5909 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5910 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5911 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5912 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5913 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5914 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5915 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5916
5917 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5918 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5919
5920 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5921
5922 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5923 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5924 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5925
5926 [Richard Levitte]
5927
5928 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5929 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5930 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5931 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5932 [Richard Levitte]
5933
5934 *) MD4 implemented.
5935 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5936
5937 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5938 [Richard Levitte]
5939
5940 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5941 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5942 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5943 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5944 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5945 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5946 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5947 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5948 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5949 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5950 short or long names are found.
5951 [Steve Henson]
5952
5953 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5954 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5955
5956 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5957 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5958 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5959 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5960
5961 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5962 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5963 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5964 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5965 [Bodo Moeller]
5966
5967 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5968 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5969 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5970 [Richard Levitte]
5971
5972 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5973 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5974 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5975 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5976 to allow the various flags to be set.
5977 [Steve Henson]
5978
5979 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5980 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5981 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5982 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5983 dates to be checked.
5984 [Steve Henson]
5985
5986 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5987 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5988 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5989 [Steve Henson]
5990
5991 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5992 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5993 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5994 [Steve Henson]
5995
5996 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5997 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5998 [Bodo Moeller]
5999
6000 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6001 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6002 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6003 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6004 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6005 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6006 [Richard Levitte]
6007
6008 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6009 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6010 Random Numbers.
6011 [Ulf Möller]
6012
6013 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6014 DSA key.
6015 [Steve Henson]
6016
6017 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6018 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6019 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6020 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6021 form signing output easier to verify.
6022 [Steve Henson]
6023
6024 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6025 [Steve Henson]
6026
6027 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6028 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6029 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6030 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6031 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6032 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6033 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6034 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6035 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6036 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6037 [Steve Henson]
6038
6039 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6040
6041 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6042 the syntax given in objects.README.
6043 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6044 obj_mac.h.
6045 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6046 obj_mac.h.
6047
6048 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6049 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6050 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6051 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6052 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6053 consistent name changes.
6054 [Richard Levitte]
6055
6056 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6057 [Bodo Moeller]
6058
6059 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6060 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6061 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6062 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6063 [Richard Levitte]
6064
6065 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6066 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6067 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6068 of safestack.h .
6069 [Steve Henson]
6070
6071 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6072 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6073 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6074 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6075 [Steve Henson]
6076
6077 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6078 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6079 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6080 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6081 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6082 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6083 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6084 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6085 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6086 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6087 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6088 [Steve Henson]
6089
6090 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6091 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6092 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6093 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6094 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6095 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6096 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6097 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6098 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6099 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6100 [Steve Henson]
6101
6102 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6103 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6104 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6105 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6106
6107 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6108 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6109 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6110 omit any duplicate addresses.
6111 [Steve Henson]
6112
6113 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6114 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6115 [Bodo Moeller]
6116
6117 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6118 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6119 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6120 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6121 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6122 [Bodo Moeller]
6123
6124 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6125 software:
6126 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6127 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6128 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6129 Free => OPENSSL_free
6130 [Richard Levitte]
6131
6132 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6133 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6134 [Bodo Moeller]
6135
6136 *) CygWin32 support.
6137 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6138
6139 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6140 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6141 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6142 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6143 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6144 approach.
6145 [Geoff Thorpe]
6146
6147 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6148 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6149 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6150 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6151 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6152 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6153 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6154 [Geoff Thorpe]
6155
6156 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6157 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6158 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6159 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6160 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6161 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6162 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6163 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6164 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6165 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6166 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6167 [Bodo Moeller]
6168
6169 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6170 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6171 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6172 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6173 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6174
6175 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6176 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6177 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6178 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6179 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6180
6181 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6182 ciphers.
6183
6184 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6185 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6186 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6187 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6188
6189 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6190
6191 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6192 of macros.
6193
6194 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6195 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6196 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6197 flags.
6198
6199 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6200 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6201 any installed hardware versions can.
6202 [Steve Henson]
6203
6204 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6205 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6206 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6207 number.
6208 [Bodo Moeller]
6209
6210 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6211 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6212 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6213 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6214 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6215
6216 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6217 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6218 [Steve Henson]
6219
6220 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6221 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6222 [Richard Levitte]
6223
6224 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6225 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6226 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6227 features.
6228 [Steve Henson]
6229
6230 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6231 [Ulf Möller]
6232
6233 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6234 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6235 but no ssl client purpose.
6236 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6237
6238 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6239 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6240 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6241 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6242 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6243 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6244 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6245 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6246 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6247 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6248 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6249 [Steve Henson]
6250
6251 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6252 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6253 be obtained from the error queue.
6254 [Bodo Moeller]
6255
6256 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6257 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6258 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6259 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6260 [Bodo Moeller]
6261
6262 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6263 [Ulf Möller]
6264
6265 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6266 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6267 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6268 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6269 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6270 [Geoff Thorpe]
6271
6272 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6273 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6274 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6275 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6276 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6277 [Geoff Thorpe]
6278
6279 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6280 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6281 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6282 may not be NULL.
6283 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6284
6285 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6286 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6287 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6288 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6289 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6290 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6291 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6292 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6293 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6294 or "the configuration storage API"...
6295
6296 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6297
6298 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6299 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6300
6301 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6302
6303 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6304
6305 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6306 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6307 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6308 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6309 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6310 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6311 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6312
6313 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6314 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6315 [Richard Levitte]
6316
6317 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6318 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6319 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6320 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6321 [Bodo Moeller]
6322
6323 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6324 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6325 them in a portable way.
6326 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6327
6328 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6329
6330 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6331
6332 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6333 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6334
6335 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6336 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6337 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6338 <attili@amaxo.com>]
6339
6340 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6341 was larger than the MD block size.
6342 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6343
6344 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6345 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6346 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6347 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6348 components.
6349 [Steve Henson]
6350
6351 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6352 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6353 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6354
6355 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6356 discouraged.
6357 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6358
6359 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6360 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6361 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6362 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6363 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6364 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6365
6366 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6367 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6368
6369 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6370 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6371 [Bodo Moeller]
6372
6373 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6374 [Bodo Moeller]
6375
6376 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6377 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6378 its own key.
6379 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6380 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6381 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6382 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6383 [Bodo Moeller]
6384
6385 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6386 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6387 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6388 does not suppress any output.
6389 [Richard Levitte]
6390
6391 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6392 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6393 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6394 with all the associated security issues.
6395
6396 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6397 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6398 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6399 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6400 use the value in the default purpose.
6401 [Steve Henson]
6402
6403 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6404 and fix a memory leak.
6405 [Steve Henson]
6406
6407 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6408 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6409 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6410 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6411 [Bodo Moeller]
6412
6413 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6414 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6415 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6416 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6417 [Bodo Moeller]
6418
6419 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6420 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6421 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6422 [Bodo Moeller]
6423
6424 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6425 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6426 [Bodo Moeller]
6427
6428 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6429 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6430 which was free.
6431 [Steve Henson]
6432
6433 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6434 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6435 [Bodo Moeller]
6436
6437 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6438 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6439 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6440 [Bodo Moeller]
6441
6442 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6443 number generation fails.
6444 [Bodo Moeller]
6445
6446 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6447 [Bodo Moeller]
6448
6449 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6450 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6451
6452 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6453 [Ulf Möller]
6454
6455 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6456 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6457
6458 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6459 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6460
6461 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6462
6463 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6464 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6465 [Steve Henson]
6466
6467 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6468 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6469
6470 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6471 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6472 [Ulf Möller]
6473
6474 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6475 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6476 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6477 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6478 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6479 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6480
6481 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6482 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6483 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6484 for example.
6485 [Steve Henson]
6486
6487 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6488 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6489 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6490 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6491 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6492 counter, some don't.)
6493 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6494 counters or duplicate objects.
6495 [Steve Henson]
6496
6497 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6498 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6499 [Steve Henson]
6500
6501 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6502 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6503 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6504
6505 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6506 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6507 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6508 or -rand.
6509 [Ulf Möller]
6510
6511 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6512 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6513 [Steve Henson]
6514
6515 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6516 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6517 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6518 cipher list.
6519 [Steve Henson]
6520
6521 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6522 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6523 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6524 [Steve Henson]
6525
6526 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6527 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6528 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6529 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6530 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6531 should work without changes.
6532 [Richard Levitte]
6533
6534 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6535 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6536 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6537 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6538 must be defined. E.g.,
6539 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6540 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6541 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6542 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6543
6544 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6545 record layer.
6546 [Bodo Moeller]
6547
6548 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6549 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6550 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6551 [Steve Henson]
6552
6553 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6554 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6555 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6556 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6557 [Steve Henson]
6558
6559 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6560 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6561 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6562 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6563 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6564 is prompted for as usual.
6565 [Steve Henson]
6566
6567 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6568 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6569 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6570 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6571
6572 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6573 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6574 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6575 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6576 [Steve Henson]
6577
6578 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6579 [Andy Polyakov]
6580
6581 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6582 of seed file.
6583 [Steve Henson]
6584
6585 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6586 [Bodo Moeller]
6587
6588 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6589 [Steve Henson]
6590
6591 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6592 bits.
6593 [Ulf Möller]
6594
6595 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6596 [Ulf Möller]
6597
6598 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6599 [Andy Polyakov]
6600
6601 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6602 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6603 [Ulf Möller]
6604
6605 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6606 options to produce them.
6607 [Steve Henson]
6608
6609 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6610 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6611 [Ulf Möller]
6612
6613 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6614 for p == 0.
6615 [Ulf Möller]
6616
6617 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6618 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6619 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6620 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6621 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6622 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6623 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6624 [Steve Henson]
6625
6626 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6627 [Steve Henson]
6628
6629 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6630 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6631 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6632 [Bodo Moeller]
6633
6634 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6635 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6636
6637 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6638 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6639 [Ulf Möller]
6640
6641 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6642 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6643 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6644 has already seen).
6645 [Bodo Moeller]
6646
6647 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6648 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6649
6650 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6651 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6652 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6653 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6654 generation becomes much faster.
6655
6656 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6657 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6658 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6659 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6660 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6661 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6662 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6663 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6664 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6665 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6666 [Bodo Moeller]
6667
6668 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6669 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6670 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6671 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6672 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6673 trial division stage.
6674 [Bodo Moeller]
6675
6676 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6677 as ASN1_TIME.
6678 [Steve Henson]
6679
6680 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6681 [Steve Henson]
6682
6683 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6684 [Ulf Möller]
6685
6686 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6687 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6688 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6689 the comments.
6690 [Ulf Möller]
6691
6692 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6693 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6694 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6695 [Bodo Moeller]
6696
6697 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6698 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6699 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6700 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6701
6702 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6703 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6704 [Steve Henson]
6705
6706 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6707 [Ulf Möller]
6708
6709 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6710 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6711 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6712 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6713 [Ulf Möller]
6714
6715 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6716 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6717 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6718 [Ulf Möller]
6719
6720 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6721 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6722 (instead of parameters) in future.
6723 [Steve Henson]
6724
6725 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6726 when a new cipher list is set.
6727 [Steve Henson]
6728
6729 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6730 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6731 wrong.
6732
6733 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6734 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6735 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6736
6737 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6738 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6739 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6740 an error is flagged.
6741
6742 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6743 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6744 the readability was also increased :-)
6745 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6746
6747 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6748 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6749 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6750 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6751 as the root CA.
6752 [Steve Henson]
6753
6754 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6755 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6756 [Steve Henson]
6757
6758 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6759 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6760 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6761 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6762 instead.
6763
6764 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6765 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6766 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6767 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6768 because they handle more complex structures.)
6769 [Steve Henson]
6770
6771 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6772 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6773 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6774 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6775
6776 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6777 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6778 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6779 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6780 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6781 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6782 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6783 [Ulf Möller]
6784
6785 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6786 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6787 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6788 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6789 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6790 [Bodo Moeller]
6791
6792 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6793 [Bodo Moeller]
6794
6795 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6796 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6797 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6798 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6799 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6800 to use this.
6801
6802 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6803 code.
6804 [Steve Henson]
6805
6806 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6807 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6808 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6809 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6810 [Steve Henson]
6811
6812 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6813 [Ulf Möller]
6814
6815 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6816 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6817 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6818 international characters are used.
6819
6820 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6821 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6822 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6823 in ASN1 order.
6824 [Steve Henson]
6825
6826 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6827 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6828 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6829 request.
6830
6831 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6832 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6833 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6834 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6835 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6836 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6837
6838 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6839 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6840 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6841 be handled by the string table functions.
6842
6843 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6844 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6845 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6846 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6847 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6848 types at all.
6849 [Steve Henson]
6850
6851 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6852 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6853 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6854 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6855 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6856
6857 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6858 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6859 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6860 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6861 [Bodo Moeller]
6862
6863 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6864 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6865 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6866 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6867 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6868 SHA1.
6869 [Andy Polyakov]
6870
6871 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6872 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6873 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6874 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6875 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6876 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6877 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6878 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6879
6880 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6881 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6882 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6883 [Steve Henson]
6884
6885 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6886 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6887 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6888 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6889 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6890 support to pkcs8 application.
6891 [Steve Henson]
6892
6893 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6894 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6895 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6896 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6897 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6898 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6899 [Bodo Moeller]
6900
6901 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6902 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6903 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6904 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6905 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6906 consistency.
6907 [Bodo Moeller]
6908
6909 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6910 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6911 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6912 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6913 example.
6914 [Steve Henson]
6915
6916 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6917 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6918 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6919 and any application specific purposes.
6920
6921 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6922 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6923 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6924 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6925 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6926 if the certificate is self signed.
6927 [Steve Henson]
6928
6929 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6930 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6931 [Steve Henson]
6932
6933 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6934 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6935 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6936 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6937 [Steve Henson]
6938
6939 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6940 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6941 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6942 Update documentation.
6943 [Steve Henson]
6944
6945 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6946 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6947 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6948 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6949 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6950 [Steve Henson]
6951
6952 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6953 for details.
6954 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6955
6956 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6957 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6958 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6959 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6960 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6961 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6962 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6963 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6964 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6965 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6966
6967 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6968
6969 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6970 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6971 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6972 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6973 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6974
6975 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6976 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6977 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6978 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6979 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6980 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6981 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6982 request additional information:
6983 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6984 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6985
6986 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6987 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6988 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6989 options.
6990
6991 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6992 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6993
6994 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6995 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6996 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6997
6998 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6999 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7000
7001 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7002 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7003 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7004 algorithm.
7005 [Steve Henson]
7006
7007 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7008 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7009 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7010
7011 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7012 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7013 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7014 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7015 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7016 included in OpenSSL.
7017 [Steve Henson]
7018
7019 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7020 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7021 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7022 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7023 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7024 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7025 [Bodo Moeller]
7026
7027 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7028 PKCS12 structure.
7029 [Steve Henson]
7030
7031 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7032 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7033 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7034 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7035 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7036 structure.
7037 [Steve Henson]
7038
7039 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7040 need initialising.
7041 [Steve Henson]
7042
7043 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7044 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7045 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7046 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7047 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7048 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7049 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7050 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7051 be maintained manually.
7052
7053 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7054 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7055 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7056 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7057 work because people forget to call this function]
7058 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7059 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7060 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7061 [Steve Henson]
7062
7063 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7064 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7065 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7066 should be discouraged from doing it.
7067 [Ben Laurie]
7068
7069 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7070 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7071 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7072 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7073 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7074 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7075 [Steve Henson]
7076
7077 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7078 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7079 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7080
7081 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7082 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7083 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7084
7085 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7086 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7087 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7088 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7089 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7090 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7091
7092 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7093 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7094 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7095
7096 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7097 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7098 and vice versa.
7099
7100 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7101 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7102 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7103 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7104 [Steve Henson]
7105
7106 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7107 [Steve Henson]
7108
7109 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7110 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7111 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7112 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7113 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7114 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7115 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7116 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7117 keys so we should be OK.
7118
7119 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7120 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7121 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7122 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7123 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7124 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7125 stay in the name of compatibility.
7126
7127 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7128 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7129 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7130
7131 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7132 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7133 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7134 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7135 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7136 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7137 supplied key).
7138 [Steve Henson]
7139
7140 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7141 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7142 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7143 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7144 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7145 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7146 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7147 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7148 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7149 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7150 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7151 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7152 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7153 [Steve Henson]
7154
7155 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7156 [Steve Henson]
7157
7158 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7159 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7160 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7161 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7162 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7163 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7164 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7165 openssl verify ss.pem
7166 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7167 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7168 is OK.
7169 [Steve Henson]
7170
7171 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7172 (and add it to external session representation).
7173 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7174 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7175 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7176 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7177 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7178 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7179 security holes.
7180 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7181
7182 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7183 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7184 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7185 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7186
7187 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7188 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7189 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7190 [Steve Henson]
7191
7192 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7193 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7194 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7195 code.
7196 [Steve Henson]
7197
7198 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7199 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7200 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7201
7202 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7203 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7204 certificate auxiliary information.
7205 [Steve Henson]
7206
7207 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7208 the 'enc' command.
7209 [Steve Henson]
7210
7211 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7212 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7213 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7214 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7215 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7216 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7217 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7218 [Richard Levitte]
7219
7220 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7221 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7222 [Steve Henson]
7223
7224 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7225 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7226 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7227 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7228 [Steve Henson]
7229
7230 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7231 [Steve Henson]
7232
7233 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7234 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7235 [Steve Henson]
7236
7237 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7238 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7239 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7240 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7241 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7242 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7243 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7244 using the new 'x509' options.
7245
7246 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7247 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7248 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7249 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7250 for all purposes.
7251 [Steve Henson]
7252
7253 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7254 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7255 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7256 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7257 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7258 [Mark Cox]
7259
7260 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7261 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7262 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7263 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7264 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7265 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7266 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7267 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7268 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7269 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7270 [Steve Henson]
7271
7272 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7273 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7274 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7275 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7276 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7277 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7278 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7279 [Steve Henson]
7280
7281 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7282 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7283 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7284 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7285 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7286 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7287 openssl.cnf for more info.
7288 [Steve Henson]
7289
7290 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7291 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7292 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7293 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7294 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7295 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7296 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7297 md should be large enough anyway.
7298 [Bodo Moeller]
7299
7300 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7301 for handling the random seed file.
7302
7303 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7304 ca,
7305 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7306 s_client,
7307 s_server,
7308 x509 (when signing).
7309 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7310 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7311 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7312
7313 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7314 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7315 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7316 that support '-rand'.
7317 [Bodo Moeller]
7318
7319 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7320 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7321 [Bodo Moeller]
7322
7323 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7324 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7325 [Bill Perry]
7326
7327 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7328 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7329 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7330 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7331 is suitable.
7332 [Steve Henson]
7333
7334 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7335 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7336 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7337 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7338 [Steve Henson]
7339
7340 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7341 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7342 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7343 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7344 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7345 print out all the purposes.
7346 [Steve Henson]
7347
7348 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7349 functions.
7350 [Steve Henson]
7351
7352 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7353 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7354 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7355 single function call.
7356 [Steve Henson]
7357
7358 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7359 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7360 [Andy Polyakov]
7361
7362 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7363 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7364 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7365 [Steve Henson]
7366
7367 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7368 when producing the local key id.
7369 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7370
7371 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7372 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7373 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7374 "server.pem".
7375 [Steve Henson]
7376
7377 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7378 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7379 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7380 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7381 [Steve Henson]
7382
7383 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7384 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7385 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7386 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7387
7388 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7389 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7390 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7391 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7392
7393 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7394 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7395 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7396 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7397 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7398 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7399 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7400 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7401 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7402 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7403 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7404 trivial: move one line.
7405 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7406
7407 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7408 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7409 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7410 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7411 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7412 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7413 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7414 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7415 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7416 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7417 with an event loop for example.
7418 [Steve Henson]
7419
7420 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7421 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7422 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7423 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7424 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7425 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7426 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7427 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7428 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7429 [Steve Henson]
7430
7431 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7432 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7433 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7434 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7435 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7436 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7437 [Steve Henson]
7438
7439 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7440 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7441 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7442 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7443
7444 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7445 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7446 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7447 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7448 key generation.
7449 [Steve Henson]
7450
7451 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7452 (still largely untested)
7453 [Bodo Moeller]
7454
7455 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7456 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7457 [Steve Henson]
7458
7459 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7460 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7461 [Steve Henson]
7462
7463 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7464 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7465 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7466 [Bodo Moeller]
7467
7468 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7469 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7470 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7471 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7472 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7473 [Steve Henson]
7474
7475 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7476 [Andy Polyakov]
7477
7478 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7479 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7480 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7481 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7482 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7483 in ca.
7484 [Steve Henson]
7485
7486 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7487 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7488 1.OU="Unit name 1"
7489 2.OU="Unit name 2"
7490 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7491 [Steve Henson]
7492
7493 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7494 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7495 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7496 are otherwise ignored at present.
7497 [Steve Henson]
7498
7499 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7500 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7501 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7502 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7503 copied until the next read.
7504 [Steve Henson]
7505
7506 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7507 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7508 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7509 [Steve Henson]
7510
7511 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7512 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7513 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7514 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7515 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7516 associated functions.
7517 [Steve Henson]
7518
7519 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7520 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7521 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7522 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7523 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7524 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7525 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7526 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7527 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7528 memory BIOs.
7529 [Steve Henson]
7530
7531 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7532 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7533 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7534 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7535 [Bodo Moeller]
7536
7537 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7538 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7539 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7540 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7541 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7542 functionality.
7543 [Steve Henson]
7544
7545 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7546 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7547 under Win32.
7548 [Steve Henson]
7549
7550 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7551 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7552 extensions to be obtained and added.
7553 [Steve Henson]
7554
7555 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7556 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7557 [Bodo Moeller]
7558
7559 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7560
7561 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7562 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7563
7564 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7565 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7566
7567 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7568 program.
7569 [Steve Henson]
7570
7571 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7572 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7573 DH parameters contain its length).
7574
7575 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7576 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7577 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7578 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7579 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7580 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7581 utter importance to use
7582 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7583 or
7584 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7585 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7586 attacks may become possible!
7587 [Bodo Moeller]
7588
7589 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7590 [Bodo Moeller]
7591
7592 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7593 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7594 [Steve Henson]
7595
7596 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7597 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7598 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7599 or long name.
7600 [Steve Henson]
7601
7602 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7603 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7604 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7605 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7606 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7607 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7608 private key operations.
7609 [Steve Henson]
7610
7611 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7612 [Andy Polyakov]
7613
7614 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7615 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7616 to
7617 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7618 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7619 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7620 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7621 the password callback is called.
7622 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7623
7624 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7625
7626 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7627 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7628 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7629 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7630 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7631 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7632 this will work.
7633
7634 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7635 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7636 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7637 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7638 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7639 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7640 [Bodo Moeller]
7641
7642 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7643 [Andy Polyakov]
7644
7645 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7646 delete an unused file.
7647 [Ulf Möller]
7648
7649 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7650 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7651 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7652 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7653 [Steve Henson]
7654
7655 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7656 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7657 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7658 of an error.
7659 [Bodo Moeller]
7660
7661 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7662 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7663 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7664
7665 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7666 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7667 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7668 comparison" warnings.
7669 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7670 [Steve Henson]
7671
7672 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7673 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7674 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7675 [Steve Henson]
7676
7677 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7678 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7679
7680 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7681 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7682
7683 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7684 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7685 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7686
7687 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7688 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7689 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7690 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7691 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7692 this bug.
7693 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7694
7695 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7696 The interface is as follows:
7697 Applications can use
7698 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7699 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7700 "off" is now the default.
7701 The library internally uses
7702 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7703 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7704 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7705
7706 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7707 even the default) are now avoided.
7708
7709 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7710 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7711 than just having a counter.
7712
7713 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7714
7715 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7716 extensions.
7717 [Bodo Moeller]
7718
7719 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7720 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7721 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7722 Initial "mode" flags are:
7723
7724 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7725 a single record has been written.
7726 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7727 retries use the same buffer location.
7728 (But all of the contents must be
7729 copied!)
7730 [Bodo Moeller]
7731
7732 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7733 worked.
7734
7735 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7736 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7737
7738 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7739 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7740 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7741 [Steve Henson]
7742
7743 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7744 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7745 test programs.
7746 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7747
7748 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7749 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7750 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7751 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7752 point to the end.
7753 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7754 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7755
7756 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7757 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7758 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7759 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7760 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7761 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7762 [Steve Henson]
7763
7764 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7765 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7766 necessary function names.
7767 [Steve Henson]
7768
7769 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7770 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7771 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7772 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7773 [Bodo Moeller]
7774
7775 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7776 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7777 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7778 [Steve Henson]
7779
7780 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7781 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7782 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7783 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7784 such programs?)
7785 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7786 need locks.
7787 [Bodo Moeller]
7788
7789 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7790 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7791 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7792 [Bodo Moeller]
7793
7794 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7795 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7796 appropriate.
7797 [Bodo Moeller]
7798
7799 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7800 for the encoded length.
7801 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7802
7803 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7804 [Steve Henson]
7805
7806 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7807 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7808 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7809 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7810 [Steve Henson]
7811
7812 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7813 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7814 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7815
7816 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7817 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7818 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7819 unusual formatting.
7820 [Steve Henson]
7821
7822 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7823 to use the new extension code.
7824 [Steve Henson]
7825
7826 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7827 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7828 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7829 constant.
7830 [Steve Henson]
7831
7832 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7833 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7834 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7835 [Bodo Moeller]
7836
7837 #if 0
7838 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7839 [Ben Laurie]
7840 #else
7841 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7842 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7843 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7844 #endif
7845
7846 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7847 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7848 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7849 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7850 [Ben Laurie]
7851
7852 *) DES library cleanups.
7853 [Ulf Möller]
7854
7855 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7856 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7857 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7858 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7859 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7860 of v2.0.
7861 [Steve Henson]
7862
7863 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7864 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7865 [Bodo Moeller]
7866
7867 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7868 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7869 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7870 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7871 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7872 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7873 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7874 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7875 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7876 [Steve Henson]
7877
7878 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7879 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7880 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7881 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7882 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7883 value doesn't matter.
7884 [Steve Henson]
7885
7886 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7887 support mutable.
7888 [Ben Laurie]
7889
7890 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7891 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7892 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7893 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7894
7895 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7896 [Ulf Möller]
7897
7898 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7899 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7900 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7901
7902 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7903 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7904
7905 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7906 [Ben Laurie]
7907
7908 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7909 [Ben Laurie]
7910
7911 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7912 [Ben Laurie]
7913
7914 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7915 [Bodo Moeller]
7916
7917
7918 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7919
7920 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7921
7922 *) Updated some demos.
7923 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7924
7925 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7926 [Wu Zhigang]
7927
7928 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7929 [Steve Henson]
7930
7931 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7932 [Steve Henson]
7933
7934 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7935 instead of using a fixed path.
7936 [Bodo Moeller]
7937
7938 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7939 [Andy Polyakov]
7940
7941 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7942 [Richard Levitte]
7943
7944
7945 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7946
7947 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7948 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7949 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7950
7951 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7952 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7953 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7954 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7955 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7956 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7957 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7958 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7959 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7960 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7961 [Steve Henson]
7962
7963 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7964 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7965 [Steve Henson]
7966
7967 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7968 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7969 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7970 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7971 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7972
7973 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7974 [Bodo Moeller]
7975
7976 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7977 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7978 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7979 [Steve Henson]
7980
7981 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7982 [Ben Laurie]
7983
7984 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7985 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7986 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7987 key elements as negative integers.
7988 [Steve Henson]
7989
7990 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7991 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7992
7993 *) VMS support.
7994 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7995
7996 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7997 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7998 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7999 [Steve Henson]
8000
8001 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8002 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8003 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8004 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8005 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8006 [Bodo Moeller]
8007
8008 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8009 [Ulf Möller]
8010
8011 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8012 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8013 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8014 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8015
8016 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8017 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8018 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8019
8020 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8021 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8022 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8023 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8024 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8025 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8026 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8027 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8028 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8029
8030 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8031 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8032 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8033 does not influence s as it used to.
8034
8035 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8036 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8037 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8038 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8039 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8040 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8041 [Bodo Moeller]
8042
8043 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8044 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8045 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8046 key type.
8047 [Steve Henson]
8048
8049 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8050 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8051 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8052 and 'x509').
8053 [Steve Henson]
8054
8055 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8056 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8057 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8058 extension option.
8059 [Steve Henson]
8060
8061 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8062 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8063 [Ben Laurie]
8064
8065 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8066 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8067
8068 *) Support Mingw32.
8069 [Ulf Möller]
8070
8071 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8072 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8073
8074 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8075 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8076
8077 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8078 [Ulf Möller]
8079
8080 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8081 [Anonymous]
8082
8083 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8084 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8085
8086 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8087 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8088 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8089 DER-encoded.)
8090 [Bodo Moeller]
8091
8092 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8093 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8094 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8095 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8096 now it really counts the depth.
8097 [Bodo Moeller]
8098
8099 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8100 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8101 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8102 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8103 didn't match the private key).
8104
8105 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8106 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8107 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8108 [Bodo Moeller]
8109
8110 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8111 [Ulf Möller]
8112
8113 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8114 David Harris.
8115 [Bodo Moeller]
8116
8117 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8118 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8119 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8120 [Bodo Moeller]
8121
8122 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8123 [Bodo Moeller]
8124
8125 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8126 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8127 such as /usr/local/bin.
8128 [Bodo Moeller]
8129
8130 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8131 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8132
8133 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8134 [Ulf Möller]
8135
8136 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8137 extension adding in x509 utility.
8138 [Steve Henson]
8139
8140 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8141 [Ulf Möller]
8142
8143 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8144 prototypes.
8145 [Steve Henson]
8146
8147 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8148 [Ulf Möller]
8149
8150 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8151 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8152 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8153 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8154 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8155 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8156 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8157 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8158 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8159 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8160 [Steve Henson]
8161
8162 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8163 [Bodo Moeller]
8164
8165 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8166 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8167 [Bodo Moeller]
8168
8169 *) Fix some race conditions.
8170 [Bodo Moeller]
8171
8172 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8173 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8174 [Steve Henson]
8175
8176 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8177 [Ulf Möller]
8178
8179 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8180 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8181 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8182 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8183
8184 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8185 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8186
8187 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8188 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8189 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8190
8191 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8192 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8193
8194 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8195 [Ulf Möller]
8196
8197 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8198 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8199
8200 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8201 [Ulf Möller]
8202
8203 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8204 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8205
8206 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8207 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8208 [Steve Henson]
8209
8210 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8211 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8212 [Ben Laurie]
8213
8214 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8215 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8216 [Steve Henson]
8217
8218 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8219 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8220 [Steve Henson]
8221
8222 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8223 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8224 [Steve Henson]
8225
8226 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8227 support typesafe stack.
8228 [Steve Henson]
8229
8230 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8231 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8232
8233 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8234 old X509V3 handling code.
8235 [Steve Henson]
8236
8237 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8238 [Ulf Möller]
8239
8240 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8241 [Bodo Moeller]
8242
8243 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8244 [Ben Laurie]
8245
8246 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8247 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8248
8249 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8250 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8251 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8252 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8253 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8254 [Ben Laurie]
8255
8256 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8257 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8258 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8259 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8260 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8261
8262 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8263 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8264 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8265 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8266
8267 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8268 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8269 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8270 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8271
8272 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8273 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8274 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8275 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8276 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8277 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8278 [Bodo Moeller]
8279
8280 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8281 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8282 [Bodo Moeller]
8283
8284 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8285 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8286 [Ulf Möller]
8287
8288 *) Tweaks to Configure
8289 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8290
8291 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8292 yet...
8293 [Steve Henson]
8294
8295 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8296 [Ulf Möller]
8297
8298 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8299 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8300 [Ulf Möller]
8301
8302 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8303 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8304 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8305 [Bodo Moeller]
8306
8307 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8308 [Bodo Moeller]
8309
8310 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8311 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8312 [Steve Henson]
8313
8314 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8315 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8316 to library startup routines.
8317 [Steve Henson]
8318
8319 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8320 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8321 codes along the way.
8322 [Steve Henson]
8323
8324 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8325 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8326 objects to objects.h
8327 [Steve Henson]
8328
8329 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8330 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8331 [Steve Henson]
8332
8333 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8334 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8335
8336 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8337 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8338 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8339
8340 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8341 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8342 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8343
8344 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8345 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8346 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8347
8348
8349 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8350
8351 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8352 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8353 [Ben Laurie]
8354
8355 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8356 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8357 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8358 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8359 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8360
8361 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8362 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8363 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8364 document.
8365 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8366
8367 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8368 Malloc, Free.
8369 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8370
8371 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8372 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8373
8374 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8375 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8376 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8377 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8378
8379 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8380 [Ben Laurie]
8381
8382 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8383 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8384 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8385 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8386 [Steve Henson]
8387
8388 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8389 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8390 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8391 [Steve Henson]
8392
8393 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8394 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8395 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8396 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8397 installed as `perl').
8398 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8399
8400 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8401 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8402
8403 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8404 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8405 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8406 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8407 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8408 [Steve Henson]
8409
8410 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8411 [Ben Laurie]
8412
8413 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8414 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8415 is horrible: I feel ill....
8416 [Steve Henson]
8417
8418 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8419 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8420 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8421 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8422 [Steve Henson]
8423
8424 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8425 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8426
8427 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8428 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8429 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8430 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8431
8432 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8433 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8434 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8435 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8436 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8437 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8438 openssl_bio.xs.
8439 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8440
8441 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8442 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8443
8444 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8445 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8446
8447 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8448 [Ben Laurie]
8449
8450 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8451 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8452 in CRLs.
8453 [Steve Henson]
8454
8455 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8456 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8457 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8458 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8459 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8460 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8461 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8462 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8463 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8464 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8465 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8466
8467 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8468 [Ben Laurie]
8469
8470 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8471 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8472 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8473 for linking it into DSOs.
8474 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8475
8476 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8477 Fixed.
8478 [Ben Laurie]
8479
8480 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8481 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8482 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8483 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8484 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8485 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8486
8487 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8488 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8489 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8490 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8491 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8492 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8493 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8494
8495 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8496 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8497 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8498 encryption.
8499 [Ben Laurie]
8500
8501 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8502 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8503 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8504 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8505 [Steve Henson]
8506
8507 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8508 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8509 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8510 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8511 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8512 field as blank.
8513 [Steve Henson]
8514
8515 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8516 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8517 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8518 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8519 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8520
8521 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8522 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8523 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8524
8525 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8526 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8527
8528 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8529 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8530 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8531 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8532 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8533 [Steve Henson]
8534
8535 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8536 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8537 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8538 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8539 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8540 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8541 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8542 [Ben Laurie]
8543
8544 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8545 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
8546 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8547 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8548 [Ben Laurie]
8549
8550 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8551 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8552
8553 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8554 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8555 [Steve Henson]
8556
8557 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8558 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8559 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8560 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8561 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8562 (e.g. s_server).
8563 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8564 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8565 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8566 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8567 no way to reconfigure them.
8568 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8569 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8570 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8571 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8572 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8573 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8574
8575 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8576 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8577 recognized by the users.
8578 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8579
8580 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8581 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8582 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8583 already masked variable.
8584 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8585
8586 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8587 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8588
8589 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8590 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8591 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8592 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8593
8594 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8595 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8596 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8597
8598 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8599 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8600 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8601 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8602 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8603 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8604 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8605 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8606 now, too.
8607 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8608
8609 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8610 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8611 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8612
8613 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8614 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8615 config file.
8616 [Steve Henson]
8617
8618 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8619 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8620
8621 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8622 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8623 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8624 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8625 [Ben Laurie]
8626
8627 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8628 [Steve Henson]
8629
8630 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8631 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8632
8633 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8634 [Ben Laurie]
8635
8636 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8637 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8638 [Steve Henson]
8639
8640 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8641 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8642 [Steve Henson]
8643
8644 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8645 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8646 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8647 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8648 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8649 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8650 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8651 Ben Laurie]
8652
8653 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8654 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8655
8656 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8657 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8658 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8659 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8660 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8661
8662 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8663 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8664 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8665 [Steve Henson]
8666
8667 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8668 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8669 an example.
8670 [Steve Henson]
8671
8672 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8673 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8674 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8675
8676 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8677 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8678 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8679 build instructions.
8680 [Steve Henson]
8681
8682 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8683 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8684 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8685 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8686 [Steve Henson]
8687
8688 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8689 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8690 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8691 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8692 [Ben Laurie]
8693
8694 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8695 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8696 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8697 so it wasn't spotted.
8698 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8699
8700 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8701 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8702 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8703 vectors if you have them.
8704 [Ben Laurie]
8705
8706 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8707 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8708 [Ben Laurie]
8709
8710 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8711 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8712 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8713 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8714 If you do a:
8715 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8716 it will update them.
8717 [Steve Henson]
8718
8719 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8720 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8721 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8722 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8723 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8724 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8725 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8726 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8727
8728 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8729 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8730 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8731 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8732 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8733 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8734 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8735 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8736 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8737 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8738
8739 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8740 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8741 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8742 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8743 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8744 [Steve Henson]
8745
8746 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8747 INTEGER code.
8748 [Steve Henson]
8749
8750 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8751 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8752
8753 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8754 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8755
8756 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8757 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8758 [Ben Laurie]
8759
8760 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8761 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8762
8763 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8764 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8765
8766 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8767 [Steve Henson]
8768
8769 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8770 few typos.
8771 [Steve Henson]
8772
8773 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8774 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8775 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8776 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8777
8778 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8779 [Steve Henson]
8780
8781 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8782 [Steve Henson]
8783
8784 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8785 [Steve Henson]
8786
8787 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8788 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8789 [Steve Henson]
8790
8791 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8792 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8793 CA extensions.
8794 [Steve Henson]
8795
8796 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8797 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8798 [Steve Henson]
8799
8800 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8801 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8802 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8803 [Steve Henson]
8804
8805 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8806 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8807 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8808 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8809 properly to be processed.
8810 [Steve Henson]
8811
8812 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8813 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8814 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8815 [Ben Laurie]
8816
8817 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8818 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8819
8820 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8821 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8822 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8823 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8824 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8825 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8826 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8827 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8828 or delete all the .err files.
8829 [Steve Henson]
8830
8831 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8832 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8833 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8834 to regenerate it if needed.
8835 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8836 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8837
8838 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8839 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8840
8841 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8842 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8843 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8844 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8845 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8846 [Steve Henson]
8847
8848 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8849 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8850
8851 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8852 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8853
8854 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8855 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8856 error, but didn't set one).
8857 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8858
8859 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8860 [Ben Laurie]
8861
8862 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8863 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8864 [Steve Henson]
8865
8866 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8867 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8868
8869 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8870 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8871 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8872 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8873 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8874 OID is not part of the table.
8875 [Steve Henson]
8876
8877 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8878 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8879 [Ben Laurie]
8880
8881 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8882 [Ben Laurie]
8883
8884 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8885 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8886 was "1234").
8887 [Steve Henson]
8888
8889 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8890 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8891
8892 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8893 NULL pointers.
8894 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8895
8896 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8897 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8898
8899 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8900 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8901
8902 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8903 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8904
8905 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8906 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8907 [Ben Laurie]
8908
8909 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8910 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8911 [Steve Henson]
8912
8913 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8914 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8915
8916 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8917 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8918
8919 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8920 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8921
8922 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8923 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8924
8925 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8926 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8927 unused in the certificate verification process.
8928 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8929
8930 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8931 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8932 [Steve Henson]
8933
8934 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8935 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8936 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8937
8938 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8939 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8940 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8941 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8942 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8943
8944 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8945 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8946 [Steve Henson]
8947
8948 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8949 [Steve Henson]
8950
8951 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8952 [Paul Sutton]
8953
8954 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8955 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8956
8957 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8958 [Ben Laurie]
8959
8960 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8961 [Ben Laurie]
8962
8963 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8964 [Ben Laurie]
8965
8966 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8967 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8968 other error libraries.
8969 [Steve Henson]
8970
8971 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8972 [Steve Henson]
8973
8974 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8975 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8976 be read in.
8977 [Steve Henson]
8978
8979 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8980 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8981 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8982 the new set of documenation files.
8983 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8984
8985 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8986 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8987 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8988 number of arguments.
8989 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8990
8991 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8992 [Ben Laurie]
8993
8994 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8995 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8996 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8997
8998 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8999 [Ben Laurie]
9000
9001 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9002 nextstep
9003 ncr-scde
9004 unixware-2.0
9005 unixware-2.0-pentium
9006 sco5-cc.
9007 [Ben Laurie]
9008
9009 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9010 before they are needed.
9011 [Ben Laurie]
9012
9013 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9014 [Ben Laurie]
9015
9016
9017 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9018
9019 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9020 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9021 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9022
9023 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9024 [Paul Sutton]
9025
9026 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9027 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9028 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9029
9030 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9031 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9032 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9033
9034 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9035 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9036 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9037
9038 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9039 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9040
9041 *) Updated the README file.
9042 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9043
9044 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9045 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9046 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9047
9048 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9049 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9050 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9051
9052 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9053 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9054 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9055 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9056 o removed obsolete TODO file
9057 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9058 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9059
9060 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9061 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9062 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
9063 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
9064 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
9065 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9066 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9067
9068 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9069 [Mark J. Cox]
9070
9071 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9072 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9073 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9074 summer 1998.
9075 [The OpenSSL Project]
9076
9077
9078 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9079
9080 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9081 [Eric A. Young]
9082
9083 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9084 [Eric A. Young]
9085
9086 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9087 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9088 [Eric A. Young]
9089
9090 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9091 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9092 available).
9093 [Eric A. Young]
9094
9095 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9096 binary structures
9097 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9098
9099 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9100 [Eric A. Young]
9101
9102 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9103 [Eric A. Young]
9104
9105 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9106 [Eric A. Young]
9107
9108 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9109 [Eric A. Young]
9110
9111 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9112 [Eric A. Young]
9113
9114 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9115 [Eric A. Young]
9116
9117 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9118 [Eric A. Young]
9119
9120 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9121 [Eric A. Young]
9122
9123 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9124 [Eric A. Young]
9125
9126 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9127 [Eric A. Young]
9128
9129 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9130 [Eric A. Young]
9131
9132 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9133 [Eric A. Young]
9134
9135 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9136 [Eric A. Young]
9137
9138 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9139 [Eric A. Young]
9140
9141 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9142 [Eric A. Young]
9143
9144 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9145 [Eric A. Young]
9146
9147 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9148 [Eric A. Young]
9149
