5 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
8 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
9 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
10 and serial number. Check and proces CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
11
12 This work was sponsored by Google.
13 [Steve Henson]
14
15 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
16 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
17 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
18 CRL functionality in future.
19
20 This work was sponsored by Google.
21 [Steve Henson]
22
23 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
24
25 This work was sponsored by Google.
26 [Steve Henson]
27
28 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
29 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
30
31 This work was sponsored by Google.
32 [Steve Henson]
33
34 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
35 and URI types are currently supported.
36
37 This work was sponsored by Google.
38 [Steve Henson]
39
40 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
41 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
42 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
43 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
44 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
45 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
46 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
47 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
48
49 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
50 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
51 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
52
53 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
54 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
55 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
56 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
57
58 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
59 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
60 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
61 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
62 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
63 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
64 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
65 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
66 of &errno.)
67 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
68
69 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
70 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
71 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
72
73 This work was sponsored by Google.
74 [Steve Henson]
75
76 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
77 [Ben Laurie]
78
79 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
80 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
81 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
82 [Ben Laurie]
83
84 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
85 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
86 [Nick Mathewson]
87
88 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
89 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
90 [Ben Laurie]
91
92 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
93 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
94 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
95 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
96 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
97 content types and variants.
98 [Steve Henson]
99
100 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
101 [Steve Henson]
102
103 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
104 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
105 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
106 files from the associated perl scripts.
107 [Steve Henson]
108
109 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
110 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
111 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
112
113 *) s390x assembler pack.
114 [Andy Polyakov]
115
116 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
117 "family."
118 [Andy Polyakov]
119
120 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
121 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
122 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
123 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
124 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
125 to use. For example, specify an option
126
127 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
128
129 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
130 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
131 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
132 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
133 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
134 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
135
136 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
137 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
138 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
139 return non-zero for success.
140
141 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
142 by using
143
144 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
145 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
146
147 where
148
149 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
150 void *arg;
151
152 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
153 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
154 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
155 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
156 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
157 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
158 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
159 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
160 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
161
162 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
163 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
164 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
165 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
166 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
167 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
168
169 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
170 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
171 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
172 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
173 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
174 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
175
176 [Bodo Moeller]
177
178 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
179 MAC.
180
181 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
182
183 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
184 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
185 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
186 supported.
187
188 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
189 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
190 SSL_SESSION.
191
192 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
193 protection in servers so again support should be possible
194 with no application modification.
195
196 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
197 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
198
199 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
200 or server extensions to be examined.
201
202 This work was sponsored by Google.
203 [Steve Henson]
204
205 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
206 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
207 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
208
209 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
210 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
211 ciphersuite support.
212 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
213
214 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
215 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
216 to output in BER and PEM format.
217 [Steve Henson]
218
219 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
220 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
221 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
222 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
223 -macopt options to dgst utility.
224 [Steve Henson]
225
226 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
227 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
228 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
229 utility.
230 [Steve Henson]
231
232 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
233 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
234 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
235 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
236 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
237 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
238 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
239 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
240 enabled again.
241
242 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
243 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
244 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
245 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
246
247 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
248 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
249 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
250 the default order.
251 [Bodo Moeller]
252
253 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
254 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
255 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
256 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
257 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
258 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
259 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
260 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
261 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
262
263 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
264 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
265 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
266 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
267 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
268 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
269 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
270 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
271 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
272 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
273 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
274 kinds of kludges.
275
276 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
277 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
278 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
279
280 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
281 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
282 "CAMELLIA256".
283 [Bodo Moeller]
284
285 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
286 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
287 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
288 [Nils Larsch]
289
290 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
291 it yet and it is largely untested.
292 [Steve Henson]
293
294 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
295 [Nils Larsch]
296
297 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
298 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
299 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
300 [Steve Henson]
301
302 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
303 [Andy Polyakov]
304
305 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
306 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
307 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
308 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
309 [Steve Henson]
310
311 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
312 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
313 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
314 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
315 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
316 [Steve Henson]
317
318 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
319 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
320 [Cryptocom]
321
322 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
323 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
324 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
325 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
326 [Steve Henson]
327
328 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
329 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
330 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
331 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
332 [Steve Henson]
333
334 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
335 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
336 [Steve Henson]
337
338 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
339 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
340 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
341 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
342 [Steve Henson]
343
344 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
345 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
346 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
347 [Steve Henson]
348
349 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
350 utility.
351 [Steve Henson]
352
353 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
354 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
355 [Steve Henson]
356
357 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
358 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
359 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
360 if necessary.
361 [Steve Henson]
362
363 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
364 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
365 to free up any added signature OIDs.
366 [Steve Henson]
367
368 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
369 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
370 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
371 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
372 [Steve Henson]
373
374 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
375 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
376 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
377 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
378 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
379 the array representation useful in a more general context.
380 [Douglas Stebila]
381
382 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
383 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
384 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
385 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
386 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
387
388 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
389 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
390 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
391 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
392 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
393 protocol).
394
395 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
396 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
397 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
398 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
399
400 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
401 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
402 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
403 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
404 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
405
406 aECDH - ECDH cert
407 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
408 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
409
410 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
411 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
412
413 [Bodo Moeller]
414
415 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
416 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
417 [Steve Henson]
418
419 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
420 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
421 [Steve Henson]
422
423 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
424 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
425 functional reference processing.
426 [Steve Henson]
427
428 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
429 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
430 process.
431 [Steve Henson]
432
433 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
434 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
435 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
436 [Steve Henson]
437
438 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
439 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
440 application to support multiple signers.
441 [Steve Henson]
442
443 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
444 digest MAC.
445 [Steve Henson]
446
447 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
448 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
449 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
450 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
451 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
452 [Steve Henson]
453
454 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
455 new API.
456 [Steve Henson]
457
458 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
459 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
460 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
461 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
462 a no op.
463 [Steve Henson]
464
465 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
466 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
467 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
468 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
469 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
470 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
471 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
472 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
473 [Steve Henson]
474
475 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
476 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
477 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
478 between digests and public key types.
479 [Steve Henson]
480
481 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
482 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
483 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
484 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
485 [Steve Henson]
486
487 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
488 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
489 key ASN1 method.
490 [Steve Henson]
491
492 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
493 [Steve Henson]
494
495 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
496 pkeyutl.
497 [Steve Henson]
498
499 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
500 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
501 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
502 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
503 pkey, genpkey.
504 [Steve Henson]
505
506 *) BeOS support.
507 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
508
509 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
510 manual pages.
511 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
512
513 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
514 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
515 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
516 functionality for RSA.
517 [Steve Henson]
518
519 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
520 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
521 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
522 [Steve Henson]
523
524 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
525 key API, doesn't do much yet.
526 [Steve Henson]
527
528 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
529 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
530 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
531 [Steve Henson]
532
533 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
534 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
535 [Douglas Stebila]
536
537 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
538 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
539 [Steve Henson]
540
541 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
542 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
543 type.
544 [Steve Henson]
545
546 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
547 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
548 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
549 structure.
550 [Steve Henson]
551
552 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
553 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
554 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
555 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
556 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
557 of public and private key structures.
558 [Steve Henson]
559
560 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
561 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
562 [Douglas Stebila]
563
564 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
565 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
566 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
567
568 New ciphersuites:
569 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
570 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
571
572 New functions:
573 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
574 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
575 SSL_get_psk_identity
576 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
577
578 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
579
580 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
581 and response verification functionality.
582 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
583
584 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
585 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
586 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
587 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
588 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
589 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
590 server_name extension.
591
592 New functions (subject to change):
593
594 SSL_get_servername()
595 SSL_get_servername_type()
596 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
597
598 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
599
600 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
601 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
602 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
603 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
604 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
605
606 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
607
608 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
609 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
610 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
611 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
612 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
613 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
614 option.
615
616 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
617
618 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
619 [Andy Polyakov]
620
621 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
622 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
623 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
624 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
625 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
626 [Andy Polyakov]
627
628 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
629 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
630 macro.
631 [Bodo Moeller]
632
633 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
634 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
635 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
636 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
637 [Andy Polyakov]
638
639 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
640 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
641 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
642 using the maximum available value.
643 [Steve Henson]
644
645 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
646 in addition to the text details.
647 [Bodo Moeller]
648
649 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
650 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
651 handle several customised structures at all.
652 [Steve Henson]
653
654 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
655 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
656 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
657 [Steve Henson]
658
659 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
660 [Steve Henson]
661
662 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
663 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
664 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
665 [Steve Henson]
666
667 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
668 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
669 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
670 [Nils Larsch]
671
672 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
673 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
674 all fields.
675 [Steve Henson]
676
677 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
678 [Steve Henson]
679
680 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
681 [NTT]
682
683 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [xx XXX xxxx]
684
685 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
686 [Steve Henson]
687
688 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
689 [Huang Ying]
690
691 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
692
693 This work was sponsored by Logica.
694 [Steve Henson]
695
696 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
697 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
698 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
699
700 This work was sponsored by Logica.
701 [Steve Henson]
702
703 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
704
705 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
706 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
707 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
708 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
709
710 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
711 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
712 [Joe Orton]
713
714 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
715
716 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
717 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
718 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
719
720 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
721
722 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
723 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
724 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
725 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
726 [Lutz Jaenicke]
727
728 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
729 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
730 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
731 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
732 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
733 invalid read after the end of 'db').
734 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
735
736 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
737 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
738 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
739 sets may exist with different names.
740 [Steve Henson]
741
742 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
743 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
744 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
745 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
746 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
747 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
748 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
749 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
750 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
751 implementation.
752 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
753
754 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
755 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
756 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
757 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>, Geoff Thorpe]
758
759 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
760 uncompresses any data passed through it.
761 [Steve Henson]
762
763 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
764 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
765 [Steve Henson]
766
767 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
768 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
769 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
770 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
771 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
772 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
773 data.
774 [Steve Henson]
775
776 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
777 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
778 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
779
780 *) Netware support:
781
782 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
783 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
784 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
785 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
786 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
787 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
788 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
789 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
790 platform
791 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
792 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
793 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
794 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
795 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
796 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
797 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
798
799 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
800 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
801 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
802 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
803 to s_client and s_server.
804 [Steve Henson]
805
806 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
807
808 *) Fix various bugs:
809 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
810 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
811 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
812 + Fix ia64 assembler code
813 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
814
815 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
816
817 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
818 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
819 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
820 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
821 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
822 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
823 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
824 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
825 [Andy Polyakov]
826
827 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
828 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
829 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
830 Steve Henson]
831
832 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
833 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
834 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
835 supported.
836
837 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
838 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
839 SSL_SESSION.
840
841 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
842 protection in servers so again support should be possible
843 with no application modification.
844
845 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
846 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
847
848 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
849 or server extensions to be examined.
850
851 This work was sponsored by Google.
852 [Steve Henson]
853
854 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
855 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
856 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
857 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
858 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
859 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
860 server_name extension.
861
862 New functions (subject to change):
863
864 SSL_get_servername()
865 SSL_get_servername_type()
866 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
867
868 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
869
870 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
871 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
872 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
873 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
874 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
875
876 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
877
878 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
879 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
880 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
881 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
882 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
883 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
884 option.
885
886 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
887
888 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
889 [Steve Henson]
890
891 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
892 [Andy Polyakov]
893
894 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
895 (which previously caused an internal error).
896 [Bodo Moeller]
897
898 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
899 [Ben Laurie]
900
901 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
902 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
903
904 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
905 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
906 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
907
908 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
909 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
910 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
911 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
912
913 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
914 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
915 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
916 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
917
918 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
919 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
920 information. For detailed background information, see
921 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
922 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
923 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
924 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
925 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
926 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
927 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
928 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
929 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
930 remove a conditional branch.
931
932 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
933 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
934 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
935 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
936 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
937 remains as a deprecated alias.
938
939 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
940 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
941 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
942 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
943
944 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
945 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
946 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
947 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
948 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
949 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
950 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
951 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
952
953 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
954
955 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
956 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
957 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
958 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
959 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
960 with applications using a single external cache for quite
961 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
962 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
963 in a different context.
964 [Bodo Moeller]
965
966 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
967 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
968 authentication-only ciphersuites.
969 [Bodo Moeller]
970
971 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
972
973 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
974 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
975 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
976 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
977 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
978 [Victor Duchovni]
979
980 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
981 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
982 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
983 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
984 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
985 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
986 [Bodo Moeller]
987
988 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
989 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
990 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
991 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
992 message has informed the client about his choice.)
993 [Bodo Moeller]
994
995 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
996 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
997
998 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
999 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1000 Improve header file function name parsing.
1001 [Steve Henson]
1002
1003 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1004 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1005 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
1006
1007 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1008
1009 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1010 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1011 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1012
1013 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1014 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1015
1016 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1017 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1018
1019 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1020 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1021 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1022
1023 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1024 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1025 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1026 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1027 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1028 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1029 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1030 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1031 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1032
1033 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1034 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1035 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1036 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1037 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1038
1039 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1040 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1041 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1042 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1043 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1044 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1045 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1046 multiple values to extend the available space.

1048 [Bodo Moeller]
1049
1050 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1051
1052 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1053 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1054
1055 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1056 [Ben Laurie]
1057
1058 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1059 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1060 undesirable limitations.
1061 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1062
1063 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1064 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1065 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1066 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1067 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1068 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1069 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1070 [Bodo Moeller]
1071
1072 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1073
1074 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1075 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1076 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1077
1078 The latter two were purportedly from
1079 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1080 appear there.
1081
1082 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1083 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1084 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1085 [Bodo Moeller]
1086
1087 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1088 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1089 [Bodo Moeller]
1090
1091 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1092 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1093 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1094 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1095
1096 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1097 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1098 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1099 [NTT]
1100
1101 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1102 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1103 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1104 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1105 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1106 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1107 [Steve Henson]
1108
1109 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1110
1111 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1112 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1113 [Steve Henson]
1114
1115 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1116 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1117
1118 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1119 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1120 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1121 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1122 [Douglas Stebila]
1123
1124 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1125 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1126 [Steve Henson]
1127
1128 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1129 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1130 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1131 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1132 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1133 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1134 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1135 can't be loaded.
1136 [Steve Henson]
1137
1138 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1139 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1140 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1141 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1142 [Steve Henson]
1143
1144 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1145 under VC++ build system.
1146 [Steve Henson]
1147
1148 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1149 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1150 [Richard Levitte]
1151
1152 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1153
1154 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1155 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1156 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1157 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1158 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1159
1160 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1161 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1162 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1163
1164 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1165 [Steve Henson]
1166
1167 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1168 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1169 [Nils Larsch]
1170
1171 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1172 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1173
1174 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1175 [Nick Mathewson]
1176
1177 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1178 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1179
1180 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1181 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1182 [Steve Henson]
1183
1184 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1185 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1186 smime utility.
1187 [Steve Henson]
1188
1189 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1190
1191 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1192 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1193
1194 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1195 [Richard Levitte]
1196
1197 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1198 key into the same file any more.
1199 [Richard Levitte]
1200
1201 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1202 [Andy Polyakov]
1203
1204 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1205 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1206
1207 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1208 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1209 [Richard Levitte]
1210
1211 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1212 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1213 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1214 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1215 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1216 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1217
1218 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1219 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1220 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1221 [Steve Henson]
1222
1223 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1224 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1225 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1226 - add new function for parameter creation
1227 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1228 BN_BLINDING parameters
1229 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1230 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1231 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1232 threads.
1233 [Nils Larsch]
1234
1235 *) Add support for DTLS.
1236 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1237
1238 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1239 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1240 [Walter Goulet]
1241
1242 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1243 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1244 [Nils Larsch]
1245
1246 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1247 the apps/openssl applications.
1248 [Nils Larsch]
1249
1250 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1251 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1252 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1253 [Ben Laurie]
1254
1255 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1256 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1257
1258 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1259 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1260
1261 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1262 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1263 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1264 avoid this algorithm.)
1265
1266 [Bodo Moeller]
1267
1268 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1269 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1270 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1271 [Richard Levitte]
1272
1273 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1274 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1275 [Andy Polyakov]
1276
1277 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1278 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1279 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1280 pod file:
1281
1282 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1283
1284 The blank line is mandatory.
1285
1286 [Steve Henson]
1287
1288 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1289 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1290 sources.
1291 [Steve Henson]
1292
1293 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1294 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1295
1296 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1297 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1298 to support policy checking and print out.
1299 [Steve Henson]
1300
1301 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1302 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1303 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1304 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1305
1306 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1307 [Geoff Thorpe]
1308
1309 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1310 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1311
1312 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1313 implementation contributed by IBM.
1314 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1315
1316 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1317 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1318 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1319 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1320
1321 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1322 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1323
1324 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1325 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1326 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1327 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1328 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1329 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1330 [Steve Henson]
1331
1332 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1333 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1334 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1335 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1336 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1337 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1338 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1339 [Geoff Thorpe]
1340
1341 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1342 [Steve Henson]
1343
1344 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1345 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1346 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1347 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1348 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1349 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1350 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1351 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1352 [Steve Henson]
1353
1354 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1355 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1356 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1357 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1358 [Steve Henson]
1359
1360 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1361 syntax:
1362
1363 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1364 [Steve Henson]
1365
1366 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1367 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1368 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1369 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1370 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1371 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1372 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1373 [Geoff Thorpe]
1374
1375 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1376 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1377 [Geoff Thorpe]
1378
1379 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1380 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1381 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1382 [Steve Henson]
1383
1384 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1385 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1386 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1387 below).
1388 [Geoff Thorpe]
1389
1390 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1391 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1392 [Richard Levitte]
1393
1394 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1395 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1396 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1397 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1398 [Geoff Thorpe]
1399
1400 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1401 initialised value as BN_new().
1402 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1403
1404 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1405 [Steve Henson]
1406
1407 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1408 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1409 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1410 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1411 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1412 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1413 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1414 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1415 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1416 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1417 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1418 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1419 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1420 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1421 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1422
1423 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1424 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1425 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1426 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1427 [Geoff Thorpe]
1428
1429 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1430 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1431 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1432 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1433 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1434 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1435 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1436 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1437 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1438 [Geoff Thorpe]
1439
1440 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1441 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1442 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1443 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1444 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1445 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1446 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1447 [Geoff Thorpe]
1448
1449 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1450 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1451 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1452 these have been updated also.
1453 [Geoff Thorpe]
1454
1455 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1456 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1457 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1458 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1459 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1460 functions.
1461 [Steve Henson]
1462
1463 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1464 structure of type "other".
1465 [Steve Henson]
1466
1467 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1468 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1469 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1470 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1471 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1472 situation in the script.
1473 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1474
1475 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1476 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1477 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1478 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1479 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1480 used as premaster secret.
1481 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1482
1483 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1484 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1485 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1486
1487 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1488 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1489
1490 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1491 control of the error stack.
1492 [Richard Levitte]
1493
1494 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1495 [Richard Levitte]
1496
1497 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1498 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1499 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1500 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1501 [Richard Levitte]
1502
1503 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1504 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1505 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1506 [Richard Levitte]
1507
1508 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1509 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1510 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1511 a memory area.
1512 [Richard Levitte]
1513
1514 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1515 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1516 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1517 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1518 [Richard Levitte]
1519
1520 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1521 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1522 the following flags are defined:
1523
1524 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1525 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1526 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1527 number.
1528
1529 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1530 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1531 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1532 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1533 returns zero.
1534 [Richard Levitte]
1535
1536 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1537 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1538 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1539 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1540 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1541 [Richard Levitte]
1542
1543 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1544 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1545 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1546 [Richard Levitte]
1547
1548 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1549 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1550 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1551 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1552 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1553 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1554 [Richard Levitte]
1555
1556 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1557 req and dirName.
1558 [Steve Henson]
1559
1560 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1561 [Steve Henson]
1562
1563 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1564 [Steve Henson]
1565
1566 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1567 [Steve Henson]
1568
1569 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1570 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1571 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1572 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1573 default implementation more easily.
1574 [Geoff Thorpe]
1575
1576 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1577 in config files.
1578 [Steve Henson]
1579
1580 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1581 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1582 [Richard Levitte]
1583
1584 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1585 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1586 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1587 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1588
1589 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1590 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1591 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1592 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1593 [Steve Henson]
1594
1595 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1596 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1597 to do it.
1598 [Richard Levitte]
1599
1600 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1601 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1602 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1603 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1604 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1605 scalar * generator).
1606 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1607
1608 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1609 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1610 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1611 correctly.
1612 [Steve Henson]
1613
1614 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1615 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1616 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1617 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1618 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1619 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1620 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1621 linker additions, eg;
1622 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1623 [Geoff Thorpe]
1624
1625 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1626 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1627 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1628 [Geoff Thorpe]
1629
1630 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1631 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1632 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1633 via PR#459)
1634 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1635
1636 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1637 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1638 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1639 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1640 [Geoff Thorpe]
1641
1642 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1643 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1644 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1645 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1646 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1647 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1648 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1649 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1650 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1651 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1652
1653 Example for using the new callback interface:
1654
1655 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1656 void *my_arg = ...;
1657 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1658
1659 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1660
1661 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1662 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1663 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1664 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1665 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1666 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1667 */
1668
1669 [Geoff Thorpe]
1670
1671 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1672 available to TLS with the number defined in
1673 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1674 [Richard Levitte]
1675
1676 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1677 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1678
1679 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1680 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1681 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1682 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1683
1684 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1685 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1686
1687 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1688 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1689 well.
1690 [Richard Levitte]
1691
1692 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1693 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1694 [Richard Levitte]
1695
1696 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1697 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1698 and a macro that behave like
1699 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1700
1701 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1702 [Nils Larsch]
1703
1704 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1705 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1706 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1707 if applicable.
1708 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1709
1710 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1711 [Bodo Moeller]
1712
1713 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1714 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1715 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1716 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1717 directory engines/.
1718 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1719 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1720 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1721 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1722 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1723 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1724 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1725 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1726
1727 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1728 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1729 [Richard Levitte]
1730
1731 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1732 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1733
1734 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1735 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1736 files while avoiding the low level API.
1737
1738 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1739 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1740 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1741 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1742
1743 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1744 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1745 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1746 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1747 instead of the low level API.
1748 [Steve Henson]
1749
1750 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1751 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1752 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1753 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1754 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1755 PKCS#7 code.
1756
1757 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1758 down to the template encoder.
1759 [Steve Henson]
1760
1761 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1762 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1763 [Bodo Moeller]
1764
1765 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1766 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1767 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1768 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1769
1770 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1771 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1772
1773 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1774 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1775
1776 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1777 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1778 [Bodo Moeller]
1779
1780 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1781 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1782 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1783 [Bodo Moeller]
1784
1785 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1786 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1787
1788 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1789 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1790
1791 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1792 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1793 New EC_METHOD:
1794
1795 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1796
1797 New API functions:
1798
1799 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1800 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1801 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1802 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1803 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1804 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1805
1806 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1807 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1808 enable it).
1809
1810 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1811 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1812 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1813 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1814 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1815 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1816 various internal method names.)
1817
1818 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1819 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1820
1821 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1822 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1823
1824 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1825 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1826
1827 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1828 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1829 methods are undefined.
1830
1831 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1832 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1833
1834 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1835 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1836 length of the modulus.
1837
1838 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1839 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1840
1841 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1842 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1843
1844 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1845 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1846
1847 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1848 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1849 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1850
1851 BN_GF2m_add
1852 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1853 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1854 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1855 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1856 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
1857 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1858 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1859 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1860 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1861
1862 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1863 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1864
1865 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1866 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1867 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1868 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1869 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1870 where
1871 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1872 This applies to the following functions:
1873
1874 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
1875 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
1876 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
1877 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1878 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1879 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
1880 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1881 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1882 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1883 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1884
1885 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1886
1887 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1888 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1889
1890 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1891
1892 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1893 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1894 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1895 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1896 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1897
1898 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1899 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1900
1901 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1902 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1903 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1904
1905 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1906 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1907
1908 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1909 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1910 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1911 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1912 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1913
1914 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1915 functions
1916 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1917 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1918 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1919 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1920 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1921 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1922 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1923 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1924 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1925 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1926 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1927 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1928
1929 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1930 functions
1931 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
1932 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1933 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1934 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1935 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1936
1937 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1938 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1939 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1940 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1941
1942 *) Add functions
1943 EC_POINT_point2bn()
1944 EC_POINT_bn2point()
1945 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1946 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1947 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1948 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1949 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1950
1951 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1952 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1953 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1954 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1955 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1956 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1957 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1958 adding different types of curves.
1959 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1960
1961 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1962 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1963 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1964 [Bodo Moeller]
1965
1966 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1967 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1968
1969 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1970 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1971 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1972 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1973
1974 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1975
1976 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1977 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1978
1979 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1980 library. Most notably,
1981 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1982 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1983 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1984 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1985 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1986 extracted before the specific public key;
1987 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1988 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1989
1990 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1991 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1992 function
1993 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1994 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1995 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1996 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1997 accessed via
1998 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1999 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2000 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2001
2002 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2003 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2004 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2005 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2006 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2007 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2008 differing sizes.
2009 [Richard Levitte]
2010
2011 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2012
2013 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2014 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2015 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2016 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2017 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2018 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2019 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2020 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2021 in a different context.
2022 [Bodo Moeller]
2023
2024 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2025
2026 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2027 sensitive data.
2028 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2029
2030 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2031 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2032 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2033 [Bodo Moeller]
2034
2035 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2036 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2037 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2038 [Victor Duchovni]
2039
2040 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2041 [Steve Henson]
2042
2043 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2044 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2045 [Steve Henson]
2046
2047 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2048 run algorithm test programs.
2049 [Steve Henson]
2050
2051 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2052 [Steve Henson]
2053
2054 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2055 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2056 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2057 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2058 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2059 [Bodo Moeller]
2060
2061 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2062 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2063 [Steve Henson]
2064
2065 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2066
2067 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2068 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2069 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2070
2071 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2072 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2073
2074 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2075 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2076
2077 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2078 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2079 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2080
2081 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2082 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2083 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2084 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2085 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2086 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2087 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2088 [Bodo Moeller]
2089
2090 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2091
2092 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2093 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2094
2095 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2096 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2097 undesirable limitations.
2098 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2099
2100 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2101
2102 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2103 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2104 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2105
2106 The latter two were purportedly from
2107 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2108 appear there.
2109
2110 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2111 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2112 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2113 [Bodo Moeller]
2114
2115 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2116 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2117 [Bodo Moeller]
2118
2119 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2120
2121 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2122 module in FIPS mode.
2123 [Steve Henson]
2124
2125 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2126 [Steve Henson]
2127
2128 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2129 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2130 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2131 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2132 [Steve Henson]
2133
2134 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2135
2136 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2137 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2138 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2139 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2140 the difference induced by this change.
2141 [Andy Polyakov]
2142
2143 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2144
2145 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2146 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2147 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2148 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2149 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2150
2151 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2152 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2153 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2154
2155 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2156 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2157 [Steve Henson]
2158
2159 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2160 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2161 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2162 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2163 biased k.)
2164 [Bodo Moeller]
2165
2166 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2167 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2168 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2169 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2170 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2171
2172 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2173 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2174 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2175 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2176 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2177 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2178
2179 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2180
2181 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2182 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2183 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2184 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2185 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2186 [Bodo Moeller]
2187
2188 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2189 clients need.
2190 [Steve Henson]
2191
2192 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2193 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2194 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2195 [Steve Henson]
2196
2197 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2198 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2199 structures constant.
2200 [Steve Henson]
2201
2202 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2203
2204 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2205 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
2206
2207 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2208 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2209 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2210 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2211 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2212 some needed definitions.
2213 [Steve Henson]
2214
2215 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2216 [Ulf Möller]
2217
2218 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2219 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2220 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2221 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2222 [Richard Levitte]
2223
2224 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2225
2226 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2227 server and client random values. Previously
2228 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2229 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2230
2231 This change has negligible security impact because:
2232
2233 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2234 data.
2235
2236 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2237 handshake.
2238
2239 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2240 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2241 values.
2242
2243 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2244 to our attention.
2245
2246 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2247
2248 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2249 [Ulf Möller]
2250
2251 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2252 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2253 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2254
2255 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2256 [Steve Henson]
2257
2258 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2259 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2260 [Andy Polyakov]
2261
2262 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2263 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2264 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2265
2266 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2267 [Steve Henson]
2268
2269 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2270 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2271 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2272 certificates.
2273 [Steve Henson]
2274
2275 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2276 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2277 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2278 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2279
2280 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2281 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2282 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2283 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2284 been given)
2285 [Richard Levitte]
2286
2287 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2288
2289 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2290 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2291 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2292 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2293 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2294 [Steve Henson]
2295
2296 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2297 [Steve Henson]
2298
2299 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2300 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2301
2302 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2303 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2304 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2305 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2306 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2307 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2308 rather than being initialized to 1.
2309 [Steve Henson]
2310
2311 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2312
2313 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2314 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2315 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2316
2317 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2318 (CVE-2004-0112)
2319 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2320
2321 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2322 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2323 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2324 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2325 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2326 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2327 [Richard Levitte]
2328
2329 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2330 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2331 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2332 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2333 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2334 for these cases.
2335 [Steve Henson]
2336
2337 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2338 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2339 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2340 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2341 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2342 [Steve Henson]
2343
2344 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2345 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2346 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2347 < 0.9.7.
2348 [Steve Henson]
2349
2350 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2351 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2352
2353 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2354 [Steve Henson]
2355
2356 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2357
2358 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2359
2360 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2361 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2362
2363 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2364
2365 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2366 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2367
2368 [Steve Henson]
2369
2370 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2371 exiting on the first error in a request.
2372 [Steve Henson]
2373
2374 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2375 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2376 specifications.
2377 [Steve Henson]
2378
2379 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2380 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2381 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2382 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2383
2384 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2385 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2386 [Richard Levitte]
2387
2388 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2389 blocks during encryption.
2390 [Richard Levitte]
2391
2392 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2393 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2394 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2395 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2396 certain size.
2397 [Steve Henson]
2398
2399 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2400 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2401 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2402 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2403 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2404 parser.
2405 [Steve Henson]
2406
2407 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2408
2409 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2410 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2411 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2412 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2413 [Bodo Moeller]
2414
2415 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2416 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2417 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2418 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2419 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2420
2421 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2422 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2423 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2424 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2425 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2426 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2427 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2428 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2429 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2430 [Bodo Moeller]
2431
2432 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2433 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2434 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2435 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2436 [Geoff Thorpe]
2437
2438 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2439 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2440 [Ulf Moeller]
2441
2442 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2443
2444 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2445 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2446 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2447 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2448 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2449
2450 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2451 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2452 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2453
2454 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2455 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2456 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2457 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2458 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2459
2460 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2461 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2462 used by default when no-err is given.
2463 [Richard Levitte]
2464
2465 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2466 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2467
2468 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2469 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2470 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2471 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2472 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2473
2474 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2475 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2476 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2477 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2478
2479 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2480
2481 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2482
2483 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2484
2485 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2486 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2487 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2488 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2489 root is omitted).
2490 [Steve Henson]
2491
2492 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2493 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2494
2495 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2496 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2497 [Steve Henson]
2498
2499 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2500 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2501 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2502 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2503 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2504
2505 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2506 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2507 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2508 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2509 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2510 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2511 followup to PR #377.
2512 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2513
2514 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2515 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2516 [Andy Polyakov]
2517
2518 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2519 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2520 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2521 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2522
2523 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2524
2525 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2526 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
2527
2528 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2529 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2530 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2531 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2532 client and server.
2533 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2534 PR #377.
2535 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2536
2537 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2538 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2539 removed entirely.
2540 [Richard Levitte]
2541
2542 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2543 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2544 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2545 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2546 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2547 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2548 of libcrypto.
2549 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2550 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2551 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2552 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2553 have to be made anyway).
2554 [Richard Levitte]
2555
2556 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2557 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2558 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2559 [Steve Henson]
2560
2561 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2562 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2563 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2564 [Richard Levitte]
2565
2566 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2567 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2568 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2569
2570 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2571 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2572 edit numbers of the version.
2573 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2574
2575 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2576 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2577 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2578
2579 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2580 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2581
2582 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2583 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2584 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2585
2586 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2587 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2588
2589 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2590 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2591
2592 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2593 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2594
2595 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2596 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2597
2598 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2599 overflows.
2600 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2601
2602 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2603 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2604 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2605
2606 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2607 representations in a platform independent manner.
2608 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2609
2610 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2611 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2612 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2613
2614 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2615 indents.
2616 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2617
2618 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2619 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2620
2621 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2622 full. Fixed.
2623 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2624
2625 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2626 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2627 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2628
2629 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2630 unconditionally).
2631 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2632
2633 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2634 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2635
2636 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2637 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2638
2639 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2640 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2641
2642 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2643 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2644
2645 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2646 CBCParameter.
2647 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2648
2649 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2650 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2651
2652 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2653 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2654
2655 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2656 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2657 exploitable.
2658 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2659
2660 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2661 the 0.9.6 release series:
2662
2663 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2664 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2665 (CVE-2002-0657)
2666 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2667
2668 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2669 [Richard Levitte]
2670
2671 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2672 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2673
2674 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2675 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2676
2677 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2678 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2679 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2680 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2681
2682 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2683 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2684 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2685
2686 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2687 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2688 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2689 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2690
2691 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2692 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2693 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2694 some local tweaks:
2695
2696 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2697 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2698 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2699 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2700 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2701 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2702 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2703 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2704 done
2705
2706 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2707 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2708 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2709 [Richard Levitte]
2710
2711 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2712 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2713 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2714 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2715 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2716
2717 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2718 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2719
2720 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2721 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2722 [Richard Levitte]
2723
2724 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2725 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2726 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2727 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2728 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2729 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2730 [Steve Henson]
2731
2732 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2733 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2734 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2735 [Steve Henson]
2736
2737 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2738 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2739 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2740
2741 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2742 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2743 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2744 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2745 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2746 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2747 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2748 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2749
2750 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2751 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2752 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2753 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2754 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2755 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2756 [Steve Henson]
2757
2758 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2759 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2760 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2761 declaration has been changed from
2762 int (*cb)()
2763 into
2764 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2765 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2766 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2767 has been changed into
2768 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2769
2770 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2771 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2772 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2773
2774 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2775 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2776
2777 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2778 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2779 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2780 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2781 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2782 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2783 always load it have also been added.
2784 [Steve Henson]
2785
2786 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2787 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2788 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2789
2790 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2791
2792 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2793 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2794 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2795
2796 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2797 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2798 command line option can be used to specify an
2799 alternative file.
2800 [Steve Henson]
2801
2802 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2803 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2804 [Steve Henson]
2805
2806 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2807 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2808 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2809 [Steve Henson]
2810
2811 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2812 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2813 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2814 to work with the new engine framework.
2815 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2816
2817 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2818 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2819 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2820 to work with the new engine framework.
2821 [Richard Levitte]
2822
2823 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2824 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2825 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2826
2827 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2828 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2829
2830 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2831 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2832 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2833 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2834 FORMAT_IISSGC.
2835 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2836
2837 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2838 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2839
2840 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2841 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2842
2843 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2844 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2845 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2846 [Ben Laurie]
2847
2848 *) Add new functions
2849 ERR_peek_last_error
2850 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2851 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2852 These are similar to
2853 ERR_peek_error
2854 ERR_peek_error_line
2855 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2856 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2857 still in the error queue.
2858 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2859
2860 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2861 like:
2862 default_algorithms = ALL
2863 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2864 [Steve Henson]
2865
2866 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2867 [Steve Henson]
2868
2869 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2870 [Steve Henson]
2871
2872 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2873 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2874 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2875 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2876
2877 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2878 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2879
2880 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2881 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2882
2883 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2884 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2885 [Bodo Moeller]
2886
2887 *) New functions/macros
2888
2889 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2890 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2891 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2892 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2893
2894 to request calling a callback function
2895
2896 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2897 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2898
2899 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2900 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2901 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2902 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2903 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2904 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2905 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2906 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2907 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2908 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2909
2910 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2911 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2912 [Bodo Moeller]
2913
2914 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2915 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2916 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2917 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2918 the configuration scripts.
2919
2920 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2921 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2922 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2923
2924 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2925 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2926
2927 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2928 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2929 when reusing an existing buffer.
2930 [Bodo Moeller]
2931
2932 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2933 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2934 [Steve Henson]
2935
2936 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2937 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2938 [Ben Laurie]
2939
2940 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2941 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2942 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2943 has the same effect.
2944 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2945
2946 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2947 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2948 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2949 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2950 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2951 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2952 exception.
2953
2954 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2955 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2956 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2957 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2958
2959 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2960 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2961 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2962 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2963
2964 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2965 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2966 won't work.
2967
2968 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2969 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2970 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2971 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2972 default), and then completely removed.
2973 [Richard Levitte]
2974
2975 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2976 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2977 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2978 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2979 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2980 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2981 particular extension is supported.
2982 [Steve Henson]
2983
2984 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2985 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2986 [Steve Henson]
2987
2988 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2989 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2990 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2991 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2992 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2993 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2994 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2995 requires the destination to be valid.
2996
2997 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2998 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2999 [Steve Henson]
3000
3001 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3002 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3003 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3004 [Bodo Moeller]
3005
3006 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3007 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3008
3009 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3010 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3011 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3012 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3013 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3014 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3015 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3016 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3017 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3018 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3019 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3020 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3021 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3022 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3023 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3024 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3025 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3026 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3027 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3028 the new code.
3029 [Geoff Thorpe]
3030
3031 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3032 [Steve Henson]
3033
3034 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3035 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3036 become part of libeay.num as well.
3037 [Richard Levitte]
3038
3039 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3040 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3041 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3042 false once a handshake has been completed.
3043 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3044 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3045 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3046 client has followed the request.)
3047 [Bodo Moeller]
3048
3049 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3050 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3051 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3052 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3053
3054 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3055 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3056 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3057 [Bodo Moeller]
3058
3059 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3060 [Steve Henson]
3061
3062 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3063 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3064 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3065 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3066
3067 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3068 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3069 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3070
3071 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3072 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3073 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3074 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3075 [Geoff Thorpe]
3076
3077 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3078 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3079 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3080 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3081 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3082 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3083 [Geoff Thorpe]
3084
3085 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3086 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3087 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3088 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3089 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3090 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3091 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3092 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3093 [Geoff Thorpe]
3094
3095 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3096 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3097 [Geoff Thorpe]
3098
3099 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3100 [Ben Laurie]
3101
3102 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3103 md_data void pointer.
3104 [Ben Laurie]
3105
3106 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3107 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3108 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3109 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3110 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3111 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3112 [Ben Laurie]
3113
3114 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3115 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3116 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3117 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3118 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3119 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3120 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3121 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3122 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3123 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3124 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3125 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3126 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3127 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3128 rather than letting it slide.
3129
3130 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3131 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3132 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3133 [Geoff Thorpe]
3134
3135 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3136 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3137 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3138 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3139 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3140 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3141 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3142 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3143 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3144 [Geoff Thorpe]
3145
3146 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3147 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3148 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3149 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3150 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3151
3152 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3153 [Geoff Thorpe]
3154
3155 *) Add EVP test program.
3156 [Ben Laurie]
3157
3158 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3159 [Ben Laurie]
3160
3161 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3162 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3163 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3164 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3165 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3166 [Steve Henson]
3167
3168 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3169 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3170 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3171 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3172 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3173 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3174 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3175
3176 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3177 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3178 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3179 Usage example:
3180
3181 EVP_MD_CTX md;
3182
3183 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3184 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3185 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3186 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3187 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3188
3189 [Ben Laurie]
3190
3191 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3192 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3193 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3194 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3195 anyway): E.g.,
3196
3197 des_key_schedule ks;
3198
3199 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3200 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3201
3202 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3203 [Ben Laurie]
3204
3205 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3206 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3207 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3208 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3209 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3210 functions prevents this.
3211 [Steve Henson]
3212
3213 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3214 [Ben Laurie]
3215
3216 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3217 correct _ecb suffix.
3218 [Ben Laurie]
3219
3220 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3221 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3222 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3223 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3224 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3225 [Steve Henson]
3226
3227 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3228 [Richard Levitte]
3229
3230 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3231 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3232 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3233 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3234
3235 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3236 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3237
3238 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3239 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3240 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3241 via Richard Levitte]
3242
3243 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3244 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3245 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3246 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3247 [Geoff Thorpe]
3248
3249 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3250 Before:
3251 encrypt
3252 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3253 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3265 [Ben Laurie]
3266
3267 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3268 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3269
3270 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3271 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3272 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3273 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3274 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3275 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3276 [Steve Henson]
3277
3278 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3279 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3280 [Richard Levitte]
3281
3282 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3283 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3284 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3285 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3286
3287 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3288 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3289 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3290 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3291 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3292 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3293 callback.
3294 [Richard Levitte]
3295
3296 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3297 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3298 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3299 and interrupts/cancellations.
3300 [Richard Levitte]
3301
3302 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3303 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3304 [Steve Henson]
3305
3306 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3307 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3308 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3309
3310 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3311 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3312 kind of callback.
3313 [Richard Levitte]
3314
3315 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3316 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3317 than this minimum value is recommended.
3318 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3319
3320 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3321 that are easily reachable.
3322 [Richard Levitte]
3323
3324 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3325 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3326
3327 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3328
3329 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3330 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3331 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3332 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3333 [Steve Henson]
3334
3335 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3336 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3337 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3338 [Steve Henson]
3339
3340 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3341 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3342 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3343 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3344 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3345 internally such as S/MIME.
3346
3347 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3348 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3349 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3350
3351 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3352 applications.
3353 [Steve Henson]
3354
3355 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3356 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3357 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3358 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3359
3360 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3361
3362 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3363
3364 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3365 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3366 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3367 handling.
3368 [Steve Henson]
3369
3370 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3371 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3372 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3373 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3374 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3375 a window system and the like.
3376 [Richard Levitte]
3377
3378 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3379 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3380 [Geoff]
3381
3382 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3383 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3384 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3385 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3386 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3387 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3388 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3389 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3390 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3391 ENGINE structure.
3392 [Geoff]
3393
3394 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3395 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3396 tag cache.
3397 [Steve Henson]
3398
3399 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3400 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3401 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3402 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3403 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3404 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3405 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3406 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3407 [Geoff]
3408
3409 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3410 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3411 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3412 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3413 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3414 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3415 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3416 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3417 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3418 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3419 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3420 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3421 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3422 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3423 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3424 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3425 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3426 [Geoff]
3427
3428 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3429 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3430 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3431 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3432 internal engine_int.h header.
3433 [Geoff]
3434
3435 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3436 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3437 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3438 modify their own ones).
3439 [Geoff]
3440
3441 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3442 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3443 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3444 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3445 later on via ctrl() commands.
3446 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3447 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3448 structural references.
3449 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3450 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3451 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3452 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3453 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3454 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3455 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3456 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3457 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3458 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3459 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3460 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3461 [Geoff]
3462
3463 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3464 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3465 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3466 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3467 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3468 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3469 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3470 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3471 [Bodo Moeller]
3472
3473 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3474 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3475 [Steve Henson]
3476
3477 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3478 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3479 [Steve Henson]
3480
3481 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3482 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3483 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3484 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3485 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3486 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3487 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3488 [Steve Henson]
3489
3490 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3491 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3492 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3493 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3494 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3495
3496 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3497 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3498 generator).
3499 [Bodo Moeller]
3500
3501 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3502
3503 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3504 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3505 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3506
3507 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3508 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3509
3510 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3511 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3512 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3513
3514 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3515 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3516
3517 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3518 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3519
3520 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3521
3522 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3523 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3524 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3525 [Bodo Moeller]
3526
3527 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3528 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3529 [Richard Levitte]
3530
3531 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3532 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3533 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3534 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3535 is 40 of more characters long.
3536 [Steve Henson]
3537
3538 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3539 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3540 pointers.
3541 [Steve Henson]
3542
3543 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3544 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3545 [Bodo Moeller]
3546
3547 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3548 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3549 might.
3550 [Steve Henson]
3551
3552 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3553
3554 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3555 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3556
3557 ASN1 error codes
3558 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3559 ...
3560 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3561 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3562 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3563 ...
3564 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3565 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3566
3567 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3568 [Bodo Moeller]
3569
3570 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3571 suffices.
3572 [Bodo Moeller]
3573
3574 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3575 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3576 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3577 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3578 and
3579 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3580
3581 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3582 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3583
3584 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3585 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3586 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3587 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3588 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3589 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3590
3591 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3592 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3593
3594 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3595 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3596
3597 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3598 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3599
3600 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3601 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3602 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3603 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3604
3605 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3606 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3607
3608 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3609 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3610
3611 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3612 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3613 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3614 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3615 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3616 [Richard Levitte]
3617
3618 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3619 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3620 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3621 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3622 [Steve Henson]
3623
3624 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3625 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3626 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3627 trust settings.
3628 [Steve Henson]
3629
3630 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3631 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3632 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3633 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3634 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3635 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3636 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3637 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3638 ocsp utility.
3639 [Steve Henson]
3640
3641 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3642 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3643 [Steve Henson]
3644
3645 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3646 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3647 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3648 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3649 [Steve Henson]
3650
3651 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3652 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3653 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3654 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3655 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3656 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3657 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3658 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3659 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3660 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3661 [Steve Henson]
3662
3663 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3664 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3665 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3666 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3667 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3668 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3669 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3670 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3671
3672 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3673 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3674 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3675 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3676 [Richard Levitte]
3677
3678 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3679 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3680 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3681 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3682 opensslconf.h.
3683 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3684 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3685 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3686 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3687 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3688 what is available.
3689 [Richard Levitte]
3690
3691 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3692 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3693 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3694 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3695 auto incremented.
3696 [Steve Henson]
3697
3698 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3699 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3700 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3701 [Steve Henson]
3702
3703 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3704 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3705 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3706 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3707 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3708 [Steve Henson]
3709
3710 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3711 [Steve Henson]
3712
3713 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3714 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3715 option to ocsp utility.
3716 [Steve Henson]
3717
3718 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3719 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3720 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3721 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3722 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3723 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3724 the request is nonce-less.
3725 [Steve Henson]
3726
3727 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3728 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3729 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3730 [Bodo Moeller]
3731
3732 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3733 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3734 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3735 [Steve Henson]
3736
3737 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3738 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3739 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3740 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3741 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3742 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3743
3744 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3745 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3746 appear to exist.
3747 [Steve Henson]
3748
3749 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3750 additional certificates supplied.
3751 [Steve Henson]
3752
3753 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3754 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3755 signature against.
3756 [Richard Levitte]
3757
3758 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3759 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3760 AES OIDs.
3761
3762 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3763 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3764 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3765 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3766 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3767 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3768 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3769 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3770 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3771
3772 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3773 request to response.
3774 [Steve Henson]
3775
3776 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3777 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3778 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3779 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3780 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3781 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3782 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3783 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3784 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3785 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3786 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3787 [Steve Henson]
3788
3789 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3790 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3791 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3792 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3793 [Steve Henson]
3794
3795 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3796 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3797
3798 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3799 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3800 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3801 [Steve Henson]
3802
3803 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3804 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3805 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3806 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3807 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3808
3809 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3810 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3811 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3812 [Steve Henson]
3813
3814 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3815 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3816 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3817 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3818 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3819 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3820 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3821 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3822
3823 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3824 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3825 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3826 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3827 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3828 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3829 [Steve Henson]
3830
3831 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3832 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3833 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3834 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3835 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3836 printout format cleaned up.
3837 [Steve Henson]
3838
3839 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3840 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3841 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3842 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3843 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3844 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3845 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3846 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3847 [Steve Henson]
3848
3849 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3850 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3851 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3852 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3853 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3854 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3855 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3856 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3857 [Steve Henson]
3858
3859 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3860 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3861 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3862 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3863 section to use.
3864 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3865
3866 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3867 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3868 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3869 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3870 [Steve Henson]
3871
3872 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3873 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3874 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3875 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3876 in the index file.
3877 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3878
3879 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3880 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3881 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3882 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3883
3884 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3885 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3886
3887 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3888 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3889 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3890 [Steve Henson]
3891
3892 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3893 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3894 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3895 [Bodo Moeller]
3896
3897 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3898 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3899 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3900 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3901 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3902 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3903 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3904 functions are provided:
3905
3906 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3907 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3908 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3909 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3910
3911 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3912 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3913 extended allocation function is enabled.
3914 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3915 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3916 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3917
3918 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3919 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3920 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3921 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3922 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3923 [Geoff Thorpe]
3924
3925 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3926 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3927 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3928 be queried.
3929 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3930 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3931 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3932 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3933
3934 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3935 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3936 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3937 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3938 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3939 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3940 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3941 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3942 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3943 [Richard Levitte]
3944
3945 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3946 provide utility functions which an application needing
3947 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3948 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3949 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3950
3951 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3952 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3953 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3954 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3955 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3956 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3957 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3958 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3959 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3960
3961 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3962 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3963 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3964 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3965 [Steve Henson]
3966
3967 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3968 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3969 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3970 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3971 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3972 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3973 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3974 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3975 will be added elsewhere.
3976 [Steve Henson]
3977
3978 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3979 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3980 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3981 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3982 [Steve Henson]
3983
3984 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3985 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3986 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3987 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3988 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3989 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3990 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3991 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3992 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3993 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3994 to produce the required SET OF.
3995 [Steve Henson]
3996
3997 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3998 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3999 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4000 [Richard Levitte]
4001
4002 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4003 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4004 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4005 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4006 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4007 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4008 [Steve Henson]
4009
4010 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4011 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4012 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4013 [Steve Henson]
4014
4015 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4016 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4017 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4018 [Richard Levitte]
4019
4020 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4021 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4022 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4023 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4024 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4025 [Steve Henson]
4026
4027 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4028 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4029 [Steve Henson]
4030
4031 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4032 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4033 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4034 certifcates and CRLs.
4035 [Steve Henson]
4036
4037 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4038 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4039 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4040 [Steve Henson]
4041
4042 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4043 entries for variables.
4044 [Steve Henson]
4045
4046 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4047 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4048 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4049 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4050 [Bodo Moeller]
4051
4052 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4053 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4054 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4055 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4056 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4057 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4058 [Bodo Moeller]
4059
4060 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4061 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4062
4063 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4064 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4065 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4066 [Steve Henson]
4067
4068 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4069 print routines.
4070 [Steve Henson]
4071
4072 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4073 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4074 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4075 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4076 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4077 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4078 [Steve Henson]
4079
4080 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4081 [Steve Henson]
4082
4083 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4084 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4085 for now but they will eventually go away.
4086 [Steve Henson]
4087
4088 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4089 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4090 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4091 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4092 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4093 has also been converted to the new form.
4094 [Steve Henson]
4095
4096 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4097 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4098 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4099 for negative moduli.
4100 [Bodo Moeller]
4101
4102 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4103 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4104 [Bodo Moeller]
4105
4106 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4107 set.
4108 [Bodo Moeller]
4109
4110 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4111 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4112 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4113 type-specific callbacks.
4114 [Geoff Thorpe]
4115
4116 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4117 RFC 2712.
4118 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4119 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4120
4121 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4122 in sections depending on the subject.
4123 [Richard Levitte]
4124
4125 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4126 Windows.
4127 [Richard Levitte]
4128
4129 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4130 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4131 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4132 be handled deterministically).
4133 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4134
4135 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4136 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4137 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4138 [Bodo Moeller]
4139
4140 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4141 [Bodo Moeller]
4142
4143 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4144 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4145 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4146 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4147 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4148 [Bodo Moeller]
4149
4150 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4151 sign of the number in question.
4152
4153 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4154
4155 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4156 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4157 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4158 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4159 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4160 [Bodo Moeller]
4161
4162 *) New function BN_swap.
4163 [Bodo Moeller]
4164
4165 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4166 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4167 results on negative inputs.
4168 [Bodo Moeller]
4169
4170 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4171 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4172 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4173 [Bodo Moeller]
4174
4175 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4176 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4177 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4178 and add new functions:
4179
4180 BN_nnmod
4181 BN_mod_sqr
4182 BN_mod_add
4183 BN_mod_add_quick
4184 BN_mod_sub
4185 BN_mod_sub_quick
4186 BN_mod_lshift1
4187 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4188 BN_mod_lshift
4189 BN_mod_lshift_quick
4190
4191 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4192
4193 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4194 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4195
4196 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4197 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4198 be reduced modulo m.
4199 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4200
4201 #if 0
4202 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4203 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4204 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4205
4206 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4207 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4208 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4209 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4210 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4211 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4212 differing sizes.
4213 [Richard Levitte]
4214 #endif
4215
4216 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4217 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4218 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4219 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4220 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4221
4222 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4223 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4224 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4225 cause any problems.
4226 [Bodo Moeller]
4227
4228 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4229 [Richard Levitte]
4230
4231 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4232 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4233 [Richard Levitte]
4234
4235 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4236 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4237 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4238 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4239 time)
4240 [Richard Levitte]
4241
4242 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4243 [Richard Levitte]
4244
4245 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4246 [Richard Levitte]
4247
4248 *) Add the following functions:
4249
4250 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4251 ENGINE_load_chil()
4252 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4253 ENGINE_load_nuron()
4254 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4255
4256 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4257 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4258 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4259 libraries unless it's really needed.
4260
4261 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4262 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4263 declarations (they differed!).
4264 [Richard Levitte]
4265
4266 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4267 [Richard Levitte]
4268
4269 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4270 [Richard Levitte]
4271
4272 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4273 [Bodo Moeller]
4274
4275 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4276 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4277 [Richard Levitte]
4278
4279 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4280 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4281 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4282
4283 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4284 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4285 [Richard Levitte]
4286
4287 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4288 [Richard Levitte]
4289
4290 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4291 [Richard Levitte]
4292
4293 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4294 [Ben Laurie]
4295
4296 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4297 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4298 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4299
4300 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4301 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4302 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4303 different shared library filenames on each system.
4304 [Geoff Thorpe]
4305
4306 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4307 [Richard Levitte]
4308
4309 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4310 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4311 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4312 of two sections.
4313 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4314
4315 *) NCONF changes.
4316 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4317 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4318 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4319 binary backward compatibility.
4320 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4321 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4322 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4323 LDAP server.
4324 [Richard Levitte]
4325
4326 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4327 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4328 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4329 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4330 this case.
4331 [Steve Henson]
4332
4333 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4334 [Ben Laurie]
4335
4336 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4337 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4338 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4339 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4340 set.
4341 [Steve Henson]
4342
4343 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4344 [Richard Levitte]
4345
4346 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4347
4348 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4349 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4350 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4351
4352 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4353
4354 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4355
4356 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4357 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4358 [Steve Henson]
4359
4360 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4361
4362 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4363
4364 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4365 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4366
4367 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4368 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4369
4370 [Steve Henson]
4371
4372 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4373 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4374 specifications.
4375 [Steve Henson]
4376
4377 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4378 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4379 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4380 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4381
4382 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4383 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4384 [Richard Levitte]
4385
4386 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4387
4388 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4389 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4390 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4391 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4392 [Bodo Moeller]
4393
4394 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4395 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4396 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4397 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4398 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4399
4400 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4401 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4402 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4403 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4404 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4405 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4406 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4407 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4408 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4409 [Bodo Moeller]
4410
4411 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4412
4413 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4414 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4415 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4416 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4417 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4418
4419 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4420 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4421 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4422
4423 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4424
4425 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4426 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4427 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4428 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4429 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4430 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4431 [Geoff Thorpe]
4432
4433 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4434 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4435 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4436 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4437 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4438 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4439
4440 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4441 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4442 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4443
4444 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4445 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4446 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4447 EVP_cleanup().
4448 [Richard Levitte]
4449
4450 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4451 being properly terminated.
4452 [Richard Levitte]
4453
4454 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4455 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4456 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4457 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4458
4459 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4460 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4461 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4462 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4463 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4464 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4465 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4466 change.
4467 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4468
4469 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4470 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4471 [Bodo Moeller]
4472
4473 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4474 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4475 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4476 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4477 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4478 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4479 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4480 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4481
4482 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4483 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4484 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4485 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4486 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4487
4488 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4489 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4490 [Steve Henson]
4491
4492 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4493
4494 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4495 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4496 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4497
4498 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4499
4500 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4501 and get fix the header length calculation.
4502 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4503 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4504 Steve Henson]
4505
4506 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4507 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4508 assertions could call abort()).
4509 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4510
4511 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4512
4513 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4514 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4515 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4516 supplied buffer.
4517 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4518
4519 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4520 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4521 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4522 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4523
4524 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4525 [Nils Larsch]
4526
4527 *) New option
4528 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4529 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4530 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4531
4532 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4533 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4534 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4535 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4536 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4537 applications.
4538 [Bodo Moeller]
4539
4540 *) Changes in security patch:
4541
4542 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4543 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4544 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4545 F30602-01-2-0537.
4546
4547 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4548 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4549 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4550 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4551 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4552
4553 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4554 happen in practice.
4555 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4556
4557 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4558 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4559 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4560
4561 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4562 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4563 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4564
4565 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4566 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4567 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4568
4569 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4570
4571 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4572 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4573 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4574
4575 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4576 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4577
4578 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4579 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4580 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4581 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4582 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4583 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4584 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4585
4586 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4587 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4588 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4589 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4590 [Bodo Moeller]
4591
4592 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4593 [Bodo Moeller]
4594
4595 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4596 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4597 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4598 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4599 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4600 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4601
4602 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4603 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4604 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4605 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4606 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4607 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4608
4609 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4610 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4611 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4612 BN_generate_prime().)
4613
4614 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4615 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4616 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4617 better.
4618 [Bodo Moeller]
4619
4620 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4621 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4622 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4623
4624 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4625 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4626 when using non-blocking I/O.
4627 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4628
4629 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4630 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4631
4632 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4633 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4634 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4635
4636 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4637 configuration for the versions before that.
4638 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4639
4640 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4641 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4642 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4643 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4644 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4645
4646 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4647 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4648 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4649 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4650
4651 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4652 value is 0.
4653 [Richard Levitte]
4654
4655 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4656 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4657 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4658
4659 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4660 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4661
4662 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4663 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4664 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4665 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4666 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4667 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4668 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4669 session cache.
4670
4671 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4672 using a local variable.
4673 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4674
4675 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4676 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4677 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4678
4679 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4680 [Richard Levitte]
4681
4682 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4683 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4684
4685 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4686 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4687 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4688
4689 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4690
4691 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4692 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4693 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4694 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4695 [Bodo Moeller]
4696
4697 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4698 present.
4699 [Steve Henson]
4700
4701 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4702 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4703 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4704 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4705 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4706
4707 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4708 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4709 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4710
4711 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4712 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4713 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4714
4715 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4716 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4717 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4718 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4719
4720 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4721 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4722 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4723 modules).
4724 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4725
4726 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4727 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4728 from 0.9.7.
4729 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4730
4731 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4732 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4733 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4734 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4735
4736 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4737 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4738 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4739 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4740
4741 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4742 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4743
4744 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4745 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4746 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4747 [Bodo Moeller]
4748
4749 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4750 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4751 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4752 become invalid.
4753 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4754
4755 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4756 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4757 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4758 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4759 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4760 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4761 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4762 [Bodo Moeller]
4763
4764 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4765 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4766 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4767 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4768
4769 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4770 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4771 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4772 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4773 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4774 the client will at least see that alert.
4775 [Bodo Moeller]
4776
4777 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4778 correctly.
4779 [Bodo Moeller]
4780
4781 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4782 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4783 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4784
4785 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4786 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4787 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4788 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4789 HelloRequest.
4790
4791 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4792 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4793 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4794
4795 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4796 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4797 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4798 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4799 may leak via logfiles.)
4800
4801 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4802 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4803 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4804 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4805 the legal range.
4806 [Bodo Moeller]
4807
4808 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4809 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4810 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4811
4812 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4813 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4814 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4815 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4816 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4817 [Bodo Moeller]
4818
4819 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4820 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4821
4822 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4823 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4824 followed by modular reduction.
4825 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4826
4827 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4828 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4829 [Bodo Moeller]
4830
4831 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4832 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4833 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4834 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4835 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4836
4837 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4838 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4839
4840 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4841 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4842 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4843
4844 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4845 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4846 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4847 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4848 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4849 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4850 automatically.
4851 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4852
4853 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4854 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4855 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4856 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4857 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4858
4859 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4860 [Andy Polyakov]
4861
4862 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4863 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4864 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4865 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4866 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4867 to allow the necessary settings.
4868 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4869
4870 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4871 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4872 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4873 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4874 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4875
4876 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4877 dh->length and always used
4878
4879 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4880
4881 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4882 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4883 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4884 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4885 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4886 dh->length.
4887
4888 So switch back to
4889
4890 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4891
4892 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4893 otherwise.
4894 [Bodo Moeller]
4895
4896 *) In
4897
4898 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4899 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4900 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4901 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4902
4903 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4904 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4905 always reject numbers >= n.
4906 [Bodo Moeller]
4907
4908 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4909 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4910 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4911 variable) is not atomic.
4912 [Bodo Moeller]
4913
4914 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4915 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4916 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4917 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4918
4919 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4920 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4921
4922 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4923 little-endian MIPS.
4924 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4925
4926 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4927 [Richard Levitte]
4928
4929 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4930
4931 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4932 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4933 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4934 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4935 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4936 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4937 to traverse all of 'state'.
4938
4939 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4940 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4941 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4942
4943 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4944 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4945
4946 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4947 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4948 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4949 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4950 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4951 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4952 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4953 further strengthens the PRNG.
4954 [Bodo Moeller]
4955
4956 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4957 [Andy Polyakov]
4958
4959 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4960 an error message in this case.
4961 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4962
4963 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4964 [Steve Henson]
4965
4966 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4967 positive and less than q.
4968 [Bodo Moeller]
4969
4970 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4971 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4972 that itself.
4973 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4974
4975 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4976 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4977 [Bodo Moeller]
4978
4979 *) Fix OAEP check.
4980 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4981
4982 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4983 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4984 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4985 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4986 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4987 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4988 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4989 paper.)
4990
4991 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4992 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4993 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4994 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4995
4996 Both problems are now fixed.
4997 [Bodo Moeller]
4998
4999 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5000 (previously it was 1024).
5001 [Bodo Moeller]
5002
5003 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5004 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5005 [Steve Henson]
5006
5007 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5008 [Steve Henson]
5009
5010 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5011 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5012 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5013 [Steve Henson]
5014
5015 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5016 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5017 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5018 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5019 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5020 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5021 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5022 environment variables.
5023
5024 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5025 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5026 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5027 [Bodo Moeller]
5028
5029 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5030 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5031 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5032 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5033 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5034 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5035 [Bodo Moeller]
5036
5037 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5038 versions of 'test'.
5039 [Bodo Moeller]
5040
5041 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5042
5043 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5044 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5045
5046 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5047 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5048 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5049 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5050 CygWin.
5051 [Richard Levitte]
5052
5053 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5054 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5055 amount of data available.
5056 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5057 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5058
5059 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5060 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5061 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5062 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5063 [Bodo Moeller]
5064
5065 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5066 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5067 and UnixWare.
5068 [Richard Levitte]
5069
5070 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5071 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5072 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5073 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5074 [Ulf Moeller]
5075
5076 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5077 [Andy Polyakov]
5078
5079 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5080 [Richard Levitte]
5081
5082 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5083 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5084 [Steve Henson]
5085 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5086
5087 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5088 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5089 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5090 (but broken) behaviour.
5091 [Steve Henson]
5092
5093 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5094 it when found.
5095 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5096
5097 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5098 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5099 [Bodo Moeller]
5100
5101 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5102 did not exist.
5103 [Bodo Moeller]
5104
5105 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5106 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5107
5108 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5109 [Richard Levitte]
5110
5111 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5112 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5113 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5114
5115 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5116 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5117 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5118 [Steve Henson]
5119
5120 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5121 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5122 [Ulf Moeller]
5123
5124 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5125 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5126
5127 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5128
5129 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5130
5131 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5132 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5133 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5134 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5135 [Bodo Moeller]
5136
5137 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5138 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5139
5140 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5141 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5142 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5143
5144 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5145 was empty.
5146 [Steve Henson]
5147 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5148
5149 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5150 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5151 but the code is actually correct.
5152 [Steve Henson]
5153
5154 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5155 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5156 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5157 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5158 and leaves the highest bit random.
5159 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5160
5161 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5162 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5163 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5164 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5165 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5166 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5167 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5168 [Bodo Moeller]
5169
5170 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5171 [Ulf Moeller]
5172
5173 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5174 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5175 [Steve Henson]
5176
5177 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5178 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5179 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5180 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5181 headers.
5182 [Richard Levitte]
5183
5184 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5185 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5186 and break the signature.
5187 [Steve Henson]
5188 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5189
5190 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5191 DH ciphersuites.
5192 [Steve Henson]
5193
5194 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5195 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5196 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5197 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5198 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5199 [Bodo Moeller]
5200
5201 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5202 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5203
5204 *) ./config script fixes.
5205 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5206
5207 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5208 [Bodo Moeller]
5209
5210 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5211 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5212 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5213 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5214 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5215
5216 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5217 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5218 [Bodo Moeller]
5219
5220 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5221 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5222 [Steve Henson]
5223
5224 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5225 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5226 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5227 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5228
5229 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5230 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5231
5232 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5233 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5234 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5235 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5236 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5237
5238 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5239 [Bodo Moeller]
5240
5241 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5242 [Ulf Möller]
5243
5244 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5245 [Ulf Möller]
5246
5247 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5248 [Bodo Moeller]
5249
5250 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5251 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5252 [Bodo Moeller]
5253
5254 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5255 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5256 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5257 result of the server certificate verification.)
5258 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5259
5260 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5261 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5262 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5263 [Bodo Moeller]
5264
5265 *) Fix SSL_peek:
5266 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5267 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5268 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5269 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5270 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5271 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5272 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5273 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5274 [Bodo Moeller]
5275
5276 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5277 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5278 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5279 happening the other way round.
5280 [Geoff Thorpe]
5281
5282 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5283 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5284 [Bodo Moeller]
5285
5286 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5287 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5288 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5289 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5290 [Richard Levitte]
5291
5292 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5293 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5294
5295 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5296
5297 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5298 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5299 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5300 that.
5301
5302 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5303
5304 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5305
5306 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5307 static ones.
5308 [Richard Levitte]
5309
5310 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5311
5312 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5313 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5314 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5315 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5316 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5317
5318 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5319 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5320 matter what.
5321 [Richard Levitte]
5322
5323 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5324 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5325
5326 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5327
5328 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5329 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5330 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5331 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5332 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5333 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5334 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5335 by the Finished messages.
5336 [Bodo Moeller]
5337
5338 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5339 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5340
5341 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5342 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5343 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5344 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5345 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5346 appropriately.
5347 [Steve Henson]
5348
5349 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5350 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5351 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5352 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5353 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5354 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5355 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5356 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5357 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5358 together.
5359 [Steve Henson]
5360
5361 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5362 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5363 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5364 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5365
5366 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5367 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5368 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5369 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5370 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5371 the answer.
5372
5373 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5374 been tested well enough.
5375 [Richard Levitte]
5376
5377 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5378 it can return incorrect results.
5379 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5380 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5381 [Bodo Moeller]
5382
5383 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5384 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5385 include zero length content when signing messages.
5386 [Steve Henson]
5387
5388 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5389 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5390 [Bodo Möller]
5391
5392 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5393 [Richard Levitte]
5394
5395 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5396 wrong sign.
5397 [Ulf Möller]
5398
5399 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5400 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5401 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5402 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5403 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5404 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5405 [Richard Levitte]
5406
5407 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5408 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5409
5410 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5411 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5412
5413 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5414 random number < q in the DSA library.
5415 [Ulf Möller]
5416
5417 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5418 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5419 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5420 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5421 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5422 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5423 just makes things more complicated.)
5424 [Bodo Moeller]
5425
5426 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5427 from EGD.
5428 [Ben Laurie]
5429
5430 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5431 work better on such systems.
5432 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5433
5434 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5435 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5436 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5437 [Steve Henson]
5438
5439 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5440 if there was more than one signature.
5441 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5442
5443 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5444 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5445 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5446 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5447 [Richard Levitte]
5448
5449 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5450 rather than always using the current time.
5451 [Steve Henson]
5452
5453 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5454 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5455 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5456 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5457 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5458 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5459
5460 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5461 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5462
5463 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5464
5465 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5466 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5467 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5468 the same hash value.
5469
5470 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5471 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5472 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5473 with X509_STORE internally.
5474
5475 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5476 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5477
5478 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5479 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5480 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5481 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5482 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5483 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5484 entirely (maybe later...).
5485
5486 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5487
5488 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5489 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5490 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5491 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5492 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5493 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5494 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5495 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5496
5497 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5498 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5499
5500 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5501 to customise the verify behaviour.
5502 [Steve Henson]
5503
5504 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5505 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5506 [Steve Henson]
5507
5508 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5509 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5510 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5511 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5512 request is improperly encoded.
5513 [Steve Henson]
5514
5515 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5516 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5517 BIO_write(b, ...).
5518
5519 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5520 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5521
5522 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5523 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5524 words set to zero.)
5525 [Bodo Moeller]
5526
5527 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5528 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5529 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5530 [Bodo Moeller]
5531
5532 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5533 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5534 BIO/fp routines also added.
5535 [Steve Henson]
5536
5537 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5538 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5539
5540 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5541 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5542 demos/state_machine.
5543 [Ben Laurie]
5544
5545 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5546 generation and verification.
5547 [Steve Henson]
5548
5549 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5550 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5551 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5552 encode and decode it manually.
5553 [Steve Henson]
5554
5555 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5556 compile under VC++.
5557 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5558
5559 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5560 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5561 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5562 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5563
5564 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5565 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5566 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5567 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5568 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5569 [Steve Henson]
5570
5571 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5572 [Richard Levitte]
5573
5574 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5575 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5576 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5577
5578 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5579 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5580 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5581 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5582 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5583 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5584 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5585 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5586
5587 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5588 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5589
5590 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5591
5592 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5593 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5594 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5595
5596 [Richard Levitte]
5597
5598 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5599 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5600 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5601 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5602 [Richard Levitte]
5603
5604 *) MD4 implemented.
5605 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5606
5607 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5608 [Richard Levitte]
5609
5610 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5611 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5612 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5613 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5614 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5615 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5616 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5617 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5618 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5619 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5620 short or long names are found.
5621 [Steve Henson]
5622
5623 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5624 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5625
5626 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5627 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5628 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5629 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5630
5631 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5632 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5633 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5634 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5635 [Bodo Moeller]
5636
5637 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5638 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5639 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5640 [Richard Levitte]
5641
5642 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5643 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5644 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5645 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5646 to allow the various flags to be set.
5647 [Steve Henson]
5648
5649 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5650 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5651 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5652 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5653 dates to be checked.
5654 [Steve Henson]
5655
5656 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5657 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5658 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5659 [Steve Henson]
5660
5661 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5662 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5663 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5664 [Steve Henson]
5665
5666 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5667 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5668 [Bodo Moeller]
5669
5670 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5671 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5672 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5673 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5674 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5675 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5676 [Richard Levitte]
5677
5678 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5679 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5680 Random Numbers.
5681 [Ulf Möller]
5682
5683 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5684 DSA key.
5685 [Steve Henson]
5686
5687 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5688 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5689 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5690 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5691 form signing output easier to verify.
5692 [Steve Henson]
5693
5694 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5695 [Steve Henson]
5696
5697 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5698 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5699 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5700 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5701 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5702 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5703 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5704 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5705 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5706 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5707 [Steve Henson]
5708
5709 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5710
5711 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5712 the syntax given in objects.README.
5713 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5714 obj_mac.h.
5715 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5716 obj_mac.h.
5717
5718 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5719 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5720 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5721 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5722 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5723 consistent name changes.
5724 [Richard Levitte]
5725
5726 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5727 [Bodo Moeller]
5728
5729 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5730 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5731 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5732 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5733 [Richard Levitte]
5734
5735 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5736 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5737 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5738 of safestack.h .
5739 [Steve Henson]
5740
5741 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5742 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5743 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5744 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5745 [Steve Henson]
5746
5747 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5748 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5749 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5750 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5751 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5752 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5753 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5754 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5755 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5756 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5757 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5758 [Steve Henson]
5759
5760 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5761 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5762 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5763 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5764 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5765 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5766 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5767 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5768 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5769 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5770 [Steve Henson]
5771
5772 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5773 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5774 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5775 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5776
5777 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5778 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5779 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5780 omit any duplicate addresses.
5781 [Steve Henson]
5782
5783 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5784 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5785 [Bodo Moeller]
5786
5787 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5788 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5789 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5790 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5791 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5792 [Bodo Moeller]
5793
5794 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5795 software:
5796 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5797 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5798 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5799 Free => OPENSSL_free
5800 [Richard Levitte]
5801
5802 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5803 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5804 [Bodo Moeller]
5805
5806 *) CygWin32 support.
5807 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5808
5809 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5810 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5811 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5812 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5813 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5814 approach.
5815 [Geoff Thorpe]
5816
5817 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5818 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5819 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5820 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5821 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5822 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5823 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5824 [Geoff Thorpe]
5825
5826 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5827 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5828 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5829 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5830 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5831 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5832 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5833 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5834 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5835 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5836 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5837 [Bodo Moeller]
5838
5839 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5840 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5841 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5842 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5843 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5844
5845 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5846 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5847 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5848 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5849 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5850
5851 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5852 ciphers.
5853
5854 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5855 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5856 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5857 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5858
5859 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5860
5861 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5862 of macros.
5863
5864 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5865 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5866 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5867 flags.
5868
5869 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5870 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5871 any installed hardware versions can.
5872 [Steve Henson]
5873
5874 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5875 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5876 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5877 number.
5878 [Bodo Moeller]
5879
5880 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5881 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5882 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5883 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5884 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5885
5886 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5887 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5888 [Steve Henson]
5889
5890 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5891 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5892 [Richard Levitte]
5893
5894 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5895 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5896 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5897 features.
5898 [Steve Henson]
5899
5900 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5901 [Ulf Möller]
5902
5903 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5904 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5905 but no ssl client purpose.
5906 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5907
5908 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5909 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5910 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5911 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5912 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5913 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5914 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5915 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5916 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5917 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5918 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5919 [Steve Henson]
5920
5921 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5922 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5923 be obtained from the error queue.
5924 [Bodo Moeller]
5925
5926 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5927 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5928 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5929 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5930 [Bodo Moeller]
5931
5932 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5933 [Ulf Möller]
5934
5935 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5936 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5937 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5938 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5939 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5940 [Geoff Thorpe]
5941
5942 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5943 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5944 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5945 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5946 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5947 [Geoff Thorpe]
5948
5949 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5950 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5951 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5952 may not be NULL.
5953 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5954
5955 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5956 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5957 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5958 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5959 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5960 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5961 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5962 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5963 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5964 or "the configuration storage API"...
5965
5966 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5967
5968 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5969 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5970
5971 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5972
5973 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5974
5975 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5976 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5977 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5978 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5979 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5980 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5981 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5982
5983 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5984 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5985 [Richard Levitte]
5986
5987 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5988 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5989 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5990 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5991 [Bodo Moeller]
5992
5993 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5994 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5995 them in a portable way.
5996 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5997
5998 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5999
6000 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6001
6002 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6003 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6004
6005 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6006 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6007 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6008 <attili@amaxo.com>]
6009
6010 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6011 was larger than the MD block size.
6012 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6013
6014 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6015 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6016 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6017 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6018 components.
6019 [Steve Henson]
6020
6021 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6022 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6023 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6024
6025 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6026 discouraged.
6027 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6028
6029 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6030 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6031 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6032 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6033 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6034 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6035
6036 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6037 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6038
6039 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6040 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6041 [Bodo Moeller]
6042
6043 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6044 [Bodo Moeller]
6045
6046 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6047 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6048 its own key.
6049 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6050 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6051 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6052 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6053 [Bodo Moeller]
6054
6055 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6056 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6057 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6058 does not suppress any output.
6059 [Richard Levitte]
6060
6061 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6062 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6063 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6064 with all the associated security issues.
6065
6066 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6067 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6068 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6069 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6070 use the value in the default purpose.
6071 [Steve Henson]
6072
6073 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6074 and fix a memory leak.
6075 [Steve Henson]
6076
6077 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6078 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6079 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6080 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6081 [Bodo Moeller]
6082
6083 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6084 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6085 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6086 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6087 [Bodo Moeller]
6088
6089 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6090 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6091 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6092 [Bodo Moeller]
6093
6094 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6095 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6096 [Bodo Moeller]
6097
6098 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6099 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6100 which was free.
6101 [Steve Henson]
6102
6103 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6104 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6105 [Bodo Moeller]
6106
6107 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6108 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6109 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6110 [Bodo Moeller]
6111
6112 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6113 number generation fails.
6114 [Bodo Moeller]
6115
6116 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6117 [Bodo Moeller]
6118
6119 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6120 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6121
6122 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6123 [Ulf Möller]
6124
6125 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6126 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6127
6128 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6129 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6130
6131 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6132
6133 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6134 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6135 [Steve Henson]
6136
6137 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6138 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6139
6140 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6141 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6142 [Ulf Möller]
6143
6144 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6145 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6146 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6147 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6148 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6149 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6150
6151 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6152 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6153 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6154 for example.
6155 [Steve Henson]
6156
6157 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6158 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6159 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6160 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6161 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6162 counter, some don't.)
6163 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6164 counters or duplicate objects.
6165 [Steve Henson]
6166
6167 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6168 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6169 [Steve Henson]
6170
6171 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6172 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6173 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6174
6175 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6176 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6177 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6178 or -rand.
6179 [Ulf Möller]
6180
6181 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6182 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6183 [Steve Henson]
6184
6185 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6186 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6187 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6188 cipher list.
6189 [Steve Henson]
6190
6191 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6192 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6193 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6194 [Steve Henson]
6195
6196 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6197 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6198 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6199 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6200 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6201 should work without changes.
6202 [Richard Levitte]
6203
6204 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6205 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6206 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6207 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6208 must be defined. E.g.,
6209 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6210 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6211 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6212 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6213
6214 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6215 record layer.
6216 [Bodo Moeller]
6217
6218 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6219 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6220 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6221 [Steve Henson]
6222
6223 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6224 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6225 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6226 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6227 [Steve Henson]
6228
6229 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6230 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6231 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6232 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6233 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6234 is prompted for as usual.
6235 [Steve Henson]
6236
6237 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6238 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6239 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6240 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6241
6242 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6243 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6244 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6245 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6246 [Steve Henson]
6247
6248 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6249 [Andy Polyakov]
6250
6251 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6252 of seed file.
6253 [Steve Henson]
6254
6255 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6256 [Bodo Moeller]
6257
6258 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6259 [Steve Henson]
6260
6261 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6262 bits.
6263 [Ulf Möller]
6264
6265 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6266 [Ulf Möller]
6267
6268 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6269 [Andy Polyakov]
6270
6271 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6272 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6273 [Ulf Möller]
6274
6275 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6276 options to produce them.
6277 [Steve Henson]
6278
6279 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6280 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6281 [Ulf Möller]
6282
6283 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6284 for p == 0.
6285 [Ulf Möller]
6286
6287 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6288 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6289 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6290 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6291 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6292 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6293 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6294 [Steve Henson]
6295
6296 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6297 [Steve Henson]
6298
6299 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6300 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6301 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6302 [Bodo Moeller]
6303
6304 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6305 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6306
6307 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6308 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6309 [Ulf Möller]
6310
6311 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6312 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6313 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6314 has already seen).
6315 [Bodo Moeller]
6316
6317 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6318 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6319
6320 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6321 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6322 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6323 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6324 generation becomes much faster.
6325
6326 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6327 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6328 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6329 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6330 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6331 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6332 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6333 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6334 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6335 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6336 [Bodo Moeller]
6337
6338 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6339 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6340 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6341 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6342 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6343 trial division stage.
6344 [Bodo Moeller]
6345
6346 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6347 as ASN1_TIME.
6348 [Steve Henson]
6349
6350 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6351 [Steve Henson]
6352
6353 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6354 [Ulf Möller]
6355
6356 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6357 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6358 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6359 the comments.
6360 [Ulf Möller]
6361
6362 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6363 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6364 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6365 [Bodo Moeller]
6366
6367 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6368 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6369 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6370 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6371
6372 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6373 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6374 [Steve Henson]
6375
6376 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6377 [Ulf Möller]
6378
6379 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6380 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6381 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6382 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6383 [Ulf Möller]
6384
6385 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6386 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6387 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6388 [Ulf Möller]
6389
6390 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6391 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6392 (instead of parameters) in future.
6393 [Steve Henson]
6394
6395 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6396 when a new cipher list is set.
6397 [Steve Henson]
6398
6399 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6400 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6401 wrong.
6402
6403 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6404 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6405 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6406
6407 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6408 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6409 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6410 an error is flagged.
6411
6412 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6413 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6414 the readability was also increased :-)
6415 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6416
6417 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6418 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6419 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6420 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6421 as the root CA.
6422 [Steve Henson]
6423
6424 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6425 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6426 [Steve Henson]
6427
6428 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6429 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6430 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6431 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6432 instead.
6433
6434 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6435 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6436 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6437 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6438 because they handle more complex structures.)
6439 [Steve Henson]
6440
6441 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6442 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6443 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6444 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6445
6446 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6447 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6448 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6449 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6450 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6451 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6452 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6453 [Ulf Möller]
6454
6455 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6456 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6457 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6458 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6459 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6460 [Bodo Moeller]
6461
6462 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6463 [Bodo Moeller]
6464
6465 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6466 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6467 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6468 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6469 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6470 to use this.
6471
6472 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6473 code.
6474 [Steve Henson]
6475
6476 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6477 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6478 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6479 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6480 [Steve Henson]
6481
6482 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6483 [Ulf Möller]
6484
6485 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6486 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6487 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6488 international characters are used.
6489
6490 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6491 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6492 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6493 in ASN1 order.
6494 [Steve Henson]
6495
6496 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6497 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6498 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6499 request.
6500
6501 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6502 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6503 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6504 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6505 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6506 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6507
6508 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6509 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6510 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6511 be handled by the string table functions.
6512
6513 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6514 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6515 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6516 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6517 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6518 types at all.
6519 [Steve Henson]
6520
6521 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6522 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6523 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6524 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6525 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6526
6527 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6528 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6529 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6530 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6531 [Bodo Moeller]
6532
6533 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6534 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6535 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6536 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6537 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6538 SHA1.
6539 [Andy Polyakov]
6540
6541 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6542 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6543 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6544 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6545 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6546 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6547 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6548 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6549
6550 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6551 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6552 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6553 [Steve Henson]
6554
6555 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6556 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6557 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6558 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6559 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6560 support to pkcs8 application.
6561 [Steve Henson]
6562
6563 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6564 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6565 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6566 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6567 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6568 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6569 [Bodo Moeller]
6570
6571 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6572 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6573 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6574 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6575 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6576 consistency.
6577 [Bodo Moeller]
6578
6579 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6580 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6581 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6582 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6583 example.
6584 [Steve Henson]
6585
6586 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6587 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6588 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6589 and any application specific purposes.
6590
6591 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6592 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6593 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6594 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6595 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6596 if the certificate is self signed.
6597 [Steve Henson]
6598
6599 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6600 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6601 [Steve Henson]
6602
6603 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6604 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6605 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6606 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6607 [Steve Henson]
6608
6609 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6610 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6611 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6612 Update documentation.
6613 [Steve Henson]
6614
6615 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6616 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6617 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6618 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6619 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6620 [Steve Henson]
6621
6622 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6623 for details.
6624 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6625
6626 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6627 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6628 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6629 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6630 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6631 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6632 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6633 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6634 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6635 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6636
6637 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6638
6639 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6640 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6641 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6642 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6643 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6644
6645 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6646 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6647 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6648 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6649 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6650 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6651 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6652 request additional information:
6653 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6654 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6655
6656 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6657 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6658 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6659 options.
6660
6661 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6662 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6663
6664 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6665 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6666 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6667
6668 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6669 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6670
6671 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6672 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6673 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6674 algorithm.
6675 [Steve Henson]
6676
6677 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6678 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6679 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6680
6681 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6682 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6683 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6684 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6685 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6686 included in OpenSSL.
6687 [Steve Henson]
6688
6689 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6690 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6691 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6692 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6693 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6694 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6695 [Bodo Moeller]
6696
6697 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6698 PKCS12 structure.
6699 [Steve Henson]
6700
6701 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6702 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6703 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6704 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6705 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6706 structure.
6707 [Steve Henson]
6708
6709 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6710 need initialising.
6711 [Steve Henson]
6712
6713 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6714 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6715 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6716 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6717 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6718 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6719 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6720 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6721 be maintained manually.
6722
6723 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6724 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6725 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6726 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6727 work because people forget to call this function]
6728 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6729 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6730 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6731 [Steve Henson]
6732
6733 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6734 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6735 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6736 should be discouraged from doing it.
6737 [Ben Laurie]
6738
6739 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6740 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6741 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6742 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6743 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6744 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6745 [Steve Henson]
6746
6747 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6748 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6749 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6750
6751 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6752 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6753 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6754
6755 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6756 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6757 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6758 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6759 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6760 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6761
6762 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6763 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6764 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6765
6766 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6767 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6768 and vice versa.
6769
6770 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6771 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6772 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6773 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6774 [Steve Henson]
6775
6776 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6777 [Steve Henson]
6778
6779 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6780 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6781 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6782 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6783 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6784 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6785 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6786 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6787 keys so we should be OK.
6788
6789 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6790 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6791 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6792 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6793 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6794 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6795 stay in the name of compatibility.
6796
6797 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6798 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6799 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6800
6801 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6802 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6803 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6804 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6805 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6806 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6807 supplied key).
6808 [Steve Henson]
6809
6810 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6811 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6812 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6813 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6814 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6815 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6816 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6817 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6818 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6819 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6820 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6821 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6822 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6823 [Steve Henson]
6824
6825 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6826 [Steve Henson]
6827
6828 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6829 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6830 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6831 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6832 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6833 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6834 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6835 openssl verify ss.pem
6836 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6837 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6838 is OK.
6839 [Steve Henson]
6840
6841 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6842 (and add it to external session representation).
6843 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6844 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6845 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6846 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6847 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6848 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6849 security holes.
6850 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6851
6852 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6853 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6854 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6855 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6856
6857 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6858 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6859 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6860 [Steve Henson]
6861
6862 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6863 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6864 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6865 code.
6866 [Steve Henson]
6867
6868 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6869 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6870 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6871
6872 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6873 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6874 certificate auxiliary information.
6875 [Steve Henson]
6876
6877 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6878 the 'enc' command.
6879 [Steve Henson]
6880
6881 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6882 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6883 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6884 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6885 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6886 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6887 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6888 [Richard Levitte]
6889
6890 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6891 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6892 [Steve Henson]
6893
6894 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6895 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6896 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6897 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6898 [Steve Henson]
6899
6900 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6901 [Steve Henson]
6902
6903 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6904 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6905 [Steve Henson]
6906
6907 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6908 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6909 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6910 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6911 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6912 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6913 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6914 using the new 'x509' options.
6915
6916 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6917 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6918 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6919 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6920 for all purposes.
6921 [Steve Henson]
6922
6923 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6924 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6925 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6926 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6927 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6928 [Mark Cox]
6929
6930 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6931 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6932 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6933 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6934 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6935 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6936 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6937 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6938 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6939 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6940 [Steve Henson]
6941
6942 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6943 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6944 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6945 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6946 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6947 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6948 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6949 [Steve Henson]
6950
6951 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6952 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6953 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6954 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6955 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6956 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6957 openssl.cnf for more info.
6958 [Steve Henson]
6959
6960 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6961 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6962 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6963 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6964 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6965 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6966 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6967 md should be large enough anyway.
6968 [Bodo Moeller]
6969
6970 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6971 for handling the random seed file.
6972
6973 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6974 ca,
6975 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6976 s_client,
6977 s_server,
6978 x509 (when signing).
6979 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6980 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6981 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6982
6983 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6984 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6985 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6986 that support '-rand'.
6987 [Bodo Moeller]
6988
6989 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6990 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6991 [Bodo Moeller]
6992
6993 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6994 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6995 [Bill Perry]
6996
6997 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6998 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6999 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7000 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7001 is suitable.
7002 [Steve Henson]
7003
7004 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7005 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7006 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7007 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7008 [Steve Henson]
7009
7010 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7011 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7012 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7013 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7014 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7015 print out all the purposes.
7016 [Steve Henson]
7017
7018 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7019 functions.
7020 [Steve Henson]
7021
7022 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7023 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7024 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7025 single function call.
7026 [Steve Henson]
7027
7028 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7029 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7030 [Andy Polyakov]
7031
7032 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7033 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7034 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7035 [Steve Henson]
7036
7037 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7038 when producing the local key id.
7039 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7040
7041 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7042 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7043 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7044 "server.pem".
7045 [Steve Henson]
7046
7047 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7048 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7049 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7050 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7051 [Steve Henson]
7052
7053 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7054 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7055 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7056 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7057
7058 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7059 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7060 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7061 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7062
7063 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7064 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7065 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7066 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7067 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7068 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7069 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7070 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7071 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7072 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7073 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7074 trivial: move one line.
7075 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7076
7077 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7078 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7079 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7080 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7081 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7082 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7083 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7084 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7085 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7086 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7087 with an event loop for example.
7088 [Steve Henson]
7089
7090 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7091 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7092 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7093 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7094 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7095 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7096 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7097 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7098 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7099 [Steve Henson]
7100
7101 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7102 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7103 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7104 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7105 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7106 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7107 [Steve Henson]
7108
7109 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7110 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7111 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7112 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7113
7114 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7115 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7116 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7117 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7118 key generation.
7119 [Steve Henson]
7120
7121 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7122 (still largely untested)
7123 [Bodo Moeller]
7124
7125 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7126 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7127 [Steve Henson]
7128
7129 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7130 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7131 [Steve Henson]
7132
7133 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7134 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7135 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7136 [Bodo Moeller]
7137
7138 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7139 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7140 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7141 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7142 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7143 [Steve Henson]
7144
7145 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7146 [Andy Polyakov]
7147
7148 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7149 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7150 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7151 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7152 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7153 in ca.
7154 [Steve Henson]
7155
7156 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7157 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7158 1.OU="Unit name 1"
7159 2.OU="Unit name 2"
7160 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7161 [Steve Henson]
7162
7163 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7164 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7165 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7166 are otherwise ignored at present.
7167 [Steve Henson]
7168
7169 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7170 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7171 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7172 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7173 copied until the next read.
7174 [Steve Henson]
7175
7176 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7177 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7178 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7179 [Steve Henson]
7180
7181 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7182 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7183 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7184 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7185 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7186 associated functions.
7187 [Steve Henson]
7188
7189 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7190 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7191 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7192 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7193 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7194 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7195 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7196 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7197 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7198 memory BIOs.
7199 [Steve Henson]
7200
7201 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7202 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7203 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7204 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7205 [Bodo Moeller]
7206
7207 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7208 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7209 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7210 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7211 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7212 functionality.
7213 [Steve Henson]
7214
7215 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7216 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7217 under Win32.
7218 [Steve Henson]
7219
7220 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7221 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7222 extensions to be obtained and added.
7223 [Steve Henson]
7224
7225 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7226 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7227 [Bodo Moeller]
7228
7229 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7230
7231 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7232 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7233
7234 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7235 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7236
7237 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7238 program.
7239 [Steve Henson]
7240
7241 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7242 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7243 DH parameters contain its length).
7244
7245 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7246 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7247 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7248 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7249 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7250 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7251 utter importance to use
7252 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7253 or
7254 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7255 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7256 attacks may become possible!
7257 [Bodo Moeller]
7258
7259 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7260 [Bodo Moeller]
7261
7262 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7263 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7264 [Steve Henson]
7265
7266 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7267 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7268 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7269 or long name.
7270 [Steve Henson]
7271
7272 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7273 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7274 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7275 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7276 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7277 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7278 private key operations.
7279 [Steve Henson]
7280
7281 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7282 [Andy Polyakov]
7283
7284 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7285 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7286 to
7287 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7288 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7289 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7290 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7291 the password callback is called.
7292 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7293
7294 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7295
7296 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7297 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7298 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7299 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7300 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7301 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7302 this will work.
7303
7304 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7305 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7306 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7307 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7308 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7309 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7310 [Bodo Moeller]
7311
7312 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7313 [Andy Polyakov]
7314
7315 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7316 delete an unused file.
7317 [Ulf Möller]
7318
7319 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7320 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7321 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7322 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7323 [Steve Henson]
7324
7325 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7326 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7327 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7328 of an error.
7329 [Bodo Moeller]
7330
7331 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7332 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7333 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7334
7335 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7336 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7337 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7338 comparison" warnings.
7339 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7340 [Steve Henson]
7341
7342 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7343 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7344 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7345 [Steve Henson]
7346
7347 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7348 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7349
7350 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7351 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7352
7353 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7354 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7355 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7356
7357 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7358 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7359 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7360 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7361 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7362 this bug.
7363 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7364
7365 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7366 The interface is as follows:
7367 Applications can use
7368 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7369 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7370 "off" is now the default.
7371 The library internally uses
7372 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7373 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7374 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7375
7376 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7377 even the default) are now avoided.
7378
7379 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7380 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7381 than just having a counter.
7382
7383 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7384
7385 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7386 extensions.
7387 [Bodo Moeller]
7388
7389 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7390 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7391 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7392 Initial "mode" flags are:
7393
7394 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7395 a single record has been written.
7396 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7397 retries use the same buffer location.
7398 (But all of the contents must be
7399 copied!)
7400 [Bodo Moeller]
7401
7402 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7403 worked.
7404
7405 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7406 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7407
7408 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7409 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7410 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7411 [Steve Henson]
7412
7413 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7414 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7415 test programs.
7416 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7417
7418 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7419 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7420 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7421 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7422 point to the end.
7423 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7424 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7425
7426 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7427 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7428 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7429 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7430 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7431 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7432 [Steve Henson]
7433
7434 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7435 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7436 necessary function names.
7437 [Steve Henson]
7438
7439 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7440 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7441 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7442 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7443 [Bodo Moeller]
7444
7445 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7446 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7447 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7448 [Steve Henson]
7449
7450 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7451 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7452 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7453 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7454 such programs?)
7455 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7456 need locks.
7457 [Bodo Moeller]
7458
7459 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7460 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7461 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7462 [Bodo Moeller]
7463
7464 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7465 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7466 appropriate.
7467 [Bodo Moeller]
7468
7469 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7470 for the encoded length.
7471 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7472
7473 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7474 [Steve Henson]
7475
7476 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7477 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7478 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7479 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7480 [Steve Henson]
7481
7482 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7483 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7484 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7485
7486 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7487 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7488 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7489 unusual formatting.
7490 [Steve Henson]
7491
7492 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7493 to use the new extension code.
7494 [Steve Henson]
7495
7496 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7497 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7498 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7499 constant.
7500 [Steve Henson]
7501
7502 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7503 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7504 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7505 [Bodo Moeller]
7506
7507 #if 0
7508 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7509 [Ben Laurie]
7510 #else
7511 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7512 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7513 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7514 #endif
7515
7516 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7517 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7518 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7519 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7520 [Ben Laurie]
7521
7522 *) DES library cleanups.
7523 [Ulf Möller]
7524
7525 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7526 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7527 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7528 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7529 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7530 of v2.0.
7531 [Steve Henson]
7532
7533 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7534 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7535 [Bodo Moeller]
7536
7537 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7538 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7539 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7540 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7541 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7542 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7543 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7544 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7545 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7546 [Steve Henson]
7547
7548 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7549 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7550 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7551 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7552 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7553 value doesn't matter.
7554 [Steve Henson]
7555
7556 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7557 support mutable.
7558 [Ben Laurie]
7559
7560 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7561 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7562 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7563 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7564
7565 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7566 [Ulf Möller]
7567
7568 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7569 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7570 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7571
7572 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7573 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7574
7575 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7576 [Ben Laurie]
7577
7578 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7579 [Ben Laurie]
7580
7581 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7582 [Ben Laurie]
7583
7584 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7585 [Bodo Moeller]
7586
7587
7588 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7589
7590 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7591
7592 *) Updated some demos.
7593 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7594
7595 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7596 [Wu Zhigang]
7597
7598 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7599 [Steve Henson]
7600
7601 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7602 [Steve Henson]
7603
7604 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7605 instead of using a fixed path.
7606 [Bodo Moeller]
7607
7608 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7609 [Andy Polyakov]
7610
7611 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7612 [Richard Levitte]
7613
7614
7615 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7616
7617 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7618 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7619 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7620
7621 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7622 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7623 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7624 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7625 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7626 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7627 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7628 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7629 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7630 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7631 [Steve Henson]
7632
7633 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7634 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7635 [Steve Henson]
7636
7637 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7638 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7639 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7640 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7641 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7642
7643 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7644 [Bodo Moeller]
7645
7646 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7647 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7648 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7649 [Steve Henson]
7650
7651 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7652 [Ben Laurie]
7653
7654 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7655 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7656 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7657 key elements as negative integers.
7658 [Steve Henson]
7659
7660 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7661 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7662
7663 *) VMS support.
7664 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7665
7666 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7667 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7668 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7669 [Steve Henson]
7670
7671 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7672 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7673 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7674 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7675 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7676 [Bodo Moeller]
7677
7678 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7679 [Ulf Möller]
7680
7681 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7682 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7683 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7684 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7685
7686 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7687 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7688 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7689
7690 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7691 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7692 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7693 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7694 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7695 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7696 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7697 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7698 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7699
7700 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7701 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7702 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7703 does not influence s as it used to.
7704
7705 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7706 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7707 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7708 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7709 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7710 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7711 [Bodo Moeller]
7712
7713 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7714 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7715 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7716 key type.
7717 [Steve Henson]
7718
7719 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7720 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7721 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7722 and 'x509').
7723 [Steve Henson]
7724
7725 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7726 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7727 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7728 extension option.
7729 [Steve Henson]
7730
7731 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7732 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7733 [Ben Laurie]
7734
7735 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7736 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7737
7738 *) Support Mingw32.
7739 [Ulf Möller]
7740
7741 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7742 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7743
7744 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7745 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7746
7747 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7748 [Ulf Möller]
7749
7750 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7751 [Anonymous]
7752
7753 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7754 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7755
7756 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7757 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7758 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7759 DER-encoded.)
7760 [Bodo Moeller]
7761
7762 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7763 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7764 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7765 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7766 now it really counts the depth.
7767 [Bodo Moeller]
7768
7769 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7770 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7771 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7772 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7773 didn't match the private key).
7774
7775 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7776 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7777 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7778 [Bodo Moeller]
7779
7780 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7781 [Ulf Möller]
7782
7783 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7784 David Harris.
7785 [Bodo Moeller]
7786
7787 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7788 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7789 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7790 [Bodo Moeller]
7791
7792 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7793 [Bodo Moeller]
7794
7795 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7796 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7797 such as /usr/local/bin.
7798 [Bodo Moeller]
7799
7800 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7801 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7802
7803 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7804 [Ulf Möller]
7805
7806 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7807 extension adding in x509 utility.
7808 [Steve Henson]
7809
7810 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7811 [Ulf Möller]
7812
7813 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7814 prototypes.
7815 [Steve Henson]
7816
7817 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7818 [Ulf Möller]
7819
7820 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7821 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7822 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7823 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7824 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7825 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7826 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7827 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7828 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7829 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7830 [Steve Henson]
7831
7832 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7833 [Bodo Moeller]
7834
7835 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7836 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7837 [Bodo Moeller]
7838
7839 *) Fix some race conditions.
7840 [Bodo Moeller]
7841
7842 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7843 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7844 [Steve Henson]
7845
7846 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7847 [Ulf Möller]
7848
7849 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7850 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7851 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7852 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7853
7854 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7855 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7856
7857 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7858 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7859 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7860
7861 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7862 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7863
7864 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7865 [Ulf Möller]
7866
7867 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7868 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7869
7870 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7871 [Ulf Möller]
7872
7873 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7874 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7875
7876 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7877 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7878 [Steve Henson]
7879
7880 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7881 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7882 [Ben Laurie]
7883
7884 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7885 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7886 [Steve Henson]
7887
7888 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7889 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7890 [Steve Henson]
7891
7892 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7893 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7894 [Steve Henson]
7895
7896 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7897 support typesafe stack.
7898 [Steve Henson]
7899
7900 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7901 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7902
7903 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7904 old X509V3 handling code.
7905 [Steve Henson]
7906
7907 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7908 [Ulf Möller]
7909
7910 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7911 [Bodo Moeller]
7912
7913 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7914 [Ben Laurie]
7915
7916 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7917 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7918
7919 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7920 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7921 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7922 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7923 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7924 [Ben Laurie]
7925
7926 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7927 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7928 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7929 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7930 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7931
7932 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7933 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7934 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7935 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7936
7937 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7938 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7939 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7940 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7941
7942 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7943 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7944 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7945 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7946 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7947 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7948 [Bodo Moeller]
7949
7950 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7951 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7952 [Bodo Moeller]
7953
7954 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7955 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7956 [Ulf Möller]
7957
7958 *) Tweaks to Configure
7959 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7960
7961 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7962 yet...
7963 [Steve Henson]
7964
7965 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7966 [Ulf Möller]
7967
7968 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7969 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7970 [Ulf Möller]
7971
7972 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7973 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7974 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7975 [Bodo Moeller]
7976
7977 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7978 [Bodo Moeller]
7979
7980 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7981 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7982 [Steve Henson]
7983
7984 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7985 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7986 to library startup routines.
7987 [Steve Henson]
7988
7989 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7990 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7991 codes along the way.
7992 [Steve Henson]
7993
7994 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7995 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7996 objects to objects.h
7997 [Steve Henson]
7998
7999 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8000 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8001 [Steve Henson]
8002
8003 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8004 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8005
8006 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8007 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8008 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8009
8010 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8011 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8012 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8013
8014 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8015 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8016 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8017
8018
8019 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8020
8021 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8022 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8023 [Ben Laurie]
8024
8025 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8026 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8027 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8028 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8029 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8030
8031 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8032 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8033 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8034 document.
8035 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8036
8037 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8038 Malloc, Free.
8039 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8040
8041 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8042 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8043
8044 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8045 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8046 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8047 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8048
8049 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8050 [Ben Laurie]
8051
8052 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8053 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8054 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8055 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8056 [Steve Henson]
8057
8058 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8059 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8060 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8061 [Steve Henson]
8062
8063 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8064 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8065 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8066 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8067 installed as `perl').
8068 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8069
8070 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8071 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8072
8073 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8074 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8075 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8076 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8077 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8078 [Steve Henson]
8079
8080 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8081 [Ben Laurie]
8082
8083 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8084 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8085 is horrible: I feel ill....
8086 [Steve Henson]
8087
8088 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8089 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8090 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8091 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8092 [Steve Henson]
8093
8094 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8095 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8096
8097 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8098 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8099 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8100 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8101
8102 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8103 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8104 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8105 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8106 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8107 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8108 openssl_bio.xs.
8109 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8110
8111 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8112 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8113
8114 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8115 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8116
8117 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8118 [Ben Laurie]
8119
8120 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8121 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8122 in CRLs.
8123 [Steve Henson]
8124
8125 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8126 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8127 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8128 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8129 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8130 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8131 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8132 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8133 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8134 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8135 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8136
8137 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8138 [Ben Laurie]
8139
8140 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8141 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8142 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8143 for linking it into DSOs.
8144 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8145
8146 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8147 Fixed.
8148 [Ben Laurie]
8149
8150 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8151 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8152 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8153 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8154 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8155 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8156
8157 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8158 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8159 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8160 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8161 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8162 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8163 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8164
8165 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8166 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8167 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8168 encryption.
8169 [Ben Laurie]
8170
8171 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8172 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8173 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8174 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8175 [Steve Henson]
8176
8177 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8178 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8179 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8180 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8181 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8182 field as blank.
8183 [Steve Henson]
8184
8185 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8186 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8187 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8188 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8189 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8190
8191 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8192 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8193 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8194
8195 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8196 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8197
8198 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8199 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8200 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8201 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8202 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8203 [Steve Henson]
8204
8205 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8206 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8207 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8208 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8209 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8210 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8211 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8212 [Ben Laurie]
8213
8214 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8215 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
8216 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8217 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8218 [Ben Laurie]
8219
8220 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8221 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8222
8223 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8224 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8225 [Steve Henson]
8226
8227 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8228 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8229 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8230 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8231 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8232 (e.g. s_server).
8233 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8234 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8235 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8236 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8237 no way to reconfigure them.
8238 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8239 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8240 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8241 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8242 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8243 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8244
8245 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8246 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8247 recognized by the users.
8248 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8249
8250 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8251 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8252 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8253 already masked variable.
8254 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8255
8256 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8257 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8258
8259 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8260 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8261 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8262 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8263
8264 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8265 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8266 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8267
8268 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8269 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8270 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8271 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8272 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8273 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8274 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8275 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8276 now, too.
8277 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8278
8279 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8280 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8281 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8282
8283 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8284 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8285 config file.
8286 [Steve Henson]
8287
8288 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8289 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8290
8291 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8292 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8293 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8294 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8295 [Ben Laurie]
8296
8297 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8298 [Steve Henson]
8299
8300 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8301 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8302
8303 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8304 [Ben Laurie]
8305
8306 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8307 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8308 [Steve Henson]
8309
8310 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8311 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8312 [Steve Henson]
8313
8314 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8315 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8316 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8317 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8318 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8319 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8320 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8321 Ben Laurie]
8322
8323 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8324 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8325
8326 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8327 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8328 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8329 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8330 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8331
8332 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8333 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8334 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8335 [Steve Henson]
8336
8337 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8338 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8339 an example.
8340 [Steve Henson]
8341
8342 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8343 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8344 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8345
8346 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8347 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8348 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8349 build instructions.
8350 [Steve Henson]
8351
8352 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8353 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8354 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8355 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8356 [Steve Henson]
8357
8358 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8359 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8360 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8361 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8362 [Ben Laurie]
8363
8364 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8365 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8366 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8367 so it wasn't spotted.
8368 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8369
8370 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8371 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8372 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8373 vectors if you have them.
8374 [Ben Laurie]
8375
8376 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8377 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8378 [Ben Laurie]
8379
8380 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8381 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8382 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8383 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8384 If you do a:
8385 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8386 it will update them.
8387 [Steve Henson]
8388
8389 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8390 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8391 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8392 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8393 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8394 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8395 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8396 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8397
8398 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8399 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8400 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8401 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8402 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8403 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8404 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8405 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8406 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8407 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8408
8409 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8410 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8411 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8412 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8413 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8414 [Steve Henson]
8415
8416 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8417 INTEGER code.
8418 [Steve Henson]
8419
8420 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8421 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8422
8423 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8424 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8425
8426 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8427 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8428 [Ben Laurie]
8429
8430 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8431 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8432
8433 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8434 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8435
8436 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8437 [Steve Henson]
8438
8439 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8440 few typos.
8441 [Steve Henson]
8442
8443 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8444 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8445 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8446 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8447
8448 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8449 [Steve Henson]
8450
8451 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8452 [Steve Henson]
8453
8454 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8455 [Steve Henson]
8456
8457 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8458 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8459 [Steve Henson]
8460
8461 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8462 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8463 CA extensions.
8464 [Steve Henson]
8465
8466 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8467 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8468 [Steve Henson]
8469
8470 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8471 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8472 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8473 [Steve Henson]
8474
8475 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8476 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8477 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8478 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8479 properly to be processed.
8480 [Steve Henson]
8481
8482 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8483 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8484 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8485 [Ben Laurie]
8486
8487 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8488 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8489
8490 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8491 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8492 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8493 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8494 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8495 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8496 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8497 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8498 or delete all the .err files.
8499 [Steve Henson]
8500
8501 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8502 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8503 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8504 to regenerate it if needed.
8505 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8506 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8507
8508 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8509 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8510
8511 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8512 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8513 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8514 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8515 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8516 [Steve Henson]
8517
8518 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8519 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8520
8521 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8522 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8523
8524 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8525 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8526 error, but didn't set one).
8527 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8528
8529 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8530 [Ben Laurie]
8531
8532 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8533 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8534 [Steve Henson]
8535
8536 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8537 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8538
8539 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8540 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8541 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8542 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8543 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8544 OID is not part of the table.
8545 [Steve Henson]
8546
8547 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8548 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8549 [Ben Laurie]
8550
8551 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8552 [Ben Laurie]
8553
8554 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8555 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8556 was "1234").
8557 [Steve Henson]
8558
8559 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8560 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8561
8562 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8563 NULL pointers.
8564 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8565
8566 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8567 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8568
8569 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8570 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8571
8572 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8573 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8574
8575 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8576 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8577 [Ben Laurie]
8578
8579 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8580 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8581 [Steve Henson]
8582
8583 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8584 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8585
8586 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8587 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8588
8589 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8590 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8591
8592 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8593 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8594
8595 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8596 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8597 unused in the certificate verification process.
8598 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8599
8600 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8601 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8602 [Steve Henson]
8603
8604 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8605 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8606 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8607
8608 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8609 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8610 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8611 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8612 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8613
8614 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8615 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8616 [Steve Henson]
8617
8618 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8619 [Steve Henson]
8620
8621 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8622 [Paul Sutton]
8623
8624 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8625 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8626
8627 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8628 [Ben Laurie]
8629
8630 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8631 [Ben Laurie]
8632
8633 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8634 [Ben Laurie]
8635
8636 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8637 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8638 other error libraries.
8639 [Steve Henson]
8640
8641 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8642 [Steve Henson]
8643
8644 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8645 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8646 be read in.
8647 [Steve Henson]
8648
8649 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8650 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8651 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8652 the new set of documenation files.
8653 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8654
8655 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8656 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8657 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8658 number of arguments.
8659 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8660
8661 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8662 [Ben Laurie]
8663
8664 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8665 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8666 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8667
8668 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8669 [Ben Laurie]
8670
8671 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8672 nextstep
8673 ncr-scde
8674 unixware-2.0
8675 unixware-2.0-pentium
8676 sco5-cc.
8677 [Ben Laurie]
8678
8679 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8680 before they are needed.
8681 [Ben Laurie]
8682
8683 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8684 [Ben Laurie]
8685
8686
8687 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]

8694 [Paul Sutton]
8695
8696 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8697 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8698 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8699
8700 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8701 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8702 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8703
8704 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8705 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8706 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8707
8708 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,

8711 *) Updated the README file.
8712 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8713

8715 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8716 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8717
8718 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8719 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.

8822 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8823 [Eric A. Young]
8824
8825 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8826 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
