5 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
8 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
9 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
10 files from the associated perl scripts.
11 [Steve Henson]
12
13 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
14 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
15 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
16
17 *) s390x assembler pack.
18 [Andy Polyakov]
19
20 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
21 "family."
22 [Andy Polyakov]
23
24 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
25 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
26 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
27 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
28 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
29 to use. For example, specify an option
30
31 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
32
33 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
34 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
35 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
36 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
37 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
38 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
39
40 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
41 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
42 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
43 return non-zero for success.
44
45 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
46 by using
47
48 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
49 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
50
51 where
52
53 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
54 void *arg;
55
56 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
57 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
58 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
59 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
60 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
61 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
62 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
63 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
64 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
65
66 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
67 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
68 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
69 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
70 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
71 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
72
73 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
74 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
75 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
76 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
77 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
78 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
79
80 [Bodo Moeller]
81
82 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
83 MAC.
84
85 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
86
87 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
88 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
89 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
90 supported.
91
92 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
93 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
94 SSL_SESSION.
95
96 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
97 protection in servers so again support should be possible
98 with no application modification.
99
100 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
101 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
102
103 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
104 or server extensions to be examined.
105
106 This work was sponsored by Google.
107 [Steve Henson]
108
109 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
110 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
111 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
112
113 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
114 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
115 ciphersuite support.
116 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
117
118 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
119 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
120 to output in BER and PEM format.
121 [Steve Henson]
122
123 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
124 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
125 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
126 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
127 -macopt options to dgst utility.
128 [Steve Henson]
129
130 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
131 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
132 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
133 utility.
134 [Steve Henson]
135
136 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
137 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
138 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
139 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
140 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
141 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
142 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
143 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
144 enabled again.
145
146 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
147 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
148 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
149 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
150
151 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
152 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
153 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
154 the default order.
155 [Bodo Moeller]
156
157 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
158 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
159 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
160 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
161 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
162 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
163 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
164 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
165 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
166
167 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
168 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
169 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
170 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
171 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
172 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
173 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
174 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
175 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
176 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
177 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
178 kinds of kludges.
179
180 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
181 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
182 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
183
184 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
185 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
186 "CAMELLIA256".
187 [Bodo Moeller]
188
189 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
190 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
191 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
192 [Nils Larsch]
193
194 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
195 it yet and it is largely untested.
196 [Steve Henson]
197
198 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
199 [Nils Larsch]
200
201 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
202 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
203 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
204 [Steve Henson]
205
206 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
207 [Andy Polyakov]
208
209 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
210 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
211 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
212 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
213 [Steve Henson]
214
215 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
216 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
217 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
218 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
219 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
220 [Steve Henson]
221
222 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
223 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
224 [Cryptocom]
225
226 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
227 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
228 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
229 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
230 [Steve Henson]
231
232 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
233 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
234 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
235 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
236 [Steve Henson]
237
238 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
239 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
240 [Steve Henson]
241
242 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
243 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
244 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
245 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
246 [Steve Henson]
247
248 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
249 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
250 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
251 [Steve Henson]
252
253 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
254 utility.
255 [Steve Henson]
256
257 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
258 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
259 [Steve Henson]
260
261 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
262 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
263 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
264 if necessary.
265 [Steve Henson]
266
267 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
268 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
269 to free up any added signature OIDs.
270 [Steve Henson]
271
272 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
273 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
274 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
275 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
276 [Steve Henson]
277
278 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
279 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
280 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
281 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
282 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
283 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
284 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
285 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
286
287 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
288 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
289 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
290
291 we now have additional functions
292
293 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
294 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
295 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
296
297 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
298 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
299 callback is &errno.
300 [Bodo Moeller]
301
302 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
303 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
304 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
305 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
306 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
307 the array representation useful in a more general context.
308 [Douglas Stebila]
309
310 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
311 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
312 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
313 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
314 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
315
316 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
317 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
318 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
319 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
320 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
321 protocol).
322
323 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
324 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
325 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
326 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
327
328 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
329 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
330 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
331 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
332 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
333
334 aECDH - ECDH cert
335 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
336 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
337
338 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
339 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
340
341 [Bodo Moeller]
342
343 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
344 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
345 [Steve Henson]
346
347 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
348 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
349 [Steve Henson]
350
351 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
352 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
353 functional reference processing.
354 [Steve Henson]
355
356 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
357 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
358 process.
359 [Steve Henson]
360
361 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
362 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
363 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
364 [Steve Henson]
365
366 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
367 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
368 application to support multiple signers.
369 [Steve Henson]
370
371 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
372 digest MAC.
373 [Steve Henson]
374
375 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
376 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
377 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
378 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
379 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
380 [Steve Henson]
381
382 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
383 new API.
384 [Steve Henson]
385
386 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
387 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
388 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
389 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
390 a no op.
391 [Steve Henson]
392
393 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
394 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
395 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
396 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
397 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
398 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
399 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
400 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
401 [Steve Henson]
402
403 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
404 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
405 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
406 between digests and public key types.
407 [Steve Henson]
408
409 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
410 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
411 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
412 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
413 [Steve Henson]
414
415 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
416 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
417 key ASN1 method.
418 [Steve Henson]
419
420 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
421 [Steve Henson]
422
423 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
424 pkeyutl.
425 [Steve Henson]
426
427 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
428 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
429 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
430 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
431 pkey, genpkey.
432 [Steve Henson]
433
434 *) BeOS support.
435 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
436
437 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
438 manual pages.
439 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
440
441 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
442 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
443 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
444 functionality for RSA.
445 [Steve Henson]
446
447 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
448 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
449 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
450 [Steve Henson]
451
452 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
453 key API, doesn't do much yet.
454 [Steve Henson]
455
456 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
457 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
458 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
459 [Steve Henson]
460
461 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
462 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
463 [Douglas Stebila]
464
465 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
466 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
467 [Steve Henson]
468
469 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
470 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
471 type.
472 [Steve Henson]
473
474 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
475 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
476 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
477 structure.
478 [Steve Henson]
479
480 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
481 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
482 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
483 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
484 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
485 of public and private key structures.
486 [Steve Henson]
487
488 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
489 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
490 [Douglas Stebila]
491
492 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
493 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
494 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
495
496 New ciphersuites:
497 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
498 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
499
500 New functions:
501 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
502 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
503 SSL_get_psk_identity
504 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
505
506 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
507
508 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
509 and response verification functionality.
510 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
511
512 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
513 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
514 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
515 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
516 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
517 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
518 server_name extension.
519
520 New functions (subject to change):
521
522 SSL_get_servername()
523 SSL_get_servername_type()
524 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
525
526 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
527
528 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
529 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
530 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
531 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
532 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
533
534 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
535
536 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
537 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
538 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
539 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
540 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
541 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
542 option.
543
544 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
545
546 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
547 [Andy Polyakov]
548
549 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
550 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
551 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
552 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
553 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
554 [Andy Polyakov]
555
556 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
557 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
558 macro.
559 [Bodo Moeller]
560
561 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
562 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
563 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
564 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
565 [Andy Polyakov]
566
567 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
568 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
569 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
570 using the maximum available value.
571 [Steve Henson]
572
573 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
574 in addition to the text details.
575 [Bodo Moeller]
576
577 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
578 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
579 handle several customised structures at all.
580 [Steve Henson]
581
582 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
583 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
584 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
585 [Steve Henson]
586
587 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
588 [Steve Henson]
589
590 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
591 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
592 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
593 [Steve Henson]
594
595 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
596 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
597 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
598 [Nils Larsch]
599
600 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
601 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
602 all fields.
603 [Steve Henson]
604
605 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
606 [Steve Henson]
607
608 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
609 [NTT]
610
611 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [xx XXX xxxx]
612
613 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
614 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
615 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
616
617 *) Netware support:
618
619 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
620 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
621 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
622 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
623 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
624 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
625 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
626 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
627 platform
628 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
629 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
630 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
631 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
632 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
633 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
634 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
635
636 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
637 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
638 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
639 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
640 to s_client and s_server.
641 [Steve Henson]
642
643 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
644
645 *) Fix various bugs:
646 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
647 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
648 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
649 + Fix ia64 assembler code
650 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
651
652 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
653
654 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
655 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
656 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
657 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
658 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
659 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
660 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
661 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
662 [Andy Polyakov]
663
664 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
665 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
666 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
667 Steve Henson]
668
669 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
670 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
671 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
672 supported.
673
674 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
675 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
676 SSL_SESSION.
677
678 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
679 protection in servers so again support should be possible
680 with no application modification.
681
682 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
683 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
684
685 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
686 or server extensions to be examined.
687
688 This work was sponsored by Google.
689 [Steve Henson]
690
691 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
692 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
693 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
694 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
695 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
696 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
697 server_name extension.
698
699 New functions (subject to change):
700
701 SSL_get_servername()
702 SSL_get_servername_type()
703 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
704
705 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
706
707 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
708 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
709 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
710 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
711 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
712
713 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
714
715 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
716 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
717 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
718 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
719 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
720 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
721 option.
722
723 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
724
725 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
726 [Steve Henson]
727
728 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
729 [Andy Polyakov]
730
731 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
732 (which previously caused an internal error).
733 [Bodo Moeller]
734
735 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
736 [Ben Laurie]
737
738 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
739 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
740
741 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
742 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
743 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
744
745 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
746 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
747 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
748 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
749
750 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
751 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
752 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
753 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
754
755 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
756 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
757 information. For detailed background information, see
758 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
759 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
760 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
761 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
762 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
763 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
764 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
765 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
766 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
767 remove a conditional branch.
768
769 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
770 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
771 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
772 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
773 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
774 remains as a deprecated alias.
775
776 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
777 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
778 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
779 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
780
781 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
782 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
783 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
784 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
785 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
786 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
787 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
788 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
789
790 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
791
792 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
793 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
794 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
795 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
796 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
797 with applications using a single external cache for quite
798 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
799 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
800 in a different context.
801 [Bodo Moeller]
802
803 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
804 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
805 authentication-only ciphersuites.
806 [Bodo Moeller]
807
808 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
809
810 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
811 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
812 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
813 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
814 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
815 [Victor Duchovni]
816
817 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
818 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
819 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
820 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
821 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
822 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
823 [Bodo Moeller]
824
825 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
826 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
827 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
828 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
829 message has informed the client about his choice.)
830 [Bodo Moeller]
831
832 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
833 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
834
835 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
836 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
837 Improve header file function name parsing.
838 [Steve Henson]
839
840 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
841 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
842 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
843
844 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
845
846 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
847 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
848 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
849
850 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
851 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
852
853 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
854 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
855
856 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
857 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
858 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
859
860 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
861 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
862 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
863 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
864 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
865 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
866 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
867 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
868 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
869
870 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
871 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
872 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
873 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
874 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
875
876 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
877 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
878 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
879 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
880 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
881 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
882 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
883 multiple values to extend the available space.
884
885 [Bodo Moeller]
886
887 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
888
889 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
890 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
891
892 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
893 [Ben Laurie]
894
895 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
896 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
897 undesirable limitations.
898 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
899
900 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
901 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
902 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
903 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
904 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
905 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
906 to avoid potential handshake problems.
907 [Bodo Moeller]
908
909 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
910
911 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
912 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
913 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
914
915 The latter two were purportedly from
916 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
917 appear there.
918
919 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
920 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
921 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
922 [Bodo Moeller]
923
924 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
925 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
926 [Bodo Moeller]
927
928 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
929 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
930 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
931 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
932
933 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
934 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
935 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
936 [NTT]
937
938 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
939 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
940 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
941 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
942 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
943 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
944 [Steve Henson]
945
946 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
947
948 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
949 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
950 [Steve Henson]
951
952 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
953 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
954
955 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
956 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
957 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
958 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
959 [Douglas Stebila]
960
961 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
962 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
963 [Steve Henson]
964
965 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
966 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
967 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
968 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
969 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
970 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
971 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
972 can't be loaded.
973 [Steve Henson]
974
975 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
976 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
977 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
978 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
979 [Steve Henson]
980
981 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
982 under VC++ build system.
983 [Steve Henson]
984
985 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
986 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
987 [Richard Levitte]
988
989 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
990
991 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
992 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
993 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
994 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
995 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
996
997 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
998 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
999 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1000
1001 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1002 [Steve Henson]
1003
1004 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1005 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1006 [Nils Larsch]
1007
1008 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1009 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1010
1011 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1012 [Nick Mathewson]
1013
1014 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1015 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1016
1017 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1018 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1019 [Steve Henson]
1020
1021 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1022 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1023 smime utility.
1024 [Steve Henson]
1025
1026 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1027
1028 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1029 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1030
1031 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1032 [Richard Levitte]
1033
1034 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1035 key into the same file any more.
1036 [Richard Levitte]
1037
1038 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1039 [Andy Polyakov]
1040
1041 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1042 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1043
1044 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1045 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1046 [Richard Levitte]
1047
1048 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1049 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1050 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1051 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1052 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1053 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1054
1055 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1056 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1057 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1058 [Steve Henson]
1059
1060 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1061 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1062 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1063 - add new function for parameter creation
1064 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1065 BN_BLINDING parameters
1066 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1067 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1068 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1069 threads.
1070 [Nils Larsch]
1071
1072 *) Add support for DTLS.
1073 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1074
1075 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1076 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1077 [Walter Goulet]
1078
1079 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1080 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1081 [Nils Larsch]
1082
1083 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1084 the apps/openssl applications.
1085 [Nils Larsch]
1086
1087 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1088 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1089 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1090 [Ben Laurie]
1091
1092 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1093 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1094
1095 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1096 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1097
1098 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1099 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1100 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1101 avoid this algorithm.)
1102
1103 [Bodo Moeller]
1104
1105 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1106 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1107 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1108 [Richard Levitte]
1109
1110 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1111 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1112 [Andy Polyakov]
1113
1114 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1115 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1116 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1117 pod file:
1118
1119 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1120
1121 The blank line is mandatory.
1122
1123 [Steve Henson]
1124
1125 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1126 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1127 sources.
1128 [Steve Henson]
1129
1130 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1131 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1132
1133 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1134 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1135 to support policy checking and print out.
1136 [Steve Henson]
1137
1138 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1139 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1140 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1141 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1142
1143 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1144 [Geoff Thorpe]
1145
1146 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1147 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1148
1149 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1150 implementation contributed by IBM.
1151 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1152
1153 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1154 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1155 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1156 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1157
1158 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1159 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1160
1161 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1162 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1163 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1164 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1165 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1166 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1167 [Steve Henson]
1168
1169 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1170 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1171 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1172 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1173 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1174 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1175 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1176 [Geoff Thorpe]
1177
1178 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1179 [Steve Henson]
1180
1181 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1182 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1183 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1184 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1185 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1186 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1187 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1188 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1189 [Steve Henson]
1190
1191 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1192 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1193 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1194 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1195 [Steve Henson]
1196
1197 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1198 syntax:
1199
1200 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1201 [Steve Henson]
1202
1203 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1204 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1205 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1206 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1207 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1208 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1209 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1210 [Geoff Thorpe]
1211
1212 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1213 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1214 [Geoff Thorpe]
1215
1216 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1217 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1218 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1219 [Steve Henson]
1220
1221 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1222 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1223 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1224 below).
1225 [Geoff Thorpe]
1226
1227 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1228 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1229 [Richard Levitte]
1230
1231 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1232 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1233 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1234 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1235 [Geoff Thorpe]
1236
1237 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1238 initialised value as BN_new().
1239 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1240
1241 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1242 [Steve Henson]
1243
1244 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1245 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1246 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1247 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1248 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1249 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1250 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1251 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1252 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1253 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1254 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1255 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1256 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1257 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1258 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1259
1260 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1261 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1262 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1263 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1264 [Geoff Thorpe]
1265
1266 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1267 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1268 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1269 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1270 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1271 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1272 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1273 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1274 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1275 [Geoff Thorpe]
1276
1277 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1278 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1279 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1280 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1281 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1282 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1283 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1284 [Geoff Thorpe]
1285
1286 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1287 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1288 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1289 these have been updated also.
1290 [Geoff Thorpe]
1291
1292 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1293 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1294 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1295 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1296 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1297 functions.
1298 [Steve Henson]
1299
1300 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1301 structure of type "other".
1302 [Steve Henson]
1303
1304 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1305 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1306 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1307 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1308 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1309 situation in the script.
1310 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1311
1312 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1313 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1314 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1315 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1316 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1317 used as premaster secret.
1318 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1319
1320 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1321 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1322 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1323
1324 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1325 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1326
1327 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1328 control of the error stack.
1329 [Richard Levitte]
1330
1331 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1332 [Richard Levitte]
1333
1334 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1335 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1336 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1337 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1338 [Richard Levitte]
1339
1340 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1341 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1342 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1343 [Richard Levitte]
1344
1345 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1346 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1347 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1348 a memory area.
1349 [Richard Levitte]
1350
1351 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1352 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1353 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1354 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1355 [Richard Levitte]
1356
1357 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1358 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1359 the following flags are defined:
1360
1361 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1362 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1363 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1364 number.
1365
1366 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1367 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1368 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1369 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1370 returns zero.
1371 [Richard Levitte]
1372
1373 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1374 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1375 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1376 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1377 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1378 [Richard Levitte]
1379
1380 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1381 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1382 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1383 [Richard Levitte]
1384
1385 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1386 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1387 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1388 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1389 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1390 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1391 [Richard Levitte]
1392
1393 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1394 req and dirName.
1395 [Steve Henson]
1396
1397 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1398 [Steve Henson]
1399
1400 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1401 [Steve Henson]
1402
1403 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1404 [Steve Henson]
1405
1406 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1407 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1408 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1409 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1410 default implementation more easily.
1411 [Geoff Thorpe]
1412
1413 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1414 in config files.
1415 [Steve Henson]
1416
1417 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1418 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1419 [Richard Levitte]
1420
1421 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1422 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1423 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1424 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1425
1426 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1427 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1428 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1429 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1430 [Steve Henson]
1431
1432 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1433 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1434 to do it.
1435 [Richard Levitte]
1436
1437 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1438 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1439 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1440 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1441 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1442 scalar * generator).
1443 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1444
1445 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1446 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1447 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1448 correctly.
1449 [Steve Henson]
1450
1451 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1452 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1453 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1454 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1455 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1456 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1457 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1458 linker additions, eg;
1459 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1460 [Geoff Thorpe]
1461
1462 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1463 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1464 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1465 [Geoff Thorpe]
1466
1467 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1468 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1469 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1470 via PR#459)
1471 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1472
1473 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1474 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1475 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1476 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1477 [Geoff Thorpe]
1478
1479 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1480 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1481 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1482 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1483 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1484 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1485 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1486 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1487 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1488 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1489
1490 Example for using the new callback interface:
1491
1492 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1493 void *my_arg = ...;
1494 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1495
1496 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1497
1498 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1499 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1500 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1501 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.

1504 */
1505
1506 [Geoff Thorpe]
1507
1508 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1509 available to TLS with the number defined in
1510 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1511 [Richard Levitte]
1512
1513 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1514 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1515
1516 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1517 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1518 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1519 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1520
1521 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1522 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1523
1524 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1525 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1526 well.
1527 [Richard Levitte]
1528
1529 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1530 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1531 [Richard Levitte]
1532
1533 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1534 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1535 and a macro that behave like
1536 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1537
1538 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1539 [Nils Larsch]
1540
1541 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1542 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1543 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1544 if applicable.
1545 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1546
1547 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1548 [Bodo Moeller]
1549
1550 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1551 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1552 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1553 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1554 directory engines/.
1555 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1556 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1557 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1558 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1559 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1560 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1561 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1562 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1563
1564 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1565 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1566 [Richard Levitte]
1567
1568 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1569 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1570
1571 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1572 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1573 files while avoiding the low level API.
1574
1575 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1576 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1577 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1578 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1579
1580 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1581 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1582 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1583 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1584 instead of the low level API.
1585 [Steve Henson]
1586
1587 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1588 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1589 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1590 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1591 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1592 PKCS#7 code.
1593
1594 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1595 down to the template encoder.
1596 [Steve Henson]
1597
1598 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1599 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1600 [Bodo Moeller]
1601
1602 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1603 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1604 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1605 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1606
1607 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1608 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1609
1610 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1611 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1612
1613 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1614 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1615 [Bodo Moeller]
1616
1617 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1618 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1619 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1620 [Bodo Moeller]
1621
1622 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1623 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1624
1625 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1626 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1627
1628 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1629 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1630 New EC_METHOD:
1631
1632 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1633
1634 New API functions:
1635
1636 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1637 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1638 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1639 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1640 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1641 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1642
1643 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1644 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1645 enable it).
1646
1647 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1648 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1649 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1650 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1651 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1652 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1653 various internal method names.)
1654
1655 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1656 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1657
1658 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1659 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1660
1661 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1662 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1663
1664 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1665 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1666 methods are undefined.
1667
1668 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1669 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1670
1671 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1672 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1673 length of the modulus.
1674
1675 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1676 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1677
1678 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1679 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1680
1681 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1682 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1683
1684 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1685 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1686 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1687
1688 BN_GF2m_add
1689 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1690 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1691 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1692 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1693 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
1694 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1695 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1696 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1697 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1698
1699 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1700 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1701
1702 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1703 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1704 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1705 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1706 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1707 where
1708 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1709 This applies to the following functions:
1710
1711 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
1712 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
1713 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
1714 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1715 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1716 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
1717 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1718 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1719 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1720 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1721
1722 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1723
1724 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1725 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1726
1727 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1728
1729 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1730 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1731 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1732 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1733 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1734
1735 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1736 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1737
1738 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1739 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1740 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1741
1742 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1743 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1744
1745 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1746 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1747 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1748 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1749 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1750
1751 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1752 functions
1753 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1754 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1755 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1756 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1757 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1758 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1759 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1760 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1761 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1762 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1763 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1764 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1765
1766 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1767 functions
1768 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
1769 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1770 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1771 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1772 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1773
1774 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1775 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1776 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1777 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1778
1779 *) Add functions
1780 EC_POINT_point2bn()
1781 EC_POINT_bn2point()
1782 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1783 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1784 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1785 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1786 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1787
1788 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1789 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1790 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1791 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1792 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1793 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1794 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1795 adding different types of curves.
1796 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1797
1798 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1799 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1800 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1801 [Bodo Moeller]
1802
1803 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1804 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1805
1806 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1807 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1808 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1809 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1810
1811 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1812
1813 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1814 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1815
1816 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1817 library. Most notably,
1818 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1819 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1820 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1821 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1822 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1823 extracted before the specific public key;
1824 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1825 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1826
1827 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1828 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1829 function
1830 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1831 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1832 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1833 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1834 accessed via
1835 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1836 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1837 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1838
1839 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1840 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1841 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1842 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1843 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1844 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1845 differing sizes.
1846 [Richard Levitte]
1847
1848 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1849
1850 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1851 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1852 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1853 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1854 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1855 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1856 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1857 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1858 in a different context.
1859 [Bodo Moeller]
1860
1861 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1862
1863 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1864 sensitive data.
1865 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1866
1867 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1868 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1869 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1870 [Bodo Moeller]
1871
1872 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1873 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1874 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1875 [Victor Duchovni]
1876
1877 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1878 [Steve Henson]
1879
1880 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1881 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1882 [Steve Henson]
1883
1884 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1885 run algorithm test programs.
1886 [Steve Henson]
1887
1888 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1889 [Steve Henson]
1890
1891 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1892 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1893 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1894 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1895 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1896 [Bodo Moeller]
1897
1898 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1899 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1900 [Steve Henson]
1901
1902 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1903
1904 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1905 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1906 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1907
1908 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1909 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1910
1911 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1912 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1913
1914 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1915 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1916 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1917
1918 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1919 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1920 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1921 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1922 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1923 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1924 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1925 [Bodo Moeller]
1926
1927 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1928
1929 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1930 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1931
1932 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1933 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1934 undesirable limitations.
1935 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1936
1937 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1938
1939 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1940 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1941 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1942
1943 The latter two were purportedly from
1944 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1945 appear there.
1946
1947 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1948 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1949 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1950 [Bodo Moeller]
1951
1952 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1953 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1954 [Bodo Moeller]
1955
1956 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1957
1958 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1959 module in FIPS mode.
1960 [Steve Henson]
1961
1962 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1963 [Steve Henson]
1964
1965 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1966 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1967 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1968 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1969 [Steve Henson]
1970
1971 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1972
1973 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1974 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1975 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1976 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1977 the difference induced by this change.
1978 [Andy Polyakov]
1979
1980 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1981
1982 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1983 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1984 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1985 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1986 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1987
1988 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1989 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1990 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1991
1992 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1993 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1994 [Steve Henson]
1995
1996 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1997 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1998 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1999 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2000 biased k.)
2001 [Bodo Moeller]
2002
2003 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2004 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2005 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2006 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2007 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2008
2009 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2010 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2011 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2012 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2013 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2014 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2015
2016 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2017
2018 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2019 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2020 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2021 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2022 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2023 [Bodo Moeller]
2024
2025 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2026 clients need.
2027 [Steve Henson]
2028
2029 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2030 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2031 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2032 [Steve Henson]
2033
2034 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2035 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2036 structures constant.
2037 [Steve Henson]
2038
2039 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2040
2041 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2042 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
2043
2044 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2045 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2046 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2047 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2048 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2049 some needed definitions.
2050 [Steve Henson]
2051
2052 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2053 [Ulf Möller]
2054
2055 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2056 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2057 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2058 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2059 [Richard Levitte]
2060
2061 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2062
2063 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2064 server and client random values. Previously
2065 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2066 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2067
2068 This change has negligible security impact because:
2069
2070 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2071 data.
2072
2073 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2074 handshake.
2075
2076 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2077 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2078 values.
2079
2080 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2081 to our attention.
2082
2083 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2084
2085 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2086 [Ulf Möller]
2087
2088 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2089 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2090 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2091
2092 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2093 [Steve Henson]
2094
2095 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2096 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2097 [Andy Polyakov]
2098
2099 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2100 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2101 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2102
2103 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2104 [Steve Henson]
2105
2106 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2107 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2108 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2109 certificates.
2110 [Steve Henson]
2111
2112 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2113 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2114 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2115 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2116
2117 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2118 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2119 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2120 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2121 been given)
2122 [Richard Levitte]
2123
2124 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2125
2126 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2127 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2128 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2129 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2130 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2131 [Steve Henson]
2132
2133 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2134 [Steve Henson]
2135
2136 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2137 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2138
2139 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2140 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2141 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2142 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2143 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2144 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2145 rather than being initialized to 1.
2146 [Steve Henson]
2147
2148 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2149
2150 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2151 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2152 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2153
2154 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2155 (CVE-2004-0112)
2156 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2157
2158 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2159 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2160 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2161 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2162 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2163 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2164 [Richard Levitte]
2165
2166 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2167 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2168 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2169 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2170 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2171 for these cases.
2172 [Steve Henson]
2173
2174 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2175 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2176 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2177 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2178 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2179 [Steve Henson]
2180
2181 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2182 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2183 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2184 < 0.9.7.
2185 [Steve Henson]
2186
2187 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2188 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2189
2190 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2191 [Steve Henson]
2192
2193 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2194
2195 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2196
2197 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2198 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2199
2200 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2201
2202 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2203 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2204
2205 [Steve Henson]
2206
2207 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2208 exiting on the first error in a request.
2209 [Steve Henson]
2210
2211 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2212 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2213 specifications.
2214 [Steve Henson]
2215
2216 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2217 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2218 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2219 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2220
2221 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2222 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2223 [Richard Levitte]
2224
2225 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2226 blocks during encryption.
2227 [Richard Levitte]
2228
2229 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2230 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2231 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2232 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2233 certain size.
2234 [Steve Henson]
2235
2236 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2237 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2238 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2239 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2240 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2241 parser.
2242 [Steve Henson]
2243
2244 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2245
2246 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2247 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2248 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2249 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2250 [Bodo Moeller]
2251
2252 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2253 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2254 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2255 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2256 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2257
2258 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2259 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2260 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2261 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2262 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2263 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2264 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2265 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2266 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2267 [Bodo Moeller]
2268
2269 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2270 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2271 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2272 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2273 [Geoff Thorpe]
2274
2275 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2276 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2277 [Ulf Moeller]
2278
2279 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2280
2281 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2282 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2283 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2284 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2285 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2286
2287 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2288 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2289 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2290
2291 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2292 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2293 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2294 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2295 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2296
2297 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2298 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2299 used by default when no-err is given.
2300 [Richard Levitte]
2301
2302 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2303 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2304
2305 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2306 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2307 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2308 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2309 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2310
2311 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2312 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2313 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2314 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2315
2316 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2317
2318 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2319
2320 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2321
2322 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2323 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2324 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2325 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2326 root is omitted).
2327 [Steve Henson]
2328
2329 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2330 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2331
2332 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2333 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2334 [Steve Henson]
2335
2336 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2337 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2338 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2339 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2340 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2341
2342 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2343 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2344 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2345 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2346 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2347 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2348 followup to PR #377.
2349 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2350
2351 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2352 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2353 [Andy Polyakov]
2354
2355 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2356 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2357 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2358 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2359
2360 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2361
2362 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2363 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
2364
2365 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2366 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2367 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2368 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2369 client and server.
2370 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2371 PR #377.
2372 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2373
2374 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2375 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2376 removed entirely.
2377 [Richard Levitte]
2378
2379 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2380 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2381 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2382 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2383 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2384 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2385 of libcrypto.
2386 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2387 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2388 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2389 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2390 have to be made anyway).
2391 [Richard Levitte]
2392
2393 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2394 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2395 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2396 [Steve Henson]
2397
2398 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2399 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2400 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2401 [Richard Levitte]
2402
2403 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2404 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2405 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2406
2407 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2408 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2409 edit numbers of the version.
2410 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2411
2412 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2413 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2414 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2415
2416 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2417 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2418
2419 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2420 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2421 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2422
2423 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2424 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2425
2426 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2427 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2428
2429 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2430 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2431
2432 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2433 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2434
2435 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2436 overflows.
2437 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2438
2439 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2440 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2441 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2442
2443 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2444 representations in a platform independent manner.
2445 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2446
2447 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2448 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2449 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2450
2451 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2452 indents.
2453 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2454
2455 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2456 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2457
2458 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2459 full. Fixed.
2460 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2461
2462 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2463 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2464 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2465
2466 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2467 unconditionally).
2468 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2469
2470 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2471 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2472
2473 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2474 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2475
2476 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2477 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2478
2479 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2480 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2481
2482 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2483 CBCParameter.
2484 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2485
2486 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2487 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2488
2489 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2490 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2491
2492 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2493 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2494 exploitable.
2495 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2496
2497 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2498 the 0.9.6 release series:
2499
2500 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2501 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2502 (CVE-2002-0657)
2503 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2504
2505 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2506 [Richard Levitte]
2507
2508 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2509 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2510
2511 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2512 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2513
2514 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2515 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2516 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2517 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2518
2519 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2520 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2521 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2522
2523 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2524 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2525 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2526 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2527
2528 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2529 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2530 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2531 some local tweaks:
2532
2533 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2534 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2535 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2536 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2537 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2538 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2539 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2540 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2541 done
2542
2543 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2544 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2545 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2546 [Richard Levitte]
2547
2548 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2549 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2550 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2551 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2552 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2553
2554 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2555 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2556
2557 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2558 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2559 [Richard Levitte]
2560
2561 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2562 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2563 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2564 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2565 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2566 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2567 [Steve Henson]
2568
2569 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2570 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2571 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2572 [Steve Henson]
2573
2574 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2575 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2576 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2577
2578 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2579 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2580 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2581 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2582 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2583 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2584 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2585 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2586
2587 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2588 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2589 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2590 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2591 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2592 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2593 [Steve Henson]
2594
2595 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2596 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2597 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2598 declaration has been changed from
2599 int (*cb)()
2600 into
2601 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2602 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2603 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2604 has been changed into
2605 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2606
2607 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2608 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2609 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2610
2611 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2612 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2613
2614 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2615 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2616 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2617 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2618 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2619 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2620 always load it have also been added.
2621 [Steve Henson]
2622
2623 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2624 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2625 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2626
2627 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2628
2629 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2630 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2631 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2632
2633 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2634 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2635 command line option can be used to specify an
2636 alternative file.
2637 [Steve Henson]
2638
2639 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2640 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2641 [Steve Henson]
2642
2643 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2644 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2645 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2646 [Steve Henson]
2647
2648 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2649 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2650 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2651 to work with the new engine framework.
2652 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2653
2654 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2655 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2656 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2657 to work with the new engine framework.
2658 [Richard Levitte]
2659
2660 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2661 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2662 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2663
2664 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2665 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2666
2667 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2668 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2669 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2670 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2671 FORMAT_IISSGC.
2672 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2673
2674 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2675 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2676
2677 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2678 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2679
2680 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2681 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2682 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2683 [Ben Laurie]
2684
2685 *) Add new functions
2686 ERR_peek_last_error
2687 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2688 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2689 These are similar to
2690 ERR_peek_error
2691 ERR_peek_error_line
2692 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2693 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2694 still in the error queue.
2695 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2696
2697 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2698 like:
2699 default_algorithms = ALL
2700 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2701 [Steve Henson]
2702
2703 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2704 [Steve Henson]
2705
2706 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2707 [Steve Henson]
2708
2709 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2710 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2711 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2712 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2713
2714 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2715 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2716
2717 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2718 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2719
2720 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2721 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2722 [Bodo Moeller]
2723
2724 *) New functions/macros
2725
2726 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2727 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2728 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2729 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2730
2731 to request calling a callback function
2732
2733 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2734 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2735
2736 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2737 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2738 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2739 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2740 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2741 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2742 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2743 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2744 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2745 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2746
2747 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2748 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2749 [Bodo Moeller]
2750
2751 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2752 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2753 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2754 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2755 the configuration scripts.
2756
2757 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2758 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2759 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2760
2761 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2762 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2763
2764 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2765 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2766 when reusing an existing buffer.
2767 [Bodo Moeller]
2768
2769 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2770 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2771 [Steve Henson]
2772
2773 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2774 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2775 [Ben Laurie]
2776
2777 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2778 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2779 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2780 has the same effect.
2781 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2782
2783 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2784 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2785 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2786 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2787 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2788 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2789 exception.
2790
2791 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2792 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2793 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2794 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2795
2796 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2797 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2798 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2799 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2800
2801 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2802 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2803 won't work.
2804
2805 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2806 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2807 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2808 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2809 default), and then completely removed.
2810 [Richard Levitte]
2811
2812 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2813 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2814 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2815 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2816 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2817 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2818 particular extension is supported.
2819 [Steve Henson]
2820
2821 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2822 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2823 [Steve Henson]
2824
2825 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2826 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2827 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2828 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2829 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2830 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2831 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2832 requires the destination to be valid.
2833
2834 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2835 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2836 [Steve Henson]
2837
2838 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2839 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2840 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2841 [Bodo Moeller]
2842
2843 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2844 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2845
2846 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2847 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2848 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2849 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2850 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2851 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2852 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2853 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2854 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2855 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2856 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2857 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2858 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2859 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2860 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2861 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2862 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2863 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2864 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2865 the new code.
2866 [Geoff Thorpe]
2867
2868 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2869 [Steve Henson]
2870
2871 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2872 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2873 become part of libeay.num as well.
2874 [Richard Levitte]
2875
2876 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2877 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2878 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2879 false once a handshake has been completed.
2880 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2881 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2882 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2883 client has followed the request.)
2884 [Bodo Moeller]
2885
2886 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2887 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2888 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2889 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2890
2891 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2892 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2893 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2894 [Bodo Moeller]
2895
2896 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2897 [Steve Henson]
2898
2899 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2900 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2901 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2902 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2903
2904 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2905 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2906 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2907
2908 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2909 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2910 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2911 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2912 [Geoff Thorpe]
2913
2914 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2915 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2916 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2917 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2918 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2919 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2920 [Geoff Thorpe]
2921
2922 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2923 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2924 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2925 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2926 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2927 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2928 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2929 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2930 [Geoff Thorpe]
2931
2932 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2933 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2934 [Geoff Thorpe]
2935
2936 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2937 [Ben Laurie]
2938
2939 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2940 md_data void pointer.
2941 [Ben Laurie]
2942
2943 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2944 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2945 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2946 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2947 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2948 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2949 [Ben Laurie]
2950
2951 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2952 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2953 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2954 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2955 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2956 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2957 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2958 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2959 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2960 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2961 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2962 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2963 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2964 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2965 rather than letting it slide.
2966
2967 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2968 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2969 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2970 [Geoff Thorpe]
2971
2972 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2973 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2974 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2975 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2976 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2977 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2978 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2979 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2980 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2981 [Geoff Thorpe]
2982
2983 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2984 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2985 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2986 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2987 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2988
2989 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2990 [Geoff Thorpe]
2991
2992 *) Add EVP test program.
2993 [Ben Laurie]
2994
2995 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2996 [Ben Laurie]
2997
2998 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2999 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3000 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3001 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3002 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3003 [Steve Henson]
3004
3005 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3006 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3007 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3008 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3009 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3010 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3011 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3012
3013 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3014 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3015 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3016 Usage example:
3017
3018 EVP_MD_CTX md;
3019
3020 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3021 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3022 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3023 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3024 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3025
3026 [Ben Laurie]
3027
3028 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3029 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3030 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3031 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3032 anyway): E.g.,
3033
3034 des_key_schedule ks;
3035
3036 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3037 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3038
3039 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3040 [Ben Laurie]
3041
3042 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3043 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3044 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3045 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3046 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3047 functions prevents this.
3048 [Steve Henson]
3049
3050 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3051 [Ben Laurie]
3052
3053 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3054 correct _ecb suffix.
3055 [Ben Laurie]
3056
3057 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3058 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3059 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3060 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3061 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3062 [Steve Henson]
3063
3064 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3065 [Richard Levitte]
3066
3067 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3068 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3069 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3070 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3071
3072 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3073 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3074
3075 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3076 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3077 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3078 via Richard Levitte]
3079
3080 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3081 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3082 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3083 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3084 [Geoff Thorpe]
3085
3086 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3087 Before:
3088 encrypt
3089 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3090 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
3091 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
3092 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
3093 decrypt
3094 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
3095 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
3096 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
3097 After:
3098 encrypt
3099 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
3100 decrypt
3101 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
3102 [Ben Laurie]
3103
3104 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3105 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3106
3107 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3108 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3109 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3110 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3111 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3112 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3113 [Steve Henson]
3114
3115 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3116 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3117 [Richard Levitte]
3118
3119 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3120 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3121 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3122 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3123
3124 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3125 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3126 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3127 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3128 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3129 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3130 callback.
3131 [Richard Levitte]
3132
3133 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3134 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3135 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3136 and interrupts/cancellations.
3137 [Richard Levitte]
3138
3139 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3140 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3141 [Steve Henson]
3142
3143 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3144 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3145 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3146
3147 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3148 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3149 kind of callback.
3150 [Richard Levitte]
3151
3152 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3153 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3154 than this minimum value is recommended.
3155 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3156
3157 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3158 that are easily reachable.
3159 [Richard Levitte]
3160
3161 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3162 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3163
3164 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3165
3166 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3167 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3168 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3169 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3170 [Steve Henson]
3171
3172 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3173 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3174 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3175 [Steve Henson]
3176
3177 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3178 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3179 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3180 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3181 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3182 internally such as S/MIME.
3183
3184 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3185 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3186 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3187
3188 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3189 applications.
3190 [Steve Henson]
3191
3192 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3193 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3194 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3195 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3196
3197 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3198
3199 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3200
3201 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3202 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3203 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3204 handling.
3205 [Steve Henson]
3206
3207 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3208 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3209 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3210 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3211 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3212 a window system and the like.
3213 [Richard Levitte]
3214
3215 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3216 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3217 [Geoff]
3218
3219 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3220 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3221 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3222 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3223 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3224 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3225 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3226 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3227 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3228 ENGINE structure.
3229 [Geoff]
3230
3231 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3232 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3233 tag cache.
3234 [Steve Henson]
3235
3236 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3237 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3238 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3239 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3240 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3241 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3242 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3243 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3244 [Geoff]
3245
3246 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3247 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3248 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3249 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3250 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3251 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3252 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3253 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3254 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3255 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3256 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3257 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3258 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3259 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3260 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3261 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3262 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3263 [Geoff]
3264
3265 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3266 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3267 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3268 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3269 internal engine_int.h header.
3270 [Geoff]
3271
3272 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3273 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3274 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3275 modify their own ones).
3276 [Geoff]
3277
3278 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3279 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3280 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3281 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3282 later on via ctrl() commands.
3283 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3284 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3285 structural references.
3286 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3287 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3288 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3289 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3290 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3291 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3292 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3293 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3294 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3295 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3296 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3297 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3298 [Geoff]
3299
3300 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3301 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3302 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3303 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3304 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3305 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3306 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3307 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3308 [Bodo Moeller]
3309
3310 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3311 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3312 [Steve Henson]
3313
3314 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3315 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3316 [Steve Henson]
3317
3318 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3319 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3320 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3321 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3322 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3323 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3324 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3325 [Steve Henson]
3326
3327 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3328 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3329 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3330 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3331 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3332
3333 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3334 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3335 generator).
3336 [Bodo Moeller]
3337
3338 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3339
3340 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3341 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3342 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3343
3344 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3345 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3346
3347 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3348 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3349 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3350
3351 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3352 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3353
3354 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3355 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3356
3357 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3358
3359 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3360 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3361 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3362 [Bodo Moeller]
3363
3364 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3365 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3366 [Richard Levitte]
3367
3368 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3369 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3370 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3371 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3372 is 40 of more characters long.
3373 [Steve Henson]
3374
3375 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3376 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3377 pointers.
3378 [Steve Henson]
3379
3380 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3381 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3382 [Bodo Moeller]
3383
3384 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3385 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3386 might.
3387 [Steve Henson]
3388
3389 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3390
3391 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3392 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3393
3394 ASN1 error codes
3395 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3396 ...
3397 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3398 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3399 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3400 ...
3401 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3402 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3403
3404 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3405 [Bodo Moeller]
3406
3407 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3408 suffices.
3409 [Bodo Moeller]
3410
3411 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3412 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3413 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3414 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3415 and
3416 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3417
3418 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3419 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3420
3421 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3422 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3423 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3424 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3425 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3426 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3427
3428 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3429 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3430
3431 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3432 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3433
3434 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3435 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3436
3437 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3438 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3439 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3440 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3441
3442 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3443 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3444
3445 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3446 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3447
3448 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3449 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3450 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3451 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3452 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3453 [Richard Levitte]
3454
3455 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3456 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3457 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3458 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3459 [Steve Henson]
3460
3461 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3462 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3463 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3464 trust settings.
3465 [Steve Henson]
3466
3467 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3468 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3469 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3470 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3471 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3472 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3473 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3474 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3475 ocsp utility.
3476 [Steve Henson]
3477
3478 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3479 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3480 [Steve Henson]
3481
3482 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3483 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3484 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3485 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3486 [Steve Henson]
3487
3488 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3489 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3490 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3491 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3492 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3493 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3494 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3495 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3496 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3497 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3498 [Steve Henson]
3499
3500 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3501 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3502 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3503 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3504 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3505 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3506 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3507 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3508
3509 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3510 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3511 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3512 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3513 [Richard Levitte]
3514
3515 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3516 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3517 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3518 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3519 opensslconf.h.
3520 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3521 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3522 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3523 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3524 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3525 what is available.
3526 [Richard Levitte]
3527
3528 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3529 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3530 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3531 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3532 auto incremented.
3533 [Steve Henson]
3534
3535 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3536 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3537 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3538 [Steve Henson]
3539
3540 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3541 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3542 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3543 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3544 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3545 [Steve Henson]
3546
3547 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3548 [Steve Henson]
3549
3550 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3551 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3552 option to ocsp utility.
3553 [Steve Henson]
3554
3555 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3556 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3557 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3558 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3559 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3560 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3561 the request is nonce-less.
3562 [Steve Henson]
3563
3564 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3565 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3566 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3567 [Bodo Moeller]
3568
3569 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3570 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3571 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3572 [Steve Henson]
3573
3574 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3575 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3576 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3577 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3578 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3579 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3580
3581 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3582 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3583 appear to exist.
3584 [Steve Henson]
3585
3586 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3587 additional certificates supplied.
3588 [Steve Henson]
3589
3590 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3591 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3592 signature against.
3593 [Richard Levitte]
3594
3595 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3596 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3597 AES OIDs.
3598
3599 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3600 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3601 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3602 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3603 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3604 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3605 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3606 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3607 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3608
3609 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3610 request to response.
3611 [Steve Henson]
3612
3613 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3614 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3615 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3616 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3617 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3618 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3619 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3620 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3621 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3622 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3623 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3624 [Steve Henson]
3625
3626 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3627 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3628 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3629 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3630 [Steve Henson]
3631
3632 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3633 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3634
3635 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3636 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3637 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3638 [Steve Henson]
3639
3640 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3641 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3642 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3643 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3644 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3645
3646 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3647 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3648 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3649 [Steve Henson]
3650
3651 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3652 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3653 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3654 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3655 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3656 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3657 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3658 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3659
3660 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3661 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3662 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3663 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3664 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3665 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3666 [Steve Henson]
3667
3668 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3669 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3670 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3671 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3672 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3673 printout format cleaned up.
3674 [Steve Henson]
3675
3676 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3677 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3678 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3679 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3680 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3681 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3682 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3683 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3684 [Steve Henson]
3685
3686 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3687 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3688 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3689 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3690 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3691 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3692 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3693 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3694 [Steve Henson]
3695
3696 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3697 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3698 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3699 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3700 section to use.
3701 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3702
3703 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3704 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3705 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3706 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3707 [Steve Henson]
3708
3709 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3710 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3711 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3712 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3713 in the index file.
3714 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3715
3716 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3717 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3718 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3719 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3720
3721 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3722 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3723
3724 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3725 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3726 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3727 [Steve Henson]
3728
3729 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3730 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3731 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3732 [Bodo Moeller]
3733
3734 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3735 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3736 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3737 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3738 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3739 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3740 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3741 functions are provided:
3742
3743 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3744 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3745 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3746 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3747
3748 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3749 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3750 extended allocation function is enabled.
3751 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3752 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3753 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3754
3755 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3756 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3757 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3758 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3759 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3760 [Geoff Thorpe]
3761
3762 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3763 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3764 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3765 be queried.
3766 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3767 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3768 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3769 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3770
3771 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3772 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3773 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3774 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3775 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3776 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3777 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3778 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3779 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3780 [Richard Levitte]
3781
3782 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3783 provide utility functions which an application needing
3784 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3785 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3786 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3787
3788 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3789 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3790 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3791 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3792 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3793 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3794 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3795 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3796 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3797
3798 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3799 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3800 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3801 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3802 [Steve Henson]
3803
3804 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3805 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3806 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3807 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3808 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3809 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3810 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3811 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3812 will be added elsewhere.
3813 [Steve Henson]
3814
3815 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3816 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3817 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3818 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3819 [Steve Henson]
3820
3821 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3822 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3823 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3824 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3825 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3826 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3827 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3828 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3829 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3830 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3831 to produce the required SET OF.
3832 [Steve Henson]
3833
3834 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3835 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3836 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3837 [Richard Levitte]
3838
3839 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3840 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3841 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3842 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3843 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3844 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3845 [Steve Henson]
3846
3847 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3848 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3849 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3850 [Steve Henson]
3851
3852 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3853 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3854 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3855 [Richard Levitte]
3856
3857 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3858 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3859 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3860 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3861 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3862 [Steve Henson]
3863
3864 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3865 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3866 [Steve Henson]
3867
3868 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3869 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3870 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3871 certifcates and CRLs.
3872 [Steve Henson]
3873
3874 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3875 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3876 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3877 [Steve Henson]
3878
3879 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3880 entries for variables.
3881 [Steve Henson]
3882
3883 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3884 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3885 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3886 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3887 [Bodo Moeller]
3888
3889 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3890 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3891 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3892 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3893 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3894 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3895 [Bodo Moeller]
3896
3897 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3898 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3899
3900 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3901 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3902 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3903 [Steve Henson]
3904
3905 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3906 print routines.
3907 [Steve Henson]
3908
3909 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3910 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3911 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3912 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3913 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3914 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3915 [Steve Henson]
3916
3917 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3918 [Steve Henson]
3919
3920 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3921 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3922 for now but they will eventually go away.
3923 [Steve Henson]
3924
3925 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3926 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3927 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3928 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3929 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3930 has also been converted to the new form.
3931 [Steve Henson]
3932
3933 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3934 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3935 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3936 for negative moduli.
3937 [Bodo Moeller]
3938
3939 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3940 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3941 [Bodo Moeller]
3942
3943 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3944 set.
3945 [Bodo Moeller]
3946
3947 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3948 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3949 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3950 type-specific callbacks.
3951 [Geoff Thorpe]
3952
3953 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3954 RFC 2712.
3955 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3956 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3957
3958 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3959 in sections depending on the subject.
3960 [Richard Levitte]
3961
3962 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3963 Windows.
3964 [Richard Levitte]
3965
3966 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3967 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3968 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3969 be handled deterministically).
3970 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3971
3972 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3973 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3974 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3975 [Bodo Moeller]
3976
3977 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3978 [Bodo Moeller]
3979
3980 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3981 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3982 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3983 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3984 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3985 [Bodo Moeller]
3986
3987 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3988 sign of the number in question.
3989
3990 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3991
3992 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3993 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3994 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3995 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3996 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3997 [Bodo Moeller]
3998
3999 *) New function BN_swap.
4000 [Bodo Moeller]
4001
4002 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4003 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4004 results on negative inputs.
4005 [Bodo Moeller]
4006
4007 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4008 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4009 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4010 [Bodo Moeller]
4011
4012 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4013 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4014 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4015 and add new functions:
4016
4017 BN_nnmod
4018 BN_mod_sqr
4019 BN_mod_add
4020 BN_mod_add_quick
4021 BN_mod_sub
4022 BN_mod_sub_quick
4023 BN_mod_lshift1
4024 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4025 BN_mod_lshift
4026 BN_mod_lshift_quick
4027
4028 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4029
4030 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4031 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4032
4033 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4034 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4035 be reduced modulo m.
4036 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4037
4038 #if 0
4039 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4040 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4041 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4042
4043 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4044 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4045 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4046 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4047 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4048 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4049 differing sizes.
4050 [Richard Levitte]
4051 #endif
4052
4053 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4054 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4055 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4056 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4057 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4058
4059 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4060 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4061 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4062 cause any problems.
4063 [Bodo Moeller]
4064
4065 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4066 [Richard Levitte]
4067
4068 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4069 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4070 [Richard Levitte]
4071
4072 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4073 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4074 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4075 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4076 time)
4077 [Richard Levitte]
4078
4079 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4080 [Richard Levitte]
4081
4082 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4083 [Richard Levitte]
4084
4085 *) Add the following functions:
4086
4087 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4088 ENGINE_load_chil()
4089 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4090 ENGINE_load_nuron()
4091 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4092
4093 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4094 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4095 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4096 libraries unless it's really needed.
4097
4098 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4099 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4100 declarations (they differed!).
4101 [Richard Levitte]
4102
4103 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4104 [Richard Levitte]
4105
4106 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4107 [Richard Levitte]
4108
4109 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4110 [Bodo Moeller]
4111
4112 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4113 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4114 [Richard Levitte]
4115
4116 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4117 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4118 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4119
4120 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4121 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4122 [Richard Levitte]
4123
4124 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4125 [Richard Levitte]
4126
4127 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4128 [Richard Levitte]
4129
4130 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4131 [Ben Laurie]
4132
4133 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4134 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4135 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4136
4137 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4138 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4139 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4140 different shared library filenames on each system.
4141 [Geoff Thorpe]
4142
4143 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4144 [Richard Levitte]
4145
4146 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4147 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4148 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4149 of two sections.
4150 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4151
4152 *) NCONF changes.
4153 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4154 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4155 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4156 binary backward compatibility.
4157 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4158 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4159 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4160 LDAP server.
4161 [Richard Levitte]
4162
4163 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4164 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4165 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4166 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4167 this case.
4168 [Steve Henson]
4169
4170 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4171 [Ben Laurie]
4172
4173 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4174 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4175 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4176 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4177 set.
4178 [Steve Henson]
4179
4180 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4181 [Richard Levitte]
4182
4183 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4184
4185 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4186 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4187 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4188
4189 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4190
4191 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4192
4193 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4194 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4195 [Steve Henson]
4196
4197 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4198
4199 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4200
4201 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4202 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4203
4204 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4205 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4206
4207 [Steve Henson]
4208
4209 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4210 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4211 specifications.
4212 [Steve Henson]
4213
4214 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4215 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4216 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4217 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4218
4219 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4220 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4221 [Richard Levitte]
4222
4223 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4224
4225 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4226 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4227 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4228 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4229 [Bodo Moeller]
4230
4231 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4232 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4233 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4234 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4235 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4236
4237 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4238 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4239 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4240 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4241 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4242 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4243 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4244 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4245 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4246 [Bodo Moeller]
4247
4248 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4249
4250 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4251 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4252 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4253 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4254 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4255
4256 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4257 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4258 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4259
4260 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4261
4262 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4263 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4264 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4265 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4266 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4267 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4268 [Geoff Thorpe]
4269
4270 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4271 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4272 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4273 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4274 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4275 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4276
4277 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4278 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4279 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4280
4281 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4282 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4283 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4284 EVP_cleanup().
4285 [Richard Levitte]
4286
4287 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4288 being properly terminated.
4289 [Richard Levitte]
4290
4291 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4292 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4293 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4294 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4295
4296 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4297 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4298 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4299 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4300 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4301 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4302 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4303 change.
4304 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4305
4306 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4307 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4308 [Bodo Moeller]
4309
4310 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4311 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4312 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4313 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4314 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4315 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4316 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4317 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4318
4319 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4320 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4321 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4322 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4323 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4324
4325 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4326 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4327 [Steve Henson]
4328
4329 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4330
4331 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4332 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4333 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4334
4335 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4336
4337 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4338 and get fix the header length calculation.
4339 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4340 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4341 Steve Henson]
4342
4343 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4344 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4345 assertions could call abort()).
4346 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4347
4348 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4349
4350 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4351 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4352 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4353 supplied buffer.
4354 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4355
4356 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4357 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4358 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4359 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4360
4361 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4362 [Nils Larsch]
4363
4364 *) New option
4365 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4366 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4367 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4368
4369 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4370 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4371 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4372 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4373 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4374 applications.
4375 [Bodo Moeller]
4376
4377 *) Changes in security patch:
4378
4379 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4380 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4381 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4382 F30602-01-2-0537.
4383
4384 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4385 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4386 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4387 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4388 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4389
4390 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4391 happen in practice.
4392 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4393
4394 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4395 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4396 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4397
4398 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4399 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4400 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4401
4402 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4403 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4404 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4405
4406 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4407
4408 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4409 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4410 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4411
4412 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4413 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4414
4415 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4416 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4417 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4418 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4419 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4420 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4421 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4422
4423 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4424 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4425 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4426 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4427 [Bodo Moeller]
4428
4429 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4430 [Bodo Moeller]
4431
4432 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4433 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4434 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4435 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4436 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4437 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4438
4439 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4440 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4441 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4442 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4443 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4444 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4445
4446 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4447 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4448 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4449 BN_generate_prime().)
4450
4451 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4452 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4453 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4454 better.
4455 [Bodo Moeller]
4456
4457 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4458 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4459 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4460
4461 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4462 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4463 when using non-blocking I/O.
4464 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4465
4466 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4467 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4468
4469 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4470 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4471 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4472
4473 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4474 configuration for the versions before that.
4475 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4476
4477 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4478 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4479 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4480 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4481 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4482
4483 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4484 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4485 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4486 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4487
4488 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4489 value is 0.
4490 [Richard Levitte]
4491
4492 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4493 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4494 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4495
4496 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4497 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4498
4499 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4500 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4501 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4502 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4503 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4504 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4505 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4506 session cache.
4507
4508 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4509 using a local variable.
4510 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4511
4512 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4513 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4514 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4515
4516 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4517 [Richard Levitte]
4518
4519 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4520 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4521
4522 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4523 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4524 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4525
4526 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4527
4528 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4529 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4530 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4531 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4532 [Bodo Moeller]
4533
4534 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4535 present.
4536 [Steve Henson]
4537
4538 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4539 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4540 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4541 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4542 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4543
4544 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4545 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4546 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4547
4548 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4549 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4550 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4551
4552 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4553 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4554 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4555 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4556
4557 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4558 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4559 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4560 modules).
4561 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4562
4563 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4564 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4565 from 0.9.7.
4566 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4567
4568 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4569 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4570 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4571 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4572
4573 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4574 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4575 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4576 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4577
4578 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4579 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4580
4581 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4582 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4583 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4584 [Bodo Moeller]
4585
4586 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4587 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4588 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4589 become invalid.
4590 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4591
4592 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4593 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4594 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4595 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4596 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4597 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4598 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4599 [Bodo Moeller]
4600
4601 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4602 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4603 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4604 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4605
4606 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4607 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4608 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4609 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4610 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4611 the client will at least see that alert.
4612 [Bodo Moeller]
4613
4614 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4615 correctly.
4616 [Bodo Moeller]
4617
4618 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4619 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4620 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4621
4622 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4623 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4624 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4625 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4626 HelloRequest.
4627
4628 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4629 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4630 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4631
4632 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4633 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4634 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4635 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4636 may leak via logfiles.)
4637
4638 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4639 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4640 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4641 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4642 the legal range.
4643 [Bodo Moeller]
4644
4645 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4646 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4647 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4648
4649 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4650 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4651 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4652 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4653 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4654 [Bodo Moeller]
4655
4656 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4657 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4658
4659 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4660 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4661 followed by modular reduction.
4662 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4663
4664 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4665 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4666 [Bodo Moeller]
4667
4668 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4669 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4670 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4671 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4672 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4673
4674 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4675 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4676
4677 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4678 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4679 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4680
4681 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4682 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4683 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4684 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4685 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4686 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4687 automatically.
4688 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4689
4690 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4691 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4692 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4693 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4694 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4695
4696 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4697 [Andy Polyakov]
4698
4699 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4700 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4701 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4702 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4703 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4704 to allow the necessary settings.
4705 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4706
4707 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4708 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4709 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4710 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4711 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4712
4713 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4714 dh->length and always used
4715
4716 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4717
4718 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4719 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4720 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4721 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4722 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4723 dh->length.
4724
4725 So switch back to
4726
4727 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4728
4729 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4730 otherwise.
4731 [Bodo Moeller]
4732
4733 *) In
4734
4735 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4736 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4737 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4738 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4739
4740 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4741 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4742 always reject numbers >= n.
4743 [Bodo Moeller]
4744
4745 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4746 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4747 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4748 variable) is not atomic.
4749 [Bodo Moeller]
4750
4751 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4752 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4753 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4754 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4755
4756 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4757 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4758
4759 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4760 little-endian MIPS.
4761 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4762
4763 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4764 [Richard Levitte]
4765
4766 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4767
4768 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4769 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4770 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4771 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4772 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4773 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4774 to traverse all of 'state'.
4775
4776 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4777 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4778 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4779
4780 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4781 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4782
4783 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4784 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4785 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4786 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4787 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4788 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4789 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4790 further strengthens the PRNG.
4791 [Bodo Moeller]
4792
4793 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4794 [Andy Polyakov]
4795
4796 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4797 an error message in this case.
4798 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4799
4800 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4801 [Steve Henson]
4802
4803 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4804 positive and less than q.
4805 [Bodo Moeller]
4806
4807 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4808 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4809 that itself.
4810 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4811
4812 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4813 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4814 [Bodo Moeller]
4815
4816 *) Fix OAEP check.
4817 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4818
4819 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4820 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4821 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4822 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4823 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4824 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4825 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4826 paper.)
4827
4828 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4829 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4830 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4831 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4832
4833 Both problems are now fixed.
4834 [Bodo Moeller]
4835
4836 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4837 (previously it was 1024).
4838 [Bodo Moeller]
4839
4840 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4841 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4842 [Steve Henson]
4843
4844 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4845 [Steve Henson]
4846
4847 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4848 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4849 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4850 [Steve Henson]
4851
4852 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4853 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4854 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4855 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4856 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4857 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4858 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4859 environment variables.
4860
4861 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4862 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4863 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4864 [Bodo Moeller]
4865
4866 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4867 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4868 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4869 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4870 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4871 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4872 [Bodo Moeller]
4873
4874 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4875 versions of 'test'.
4876 [Bodo Moeller]
4877
4878 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4879
4880 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4881 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4882
4883 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4884 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4885 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4886 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4887 CygWin.
4888 [Richard Levitte]
4889
4890 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4891 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4892 amount of data available.
4893 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4894 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4895
4896 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4897 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4898 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4899 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4900 [Bodo Moeller]
4901
4902 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4903 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4904 and UnixWare.
4905 [Richard Levitte]
4906
4907 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4908 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4909 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4910 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4911 [Ulf Moeller]
4912
4913 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4914 [Andy Polyakov]
4915
4916 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4917 [Richard Levitte]
4918
4919 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4920 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4921 [Steve Henson]
4922 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4923
4924 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4925 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4926 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4927 (but broken) behaviour.
4928 [Steve Henson]
4929
4930 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4931 it when found.
4932 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4933
4934 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4935 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4936 [Bodo Moeller]
4937
4938 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4939 did not exist.
4940 [Bodo Moeller]
4941
4942 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4943 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4944
4945 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4946 [Richard Levitte]
4947
4948 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4949 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4950 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4951
4952 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4953 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4954 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4955 [Steve Henson]
4956
4957 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4958 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4959 [Ulf Moeller]
4960
4961 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4962 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4963
4964 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4965
4966 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4967
4968 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4969 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4970 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4971 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4972 [Bodo Moeller]
4973
4974 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4975 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4976
4977 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4978 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4979 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4980
4981 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4982 was empty.
4983 [Steve Henson]
4984 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4985
4986 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4987 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4988 but the code is actually correct.
4989 [Steve Henson]
4990
4991 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4992 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4993 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4994 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4995 and leaves the highest bit random.
4996 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4997
4998 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4999 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5000 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5001 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5002 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5003 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5004 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5005 [Bodo Moeller]
5006
5007 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5008 [Ulf Moeller]
5009
5010 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5011 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5012 [Steve Henson]
5013
5014 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5015 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5016 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5017 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5018 headers.
5019 [Richard Levitte]
5020
5021 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5022 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5023 and break the signature.
5024 [Steve Henson]
5025 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5026
5027 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5028 DH ciphersuites.
5029 [Steve Henson]
5030
5031 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5032 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5033 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5034 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5035 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5036 [Bodo Moeller]
5037
5038 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5039 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5040
5041 *) ./config script fixes.
5042 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5043
5044 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5045 [Bodo Moeller]
5046
5047 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5048 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5049 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5050 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5051 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5052
5053 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5054 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5055 [Bodo Moeller]
5056
5057 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5058 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5059 [Steve Henson]
5060
5061 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5062 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5063 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5064 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5065
5066 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5067 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5068
5069 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5070 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5071 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5072 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5073 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5074
5075 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5076 [Bodo Moeller]
5077
5078 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5079 [Ulf Möller]
5080
5081 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5082 [Ulf Möller]
5083
5084 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5085 [Bodo Moeller]
5086
5087 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5088 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5089 [Bodo Moeller]
5090
5091 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5092 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5093 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5094 result of the server certificate verification.)
5095 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5096
5097 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5098 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5099 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5100 [Bodo Moeller]
5101
5102 *) Fix SSL_peek:
5103 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5104 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5105 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5106 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5107 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5108 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5109 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5110 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5111 [Bodo Moeller]
5112
5113 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5114 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5115 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5116 happening the other way round.
5117 [Geoff Thorpe]
5118
5119 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5120 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5121 [Bodo Moeller]
5122
5123 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5124 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5125 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5126 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5127 [Richard Levitte]
5128
5129 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5130 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5131
5132 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5133
5134 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5135 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5136 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5137 that.
5138
5139 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5140
5141 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5142
5143 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5144 static ones.
5145 [Richard Levitte]
5146
5147 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5148
5149 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5150 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5151 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5152 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5153 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5154
5155 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5156 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5157 matter what.
5158 [Richard Levitte]
5159
5160 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5161 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5162
5163 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5164
5165 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5166 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5167 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5168 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5169 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5170 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5171 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5172 by the Finished messages.
5173 [Bodo Moeller]
5174
5175 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5176 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5177
5178 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5179 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5180 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5181 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5182 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5183 appropriately.
5184 [Steve Henson]
5185
5186 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5187 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5188 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5189 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5190 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5191 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5192 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5193 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5194 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5195 together.
5196 [Steve Henson]
5197
5198 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5199 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5200 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5201 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5202
5203 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5204 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5205 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5206 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5207 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5208 the answer.
5209
5210 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5211 been tested well enough.
5212 [Richard Levitte]
5213
5214 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5215 it can return incorrect results.
5216 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5217 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5218 [Bodo Moeller]
5219
5220 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5221 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5222 include zero length content when signing messages.
5223 [Steve Henson]
5224
5225 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5226 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5227 [Bodo Möller]
5228
5229 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5230 [Richard Levitte]
5231
5232 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5233 wrong sign.
5234 [Ulf Möller]
5235
5236 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5237 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5238 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5239 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5240 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5241 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5242 [Richard Levitte]
5243
5244 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5245 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5246
5247 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5248 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5249
5250 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5251 random number < q in the DSA library.
5252 [Ulf Möller]
5253
5254 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5255 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5256 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5257 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5258 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5259 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5260 just makes things more complicated.)
5261 [Bodo Moeller]
5262
5263 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5264 from EGD.
5265 [Ben Laurie]
5266
5267 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5268 work better on such systems.
5269 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5270
5271 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5272 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5273 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5274 [Steve Henson]
5275
5276 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5277 if there was more than one signature.
5278 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5279
5280 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5281 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5282 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5283 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5284 [Richard Levitte]
5285
5286 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5287 rather than always using the current time.
5288 [Steve Henson]
5289
5290 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5291 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5292 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5293 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5294 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5295 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5296
5297 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5298 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5299
5300 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5301
5302 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5303 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5304 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5305 the same hash value.
5306
5307 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5308 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5309 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5310 with X509_STORE internally.
5311
5312 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5313 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5314
5315 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5316 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5317 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5318 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5319 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5320 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5321 entirely (maybe later...).
5322
5323 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5324
5325 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5326 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5327 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5328 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5329 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5330 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5331 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5332 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5333
5334 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5335 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5336
5337 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5338 to customise the verify behaviour.
5339 [Steve Henson]
5340
5341 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5342 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5343 [Steve Henson]
5344
5345 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5346 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5347 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5348 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5349 request is improperly encoded.
5350 [Steve Henson]
5351
5352 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5353 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5354 BIO_write(b, ...).
5355
5356 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5357 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5358
5359 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5360 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5361 words set to zero.)
5362 [Bodo Moeller]
5363
5364 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5365 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5366 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5367 [Bodo Moeller]
5368
5369 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5370 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5371 BIO/fp routines also added.
5372 [Steve Henson]
5373
5374 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5375 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5376
5377 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5378 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5379 demos/state_machine.
5380 [Ben Laurie]
5381
5382 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5383 generation and verification.
5384 [Steve Henson]
5385
5386 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5387 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5388 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5389 encode and decode it manually.
5390 [Steve Henson]
5391
5392 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5393 compile under VC++.
5394 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5395
5396 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5397 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5398 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5399 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5400
5401 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5402 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5403 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5404 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5405 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5406 [Steve Henson]
5407
5408 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5409 [Richard Levitte]
5410
5411 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5412 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5413 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5414
5415 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5416 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5417 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5418 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5419 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5420 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5421 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5422 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5423
5424 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5425 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5426
5427 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5428
5429 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5430 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5431 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5432
5433 [Richard Levitte]
5434
5435 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5436 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5437 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5438 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5439 [Richard Levitte]
5440
5441 *) MD4 implemented.
5442 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5443
5444 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5445 [Richard Levitte]
5446
5447 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5448 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5449 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5450 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5451 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5452 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5453 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5454 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5455 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5456 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5457 short or long names are found.
5458 [Steve Henson]
5459
5460 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5461 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5462
5463 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5464 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5465 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5466 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5467
5468 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5469 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5470 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5471 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5472 [Bodo Moeller]
5473
5474 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5475 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5476 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5477 [Richard Levitte]
5478
5479 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5480 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5481 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5482 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5483 to allow the various flags to be set.
5484 [Steve Henson]
5485
5486 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5487 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5488 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5489 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5490 dates to be checked.
5491 [Steve Henson]
5492
5493 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5494 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5495 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5496 [Steve Henson]
5497
5498 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5499 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5500 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5501 [Steve Henson]
5502
5503 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5504 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5505 [Bodo Moeller]
5506
5507 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5508 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5509 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5510 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5511 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5512 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5513 [Richard Levitte]
5514
5515 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5516 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5517 Random Numbers.
5518 [Ulf Möller]
5519
5520 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5521 DSA key.
5522 [Steve Henson]
5523
5524 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5525 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5526 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5527 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5528 form signing output easier to verify.
5529 [Steve Henson]
5530
5531 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5532 [Steve Henson]
5533
5534 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5535 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5536 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5537 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5538 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5539 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5540 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5541 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5542 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5543 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5544 [Steve Henson]
5545
5546 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5547
5548 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5549 the syntax given in objects.README.
5550 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5551 obj_mac.h.
5552 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5553 obj_mac.h.
5554
5555 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5556 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5557 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5558 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5559 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5560 consistent name changes.
5561 [Richard Levitte]
5562
5563 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5564 [Bodo Moeller]
5565
5566 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5567 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5568 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5569 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5570 [Richard Levitte]
5571
5572 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5573 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5574 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5575 of safestack.h .
5576 [Steve Henson]
5577
5578 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5579 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5580 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5581 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5582 [Steve Henson]
5583
5584 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5585 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5586 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5587 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5588 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5589 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5590 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5591 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5592 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5593 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5594 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5595 [Steve Henson]
5596
5597 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5598 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5599 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5600 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5601 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5602 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5603 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5604 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5605 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5606 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5607 [Steve Henson]
5608
5609 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5610 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5611 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5612 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5613
5614 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5615 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5616 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5617 omit any duplicate addresses.
5618 [Steve Henson]
5619
5620 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5621 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5622 [Bodo Moeller]
5623
5624 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5625 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5626 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5627 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5628 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5629 [Bodo Moeller]
5630
5631 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5632 software:
5633 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5634 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5635 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5636 Free => OPENSSL_free
5637 [Richard Levitte]
5638
5639 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5640 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5641 [Bodo Moeller]
5642
5643 *) CygWin32 support.
5644 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5645
5646 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5647 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5648 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5649 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5650 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5651 approach.
5652 [Geoff Thorpe]
5653
5654 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5655 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5656 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5657 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5658 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5659 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5660 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5661 [Geoff Thorpe]
5662
5663 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5664 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5665 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5666 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5667 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5668 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5669 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5670 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5671 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5672 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5673 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5674 [Bodo Moeller]
5675
5676 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5677 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5678 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5679 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5680 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5681
5682 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5683 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5684 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5685 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5686 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5687
5688 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5689 ciphers.
5690
5691 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5692 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5693 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5694 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5695
5696 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5697
5698 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5699 of macros.
5700
5701 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5702 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5703 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5704 flags.
5705
5706 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5707 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5708 any installed hardware versions can.
5709 [Steve Henson]
5710
5711 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5712 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5713 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5714 number.
5715 [Bodo Moeller]
5716
5717 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5718 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5719 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5720 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5721 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5722
5723 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5724 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5725 [Steve Henson]
5726
5727 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5728 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5729 [Richard Levitte]
5730
5731 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5732 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5733 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5734 features.
5735 [Steve Henson]
5736
5737 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5738 [Ulf Möller]
5739
5740 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5741 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5742 but no ssl client purpose.
5743 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5744
5745 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5746 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5747 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5748 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5749 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5750 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5751 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5752 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5753 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5754 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5755 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5756 [Steve Henson]
5757
5758 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5759 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5760 be obtained from the error queue.
5761 [Bodo Moeller]
5762
5763 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5764 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5765 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5766 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5767 [Bodo Moeller]
5768
5769 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5770 [Ulf Möller]
5771
5772 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5773 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5774 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5775 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5776 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5777 [Geoff Thorpe]
5778
5779 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5780 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5781 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5782 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5783 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5784 [Geoff Thorpe]
5785
5786 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5787 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5788 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5789 may not be NULL.
5790 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5791
5792 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5793 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5794 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5795 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5796 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5797 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5798 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5799 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5800 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5801 or "the configuration storage API"...
5802
5803 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5804
5805 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5806 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5807
5808 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5809
5810 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5811
5812 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5813 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5814 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5815 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5816 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5817 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5818 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5819
5820 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5821 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5822 [Richard Levitte]
5823
5824 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5825 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5826 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5827 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5828 [Bodo Moeller]
5829
5830 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5831 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5832 them in a portable way.
5833 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5834
5835 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5836
5837 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5838
5839 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5840 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5841
5842 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5843 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5844 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5845 <attili@amaxo.com>]
5846
5847 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5848 was larger than the MD block size.
5849 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5850
5851 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5852 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5853 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5854 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5855 components.
5856 [Steve Henson]
5857
5858 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5859 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5860 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5861
5862 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5863 discouraged.
5864 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5865
5866 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5867 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5868 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5869 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5870 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5871 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5872
5873 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5874 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5875
5876 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5877 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5878 [Bodo Moeller]
5879
5880 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5881 [Bodo Moeller]
5882
5883 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5884 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5885 its own key.
5886 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5887 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5888 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5889 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5890 [Bodo Moeller]
5891
5892 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5893 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5894 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5895 does not suppress any output.
5896 [Richard Levitte]
5897
5898 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5899 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5900 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5901 with all the associated security issues.
5902
5903 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5904 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5905 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5906 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5907 use the value in the default purpose.
5908 [Steve Henson]
5909
5910 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5911 and fix a memory leak.
5912 [Steve Henson]
5913
5914 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5915 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5916 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5917 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5918 [Bodo Moeller]
5919
5920 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5921 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5922 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5923 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5924 [Bodo Moeller]
5925
5926 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5927 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5928 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5929 [Bodo Moeller]
5930
5931 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5932 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5933 [Bodo Moeller]
5934
5935 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5936 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5937 which was free.
5938 [Steve Henson]
5939
5940 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5941 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5942 [Bodo Moeller]
5943
5944 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5945 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5946 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5947 [Bodo Moeller]
5948
5949 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5950 number generation fails.
5951 [Bodo Moeller]
5952
5953 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5954 [Bodo Moeller]
5955
5956 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5957 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5958
5959 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5960 [Ulf Möller]
5961
5962 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5963 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5964
5965 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5966 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5967
5968 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5969
5970 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5971 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5972 [Steve Henson]
5973
5974 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5975 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5976
5977 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5978 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5979 [Ulf Möller]
5980
5981 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5982 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5983 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5984 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5985 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5986 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5987
5988 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5989 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5990 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5991 for example.
5992 [Steve Henson]
5993
5994 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5995 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5996 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5997 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5998 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5999 counter, some don't.)
6000 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6001 counters or duplicate objects.
6002 [Steve Henson]
6003
6004 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6005 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6006 [Steve Henson]
6007
6008 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6009 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6010 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6011
6012 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6013 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6014 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6015 or -rand.
6016 [Ulf Möller]
6017
6018 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6019 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6020 [Steve Henson]
6021
6022 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6023 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6024 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6025 cipher list.
6026 [Steve Henson]
6027
6028 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6029 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6030 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6031 [Steve Henson]
6032
6033 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6034 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6035 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6036 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6037 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6038 should work without changes.
6039 [Richard Levitte]
6040
6041 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6042 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6043 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6044 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6045 must be defined. E.g.,
6046 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6047 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6048 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6049 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6050
6051 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6052 record layer.
6053 [Bodo Moeller]
6054
6055 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6056 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6057 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6058 [Steve Henson]
6059
6060 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6061 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6062 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6063 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6064 [Steve Henson]
6065
6066 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6067 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6068 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6069 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6070 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6071 is prompted for as usual.
6072 [Steve Henson]
6073
6074 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6075 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6076 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6077 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6078
6079 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6080 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6081 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6082 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6083 [Steve Henson]
6084
6085 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6086 [Andy Polyakov]
6087
6088 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6089 of seed file.
6090 [Steve Henson]
6091
6092 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6093 [Bodo Moeller]
6094
6095 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6096 [Steve Henson]
6097
6098 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6099 bits.
6100 [Ulf Möller]
6101
6102 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6103 [Ulf Möller]
6104
6105 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6106 [Andy Polyakov]
6107
6108 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6109 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6110 [Ulf Möller]
6111
6112 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6113 options to produce them.
6114 [Steve Henson]
6115
6116 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6117 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6118 [Ulf Möller]
6119
6120 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6121 for p == 0.
6122 [Ulf Möller]
6123
6124 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6125 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6126 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6127 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6128 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6129 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6130 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6131 [Steve Henson]
6132
6133 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6134 [Steve Henson]
6135
6136 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6137 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6138 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6139 [Bodo Moeller]
6140
6141 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6142 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6143
6144 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6145 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6146 [Ulf Möller]
6147
6148 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6149 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6150 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6151 has already seen).
6152 [Bodo Moeller]
6153
6154 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6155 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6156
6157 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6158 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6159 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6160 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6161 generation becomes much faster.
6162
6163 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6164 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6165 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6166 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6167 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6168 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6169 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6170 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6171 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6172 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6173 [Bodo Moeller]
6174
6175 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6176 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6177 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6178 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6179 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6180 trial division stage.
6181 [Bodo Moeller]
6182
6183 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6184 as ASN1_TIME.
6185 [Steve Henson]
6186
6187 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6188 [Steve Henson]
6189
6190 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6191 [Ulf Möller]
6192
6193 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6194 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6195 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6196 the comments.
6197 [Ulf Möller]
6198
6199 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6200 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6201 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6202 [Bodo Moeller]
6203
6204 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6205 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6206 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6207 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6208
6209 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6210 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6211 [Steve Henson]
6212
6213 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6214 [Ulf Möller]
6215
6216 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6217 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6218 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6219 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6220 [Ulf Möller]
6221
6222 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6223 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6224 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6225 [Ulf Möller]
6226
6227 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6228 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6229 (instead of parameters) in future.
6230 [Steve Henson]
6231
6232 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6233 when a new cipher list is set.
6234 [Steve Henson]
6235
6236 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6237 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6238 wrong.
6239
6240 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6241 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6242 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6243
6244 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6245 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6246 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6247 an error is flagged.
6248
6249 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6250 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6251 the readability was also increased :-)
6252 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6253
6254 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6255 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6256 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6257 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6258 as the root CA.
6259 [Steve Henson]
6260
6261 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6262 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6263 [Steve Henson]
6264
6265 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6266 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6267 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6268 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6269 instead.
6270
6271 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6272 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6273 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6274 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6275 because they handle more complex structures.)
6276 [Steve Henson]
6277
6278 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6279 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6280 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6281 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6282
6283 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6284 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6285 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6286 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6287 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6288 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6289 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6290 [Ulf Möller]
6291
6292 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6293 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6294 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6295 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6296 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6297 [Bodo Moeller]
6298
6299 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6300 [Bodo Moeller]
6301
6302 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6303 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6304 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6305 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6306 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6307 to use this.
6308
6309 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6310 code.
6311 [Steve Henson]
6312
6313 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6314 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6315 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6316 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6317 [Steve Henson]
6318
6319 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6320 [Ulf Möller]
6321
6322 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6323 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6324 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6325 international characters are used.
6326
6327 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6328 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6329 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6330 in ASN1 order.
6331 [Steve Henson]
6332
6333 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6334 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6335 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6336 request.
6337
6338 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6339 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6340 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6341 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6342 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6343 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6344
6345 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6346 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6347 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6348 be handled by the string table functions.
6349
6350 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6351 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6352 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6353 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6354 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6355 types at all.
6356 [Steve Henson]
6357
6358 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6359 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6360 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6361 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6362 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6363
6364 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6365 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6366 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6367 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6368 [Bodo Moeller]
6369
6370 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6371 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6372 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6373 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6374 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6375 SHA1.
6376 [Andy Polyakov]
6377
6378 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6379 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6380 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6381 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6382 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6383 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6384 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6385 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6386
6387 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6388 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6389 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6390 [Steve Henson]
6391
6392 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6393 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6394 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6395 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6396 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6397 support to pkcs8 application.
6398 [Steve Henson]
6399
6400 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6401 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6402 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6403 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6404 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6405 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6406 [Bodo Moeller]
6407
6408 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6409 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6410 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6411 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6412 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6413 consistency.
6414 [Bodo Moeller]
6415
6416 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6417 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6418 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6419 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6420 example.
6421 [Steve Henson]
6422
6423 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6424 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6425 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6426 and any application specific purposes.
6427
6428 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6429 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6430 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6431 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6432 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6433 if the certificate is self signed.
6434 [Steve Henson]
6435
6436 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6437 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6438 [Steve Henson]
6439
6440 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6441 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6442 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6443 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6444 [Steve Henson]
6445
6446 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6447 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6448 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6449 Update documentation.
6450 [Steve Henson]
6451
6452 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6453 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6454 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6455 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6456 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6457 [Steve Henson]
6458
6459 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6460 for details.
6461 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6462
6463 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6464 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6465 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6466 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6467 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6468 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6469 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6470 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6471 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6472 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6473
6474 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6475
6476 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6477 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6478 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6479 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6480 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6481
6482 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6483 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6484 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6485 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6486 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6487 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6488 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6489 request additional information:
6490 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6491 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6492
6493 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6494 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6495 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6496 options.
6497
6498 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6499 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6500
6501 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6502 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6503 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6504
6505 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6506 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6507
6508 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6509 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6510 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6511 algorithm.
6512 [Steve Henson]
6513
6514 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6515 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6516 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6517
6518 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6519 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6520 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6521 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6522 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6523 included in OpenSSL.
6524 [Steve Henson]
6525
6526 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6527 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6528 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6529 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6530 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6531 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6532 [Bodo Moeller]
6533
6534 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6535 PKCS12 structure.
6536 [Steve Henson]
6537
6538 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6539 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6540 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6541 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6542 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6543 structure.
6544 [Steve Henson]
6545
6546 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6547 need initialising.
6548 [Steve Henson]
6549
6550 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6551 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6552 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6553 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6554 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6555 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6556 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6557 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6558 be maintained manually.
6559
6560 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6561 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6562 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6563 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6564 work because people forget to call this function]
6565 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6566 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6567 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6568 [Steve Henson]
6569
6570 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6571 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6572 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6573 should be discouraged from doing it.
6574 [Ben Laurie]
6575
6576 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6577 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6578 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6579 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6580 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6581 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6582 [Steve Henson]
6583
6584 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6585 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6586 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6587
6588 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6589 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6590 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6591
6592 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6593 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6594 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6595 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6596 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6597 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6598
6599 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6600 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6601 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6602
6603 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6604 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6605 and vice versa.
6606
6607 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6608 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6609 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6610 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6611 [Steve Henson]
6612
6613 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6614 [Steve Henson]
6615
6616 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6617 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6618 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6619 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6620 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6621 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6622 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6623 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6624 keys so we should be OK.
6625
6626 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6627 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6628 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6629 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6630 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6631 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6632 stay in the name of compatibility.
6633
6634 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6635 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6636 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6637
6638 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6639 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6640 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6641 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6642 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6643 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6644 supplied key).
6645 [Steve Henson]
6646
6647 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6648 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6649 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6650 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6651 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6652 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6653 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6654 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6655 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6656 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6657 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6658 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6659 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6660 [Steve Henson]
6661
6662 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6663 [Steve Henson]
6664
6665 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6666 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6667 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6668 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6669 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6670 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6671 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6672 openssl verify ss.pem
6673 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6674 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6675 is OK.
6676 [Steve Henson]
6677
6678 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6679 (and add it to external session representation).
6680 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6681 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6682 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6683 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6684 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6685 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6686 security holes.
6687 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6688
6689 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6690 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6691 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6692 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6693
6694 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6695 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6696 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6697 [Steve Henson]
6698
6699 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6700 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6701 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6702 code.
6703 [Steve Henson]
6704
6705 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6706 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6707 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6708
6709 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6710 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6711 certificate auxiliary information.
6712 [Steve Henson]
6713
6714 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6715 the 'enc' command.
6716 [Steve Henson]
6717
6718 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6719 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6720 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6721 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6722 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6723 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6724 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6725 [Richard Levitte]
6726
6727 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6728 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6729 [Steve Henson]
6730
6731 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6732 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6733 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6734 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6735 [Steve Henson]
6736
6737 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6738 [Steve Henson]
6739
6740 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6741 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6742 [Steve Henson]
6743
6744 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6745 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6746 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6747 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6748 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6749 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6750 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6751 using the new 'x509' options.
6752
6753 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6754 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6755 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6756 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6757 for all purposes.
6758 [Steve Henson]
6759
6760 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6761 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6762 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6763 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6764 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6765 [Mark Cox]
6766
6767 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6768 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6769 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6770 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6771 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6772 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6773 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6774 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6775 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6776 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6777 [Steve Henson]
6778
6779 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6780 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6781 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6782 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6783 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6784 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6785 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6786 [Steve Henson]
6787
6788 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6789 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6790 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6791 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6792 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6793 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6794 openssl.cnf for more info.
6795 [Steve Henson]
6796
6797 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6798 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6799 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6800 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6801 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6802 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6803 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6804 md should be large enough anyway.
6805 [Bodo Moeller]
6806
6807 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6808 for handling the random seed file.
6809
6810 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6811 ca,
6812 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6813 s_client,
6814 s_server,
6815 x509 (when signing).
6816 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6817 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6818 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6819
6820 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6821 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6822 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6823 that support '-rand'.
6824 [Bodo Moeller]
6825
6826 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6827 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6828 [Bodo Moeller]
6829
6830 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6831 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6832 [Bill Perry]
6833
6834 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6835 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6836 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6837 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6838 is suitable.
6839 [Steve Henson]
6840
6841 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6842 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6843 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6844 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6845 [Steve Henson]
6846
6847 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6848 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6849 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6850 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6851 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6852 print out all the purposes.
6853 [Steve Henson]
6854
6855 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6856 functions.
6857 [Steve Henson]
6858
6859 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6860 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6861 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6862 single function call.
6863 [Steve Henson]
6864
6865 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6866 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6867 [Andy Polyakov]
6868
6869 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6870 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6871 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6872 [Steve Henson]
6873
6874 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6875 when producing the local key id.
6876 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6877
6878 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6879 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6880 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6881 "server.pem".
6882 [Steve Henson]
6883
6884 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6885 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6886 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6887 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6888 [Steve Henson]
6889
6890 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6891 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6892 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6893 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6894
6895 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6896 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6897 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6898 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6899
6900 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6901 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6902 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6903 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6904 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6905 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6906 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6907 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6908 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6909 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6910 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6911 trivial: move one line.
6912 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6913
6914 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6915 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6916 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6917 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6918 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6919 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6920 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6921 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6922 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6923 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6924 with an event loop for example.
6925 [Steve Henson]
6926
6927 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6928 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6929 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6930 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6931 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6932 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6933 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6934 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6935 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6936 [Steve Henson]
6937
6938 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6939 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6940 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6941 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6942 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6943 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6944 [Steve Henson]
6945
6946 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6947 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6948 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6949 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6950
6951 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6952 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6953 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6954 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6955 key generation.
6956 [Steve Henson]
6957
6958 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6959 (still largely untested)
6960 [Bodo Moeller]
6961
6962 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6963 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6964 [Steve Henson]
6965
6966 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6967 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6968 [Steve Henson]
6969
6970 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6971 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6972 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6973 [Bodo Moeller]
6974
6975 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6976 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6977 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6978 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6979 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6980 [Steve Henson]
6981
6982 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6983 [Andy Polyakov]
6984
6985 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6986 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6987 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6988 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6989 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6990 in ca.
6991 [Steve Henson]
6992
6993 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6994 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6995 1.OU="Unit name 1"
6996 2.OU="Unit name 2"
6997 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6998 [Steve Henson]
6999
7000 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7001 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7002 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7003 are otherwise ignored at present.
7004 [Steve Henson]
7005
7006 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7007 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7008 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7009 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7010 copied until the next read.
7011 [Steve Henson]
7012
7013 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7014 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7015 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7016 [Steve Henson]
7017
7018 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7019 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7020 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7021 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7022 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7023 associated functions.
7024 [Steve Henson]
7025
7026 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7027 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7028 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7029 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7030 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7031 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7032 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7033 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7034 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7035 memory BIOs.
7036 [Steve Henson]
7037
7038 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7039 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7040 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7041 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7042 [Bodo Moeller]
7043
7044 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7045 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7046 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7047 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7048 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7049 functionality.
7050 [Steve Henson]
7051
7052 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7053 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7054 under Win32.
7055 [Steve Henson]
7056
7057 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7058 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7059 extensions to be obtained and added.
7060 [Steve Henson]
7061
7062 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7063 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7064 [Bodo Moeller]
7065
7066 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7067
7068 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7069 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7070
7071 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7072 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7073
7074 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7075 program.
7076 [Steve Henson]
7077
7078 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7079 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7080 DH parameters contain its length).
7081
7082 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7083 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7084 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7085 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7086 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7087 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7088 utter importance to use
7089 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7090 or
7091 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7092 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7093 attacks may become possible!
7094 [Bodo Moeller]
7095
7096 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7097 [Bodo Moeller]
7098
7099 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7100 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7101 [Steve Henson]
7102
7103 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7104 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7105 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7106 or long name.
7107 [Steve Henson]
7108
7109 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7110 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7111 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7112 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7113 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7114 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7115 private key operations.
7116 [Steve Henson]
7117
7118 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7119 [Andy Polyakov]
7120
7121 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7122 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7123 to
7124 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7125 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7126 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7127 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7128 the password callback is called.
7129 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7130
7131 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7132
7133 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7134 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7135 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7136 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7137 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7138 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7139 this will work.
7140
7141 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7142 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7143 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7144 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7145 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7146 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7147 [Bodo Moeller]
7148
7149 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7150 [Andy Polyakov]
7151
7152 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7153 delete an unused file.
7154 [Ulf Möller]
7155
7156 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7157 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7158 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7159 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7160 [Steve Henson]
7161
7162 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7163 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7164 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7165 of an error.
7166 [Bodo Moeller]
7167
7168 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7169 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7170 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7171
7172 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7173 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7174 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7175 comparison" warnings.
7176 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7177 [Steve Henson]
7178
7179 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7180 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7181 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7182 [Steve Henson]
7183
7184 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7185 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7186
7187 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7188 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7189
7190 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7191 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7192 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7193
7194 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7195 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7196 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7197 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7198 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7199 this bug.
7200 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7201
7202 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7203 The interface is as follows:
7204 Applications can use
7205 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7206 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7207 "off" is now the default.
7208 The library internally uses
7209 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7210 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7211 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7212
7213 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7214 even the default) are now avoided.
7215
7216 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7217 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7218 than just having a counter.
7219
7220 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7221
7222 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7223 extensions.
7224 [Bodo Moeller]
7225
7226 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7227 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7228 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7229 Initial "mode" flags are:
7230
7231 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7232 a single record has been written.
7233 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7234 retries use the same buffer location.
7235 (But all of the contents must be
7236 copied!)
7237 [Bodo Moeller]
7238
7239 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7240 worked.
7241
7242 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7243 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7244
7245 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7246 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7247 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7248 [Steve Henson]
7249
7250 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7251 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7252 test programs.
7253 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7254
7255 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7256 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7257 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7258 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7259 point to the end.
7260 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7261 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7262
7263 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7264 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7265 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7266 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7267 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7268 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7269 [Steve Henson]
7270
7271 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7272 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7273 necessary function names.
7274 [Steve Henson]
7275
7276 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7277 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7278 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7279 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7280 [Bodo Moeller]
7281
7282 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7283 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7284 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7285 [Steve Henson]
7286
7287 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7288 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7289 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7290 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7291 such programs?)
7292 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7293 need locks.
7294 [Bodo Moeller]
7295
7296 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7297 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7298 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7299 [Bodo Moeller]
7300
7301 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7302 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7303 appropriate.
7304 [Bodo Moeller]
7305
7306 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7307 for the encoded length.
7308 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7309
7310 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7311 [Steve Henson]
7312
7313 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7314 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7315 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7316 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7317 [Steve Henson]
7318
7319 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7320 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7321 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7322
7323 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7324 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7325 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7326 unusual formatting.
7327 [Steve Henson]
7328
7329 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7330 to use the new extension code.
7331 [Steve Henson]
7332
7333 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7334 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7335 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7336 constant.
7337 [Steve Henson]
7338
7339 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7340 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7341 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7342 [Bodo Moeller]
7343
7344 #if 0
7345 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7346 [Ben Laurie]
7347 #else
7348 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7349 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7350 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7351 #endif
7352
7353 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7354 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7355 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7356 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7357 [Ben Laurie]
7358
7359 *) DES library cleanups.
7360 [Ulf Möller]
7361
7362 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7363 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7364 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7365 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7366 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7367 of v2.0.
7368 [Steve Henson]
7369
7370 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7371 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7372 [Bodo Moeller]
7373
7374 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7375 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7376 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7377 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7378 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7379 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7380 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7381 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7382 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7383 [Steve Henson]
7384
7385 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7386 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7387 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7388 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7389 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7390 value doesn't matter.
7391 [Steve Henson]
7392
7393 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7394 support mutable.
7395 [Ben Laurie]
7396
7397 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7398 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7399 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7400 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7401
7402 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7403 [Ulf Möller]
7404
7405 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7406 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7407 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7408
7409 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7410 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7411
7412 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7413 [Ben Laurie]
7414
7415 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7416 [Ben Laurie]
7417
7418 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7419 [Ben Laurie]
7420
7421 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7422 [Bodo Moeller]
7423
7424
7425 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7426
7427 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7428
7429 *) Updated some demos.
7430 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7431
7432 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7433 [Wu Zhigang]
7434
7435 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7436 [Steve Henson]
7437
7438 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7439 [Steve Henson]
7440
7441 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7442 instead of using a fixed path.
7443 [Bodo Moeller]
7444
7445 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7446 [Andy Polyakov]
7447
7448 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7449 [Richard Levitte]
7450
7451
7452 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7453
7454 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7455 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7456 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7457
7458 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7459 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7460 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7461 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7462 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7463 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7464 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7465 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7466 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7467 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7468 [Steve Henson]
7469
7470 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7471 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7472 [Steve Henson]
7473
7474 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7475 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7476 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7477 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7478 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7479
7480 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7481 [Bodo Moeller]
7482
7483 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7484 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7485 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7486 [Steve Henson]
7487
7488 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7489 [Ben Laurie]
7490
7491 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7492 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7493 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7494 key elements as negative integers.
7495 [Steve Henson]
7496
7497 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7498 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7499
7500 *) VMS support.
7501 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7502
7503 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7504 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7505 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7506 [Steve Henson]
7507
7508 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7509 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7510 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7511 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7512 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7513 [Bodo Moeller]
7514
7515 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7516 [Ulf Möller]
7517
7518 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7519 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7520 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7521 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7522
7523 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7524 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7525 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7526
7527 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7528 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7529 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7530 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7531 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7532 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7533 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7534 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7535 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7536
7537 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7538 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7539 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7540 does not influence s as it used to.
7541
7542 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7543 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7544 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7545 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7546 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7547 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7548 [Bodo Moeller]
7549
7550 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7551 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7552 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7553 key type.
7554 [Steve Henson]
7555
7556 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7557 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7558 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7559 and 'x509').
7560 [Steve Henson]
7561
7562 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7563 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7564 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7565 extension option.
7566 [Steve Henson]
7567
7568 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7569 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7570 [Ben Laurie]
7571
7572 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7573 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7574
7575 *) Support Mingw32.
7576 [Ulf Möller]
7577
7578 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7579 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7580
7581 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7582 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7583
7584 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7585 [Ulf Möller]
7586
7587 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7588 [Anonymous]
7589
7590 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7591 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7592
7593 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7594 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7595 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7596 DER-encoded.)
7597 [Bodo Moeller]
7598
7599 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7600 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7601 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7602 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7603 now it really counts the depth.
7604 [Bodo Moeller]
7605
7606 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7607 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7608 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7609 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7610 didn't match the private key).
7611
7612 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7613 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7614 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7615 [Bodo Moeller]
7616
7617 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7618 [Ulf Möller]
7619
7620 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7621 David Harris.
7622 [Bodo Moeller]
7623
7624 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7625 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7626 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7627 [Bodo Moeller]
7628
7629 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7630 [Bodo Moeller]
7631
7632 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7633 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7634 such as /usr/local/bin.
7635 [Bodo Moeller]
7636
7637 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7638 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7639
7640 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7641 [Ulf Möller]
7642
7643 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7644 extension adding in x509 utility.
7645 [Steve Henson]
7646
7647 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7648 [Ulf Möller]
7649
7650 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7651 prototypes.
7652 [Steve Henson]
7653
7654 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7655 [Ulf Möller]
7656
7657 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7658 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7659 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7660 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7661 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7662 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7663 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7664 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7665 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7666 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7667 [Steve Henson]
7668
7669 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7670 [Bodo Moeller]
7671
7672 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7673 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7674 [Bodo Moeller]
7675
7676 *) Fix some race conditions.
7677 [Bodo Moeller]
7678
7679 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7680 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7681 [Steve Henson]
7682
7683 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7684 [Ulf Möller]
7685
7686 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7687 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7688 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7689 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7690
7691 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7692 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7693
7694 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7695 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7696 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7697
7698 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7699 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7700
7701 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7702 [Ulf Möller]
7703
7704 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7705 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7706
7707 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7708 [Ulf Möller]
7709
7710 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7711 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7712
7713 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7714 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7715 [Steve Henson]
7716
7717 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7718 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7719 [Ben Laurie]
7720
7721 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7722 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7723 [Steve Henson]
7724
7725 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7726 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7727 [Steve Henson]
7728
7729 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7730 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7731 [Steve Henson]
7732
7733 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7734 support typesafe stack.
7735 [Steve Henson]
7736
7737 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7738 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7739
7740 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7741 old X509V3 handling code.
7742 [Steve Henson]
7743
7744 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7745 [Ulf Möller]
7746
7747 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7748 [Bodo Moeller]
7749
7750 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7751 [Ben Laurie]
7752
7753 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7754 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7755
7756 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7757 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7758 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7759 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7760 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7761 [Ben Laurie]
7762
7763 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7764 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7765 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7766 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7767 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7768
7769 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7770 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7771 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7772 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7773
7774 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7775 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7776 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7777 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7778
7779 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7780 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7781 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7782 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7783 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7784 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7785 [Bodo Moeller]
7786
7787 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7788 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7789 [Bodo Moeller]
7790
7791 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7792 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7793 [Ulf Möller]
7794
7795 *) Tweaks to Configure
7796 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7797
7798 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7799 yet...
7800 [Steve Henson]
7801
7802 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7803 [Ulf Möller]
7804
7805 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7806 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7807 [Ulf Möller]
7808
7809 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7810 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7811 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7812 [Bodo Moeller]
7813
7814 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7815 [Bodo Moeller]
7816
7817 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7818 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7819 [Steve Henson]
7820
7821 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7822 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7823 to library startup routines.
7824 [Steve Henson]
7825
7826 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7827 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7828 codes along the way.
7829 [Steve Henson]
7830
7831 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7832 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7833 objects to objects.h
7834 [Steve Henson]
7835
7836 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7837 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7838 [Steve Henson]
7839
7840 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7841 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7842
7843 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7844 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7845 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7846
7847 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7848 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7849 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7850
7851 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7852 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7853 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7854
7855
7856 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7857
7858 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7859 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7860 [Ben Laurie]
7861
7862 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7863 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7864 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7865 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7866 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7867
7868 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7869 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7870 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7871 document.
7872 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7873
7874 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7875 Malloc, Free.
7876 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7877
7878 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7879 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7880
7881 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7882 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7883 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7884 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7885
7886 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7887 [Ben Laurie]
7888
7889 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7890 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7891 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7892 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7893 [Steve Henson]
7894
7895 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7896 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7897 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7898 [Steve Henson]
7899
7900 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7901 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7902 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7903 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7904 installed as `perl').
7905 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7906
7907 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7908 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7909
7910 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7911 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7912 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7913 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7914 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7915 [Steve Henson]
7916
7917 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7918 [Ben Laurie]
7919
7920 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7921 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7922 is horrible: I feel ill....
7923 [Steve Henson]
7924
7925 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7926 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7927 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7928 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7929 [Steve Henson]
7930
7931 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7932 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7933
7934 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7935 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7936 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7937 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7938
7939 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7940 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7941 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7942 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7943 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7944 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7945 openssl_bio.xs.
7946 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7947
7948 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7949 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7950
7951 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7952 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7953
7954 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7955 [Ben Laurie]
7956
7957 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7958 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7959 in CRLs.
7960 [Steve Henson]
7961
7962 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7963 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7964 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7965 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7966 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7967 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7968 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7969 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7970 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7971 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7972 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7973
7974 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7975 [Ben Laurie]
7976
7977 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7978 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7979 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7980 for linking it into DSOs.
7981 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7982
7983 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7984 Fixed.
7985 [Ben Laurie]
7986
7987 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7988 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7989 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7990 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7991 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7992 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7993
7994 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7995 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7996 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7997 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7998 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7999 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8000 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8001
8002 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8003 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8004 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8005 encryption.
8006 [Ben Laurie]
8007
8008 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8009 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8010 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8011 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8012 [Steve Henson]
8013
8014 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8015 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8016 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8017 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8018 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8019 field as blank.
8020 [Steve Henson]
8021
8022 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8023 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8024 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8025 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8026 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8027
8028 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8029 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8030 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8031
8032 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8033 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8034
8035 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8036 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8037 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8038 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8039 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8040 [Steve Henson]
8041
8042 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8043 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8044 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8045 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8046 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8047 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8048 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8049 [Ben Laurie]
8050
8051 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8052 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
8053 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8054 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8055 [Ben Laurie]
8056
8057 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8058 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8059
8060 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8061 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8062 [Steve Henson]
8063
8064 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8065 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8066 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8067 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8068 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8069 (e.g. s_server).
8070 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8071 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8072 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8073 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8074 no way to reconfigure them.
8075 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8076 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8077 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8078 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8079 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8080 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8081
8082 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8083 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8084 recognized by the users.
8085 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8086
8087 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8088 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8089 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8090 already masked variable.
8091 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8092
8093 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8094 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8095
8096 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8097 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8098 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8099 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8100
8101 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8102 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8103 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8104
8105 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8106 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8107 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8108 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8109 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8110 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8111 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8112 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8113 now, too.
8114 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8115
8116 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8117 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8118 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8119
8120 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8121 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8122 config file.
8123 [Steve Henson]
8124
8125 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8126 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8127
8128 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8129 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8130 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8131 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8132 [Ben Laurie]
8133
8134 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8135 [Steve Henson]
8136
8137 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8138 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8139
8140 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8141 [Ben Laurie]
8142
8143 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8144 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8145 [Steve Henson]
8146
8147 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8148 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8149 [Steve Henson]
8150
8151 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8152 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8153 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8154 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8155 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8156 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8157 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8158 Ben Laurie]
8159
8160 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8161 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8162
8163 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8164 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8165 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8166 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8167 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8168
8169 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8170 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8171 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8172 [Steve Henson]
8173
8174 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8175 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8176 an example.
8177 [Steve Henson]
8178
8179 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8180 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8181 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8182
8183 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8184 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8185 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8186 build instructions.
8187 [Steve Henson]
8188
8189 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8190 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8191 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8192 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8193 [Steve Henson]
8194
8195 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8196 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8197 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8198 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8199 [Ben Laurie]
8200
8201 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8202 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8203 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8204 so it wasn't spotted.
8205 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8206
8207 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8208 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8209 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8210 vectors if you have them.
8211 [Ben Laurie]
8212
8213 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8214 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8215 [Ben Laurie]
8216
8217 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8218 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8219 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8220 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8221 If you do a:
8222 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8223 it will update them.
8224 [Steve Henson]
8225
8226 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8227 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8228 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8229 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8230 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8231 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8232 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8233 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8234
8235 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8236 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8237 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8238 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8239 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8240 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8241 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8242 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8243 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8244 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8245
8246 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8247 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8248 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8249 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8250 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8251 [Steve Henson]
8252
8253 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8254 INTEGER code.
8255 [Steve Henson]
8256
8257 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8258 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8259
8260 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8261 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8262
8263 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8264 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8265 [Ben Laurie]
8266
8267 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8268 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8269
8270 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8271 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8272
8273 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8274 [Steve Henson]
8275
8276 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8277 few typos.
8278 [Steve Henson]
8279
8280 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8281 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8282 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8283 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8284
8285 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8286 [Steve Henson]
8287
8288 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8289 [Steve Henson]
8290
8291 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8292 [Steve Henson]
8293
8294 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8295 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8296 [Steve Henson]
8297
8298 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8299 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8300 CA extensions.
8301 [Steve Henson]
8302
8303 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8304 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8305 [Steve Henson]
8306
8307 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8308 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8309 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8310 [Steve Henson]
8311
8312 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8313 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8314 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8315 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8316 properly to be processed.
8317 [Steve Henson]
8318
8319 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8320 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8321 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8322 [Ben Laurie]
8323
8324 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8325 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8326
8327 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8328 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8329 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8330 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8331 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8332 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8333 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8334 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8335 or delete all the .err files.
8336 [Steve Henson]
8337
8338 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8339 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8340 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8341 to regenerate it if needed.
8342 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8343 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8344
8345 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8346 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8347
8348 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8349 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8350 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8351 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8352 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8353 [Steve Henson]
8354
8355 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8356 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8357
8358 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8359 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8360
8361 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8362 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8363 error, but didn't set one).
8364 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8365
8366 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8367 [Ben Laurie]
8368
8369 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8370 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8371 [Steve Henson]
8372
8373 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8374 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8375
8376 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8377 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8378 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8379 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8380 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8381 OID is not part of the table.
8382 [Steve Henson]
8383
8384 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8385 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8386 [Ben Laurie]
8387
8388 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8389 [Ben Laurie]
8390
8391 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8392 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8393 was "1234").
8394 [Steve Henson]
8395
8396 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8397 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8398
8399 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8400 NULL pointers.
8401 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8402
8403 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8404 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8405
8406 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8407 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8408
8409 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8410 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8411
8412 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8413 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8414 [Ben Laurie]
8415
8416 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8417 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8418 [Steve Henson]
8419
8420 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8421 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8422
8423 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8424 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8425
8426 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8427 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8428
8429 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8430 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8431
8432 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8433 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8434 unused in the certificate verification process.
8435 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8436
8437 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8438 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8439 [Steve Henson]
8440
8441 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8442 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8443 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8444
8445 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8446 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8447 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8448 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8449 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8450
8451 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8452 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8453 [Steve Henson]
8454
8455 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8456 [Steve Henson]
8457
8458 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8459 [Paul Sutton]
8460
8461 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8462 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8463
8464 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8465 [Ben Laurie]
8466
8467 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8468 [Ben Laurie]
8469
8470 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8471 [Ben Laurie]
8472
8473 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8474 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8475 other error libraries.
8476 [Steve Henson]
8477
8478 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8479 [Steve Henson]
8480
8481 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8482 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8483 be read in.
8484 [Steve Henson]
8485
8486 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8487 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8488 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8489 the new set of documenation files.
8490 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8491
8492 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8493 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8494 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8495 number of arguments.
8496 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8497
8498 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8499 [Ben Laurie]
8500
8501 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8502 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8503 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8504
8505 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8506 [Ben Laurie]
8507
8508 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8509 nextstep
8510 ncr-scde
8511 unixware-2.0
8512 unixware-2.0-pentium
8513 sco5-cc.
8514 [Ben Laurie]
8515
8516 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8517 before they are needed.
8518 [Ben Laurie]
8519
8520 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8521 [Ben Laurie]
8522
8523
8524 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8525
8526 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8527 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8528 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8529
8530 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8531 [Paul Sutton]
8532
8533 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8534 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8535 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8536
8537 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8538 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8539 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8540
8541 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8542 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8543 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8544
8545 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8546 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8547
8548 *) Updated the README file.
8549 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8550
8551 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8552 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8553 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8554
8555 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8556 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8557 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8558
8559 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8560 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8561 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8562 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8563 o removed obsolete TODO file
8564 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8565 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8566
8567 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8568 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8569 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8570 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8571 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8572 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8573 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8574
8575 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8576 [Mark J. Cox]
8577
8578 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8579 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8580 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8581 summer 1998.
8582 [The OpenSSL Project]
8583
8584
8585 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8586
8587 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8588 [Eric A. Young]
8589
8590 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8591 [Eric A. Young]
8592
8593 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8594 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8595 [Eric A. Young]
8596
8597 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8598 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8599 available).
8600 [Eric A. Young]
8601
8602 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8603 binary structures
8604 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8605
8606 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8607 [Eric A. Young]
8608
8609 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8610 [Eric A. Young]
8611
8612 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8613 [Eric A. Young]
8614
8615 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8616 [Eric A. Young]
8617
8618 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8619 [Eric A. Young]
8620
8621 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8622 [Eric A. Young]
8623
8624 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8625 [Eric A. Young]
8626
8627 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8628 [Eric A. Young]
8629
8630 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8631 [Eric A. Young]
8632
8633 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8634 [Eric A. Young]
8635
8636 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8637 [Eric A. Young]
8638
8639 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8640 [Eric A. Young]
8641
8642 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
