10 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
13 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
14 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
15 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
16 [Richard Levitte]
17
18 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
19 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
20 [Andy Polyakov]
21
22 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
23 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulas from
24 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
25 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
26 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
27
28 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
29 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
30 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
31 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
32 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
33 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
34
35 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
36 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
37 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
38 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
39 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
40 [Paul Dale]
41
42 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
43 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
44 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
45 authors.
46 [Matt Caswell]
47
48 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
49 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
50 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
51 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
52 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
53 multi-version installation is managed.
54 [Andy Polyakov]
55
56 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
57 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
58 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
59 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
60 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
61 [Billy Bob Brumley]
62
63 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
64 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
65 chosen point SCA attacks.
66 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
67
68 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
69 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
70 [Matt Caswell]
71
72 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
73 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
74 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
75 [Matt Caswell]
76
77 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
78 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
79 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
80 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
81 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
82 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
83 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
84 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
85 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
86 [Kurt Roeckx]
87
88 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
89 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
90 [Richard Levitte]
91
92 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
93 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
94 [Billy Bob Brumley]
95
96 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
97 binary and prime elliptic curves.
98 [Billy Bob Brumley]
99
100 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
101 constant time fixed point multiplication.
102 [Billy Bob Brumley]
103
104 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
105 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
106 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
107 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
108 ECDH derive operations).
109 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
110 Sohaib ul Hassan]
111
112 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
113 [Rich Salz]
114
115 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
116 randomness from the system.
117 [Matthias St. Pierre]
118
119 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
120 [Richard Levitte]
121
122 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
123 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
124 [Matt Caswell]
125
126 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
127 [Matt Caswell]
128
129 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
130 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
131
132 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
133 [Richard Levitte]
134
135 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
136 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
137 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
138 [Matt Caswell]
139
140 *) Memory allocation failures consistenly add an error to the error
141 stack.
142 [Rich Salz]
143
144 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
145 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
146 [Bernd Edlinger]
147
148 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
149 [Matt Caswell]
150
151 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
152 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
153 [Matthias St. Pierre]
154
155 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
156 for the license change).
157 [Rich Salz]
158
159 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
160 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
161 [Matt Caswell]
162
163 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
164 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
165 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
166 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
167 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
168 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
169 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
170 [Matt Caswell]
171
172 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
173 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
174 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
175 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
176 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
177 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
178 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
179 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
180 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
181 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
182 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
183 written to stderr.
184 [Viktor Dukhovni]
185
186 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
187 Mike Hamburg.
188 [Matt Caswell]
189
190 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
191 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
192 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
193 get the search data out of them.
194 [Richard Levitte]
195
196 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
197 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
198 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
199 https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2018/02/08/tlsv1.3/
200
201 NOTE: In this pre-release of OpenSSL a draft version of the
202 TLSv1.3 standard has been implemented. Implementations of different draft
203 versions of the standard do not inter-operate, and this version will not
204 inter-operate with an implementation of the final standard when it is
205 eventually published. Different pre-release versions may implement
206 different versions of the draft. The final version of OpenSSL 1.1.1 will
207 implement the final version of the standard.
208 TODO(TLS1.3): Remove the above note before final release
209 [Matt Caswell]
210
211 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
212
213 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
214 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
215 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
216 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
217 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
218 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
219
220 Some of its new features are:
221 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
222 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
223 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
224 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
225 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
226 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
227 operation
228 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
229
230 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
231 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
232 to display all sorts of configuration data.
233 [Richard Levitte]
234
235 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
236 [Richard Levitte]
237
238 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
239 [Paul Dale]
240
241 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
242 now been removed.
243 [Rich Salz]
244
245 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
246 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
247 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
248 debug (or make silent).
249 [Richard Levitte]
250
251 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
252 arguments to config / Configure.
253 [Richard Levitte]
254
255 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
256 [Paul Yang]
257
258 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
259 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
260 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
261 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
262
263 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
264 as documented in RFC6066.
265 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
266 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
267
268 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
269 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
270 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
271 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
272
273 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
274 original author does not agree with the license change.
275 [Rich Salz]
276
277 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
278 [Jon Spillett]
279
280 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
281 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
282 [Rich Salz]
283
284 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
285 without clearing the errors.
286 [Richard Levitte]
287
288 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
289 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
290 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
291 [Rich Salz]
292
293 *) Add SHA3.
294 [Andy Polyakov]
295
296 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
297 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
298 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
299 as a fallback).
300
301 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
302 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
303 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
304 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
305 [Richard Levitte]
306
307 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
308 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
309 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
310 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
311 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
312 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
313 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
314 [Richard Levitte]
315
316 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
317 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
318 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
319 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
320 [Richard Levitte]
321
322 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
323 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
324 error code calls like this:
325
326 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
327
328 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
329 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
330 affect new modules.
331 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
332
333 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
334 [Rich Salz]
335
336 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
337 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
338 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
339 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
340 [Richard Levitte]
341
342 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
343 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
344 than just the call where this user data is passed.
345 [Richard Levitte]
346
347 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
348 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
349 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
350
351 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
352 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
353 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
354 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
355 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
356 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
357 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
358 issues.
359 [Matt Caswell]
360
361 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
362 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
363 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
364 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
365 [Richard Levitte]
366
367 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
368 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
369 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
370
371 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
372 does for RSA, etc.
373 [Richard Levitte]
374
375 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
376 platform rather than 'mingw'.
377 [Richard Levitte]
378
379 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
380 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
381 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
382 certificates and CRLs.
383 [Paul Dale]
384
385 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
386 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
387 [Andy Polyakov]
388
389 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
390 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
391 [Richard Levitte]
392
393 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
394 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
395 which is the minimum version we support.
396 [Richard Levitte]
397
398 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
399 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
400 are no longer allowed.
401 [Emilia Käsper]
402
403 *) Add support for ARIA
404 [Paul Dale]
405
406 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
407 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
408 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
409 using "-servername".
410 [Matt Caswell]
411
412 *) Add support for SipHash
413 [Todd Short]
414
415 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
416 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
417 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
418 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
419 [Matt Caswell]
420
421 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
422 using the algorithm defined in
423 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
424 [Richard Levitte]
425
426 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
427 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
428
429 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
430 [Emilia Käsper]
431
432 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
433 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
434 [Rich Salz]
435
436
437 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
438
439 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
440
441 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
442 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
443 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
444 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
445 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
446 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
447 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
448 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
449 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
450 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
451 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
452 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
453 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
454 [Matt Caswell]
455
456 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
457
458 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
459
460 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
461 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
462 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
463 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
464 so this is considered safe.
465
466 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
467 project.
468 (CVE-2018-0739)
469 [Matt Caswell]
470
471 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
472
473 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
474 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
475 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
476 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
477 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
478 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
479
480 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
481 (IBM).
482 (CVE-2018-0733)
483 [Andy Polyakov]
484
485 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
486 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
487 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
488 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
489 [Richard Levitte]
490
491 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
492
493 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
494 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
495 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
496 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
497 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
498
499 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
500 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
501 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
502 [Matt Caswell]
503
504 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
505 exist.
506 [Rich Salz]
507
508 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
509
510 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
511 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
512 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
513 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
514 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
515 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
516 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
517 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
518 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
519 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
520
521 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
522 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
523
524 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
525 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
526 (CVE-2017-3738)
527 [Andy Polyakov]
528
529 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
530
531 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
532
533 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
534 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
535 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
536 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
537 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
538 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
539 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
540 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
541 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
542 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
543 key that is shared between multiple clients.
544
545 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
546 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
547
548 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
549 (CVE-2017-3736)
550 [Andy Polyakov]
551
552 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
553
554 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
555 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
556 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
557
558 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
559 (CVE-2017-3735)
560 [Rich Salz]
561
562 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
563
564 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
565 platform rather than 'mingw'.
566 [Richard Levitte]
567
568 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
569 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
570 which is the minimum version we support.
571 [Richard Levitte]
572
573 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
574
575 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
576
577 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
578 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
579 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
580 and servers are affected.
581
582 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
583 (CVE-2017-3733)
584 [Matt Caswell]
585
586 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
587
588 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
589
590 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
591 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
592 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
593
594 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
595 (CVE-2017-3731)
596 [Andy Polyakov]
597
598 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
599
600 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
601 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
602 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
603 of Service attack.
604
605 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
606 (CVE-2017-3730)
607 [Matt Caswell]
608
609 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
610
611 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
612 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
613 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
614 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
615 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
616 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
617 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
618 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
619 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
620 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
621 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
622 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
623 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
624
625 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
626 (CVE-2017-3732)
627 [Andy Polyakov]
628
629 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
630
631 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
632
633 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
634 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
635 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
636
637 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
638 (CVE-2016-7054)
639 [Richard Levitte]
640
641 *) CMS Null dereference
642
643 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
644 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
645 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
646 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
647 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
648 affected.
649
650 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
651 (CVE-2016-7053)
652 [Stephen Henson]
653
654 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
655
656 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
657 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
658 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
659 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
660 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
661 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
662 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
663 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
664 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
665 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
666 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
667 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
668 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
669 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
670
671 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
672 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
673 providing reproducible case.
674 (CVE-2016-7055)
675 [Andy Polyakov]
676
677 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
678 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
679 [Richard Levitte]
680
681 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
682
683 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
684
685 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
686 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
687 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
688 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
689 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
690 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
691
692 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
693
694 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
695 (CVE-2016-6309)
696 [Matt Caswell]
697
698 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
699
700 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
701
702 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
703 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
704 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
705 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
706 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
707 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
708 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
709
710 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
711 (CVE-2016-6304)
712 [Matt Caswell]
713
714 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
715
716 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
717 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
718 Denial Of Service attack.
719
720 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
721 (CVE-2016-6305)
722 [Matt Caswell]
723
724 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
725 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
726
727 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
728 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
729 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
730 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
731 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
732 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
733 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
734 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
735 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
736 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
737 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
738 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
739 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
740 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
741 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
742
743 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
744 that the connection fails
745 or
746 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
747 very little free memory
748 or
749 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
750 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
751 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
752 memory to service the multiple requests.
753
754 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
755 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
756 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
757 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
758 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
759
760 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
761 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
762 [Matt Caswell]
763
764 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
765 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
766 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
767 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
768 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
769 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
770 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
771 [Andy Polyakov]
772
773 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
774
775 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
776 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
777 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
778 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
779 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
780 non-ASCII password.
781 [Andy Polyakov]
782
783 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
784 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
785 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
786 [Rich Salz]
787
788 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
789 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
790 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
791 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
792 [Matt Caswell]
793
794 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
795 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
796 success.
797 [Matt Caswell]
798
799 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
800 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
801 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
802 no-ops and deprecated.
803 [Matt Caswell]
804
805 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
806 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
807 were also closed.
808 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
809
810 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
811 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
812 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
813 [Rich Salz]
814
815 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
816 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
817 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
818 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
819 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
820 and the validity of object reference counter.
821 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
822
823 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
824 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
825 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
826 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
827 [Richard Levitte]
828
829 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
830 [Richard Levitte]
831
832 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
833 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
834 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
835 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
836
837 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
838
839 [Richard Levitte]
840
841 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
842 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
843 [Steve Henson]
844
845 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
846 [Andy Polyakov]
847
848 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
849 [Rich Salz]
850
851 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
852 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
853 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
854 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
855 name and is used as is.
856 [Richard Levitte]
857
858 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
859 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
860 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
861 [Rich Salz]
862
863 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
864 the "no-shared" Configure option.
865 [Matt Caswell]
866
867 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
868 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
869 algorithms.
870 [Matt Caswell]
871
872 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
873 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
874 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
875 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
876 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
877 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
878 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
879 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
880 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
881 [Matt Caswell]
882
883 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
884 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
885 enabled with '--debug' builds.
886 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
887
888 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
889 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
890 these have been added.
891 [Matt Caswell]
892
893 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
894 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
895 functions for managing these have been added.
896 [Richard Levitte]
897
898 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
899 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
900 these have been added.
901 [Matt Caswell]
902
903 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
904 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
905 have been added.
906 [Matt Caswell]
907
908 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
909 [Matt Caswell]
910
911 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
912 [Richard Levitte]
913
914 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
915 it is always safe to #include a header now.
916 [Rich Salz]
917
918 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
919 [Richard Levitte]
920
921 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
922 [Rich Salz]
923
924 *) Add support for HKDF.
925 [Alessandro Ghedini]
926
927 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
928 [Bill Cox]
929
930 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
931 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
932 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
933 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
934 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
935 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
936 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
937 [Matt Caswell]
938
939 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
940 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
941 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
942 [Catriona Lucey]
943
944 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
945 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
946 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
947 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
948 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
949 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
950 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
951
952 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
953 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
954 [Todd Short]
955
956 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
957 [Todd Short]
958
959 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
960 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
961 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
962 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
963 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
964 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
965 default cipherlist.
966 [Emilia Käsper]
967
968 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
969 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
970 [Rich Salz]
971
972 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
973 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
974 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
975 [Matt Caswell]
976
977 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
978 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
979 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
980 implemented by other servers.
981 [Emilia Käsper]
982
983 *) Add X25519 support.
984 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
985 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
986 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
987 key generation and key derivation.
988
989 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
990 X25519(29).
991 [Steve Henson]
992
993 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
994 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
995 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
996 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
997 seed, even if the seed is configured.
998
999 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1000 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1001 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1002 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1003 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1004 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1005 that of a valid user.
1006 [Emilia Käsper]
1007
1008 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1009 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1010 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1011 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1012
1013 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1014 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1015
1016 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1017 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1018 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1019 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1020
1021 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1022 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1023 irrelevant.
1024 [Richard Levitte]
1025
1026 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1027 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1028 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1029 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1030 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1031 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1032
1033 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1034 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1035 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1036 [Richard Levitte]
1037
1038 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1039 [Rich Salz]
1040
1041 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1042 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1043 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1044 removed.
1045 [Richard Levitte]
1046
1047 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1048 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1049 old #define's might need to be updated.
1050 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1051
1052 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1053 [Rich Salz]
1054
1055 *) New "unified" build system
1056
1057 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1058 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1059
1060 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1061 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1062 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1063
1064 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1065 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1066 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1067 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1068 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1069
1070 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1071 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1072 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1073 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1074 libraries" in INSTALL.
1075
1076 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1077 [Richard Levitte]
1078
1079 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1080 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1081 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1082 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1083 [Matt Caswell]
1084
1085 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1086 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1087
1088 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1089 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1090 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1091 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1092 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1093 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1094 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1095 have been adapted accordingly.
1096 [Richard Levitte]
1097
1098 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1099 the leading 0-byte.
1100 [Emilia Käsper]
1101
1102 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1103 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1104 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1105 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1106 [Emilia Käsper]
1107
1108 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1109 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1110 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1111 'unsigned char*'.
1112 [Emilia Käsper]
1113
1114 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1115 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1116 [Emilia Käsper]
1117
1118 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1119 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1120 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1121 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1122 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1123 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1124 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1125
1126 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1127 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1128
1129 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1130 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1131 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1132 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1133 Text::Template.
1134
1135 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1136 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1137 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1138 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1139 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1140 %target).
1141 [Richard Levitte]
1142
1143 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1144 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1145 straightforward and less interdependent.
1146
1147 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1148 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1149 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1150
1151 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1152 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1153 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1154 installed.
1155 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1156 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1157 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1158 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1159
1160 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1161 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1162 [Richard Levitte]
1163
1164 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1165 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1166 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1167 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1168 is present).
1169 [Matt Caswell]
1170
1171 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1172 configuring.
1173 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1174
1175 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1176 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1177 before trying to build now.*
1178 [Rich Salz]
1179
1180 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1181 has changed.
1182 [Rich Salz]
1183
1184 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1185
1186 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1187 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1188 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1189 used to authenticate the peer.
1190
1191 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1192 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1193 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1194 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1195 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1196 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1197
1198 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1199 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1200 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1201 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1202 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1203 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1204
1205 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1206 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1207 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1208 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1209 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1210 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1211 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1212 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1213 version.
1214
1215 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1216 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1217 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1218 compile with later releases.
1219
1220 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1221 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1222 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1223 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1224 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1225 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1226
1227 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1228 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1229 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1230 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1231 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1232 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1233 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1234 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1235 [Kurt Roeckx]
1236
1237 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1238 [Andy Polyakov]
1239
1240 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1241 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1242 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1243 ECDSA_SIG format.
1244
1245 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1246 include the ec.h header file instead.
1247 [Steve Henson]
1248
1249 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1250 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1251 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1252 [Kurt Roeckx]
1253
1254 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1255 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1256 were added:
1257
1258 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1259 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1260
1261 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1262 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1263 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1264
1265 Additional changes:
1266 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1267 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1268 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1269 an already created structure.
1270 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1271 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1272 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1273 for deprecated builds.
1274 [Richard Levitte]
1275
1276 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1277 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1278 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1279 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1280 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1281 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1282 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1283 [Matt Caswell]
1284
1285 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1286 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1287 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1288 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1289 [Kurt Roeckx]
1290
1291 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1292 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1293 [Kurt Roeckx]
1294
1295 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1296 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1297 [Kurt Roeckx]
1298
1299 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1300 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1301 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1302 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1303 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1304 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1305 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1306 also been removed.
1307 [Matt Caswell]
1308
1309 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1310 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1311 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1312 [Rich Salz]
1313
1314 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1315 [Rich Salz]
1316
1317 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1318 sureware and ubsec.
1319 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1320
1321 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1322
1323 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1324 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1325
1326 FOO *x;
1327
1328 it must be:
1329
1330 FOO x;
1331
1332 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1333 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1334
1335 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1336 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1337 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1338 SEQUENCE OF.
1339 [Steve Henson]
1340
1341 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1342 [Emilia Käsper]
1343
1344 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1345 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1346 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1347 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1348 [Matt Caswell]
1349
1350 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1351 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1352 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1353 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1354 [Emilia Käsper]
1355
1356 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1357 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1358 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1359
1360 *) New testing framework
1361 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1362 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1363 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1364 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1365 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1366 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1367
1368 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1369
1370 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1371 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1372
1373 [Richard Levitte]
1374
1375 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1376 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1377 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1378 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1379 [Rich Salz]
1380
1381 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1382 return an error
1383 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1384
1385 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1386 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1387
1388 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1389 original RSA_PSK patch.
1390 [Steve Henson]
1391
1392 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1393 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1394 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1395 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1396 [Matt Caswell]
1397
1398 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1399 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1400 [Richard Levitte]
1401
1402 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1403 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1404 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1405 [Emilia Käsper]
1406
1407 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1408 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1409 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1410 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1411 transferred.
1412 [Matt Caswell]
1413
1414 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1415 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1416 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1417 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1418 [Matt Caswell]
1419
1420 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1421 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1422 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1423 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1424 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1425 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1426 [Matt Caswell]
1427
1428 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1429 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1430 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1431 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1432 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1433 header file has been removed.
1434 [Matt Caswell]
1435
1436 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1437 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1438 [Matt Caswell]
1439
1440 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1441 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1442 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1443
1444 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1445 Added a test.
1446 [Rich Salz]
1447
1448 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1449 [Rich Salz]
1450
1451 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1452 sha256
1453 [Rich Salz]
1454
1455 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1456 [Matt Caswell]
1457
1458 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1459 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1460 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1461 [Steve Henson]
1462
1463 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1464 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1465 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1466 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1467 [Matt Caswell]
1468
1469 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1470 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1471 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1472 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1473 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1474 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1475 [Matt Caswell]
1476
1477 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1478 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1479 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1480 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1481 [Matt Caswell]
1482
1483 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1484 compatible client hello.
1485 [Kurt Roeckx]
1486
1487 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1488 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1489 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1490
1491 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1492 [Rich Salz]
1493
1494 *) Removed old DES API.
1495 [Rich Salz]
1496
1497 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1498 Sony NEWS4
1499 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1500 NeXT
1501 SUNOS
1502 MPE/iX
1503 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1504 DGUX
1505 NCR
1506 Tandem
1507 Cray
1508 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1509 [Rich Salz]
1510
1511 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1512 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1513 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1514 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1515 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1516 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO

1522 [Rich Salz]
1523
1524 *) Cleaned up dead code
1525 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1526 [Rich Salz]
1527
1528 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1529 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1530 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1531 [Rich Salz]
1532
1533 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1534 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1535 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1536 [Rich Salz]
1537
1538 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1539 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1540 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1541
1542 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1543 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1544 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1545
1546 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1547 compilation flags.
1548 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1549
1550 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1551 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1552 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1553
1554 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1555 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1556
1557 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1558 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1559 server.
1560
1561 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1562 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1563 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1564 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1565
1566 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1567 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1568 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1569 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1570
1571 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1572 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1573 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1574
1575 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1576 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1577 [Steve Henson]
1578
1579 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1580
1581 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1582 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1583
1584 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1585 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1586
1587 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1588 effect.
1589
1590 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1591
1592 [Steve Henson]
1593
1594 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1595 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1596 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1597 algorithms and include tests cases.
1598 [Steve Henson]
1599
1600 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1601 enveloped data.
1602 [Steve Henson]
1603
1604 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1605 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1606 [Steve Henson]
1607
1608 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1609 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1610
1611 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1612 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1613 [Steve Henson]
1614
1615 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1616 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1617 failures.
1618 [Steve Henson]
1619
1620 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1621 sign or verify all in one operation.
1622 [Steve Henson]
1623
1624 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1625 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1626 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1627 [Steve Henson]
1628
1629 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1630 [Steve Henson]
1631
1632 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1633 [Steve Henson]
1634
1635 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1636 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1637 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1638 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1639 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1640 [Steve Henson]
1641
1642 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1643 based on NID.
1644 [Steve Henson]
1645
1646 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1647 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1648 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1649 [Steve Henson]
1650
1651 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1652 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1653
1654 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1655 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1656 [Steve Henson]
1657
1658 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1659 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1660 [Steve Henson]
1661
1662 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1663 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1664 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1665 [Steve Henson]
1666
1667 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1668 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1669 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1670 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1671 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1672 requested amount of entropy.
1673 [Steve Henson]
1674
1675 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1676 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1677 [Steve Henson]
1678
1679 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1680 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1681 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1682 support.
1683 [Steve Henson]
1684
1685 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1686 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1687 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1688 [Steve Henson]
1689
1690 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1691 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1692 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1693 will never use XTS mode.
1694 [Steve Henson]
1695
1696 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1697 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1698 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1699 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1700 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1701 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1702 [Steve Henson]
1703
1704 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1705 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1706 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1707 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1708 [Steve Henson]
1709
1710 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1711 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1712 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1713 [Steve Henson]
1714
1715 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1716 [Steve Henson]
1717
1718 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1719 [Steve Henson]
1720
1721 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1722 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1723 [Steve Henson]
1724
1725 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1726 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1727 [Steve Henson]
1728
1729 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1730 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1731 [Steve Henson]
1732
1733 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1734 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1735 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1736 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1737 and rename any affected symbols.
1738 [Steve Henson]
1739
1740 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1741 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1742 [Steve Henson]
1743
1744 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1745 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1746 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1747 [Steve Henson]
1748
1749 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1750 [Steve Henson]
1751
1752 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1753 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1754 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1755 [Steve Henson]
1756
1757 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1758 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1759 [Steve Henson]
1760
1761 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1762 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1763 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1764 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1765 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1766 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1767 set before the key.
1768 [Steve Henson]
1769
1770 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1771 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1772 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1773 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1774 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1775 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1776 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1777 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1778 [Steve Henson]
1779
1780 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1781 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1782 [Steve Henson]
1783
1784 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1785
1786 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1787 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1788
1789 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1790 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1791 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1792 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1793 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1794 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1795
1796 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1797 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1798 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1799 security.
1800 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1801
1802 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1803 parameters by name.
1804 [Steve Henson]
1805
1806 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1807 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1808 [Steve Henson]
1809
1810 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1811 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1812 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1813 [Steve Henson]
1814
1815 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1816 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1817 multi-process servers.
1818 [Steve Henson]
1819
1820 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1821 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1822 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1823 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1824 RAND_METHOD structure.
1825 [Steve Henson]
1826
1827 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1828 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1829 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1830 whose return value is often ignored.
1831 [Steve Henson]
1832
1833 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1834 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1835 validated when establishing a connection.
1836 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]

1838 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1839
1840 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1841
1842 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1843 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1844 AES-NI.
1845
1846 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1847 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1848 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1849 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1850 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1851 bytes.
1852
1853 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1854 (CVE-2016-2107)
1855 [Kurt Roeckx]
1856
1857 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1858
1859 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1860 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1861 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1862 corruption.
1863
1864 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1865 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1866 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1867 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1868 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1869 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1870
1871 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1872 (CVE-2016-2105)
1873 [Matt Caswell]
1874
1875 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1876
1877 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1878 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1879 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1880 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1881 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1882 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1883 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1884 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1885 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1886 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1887 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1888 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1889 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1890 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1891 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1892 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1893
1894 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1895 (CVE-2016-2106)
1896 [Matt Caswell]
1897
1898 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1899
1900 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1901 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1902 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1903
1904 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1905 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1906 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1907 applications are not affected.
1908
1909 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1910 (CVE-2016-2109)
1911 [Stephen Henson]
1912
1913 *) EBCDIC overread
1914
1915 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1916 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1917 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1918
1919 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1920 (CVE-2016-2176)
1921 [Matt Caswell]
1922
1923 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1924 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1925 [Todd Short]
1926
1927 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1928 default.
1929 [Kurt Roeckx]
1930
1931 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1932 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1933 [Kurt Roeckx]
1934
1935 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1936
1937 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1938 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1939 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1940 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1941
1942 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1943 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1944 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1945 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1946 will need to explicitly call either of:
1947
1948 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1949 or
1950 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1951
1952 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1953 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1954 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1955 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1956 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1957 (CVE-2016-0800)
1958 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1959
1960 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1961
1962 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1963 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1964 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1965 considered rare.
1966
1967 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1968 libFuzzer.
1969 (CVE-2016-0705)
1970 [Stephen Henson]
1971
1972 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1973
1974 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1975
1976 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1977 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1978 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1979 is configured.
1980
1981 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1982 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1983 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1984 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1985 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1986 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1987 that of a valid user.
1988 (CVE-2016-0798)
1989 [Emilia Käsper]
1990
1991 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1992
1993 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1994 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1995 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1996 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1997 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1998 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1999 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2000 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2001 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2002 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2003 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2004
2005 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2006 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2007 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2008 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2009 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.

2012 (CVE-2016-0797)
2013 [Matt Caswell]
2014
2015 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2016
2017 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2018 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2019 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2020
2021 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2022 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2023 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2024 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2025 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2026 also occur.
2027
2028 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2029 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2030 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2031 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2032 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2033 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2034 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2035 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2036 as command line arguments.
2037
2038 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2039 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2040 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

2044 [Matt Caswell]
2045
2046 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2047
2048 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2049 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2050 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2051 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2052 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2053
2054 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2055 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and

2066
2067 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2068 *) DH small subgroups
2069
2070 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2071 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2072 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2073 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2074 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2075 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2076 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2077 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2078 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2079 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2080
2081 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2082 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2083 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2084 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2085 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2086
2087 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2088 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2089 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2090 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2091
2092 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2093 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2094

2098
2099 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2100
2101 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2102 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2103 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2104 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2112
2113 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2114
2115 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2116 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2117 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2118 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2119 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2120 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2121 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2122 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2123 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2124 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2125 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2126 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2132 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2133
2134 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2135 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2136 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2137 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2138 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2139 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2140 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2141 authentication.

2148
2149 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
2150 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2151 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2152 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.

2170
2171 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2172
2173 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2174 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2175 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2176 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2177 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2178 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2194
2195 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2196 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2197 field.
2198
2199 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2200 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2201 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2202 client authentication enabled.

2207
2208 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2209
2210 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2211 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2212 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2213 time string.
2214
2215 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2216 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2217 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2218 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2219 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2220 callbacks.

2228
2229 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2230 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2231 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2232
2233 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7

2267
2268 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2269 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2270 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.

2273 University.
2274 (CVE-2015-0291)
2275 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2276
2277 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2278
2279 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2280 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2281 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2282 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2283 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2284 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2285 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2286 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2287
2288 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2289 (CVE-2015-0290)
2290 [Matt Caswell]
2291
2292 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2293
2294 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2295 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2296 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2297 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2298 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2299 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2300 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2301 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2302 server.

2306 [Matt Caswell]
2307
2308 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2309
2310 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2311 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2312 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2313 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2314 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2315 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2316 (CVE-2015-0286)
2317 [Stephen Henson]
2318
2319 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2320
2321 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2322 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2323 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2324 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2325 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2326 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2327 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

2331 [Stephen Henson]
2332
2333 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2334
2335 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2336 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2337 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2338
2339 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2340 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2341 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2342 not affected.

2345
2346 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2347
2348 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2349 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2350 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2351
2352 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2353 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2354 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.

2360 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2361
2362 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2363 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2364 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.

2369 [Emilia Käsper]
2370
2371 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2372
2373 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2374 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2375 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2376 (CVE-2015-1787)
2377 [Matt Caswell]
2378
2379 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2380
2381 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2382 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2383 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2384 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2385 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2386 SSL_client_methodv23)
2387 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2388 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2389
2390 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2391 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2392 output may be predictable.
2393
2394 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2395 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2396
2397 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA

2401 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2402
2403 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2404 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2405 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2406 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2407 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2408 sources. This scenario is considered rare.

2481
2482 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2483 [Andy Polyakov]
2484
2485 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2486 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2487 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2488 [Steve Henson]
2489
2490 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2491 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2492 [Steve Henson]
2493
2494 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2495 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2496 [Steve Henson]
2497
2498 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2499 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2500 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2501 algorithms and include tests cases.
2502 [Steve Henson]
2503
2504 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2505 structure.
2506 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2507
2508 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2509 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2510 [Steve Henson]
2511
2512 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2513 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2514 summary of the connection parameters.
2515 [Steve Henson]
2516
2517 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2518 of connection parameters.
2519 [Steve Henson]
2520
2521 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2522 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2523
2524 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2525 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2526 [Steve Henson]
2527
2528 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2529 [Steve Henson]
2530
2531 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2532 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2533 [Steve Henson]
2534
2535 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2536 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2537 [Steve Henson]
2538
2539 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2540 certificates.
2541 [Steve Henson]
2542
2543 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2544 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2545 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2546 [Steve Henson]
2547
2548 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2549 [Steve Henson]
2550
2551 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2552 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2553 [Steve Henson]
2554
2555 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2556 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2557 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2558 tracing.
2559 [Steve Henson]
2560
2561 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2562 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2563 [Steve Henson]
2564
2565 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2566 OID NID.
2567 [Steve Henson]
2568
2569 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2570 client to OpenSSL.
2571 [Steve Henson]
2572
2573 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2574 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2575 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2576 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2577 [Steve Henson]
2578
2579 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2580 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2581 [Steve Henson]
2582
2583 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2584 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2585 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2586 comparison.
2587 [Steve Henson]
2588
2589 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2590 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2591 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2592 use the certificate.
2593 [Steve Henson]
2594
2595 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2596 [Steve Henson]
2597
2598 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2599 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2600 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2601 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2602 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2603 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2604 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2605
2606 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2607 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2608
2609 [Steve Henson]
2610
2611 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2612 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2613 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2614 [Steve Henson]
2615
2616 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2617 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2618 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2619 supported signature algorithms.
2620 [Steve Henson]
2621
2622 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2623 [Steve Henson]
2624
2625 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2626 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2627 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2628 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2629 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2630 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2631 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2632 [Steve Henson]
2633
2634 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2635 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2636 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2637 to have similar checks in it.
2638
2639 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2640 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2641 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2642 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2643 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2644 [Steve Henson]
2645
2646 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2647 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2648 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2649 shared signature algorithms.
2650 [Steve Henson]
2651
2652 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2653 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2654 to support them.
2655 [Steve Henson]
2656
2657 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2658 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2659 it couldn't be removed.
2660 [Steve Henson]
2661
2662 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2663 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2664 [Steve Henson]
2665
2666 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2667 functions. Add manual page.
2668 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2669
2670 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2671 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2672 a certificate.
2673 [Steve Henson]
2674
2675 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2676 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2677
2678 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2679 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2680 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2681 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2682 utility) or reject.
2683 [Steve Henson]
2684
2685 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2686 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2687 [Steve Henson]
2688
2689 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2690 platform support for Linux and Android.
2691 [Andy Polyakov]
2692
2693 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2694 [Andy Polyakov]
2695
2696 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2697 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2698 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2699 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2700 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2701 [Steve Henson]
2702
2703 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2704 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2705 the new parameter format automatically.
2706 [Steve Henson]
2707
2708 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2709 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2710 [Steve Henson]
2711
2712 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2713 [Steve Henson]
2714
2715 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2716 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2717 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2718 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2719 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2720 [Steve Henson]
2721
2722 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2723 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2724 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2725 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2726 to set list of supported curves.
2727 [Steve Henson]
2728
2729 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2730 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2731 to print out received values.
2732 [Steve Henson]
2733
2734 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2735 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2736 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2737 [Steve Henson]
2738
2739 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2740 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2741 [Steve Henson]
2742
2743 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2744 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2745 [Steve Henson]
2746
2747 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2748 certificates.
2749 [Steve Henson]
2750
2751 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2752 the certificate.
2753 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2754 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2755 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2756
2757 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2758
2759 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2760 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2761
2762 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2763
2764 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2765 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2766 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2767 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2768 (CVE-2014-3571)
2769 [Steve Henson]
2770
2771 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2772 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2773 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2774 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2775 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2776 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2777 (CVE-2015-0206)
2778 [Matt Caswell]
2779
2780 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2781 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2782 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2783 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2784 (CVE-2014-3569)
2785 [Kurt Roeckx]
2786
2787 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2788 ECDH ciphersuites.
2789
2790 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2791 reporting this issue.
2792 (CVE-2014-3572)
2793 [Steve Henson]
2794
2795 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2796 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2797 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2798 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2799 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2800 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2801 (CVE-2015-0204)
2802 [Steve Henson]
2803
2804 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2805 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2806 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2807 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2808 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2809 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2810 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2811 this issue.
2812 (CVE-2015-0205)
2813 [Steve Henson]
2814
2815 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2816 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2817
2818 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2819 and can vary with the CTX.
2820 [Adam Langley]
2821
2822 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2823
2824 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2825 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2826 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2827 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2828 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2829
2830 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2831
2832 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2833 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2834
2835 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2836
2837 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2838 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2839 errors for some broken certificates.
2840
2841 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2842
2843 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2844
2845 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2846 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2847
2848 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2849 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2850 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2851 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2852
2853 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2854 of the OpenSSL core team.
2855
2856 (CVE-2014-8275)
2857 [Steve Henson]
2858
2859 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2860 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2861 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2862 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2863 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2864 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2865 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2866 the OpenSSL core team.
2867 (CVE-2014-3570)
2868 [Andy Polyakov]
2869
2870 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2871 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2872 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2873 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2874 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2875
2876 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2877 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2878 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2879 [Emilia Käsper]
2880
2881 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2882 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2883 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2884 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2885 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2886
2887 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2888 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2889 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2890 [Emilia Käsper]
2891
2892 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2893
2894 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2895
2896 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2897 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2898 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2899 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2900 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2901 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2902 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2903
2904 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2905 (CVE-2014-3513)
2906 [OpenSSL team]
2907
2908 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2909
2910 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2911 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2912 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2913 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2914 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2915 attack.
2916 (CVE-2014-3567)
2917 [Steve Henson]
2918
2919 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2920
2921 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2922 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2923 configured to send them.
2924 (CVE-2014-3568)
2925 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2926
2927 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2928 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2929 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2930 (CVE-2014-3566)
2931 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2932
2933 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2934
2935 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2936 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2937 DigestInfo structures.
2938
2939 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2940
2941 [Steve Henson]
2942
2943 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2944
2945 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2946 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2947 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2948
2949 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2950 Group for discovering this issue.
2951 (CVE-2014-3512)
2952 [Steve Henson]
2953
2954 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2955 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2956 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2957 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2958 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2959
2960 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2961 researching this issue.
2962 (CVE-2014-3511)
2963 [David Benjamin]
2964
2965 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2966 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2967 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2968 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2969
2970 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2971 issue.
2972 (CVE-2014-3510)
2973 [Emilia Käsper]
2974
2975 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2976 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2977 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2978 (CVE-2014-3507)
2979 [Adam Langley]
2980
2981 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2982 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2983 Denial of Service attack.
2984 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2985 (CVE-2014-3506)
2986 [Adam Langley]
2987
2988 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2989 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2990 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2991 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2992 this issue.
2993 (CVE-2014-3505)
2994 [Adam Langley]
2995
2996 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2997 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2998 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2999
3000 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3001 issue.
3002 (CVE-2014-3509)
3003 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3004
3005 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3006 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3007 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3008 Denial of Service attack.
3009
3010 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3011 discovering and researching this issue.
3012 (CVE-2014-5139)
3013 [Steve Henson]
3014
3015 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3016 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3017 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3018 output to the attacker.
3019
3020 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3021 (CVE-2014-3508)
3022 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3023
3024 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3025 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3026 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3027 [Bodo Moeller]
3028
3029 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3030
3031 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3032 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3033 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3034
3035 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3036 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3037 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3038
3039 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3040 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3041 in a DoS attack.
3042
3043 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3044 (CVE-2014-0221)
3045 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3046
3047 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3048 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3049 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3050 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3051
3052 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3053 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3054
3055 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3056 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3057
3058 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3059 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3060 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3061
3062 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3063 compilation flags.
3064 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3065
3066 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3067 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3068 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3069
3070 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3071 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3072
3073 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3074
3075 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3076 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3077 server.
3078
3079 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3080 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3081 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3082 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3083
3084 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3085 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3086 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3087 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3088
3089 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3090 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3091 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3092
3093 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3094
3095 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3096 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3097 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3098 is at least 512 bytes long.
3099
3100 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3101
3102 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3103
3104 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3105 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3106 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3107 (CVE-2013-4353)
3108
3109 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3110 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3111 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3112 [Steve Henson]
3113
3114 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3115 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3116 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3117 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3118 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3119 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3120 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3121
3122 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3123
3124 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3125 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3126 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3127
3128 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3129
3130 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3131
3132 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3133 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3134 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3135
3136 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3137 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3138 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3139 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3140 (CVE-2013-0169)
3141 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3142
3143 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3144 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3145 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3146 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3147 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3148 (CVE-2012-2686)
3149 [Adam Langley]
3150
3151 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3152 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3153 [Steve Henson]
3154
3155 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3156 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3157
3158 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3159 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3160 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3161 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3162 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3163
3164 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3165 [Steve Henson]
3166
3167 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3168 if renegotiating.
3169 [Steve Henson]
3170
3171 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3172
3173 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3174 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3175
3176 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3177 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3178 (CVE-2012-2333)
3179 [Steve Henson]
3180
3181 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3182 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3183 [Steve Henson]
3184
3185 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3186 approved.
3187 [Steve Henson]
3188
3189 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3190
3191 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3192 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3193 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3194 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3195 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3196 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3197 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3198 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3199 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3200 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3201 [Steve Henson]
3202
3203 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3204 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3205 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3206 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3207 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3208 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3209 client side.
3210 [Andy Polyakov]
3211
3212 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3213
3214 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3215 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3216 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3217
3218 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3219 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3220 (CVE-2012-2110)
3221 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3222
3223 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3224 [Adam Langley]
3225
3226 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3227 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3228
3229 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3230 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3231 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3232 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3233 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3234 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3235 Most broken servers should now work.
3236 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3237 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3238 [Steve Henson]
3239
3240 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3241 [Andy Polyakov]
3242
3243 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3244
3245 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3246 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3247 [Steve Henson]
3248
3249 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3250 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3251 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3252 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3253 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3254 [Steve Henson]
3255
3256 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3257 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3258 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3259 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3260 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3261 [Steve Henson]
3262
3263 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3264 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3265
3266 *) Add support for SCTP.
3267 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3268
3269 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3270 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3271
3272 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3273
3274 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3275 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3276 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3277 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3278 - s390x: z196 support;
3279 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3280
3281 [Andy Polyakov]
3282
3283 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3284 (removal of unnecessary code)
3285 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3286
3287 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3288 [Eric Rescorla]
3289
3290 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3291 [Eric Rescorla]
3292
3293 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3294 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3295 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3296 by Google.
3297 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3298
3299 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3300 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3301 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3302 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3303 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3304
3305 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3306 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3307 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3308
3309 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3310 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3311 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3312
3313 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3314 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3315 implementations).
3316 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3317
3318 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3319 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3320 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3321 [Steve Henson]
3322
3323 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3324 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3325 particular PSS.
3326 [Steve Henson]
3327
3328 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3329 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3330 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3331 [Steve Henson]
3332
3333 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3334 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3335 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3336 the appropriate parameters.
3337 [Steve Henson]
3338
3339 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3340 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3341 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3342 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3343 against a number of sample certificates.
3344 [Steve Henson]
3345
3346 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3347 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3348
3349 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3350 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3351
3352 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3353 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3354 parameters r, s.
3355 [Steve Henson]
3356
3357 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3358 RFC3211.
3359 [Steve Henson]
3360
3361 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3362 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3363 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3364 password based CMS).
3365 [Steve Henson]
3366
3367 *) Session-handling fixes:
3368 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3369 but also support Session Tickets.
3370 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3371 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3372 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3373 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3374 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3375 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3376
3377 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3378 [Bodo Moeller]
3379
3380 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3381
3382 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3383 [Andy Polyakov]
3384
3385 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3386 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3387 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3388 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3389 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3390 [Steve Henson]
3391
3392 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3393 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3394 [Steve Henson]
3395
3396 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3397 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3398 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3399 [Steve Henson]
3400
3401 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3402 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3403 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3404 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3405 [Steve Henson]
3406
3407 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3408 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3409 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3410 [Steve Henson]
3411
3412 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3413 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3414
3415 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3416 [Steve Henson]
3417
3418 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3419 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3420 [Steve Henson]
3421
3422 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3423 [Steve Henson]
3424
3425 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3426 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3427 [Steve Henson]
3428
3429 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3430 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3431 [Steve Henson]
3432
3433 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3434 [Steve Henson]
3435
3436 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3437 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3438 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3439 [Steve Henson]
3440
3441 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3442 [Steve Henson]
3443
3444 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3445 [Steve Henson]
3446
3447 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3448 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3449 [Steve Henson]
3450
3451 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3452 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3453 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3454 [Steve Henson]
3455
3456 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3457 [Steve Henson]
3458
3459 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3460 and enable MD5.
3461 [Steve Henson]
3462
3463 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3464 FIPS modules versions.
3465 [Steve Henson]
3466
3467 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3468 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3469 until after the certificate request message is received.
3470 [Steve Henson]
3471
3472 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3473 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3474 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3475 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3476 [Steve Henson]
3477
3478 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3479 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3480 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3481 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3482 [Steve Henson]
3483
3484 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3485 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3486 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3487 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3488 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3489 and version checking.
3490 [Steve Henson]
3491
3492 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3493 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3494 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3495 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3496 [Steve Henson]
3497
3498 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
3499 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
3500 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
3501 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
3502 Ben Laurie]
3503
3504 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3505 [Steve Henson]
3506
3507 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3508 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3509 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3510
3511 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3512 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3513 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3514 [Steve Henson]
3515
3516 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3517 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3518
3519 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3520 a few changes are required:
3521
3522 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3523 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3524 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3525 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3526 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3527 [Steve Henson]
3528
3529 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3530
3531 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3532 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3533 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3534 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3535 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3536 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3537 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3538 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3539 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3540 [Steve Henson]
3541
3542 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3543 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3544 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3545 [Steve Henson]
3546
3547 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3548
3549 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3550 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3551 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3552 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3553 [Antonio Martin]
3554
3555 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3556
3557 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3558 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3559 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3560 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3561 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3562 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3563 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3564 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3565 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3566 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3567 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3568 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3569 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3570
3571 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3572 (CVE-2011-4576)
3573 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3574
3575 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3576 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3577 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3578 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3579
3580 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3581 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3582
3583 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3584 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3585 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3586 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3587
3588 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3589 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3590
3591 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3592 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3593
3594 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3595 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3596
3597 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3598 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3599 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3600
3601 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3602 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3603 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3604
3605 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3606 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3607 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3608 the last update always remained unused).
3609 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3610
3611 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3612 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3613
3614 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3615
3616 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3617 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3618 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3619
3620 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3621 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3622 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3623
3624 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3625 [Bodo Moeller]
3626
3627 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3628 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3629 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3630 [Steve Henson]
3631
3632 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3633 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3634
3635 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3636
3637 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3638
3639 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3640
3641 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3642 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3643
3644 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3645 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3646 ambiguous.
3647 [Steve Henson]
3648
3649 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3650
3651 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3652 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3653 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3654 [Steve Henson]
3655
3656 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3657 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3658 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3659 [Ben Laurie]
3660
3661 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3662
3663 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3664 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3665 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3666 [Steve Henson]
3667
3668 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3669 a DLL.
3670 [Steve Henson]
3671
3672 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3673
3674 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3675 (CVE-2010-1633)
3676 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3677
3678 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3679
3680 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3681 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3682 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3683 [Steve Henson]
3684
3685 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3686 [Steve Henson]
3687
3688 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3689 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3690 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3691
3692 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3693 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3694 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3695 [Steve Henson]
3696
3697 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3698 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3699 [Steve Henson]
3700
3701 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3702 some responders need this.
3703 [Steve Henson]
3704
3705 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3706 correctly.
3707 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3708
3709 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3710 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3711 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3712 [Steve Henson]
3713
3714 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3715 [Steve Henson]
3716
3717 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3718 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3719 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3720 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3721 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3722 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3723 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3724 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3725 [Steve Henson]
3726
3727 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3728 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3729 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3730 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3731
3732 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3733 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3734
3735 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3736 be used on C++.
3737 [Steve Henson]
3738
3739 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3740 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3741 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3742 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3743 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3744 attempting to work them out.
3745 [Steve Henson]
3746
3747 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3748 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3749 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3750 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3751 [Steve Henson]
3752
3753 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3754 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3755 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3756 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3757 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3758 [Steve Henson]
3759
3760 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3761 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3762 you can do:
3763
3764 openssl sha256 foo
3765
3766 as well as:
3767
3768 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3769
3770 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3771
3772 [Steve Henson]
3773
3774 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3775 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3776
3777 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3778 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3779
3780 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3781 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3782 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3783 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3784 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3785 [Steve Henson]
3786
3787 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3788 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3789 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3790 [Steve Henson]
3791
3792 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3793 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3794 [Steve Henson]
3795
3796 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3797 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3798
3799 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3800 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3801 [Steve Henson]
3802
3803 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3804 [Ben Laurie]
3805
3806 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3807 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3808 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3809 CONF_VALUE.
3810 [Ben Laurie]
3811
3812 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3813 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3814 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3815 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3816 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3817 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3818 [Steve Henson]
3819
3820 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3821 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3822
3823 This work was sponsored by Google.
3824 [Steve Henson]
3825
3826 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3827 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3828 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3829 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3830 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3831 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3832 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3833 default.
3834
3835 This work was sponsored by Google.
3836 [Steve Henson]
3837
3838 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3839
3840 This work was sponsored by Google.
3841 [Steve Henson]
3842
3843 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3844 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3845 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3846 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3847
3848 This work was sponsored by Google.
3849 [Steve Henson]
3850
3851 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3852 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3853 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3854 CRL functionality in future.
3855
3856 This work was sponsored by Google.
3857 [Steve Henson]
3858
3859 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3860
3861 This work was sponsored by Google.
3862 [Steve Henson]
3863
3864 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3865 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3866
3867 This work was sponsored by Google.
3868 [Steve Henson]
3869
3870 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3871 and URI types are currently supported.
3872
3873 This work was sponsored by Google.
3874 [Steve Henson]
3875
3876 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3877 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3878 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3879 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3880 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3881 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3882 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3883 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3884
3885 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3886 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3887 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3888
3889 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3890 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3891 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3892 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3893
3894 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3895 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3896 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3897 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3898 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3899 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3900 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3901 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3902 of &errno.)
3903 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3904
3905 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3906 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3907 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3908
3909 This work was sponsored by Google.
3910 [Steve Henson]
3911
3912 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3913 [Ben Laurie]
3914
3915 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3916 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3917 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3918 [Ben Laurie]
3919
3920 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3921 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3922 [Nick Mathewson]
3923
3924 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3925 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3926 [Ben Laurie]
3927
3928 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3929 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3930 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3931 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3932 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3933 content types and variants.
3934 [Steve Henson]
3935
3936 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3937 [Steve Henson]
3938
3939 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3940 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3941 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3942 files from the associated perl scripts.
3943 [Steve Henson]
3944
3945 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3946 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3947 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3948
3949 *) s390x assembler pack.
3950 [Andy Polyakov]
3951
3952 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3953 "family."
3954 [Andy Polyakov]
3955
3956 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3957 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3958 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3959 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3960 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3961 to use. For example, specify an option
3962
3963 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3964
3965 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3966 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3967 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3968 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3969 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3970 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3971
3972 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3973 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3974 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3975 return non-zero for success.
3976
3977 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3978 by using
3979
3980 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3981 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3982
3983 where
3984
3985 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3986 void *arg;
3987
3988 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3989 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3990 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3991 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3992 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3993 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3994 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3995 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3996 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3997
3998 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3999 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4000 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4001 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4002 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4003 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4004
4005 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4006 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4007 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4008 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4009 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4010 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4011
4012 [Bodo Moeller]
4013
4014 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4015 MAC.
4016
4017 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4018
4019 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4020 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4021 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4022 supported.
4023
4024 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4025 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4026 SSL_SESSION.
4027
4028 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4029 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4030 with no application modification.
4031
4032 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4033 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4034
4035 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4036 or server extensions to be examined.
4037
4038 This work was sponsored by Google.
4039 [Steve Henson]
4040
4041 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4042 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4043 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4044
4045 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4046 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4047 ciphersuite support.
4048 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4049
4050 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4051 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4052 to output in BER and PEM format.
4053 [Steve Henson]
4054
4055 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4056 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4057 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4058 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4059 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4060 [Steve Henson]
4061
4062 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4063 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4064 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4065 utility.
4066 [Steve Henson]
4067
4068 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4069 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4070 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4071 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4072 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4073 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4074 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4075 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4076 enabled again.
4077
4078 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4079 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4080 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4081 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4082
4083 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4084 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4085 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4086 the default order.
4087 [Bodo Moeller]
4088
4089 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4090 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4091 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4092 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4093 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4094 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4095 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4096 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4097 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4098
4099 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4100 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4101 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4102 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4103 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4104 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4105 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4106 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4107 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4108 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4109 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4110 kinds of kludges.
4111
4112 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4113 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4114 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4115
4116 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4117 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4118 "CAMELLIA256".
4119 [Bodo Moeller]
4120
4121 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4122 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4123 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4124 [Nils Larsch]
4125
4126 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4127 it yet and it is largely untested.
4128 [Steve Henson]
4129
4130 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4131 [Nils Larsch]
4132
4133 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4134 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4135 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4136 [Steve Henson]
4137
4138 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4139 [Andy Polyakov]
4140
4141 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4142 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4143 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4144 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4145 [Steve Henson]
4146
4147 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4148 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4149 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4150 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4151 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4152 [Steve Henson]
4153
4154 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4155 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4156 [Cryptocom]
4157
4158 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4159 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4160 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4161 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4162 [Steve Henson]
4163
4164 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4165 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4166 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4167 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4168 [Steve Henson]
4169
4170 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4171 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4172 [Steve Henson]
4173
4174 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4175 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4176 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4177 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4178 [Steve Henson]
4179
4180 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4181 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4182 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4183 [Steve Henson]
4184
4185 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4186 utility.
4187 [Steve Henson]
4188
4189 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4190 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4191 [Steve Henson]
4192
4193 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4194 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4195 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4196 if necessary.
4197 [Steve Henson]
4198
4199 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4200 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4201 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4202 [Steve Henson]
4203
4204 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4205 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4206 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4207 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4208 [Steve Henson]
4209
4210 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4211 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4212 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4213 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4214 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4215 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4216 [Douglas Stebila]
4217
4218 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4219 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4220 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4221 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4222 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4223
4224 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4225 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4226 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4227 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4228 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4229 protocol).
4230
4231 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4232 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4233 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4234 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4235
4236 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4237 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4238 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4239 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4240 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4241
4242 aECDH - ECDH cert
4243 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4244 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4245
4246 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4247 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4248
4249 [Bodo Moeller]
4250
4251 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4252 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4253 [Steve Henson]
4254
4255 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4256 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4257 [Steve Henson]
4258
4259 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4260 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4261 functional reference processing.
4262 [Steve Henson]
4263
4264 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4265 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4266 process.
4267 [Steve Henson]
4268
4269 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4270 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4271 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4272 [Steve Henson]
4273
4274 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4275 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4276 application to support multiple signers.
4277 [Steve Henson]
4278
4279 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4280 digest MAC.
4281 [Steve Henson]
4282
4283 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4284 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4285 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4286 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4287 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4288 [Steve Henson]
4289
4290 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4291 new API.
4292 [Steve Henson]
4293
4294 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4295 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4296 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4297 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4298 a no op.
4299 [Steve Henson]
4300
4301 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4302 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4303 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4304 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4305 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4306 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4307 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4308 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4309 [Steve Henson]
4310
4311 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4312 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4313 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4314 between digests and public key types.
4315 [Steve Henson]
4316
4317 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4318 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4319 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4320 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4321 [Steve Henson]
4322
4323 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4324 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4325 key ASN1 method.
4326 [Steve Henson]
4327
4328 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4329 [Steve Henson]
4330
4331 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4332 pkeyutl.
4333 [Steve Henson]
4334
4335 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4336 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4337 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4338 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4339 pkey, genpkey.
4340 [Steve Henson]
4341
4342 *) BeOS support.
4343 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4344
4345 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4346 manual pages.
4347 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4348
4349 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4350 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4351 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4352 functionality for RSA.
4353 [Steve Henson]
4354
4355 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4356 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4357 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4358 [Steve Henson]
4359
4360 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4361 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4362 [Steve Henson]
4363
4364 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4365 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4366 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4367 [Steve Henson]
4368
4369 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4370 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4371 [Douglas Stebila]
4372
4373 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4374 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4375 [Steve Henson]
4376
4377 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4378 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4379 type.
4380 [Steve Henson]
4381
4382 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4383 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4384 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4385 structure.
4386 [Steve Henson]
4387
4388 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4389 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4390 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4391 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4392 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4393 of public and private key structures.
4394 [Steve Henson]
4395
4396 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4397 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4398 [Douglas Stebila]
4399
4400 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4401 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4402 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4403
4404 New ciphersuites:
4405 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4406 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4407
4408 New functions:
4409 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4410 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4411 SSL_get_psk_identity
4412 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4413
4414 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4415
4416 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4417 and response verification functionality.
4418 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4419
4420 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4421 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4422 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4423 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4424 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4425 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4426 server_name extension.
4427
4428 New functions (subject to change):
4429
4430 SSL_get_servername()
4431 SSL_get_servername_type()
4432 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4433
4434 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4435
4436 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4437 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4438 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4439 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4440 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4441
4442 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4443
4444 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4445 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4446 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4447 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4448 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4449 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4450 option.
4451
4452 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4453
4454 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4455 [Andy Polyakov]
4456
4457 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4458 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4459 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4460 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4461 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4462 [Andy Polyakov]
4463
4464 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4465 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4466 macro.
4467 [Bodo Moeller]
4468
4469 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4470 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4471 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4472 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4473 [Andy Polyakov]
4474
4475 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4476 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4477 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4478 using the maximum available value.
4479 [Steve Henson]
4480
4481 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4482 in addition to the text details.
4483 [Bodo Moeller]
4484
4485 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4486 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4487 handle several customised structures at all.
4488 [Steve Henson]
4489
4490 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4491 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4492 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4493 [Steve Henson]
4494
4495 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4496 [Steve Henson]
4497
4498 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4499 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4500 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4501 [Steve Henson]
4502
4503 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4504 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4505 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4506 [Nils Larsch]
4507
4508 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4509 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4510 all fields.
4511 [Steve Henson]
4512
4513 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4514 [Steve Henson]
4515
4516 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4517 [NTT]
4518
4519 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4520
4521 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4522 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4523 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4524 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4525 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4526 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4527 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4528 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4529
4530 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4531 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4532 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4533
4534 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4535
4536 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4537 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4538
4539 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4540 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4541 [Bodo Moeller]
4542
4543 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4544 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4545 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4546 [Steve Henson]
4547
4548 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4549 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4550 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4551 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4552 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4553 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4554 [Steve Henson]
4555
4556 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4557 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4558 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4559 [Steve Henson]
4560
4561 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4562 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4563 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4564 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4565 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4566 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4567 CVE-2009-4355.
4568 [Steve Henson]
4569
4570 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4571 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4572 [Bodo Moeller]
4573
4574 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4575 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4576 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4577 [Steve Henson]
4578
4579 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4580 [Steve Henson]
4581
4582 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4583 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4584 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4585 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4586 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4587 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4588 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4589 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4590 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4591 [Steve Henson]
4592
4593 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4594 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4595 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4596 [Steve Henson]
4597
4598 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4599 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4600 [Steve Henson]
4601
4602 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4603 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4604 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4605 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4606 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4607 know what you are doing.
4608 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4609
4610 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4611 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4612 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4613 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4614 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4615 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4616 the handshake.
4617 [Steve Henson]
4618
4619 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4620 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4621 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4622 correctly.
4623 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4624
4625 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4626 warnings in other configurations.
4627 [Steve Henson]
4628
4629 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4630 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4631 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4632 systems need.
4633 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4634
4635 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4636 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4637 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4638
4639 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4640 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4641 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4642 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4643 [Steve Henson]
4644
4645 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4646 and restored.
4647 [Steve Henson]
4648
4649 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4650 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4651 clash.
4652 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4653
4654 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4655 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4656 other than a simple chain.
4657 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4658
4659 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4660 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4661 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4662 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4663 [Steve Henson]
4664
4665 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4666 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4667 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4668 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4669 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
4670 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4671 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4672 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4673 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4674
4675 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4676 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4677 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4678 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4679 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4680 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4681 (CVE-2009-1377)
4682 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4683
4684 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4685 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4686 [Daniel Mentz]
4687
4688 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4689 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4690
4691 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4692 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4693
4694 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4695
4696 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4697 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4698 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4699 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4700 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4701 you're doing.
4702 [Ben Laurie]
4703
4704 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4705
4706 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4707 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4708 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4709 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4710
4711 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4712 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4713 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4714 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4715
4716 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4717 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4718 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4719 [Steve Henson]
4720
4721 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4722 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4723 level.
4724 [Steve Henson]
4725
4726 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4727 to handle some structures.
4728 [Steve Henson]
4729
4730 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4731 for a '\n'
4732 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4733
4734 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4735 [Matthieu Herrb]
4736
4737 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4738 [Steve Henson]
4739
4740 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4741 [Steve Henson]
4742
4743 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4744 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4745 chosen compiler.
4746 [Ben Laurie]
4747
4748 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4749
4750 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4751 (CVE-2008-5077).
4752 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4753
4754 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4755 [Ben Laurie]
4756
4757 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4758 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4759 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4760 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4761
4762 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4763 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4764
4765 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4766 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4767 [Bodo Moeller]
4768
4769 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4770 s_client and s_server.
4771 [Ben Laurie]
4772
4773 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4774 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4775
4776 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4777 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4778
4779 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4780 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4781 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4782 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4783 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4784 [Bodo Moeller]
4785
4786 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4787
4788 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4789 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4790 [PR #1679]
4791
4792 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4793 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4794 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4795
4796 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4797 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4798 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4799 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4800
4801 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4802 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4803
4804 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4805
4806 *) Various precautionary measures:
4807
4808 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4809
4810 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4811 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4812 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4813
4814 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4815 outside the expected range.
4816
4817 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4818 builds.
4819
4820 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4821
4822 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4823 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4824 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4825
4826 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4827 [Steve Henson]
4828
4829 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4830 [Huang Ying]
4831
4832 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4833
4834 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4835 [Steve Henson]
4836
4837 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4838 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4839 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4840
4841 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4842 [Steve Henson]
4843
4844 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4845 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4846 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4847 files.
4848 [Steve Henson]
4849
4850 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4851
4852 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4853 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
4854 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4855 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4856
4857 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4858 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4859 [Joe Orton]
4860
4861 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4862
4863 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4864 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4865 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4866
4867 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4868
4869 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4870 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4871 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4872 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4873 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4874
4875 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4876 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4877 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4878 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4879 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4880 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4881 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4882
4883 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4884
4885 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4886 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4887 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4888 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4889 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4890
4891 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4892 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4893
4894 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4895 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4896 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4897 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4898 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4899
4900 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4901
4902 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4903 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4904 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4905 sets may exist with different names.
4906 [Steve Henson]
4907
4908 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4909 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4910 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4911 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4912 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4913 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4914 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4915 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4916 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4917 implementation.
4918 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4919
4920 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4921 implementation in the following ways:
4922
4923 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4924 hard coded.
4925
4926 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4927 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4928 ignored for embedded content.
4929
4930 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4931 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4932 [Steve Henson]
4933
4934 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4935 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4936 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4937 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4938
4939 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4940 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4941 [Steve Henson]
4942
4943 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4944 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4945 [Steve Henson]
4946
4947 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4948 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4949 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4950 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4951 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4952 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4953 data.
4954 [Steve Henson]
4955
4956 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4957 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4958 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4959
4960 *) Netware support:
4961
4962 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4963 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4964 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4965 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4966 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4967 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4968 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4969 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4970 platform
4971 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4972 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4973 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4974 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4975 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4976 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4977 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4978
4979 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4980 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4981 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4982 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4983 to s_client and s_server.
4984 [Steve Henson]
4985
4986 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4987
4988 *) Fix various bugs:
4989 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4990 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4991 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4992 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4993 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4994
4995 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4996
4997 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4998 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4999 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5000 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5001 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5002 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5003 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5004 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5005 [Andy Polyakov]
5006
5007 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5008 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5009 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5010 Steve Henson]
5011
5012 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5013 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5014 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5015 supported.
5016
5017 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5018 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5019 SSL_SESSION.
5020
5021 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5022 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5023 with no application modification.
5024
5025 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5026 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5027
5028 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5029 or server extensions to be examined.
5030
5031 This work was sponsored by Google.
5032 [Steve Henson]
5033
5034 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5035 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5036 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5037 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5038 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5039 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5040 server_name extension.
5041
5042 New functions (subject to change):
5043
5044 SSL_get_servername()
5045 SSL_get_servername_type()
5046 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5047
5048 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5049
5050 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5051 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5052 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5053 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5054 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5055
5056 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5057
5058 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5059 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5060 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5061 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5062 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5063 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5064 option.
5065
5066 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5067
5068 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5069 [Steve Henson]
5070
5071 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5072 [Andy Polyakov]
5073
5074 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5075 (which previously caused an internal error).
5076 [Bodo Moeller]
5077
5078 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5079 [Ben Laurie]
5080
5081 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5082 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5083
5084 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5085 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5086 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5087
5088 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5089 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5090 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5091 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5092
5093 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5094 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5095 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5096 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5097
5098 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5099 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5100 information. For detailed background information, see
5101 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5102 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5103 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5104 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5105 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5106 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5107 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5108 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5109 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5110 remove a conditional branch.
5111
5112 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5113 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5114 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5115 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5116 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5117 remains as a deprecated alias.
5118
5119 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5120 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5121 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5122 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5123
5124 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5125 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5126 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5127 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5128 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5129 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5130 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5131 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5132
5133 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5134
5135 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5136 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5137 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5138 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5139 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5140 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5141 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5142 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5143 in a different context.
5144 [Bodo Moeller]
5145
5146 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5147 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5148 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5149 [Bodo Moeller]
5150
5151 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5152 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5153 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5154
5155 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5156
5157 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5158 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5159 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5160 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5161 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5162 [Victor Duchovni]
5163
5164 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5165 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5166 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5167 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5168 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5169 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5170 [Bodo Moeller]
5171
5172 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5173 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5174 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5175 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5176 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5177 [Bodo Moeller]
5178
5179 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5180 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5181
5182 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5183 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5184 Improve header file function name parsing.
5185 [Steve Henson]
5186
5187 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5188 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5189 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5190
5191 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5192
5193 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5194 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5195 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5196
5197 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5198 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5199
5200 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5201 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5202
5203 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5204 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5205 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5206
5207 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5208 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5209 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5210 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5211 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5212 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5213 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5214 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5215 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5216
5217 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5218 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5219 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5220 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5221 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5222
5223 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5224 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5225 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5226 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5227 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5228 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5229 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5230 multiple values to extend the available space.
5231
5232 [Bodo Moeller]
5233
5234 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5235
5236 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5237 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5238
5239 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5240 [Ben Laurie]
5241
5242 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5243 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5244 undesirable limitations.
5245 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5246
5247 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5248 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5249 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5250 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5251 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5252 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5253 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5254 [Bodo Moeller]
5255
5256 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5257
5258 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5259 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5260 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5261
5262 The latter two were purportedly from
5263 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5264 appear there.
5265
5266 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5267 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5268 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5269 [Bodo Moeller]
5270
5271 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5272 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5273 [Bodo Moeller]
5274
5275 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5276 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5277 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5278 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5279
5280 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5281 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5282 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5283 [NTT]
5284
5285 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5286 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5287 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5288 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5289 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5290 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5291 [Steve Henson]
5292
5293 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5294
5295 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5296 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5297 [Steve Henson]
5298
5299 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5300 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5301
5302 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5303 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5304 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5305 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5306 [Douglas Stebila]
5307
5308 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5309 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5310 [Steve Henson]
5311
5312 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5313 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5314 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5315 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5316 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5317 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5318 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5319 can't be loaded.
5320 [Steve Henson]
5321
5322 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5323 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5324 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5325 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5326 [Steve Henson]
5327
5328 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5329 under VC++ build system.
5330 [Steve Henson]
5331
5332 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5333 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5334 [Richard Levitte]
5335
5336 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5337
5338 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5339 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5340 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5341 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5342 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5343
5344 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5345 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5346 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5347
5348 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5349 [Steve Henson]
5350
5351 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5352 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5353 [Nils Larsch]
5354
5355 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5356 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5357
5358 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5359 [Nick Mathewson]
5360
5361 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5362 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5363
5364 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5365 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5366 [Steve Henson]
5367
5368 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5369 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5370 smime utility.
5371 [Steve Henson]
5372
5373 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5374
5375 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5376 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5377
5378 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5379 [Richard Levitte]
5380
5381 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5382 key into the same file any more.
5383 [Richard Levitte]
5384
5385 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5386 [Andy Polyakov]
5387
5388 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5389 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]

5391 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5392 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5393 [Richard Levitte]
5394
5395 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5396 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5397 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5398 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5399 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5400 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5401
5402 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5403 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5404 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5405 [Steve Henson]
5406
5407 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5408 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5409 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5410 - add new function for parameter creation
5411 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5412 BN_BLINDING parameters
5413 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5414 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5415 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5416 threads.
5417 [Nils Larsch]
5418
5419 *) Add support for DTLS.
5420 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5421
5422 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5423 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5424 [Walter Goulet]
5425
5426 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5427 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5428 [Nils Larsch]
5429
5430 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5431 the apps/openssl applications.
5432 [Nils Larsch]
5433
5434 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5435 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5436 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5437 [Ben Laurie]
5438
5439 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5440 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5441
5442 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5443 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5444
5445 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5446 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5447 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5448 avoid this algorithm.)
5449
5450 [Bodo Moeller]
5451
5452 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5453 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5454 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5455 [Richard Levitte]
5456
5457 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5458 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5459 [Andy Polyakov]
5460
5461 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5462 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5463 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5464 pod file:
5465
5466 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5467
5468 The blank line is mandatory.
5469
5470 [Steve Henson]
5471
5472 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5473 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5474 sources.
5475 [Steve Henson]
5476
5477 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5478 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5479
5480 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5481 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5482 to support policy checking and print out.
5483 [Steve Henson]
5484
5485 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5486 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5487 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5488 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5489
5490 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5491 [Geoff Thorpe]
5492
5493 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5494 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5495
5496 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5497 implementation contributed by IBM.
5498 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5499
5500 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5501 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5502 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5503 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5504
5505 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5506 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5507
5508 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5509 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5510 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5511 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5512 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5513 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5514 [Steve Henson]
5515
5516 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5517 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5518 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5519 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5520 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5521 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5522 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5523 [Geoff Thorpe]
5524
5525 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5526 [Steve Henson]
5527
5528 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5529 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5530 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5531 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5532 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5533 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5534 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5535 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5536 [Steve Henson]
5537
5538 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5539 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5540 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5541 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5542 [Steve Henson]
5543
5544 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5545 syntax:
5546
5547 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5548 [Steve Henson]
5549
5550 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5551 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5552 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5553 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5554 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5555 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5556 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5557 [Geoff Thorpe]
5558
5559 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5560 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5561 [Geoff Thorpe]
5562
5563 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5564 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5565 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5566 [Steve Henson]
5567
5568 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5569 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5570 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5571 below).
5572 [Geoff Thorpe]
5573
5574 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5575 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5576 [Richard Levitte]
5577
5578 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5579 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5580 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5581 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5582 [Geoff Thorpe]
5583
5584 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5585 initialised value as BN_new().
5586 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5587
5588 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5589 [Steve Henson]
5590
5591 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5592 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5593 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5594 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5595 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5596 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5597 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5598 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5599 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5600 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5601 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5602 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5603 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5604 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5605 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5606
5607 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5608 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5609 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5610 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5611 [Geoff Thorpe]
5612
5613 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5614 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5615 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5616 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5617 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5618 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5619 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5620 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5621 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5622 [Geoff Thorpe]
5623
5624 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5625 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5626 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5627 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5628 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5629 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5630 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5631 [Geoff Thorpe]
5632
5633 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5634 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5635 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5636 these have been updated also.
5637 [Geoff Thorpe]
5638
5639 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5640 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5641 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5642 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5643 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5644 functions.
5645 [Steve Henson]
5646
5647 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5648 structure of type "other".
5649 [Steve Henson]
5650
5651 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5652 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5653 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5654 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5655 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5656 situation in the script.
5657 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5658
5659 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5660 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5661 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5662 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5663 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5664 used as premaster secret.
5665 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5666
5667 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5668 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5669 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5670
5671 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5672 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5673
5674 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5675 control of the error stack.
5676 [Richard Levitte]
5677
5678 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5679 [Richard Levitte]
5680
5681 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5682 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5683 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5684 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5685 [Richard Levitte]
5686
5687 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5688 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5689 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5690 [Richard Levitte]
5691
5692 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5693 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5694 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5695 a memory area.
5696 [Richard Levitte]
5697
5698 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5699 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5700 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5701 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5702 [Richard Levitte]
5703
5704 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5705 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5706 the following flags are defined:
5707
5708 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5709 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5710 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5711 number.
5712
5713 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5714 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5715 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5716 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5717 returns zero.
5718 [Richard Levitte]
5719
5720 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5721 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5722 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5723 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5724 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5725 [Richard Levitte]
5726
5727 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5728 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5729 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5730 [Richard Levitte]
5731
5732 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5733 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5734 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5735 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5736 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5737 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5738 [Richard Levitte]
5739
5740 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5741 req and dirName.
5742 [Steve Henson]
5743
5744 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5745 [Steve Henson]
5746
5747 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5748 [Steve Henson]
5749
5750 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5751 [Steve Henson]
5752
5753 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5754 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5755 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5756 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5757 default implementation more easily.
5758 [Geoff Thorpe]
5759
5760 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5761 in config files.
5762 [Steve Henson]
5763
5764 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5765 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5766 [Richard Levitte]
5767
5768 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5769 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5770 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5771 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5772
5773 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5774 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5775 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5776 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5777 [Steve Henson]
5778
5779 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5780 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5781 to do it.
5782 [Richard Levitte]
5783
5784 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5785 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5786 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5787 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5788 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5789 scalar * generator).
5790 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5791
5792 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5793 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5794 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5795 correctly.
5796 [Steve Henson]
5797
5798 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5799 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5800 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5801 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5802 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5803 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5804 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5805 linker additions, eg;
5806 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5807 [Geoff Thorpe]
5808
5809 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5810 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5811 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5812 [Geoff Thorpe]
5813
5814 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5815 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5816 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5817 via PR#459)
5818 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5819
5820 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5821 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5822 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5823 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5824 [Geoff Thorpe]
5825
5826 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5827 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5828 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5829 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5830 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5831 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5832 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5833 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5834 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5835 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5836
5837 Example for using the new callback interface:
5838
5839 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5840 void *my_arg = ...;
5841 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5842
5843 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5844
5845 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5846 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5847 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5848 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5849 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5850 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5851 */
5852
5853 [Geoff Thorpe]
5854
5855 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5856 available to TLS with the number defined in
5857 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5858 [Richard Levitte]
5859
5860 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5861 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5862
5863 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5864 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5865 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5866 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5867
5868 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5869 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5870
5871 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5872 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5873 well.
5874 [Richard Levitte]
5875
5876 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5877 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5878 [Richard Levitte]
5879
5880 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5881 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5882 and a macro that behave like
5883 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5884
5885 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5886 [Nils Larsch]
5887
5888 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5889 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5890 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5891 if applicable.
5892 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5893
5894 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5895 [Bodo Moeller]
5896
5897 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5898 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5899 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5900 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5901 directory engines/.
5902 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5903 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5904 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5905 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5906 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5907 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5908 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5909 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5910
5911 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5912 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5913 [Richard Levitte]
5914
5915 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5916 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5917
5918 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5919 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5920 files while avoiding the low level API.
5921
5922 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5923 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5924 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5925 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5926
5927 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5928 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5929 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5930 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5931 instead of the low level API.
5932 [Steve Henson]
5933
5934 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5935 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5936 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5937 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5938 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5939 PKCS#7 code.
5940
5941 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5942 down to the template encoder.
5943 [Steve Henson]
5944
5945 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5946 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5947 [Bodo Moeller]
5948
5949 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5950 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5951 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5952 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5953
5954 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5955 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5956
5957 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5958 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5959
5960 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5961 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5962 [Bodo Moeller]
5963
5964 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5965 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5966 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5967 [Bodo Moeller]
5968
5969 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5970 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5971
5972 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5973 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5974
5975 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5976 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5977 New EC_METHOD:
5978
5979 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5980
5981 New API functions:
5982
5983 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5984 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5985 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5986 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5987 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5988 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5989
5990 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5991 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5992 enable it).
5993
5994 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5995 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5996 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5997 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5998 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5999 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6000 various internal method names.)
6001
6002 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6003 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6004
6005 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6006 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6007
6008 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6009 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6010
6011 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6012 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6013 methods are undefined.
6014
6015 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6016 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6017
6018 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6019 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6020 length of the modulus.
6021
6022 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6023 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6024
6025 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6026 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6027
6028 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6029 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6030
6031 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6032 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6033 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6034
6035 BN_GF2m_add
6036 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6037 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6038 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6039 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6040 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6041 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6042 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6043 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6044 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6045
6046 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6047 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6048
6049 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6050 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6051 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6052 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6053 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6054 where
6055 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6056 This applies to the following functions:
6057
6058 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6059 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6060 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6061 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6062 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6063 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6064 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6065 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6066 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6067 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6068
6069 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6070
6071 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6072 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6073
6074 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6075
6076 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6077 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6078 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6079 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6080 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6081
6082 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6083 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6084
6085 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6086 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6087 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6088
6089 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6090 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6091
6092 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6093 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6094 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6095 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6096 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6097
6098 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6099 functions
6100 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6101 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6102 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6103 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6104 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6105 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6106 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6107 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6108 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6109 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6110 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6111 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6112
6113 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6114 functions
6115 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6116 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6117 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6118 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6119 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6120
6121 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6122 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6123 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6124 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6125
6126 *) Add functions
6127 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6128 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6129 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6130 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6131 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6132 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6133 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6134
6135 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6136 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6137 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6138 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6139 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6140 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6141 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6142 adding different types of curves.
6143 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6144
6145 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6146 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6147 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6148 [Bodo Moeller]
6149
6150 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6151 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6152
6153 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6154 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6155 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6156 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6157
6158 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6159
6160 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6161 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6162
6163 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6164 library. Most notably,
6165 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6166 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6167 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6168 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6169 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6170 extracted before the specific public key;
6171 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6172 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6173
6174 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6175 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6176 function
6177 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6178 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6179 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6180 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6181 accessed via
6182 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6183 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6184 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6185
6186 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6187 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6188 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6189 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6190 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6191 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6192 differing sizes.
6193 [Richard Levitte]
6194
6195 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6196
6197 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6198 sensitive data.
6199 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6200
6201 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6202 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6203 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6204 [Bodo Moeller]
6205
6206 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6207 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6208 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6209 [Victor Duchovni]
6210
6211 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6212 [Steve Henson]
6213
6214 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6215 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6216 [Steve Henson]
6217
6218 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6219 run algorithm test programs.
6220 [Steve Henson]
6221
6222 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6223 [Steve Henson]
6224
6225 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6226 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6227 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6228 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6229 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6230 [Bodo Moeller]
6231
6232 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6233 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6234 [Steve Henson]
6235
6236 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6237
6238 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6239 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6240 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6241
6242 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6243 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6244
6245 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6246 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6247
6248 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6249 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6250 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6251
6252 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6253 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6254 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6255 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6256 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6257 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6258 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6259 [Bodo Moeller]
6260
6261 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6262
6263 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6264 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6265
6266 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6267 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6268 undesirable limitations.
6269 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6270
6271 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6272
6273 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6274 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6275 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6276
6277 The latter two were purportedly from
6278 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6279 appear there.
6280
6281 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6282 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6283 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6284 [Bodo Moeller]
6285
6286 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6287 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6288 [Bodo Moeller]
6289
6290 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6291
6292 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6293 module in FIPS mode.
6294 [Steve Henson]
6295
6296 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6297 [Steve Henson]
6298
6299 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6300 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6301 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6302 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6303 [Steve Henson]
6304
6305 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6306
6307 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6308 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6309 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6310 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6311 the difference induced by this change.
6312 [Andy Polyakov]
6313
6314 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6315
6316 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6317 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6318 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6319 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6320 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6321
6322 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6323 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6324 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6325
6326 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6327 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6328 [Steve Henson]
6329
6330 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6331 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6332 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6333 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6334 biased k.)
6335 [Bodo Moeller]
6336
6337 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6338 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6339 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6340 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6341 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6342
6343 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6344 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6345 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6346 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6347 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6348 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6349
6350 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6351
6352 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6353 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6354 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6355 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6356 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6357 [Bodo Moeller]
6358
6359 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6360 clients need.
6361 [Steve Henson]
6362
6363 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6364 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6365 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6366 [Steve Henson]
6367
6368 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6369 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6370 structures constant.
6371 [Steve Henson]
6372
6373 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6374
6375 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6376 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6377
6378 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6379 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6380 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6381 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6382 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6383 some needed definitions.
6384 [Steve Henson]
6385
6386 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6387 [Ulf Möller]
6388
6389 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6390 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6391 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6392 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6393 [Richard Levitte]
6394
6395 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6396
6397 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6398 server and client random values. Previously
6399 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6400 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6401
6402 This change has negligible security impact because:
6403
6404 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6405 data.
6406
6407 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6408 handshake.
6409
6410 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6411 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6412 values.
6413
6414 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6415 to our attention.
6416
6417 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6418
6419 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6420 [Ulf Möller]
6421
6422 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6423 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6424 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6425
6426 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6427 [Steve Henson]
6428
6429 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6430 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6431 [Andy Polyakov]
6432
6433 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6434 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6435 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6436
6437 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6438 [Steve Henson]
6439
6440 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6441 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6442 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6443 certificates.
6444 [Steve Henson]
6445
6446 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6447 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6448 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6449 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6450
6451 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6452 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6453 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6454 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6455 been given)
6456 [Richard Levitte]
6457
6458 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6459
6460 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6461 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6462 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6463 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6464 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6465 [Steve Henson]
6466
6467 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6468 [Steve Henson]
6469
6470 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6471 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6472
6473 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6474 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6475 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6476 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6477 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6478 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6479 rather than being initialized to 1.
6480 [Steve Henson]
6481
6482 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6483
6484 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6485 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6486 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6487
6488 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6489 (CVE-2004-0112)
6490 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6491
6492 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6493 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6494 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6495 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6496 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6497 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6498 [Richard Levitte]
6499
6500 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6501 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6502 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6503 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6504 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6505 for these cases.
6506 [Steve Henson]
6507
6508 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6509 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6510 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6511 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6512 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6513 [Steve Henson]
6514
6515 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6516 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6517 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6518 < 0.9.7.
6519 [Steve Henson]
6520
6521 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6522 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6523
6524 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6525 [Steve Henson]
6526
6527 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6528
6529 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6530
6531 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6532 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6533
6534 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6535
6536 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6537 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6538
6539 [Steve Henson]
6540
6541 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6542 exiting on the first error in a request.
6543 [Steve Henson]
6544
6545 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6546 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6547 specifications.
6548 [Steve Henson]
6549
6550 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6551 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6552 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6553 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6554
6555 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6556 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6557 [Richard Levitte]
6558
6559 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6560 blocks during encryption.
6561 [Richard Levitte]
6562
6563 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6564 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6565 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6566 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6567 certain size.
6568 [Steve Henson]
6569
6570 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6571 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6572 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6573 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6574 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6575 parser.
6576 [Steve Henson]
6577
6578 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6579
6580 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6581 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6582 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6583 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6584 [Bodo Moeller]
6585
6586 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6587 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6588 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6589 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6590 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6591
6592 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6593 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6594 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6595 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6596 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6597 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6598 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6599 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6600 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6601 [Bodo Moeller]
6602
6603 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6604 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6605 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6606 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6607 [Geoff Thorpe]
6608
6609 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6610 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6611 [Ulf Moeller]
6612
6613 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6614
6615 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6616 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6617 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6618 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6619 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6620
6621 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6622 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6623 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6624
6625 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6626 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6627 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6628 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6629 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6630
6631 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6632 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6633 used by default when no-err is given.
6634 [Richard Levitte]
6635
6636 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6637 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6638
6639 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6640 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6641 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6642 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6643 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6644
6645 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6646 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6647 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6648 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6649
6650 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6651
6652 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6653
6654 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6655
6656 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6657 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6658 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6659 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6660 root is omitted).
6661 [Steve Henson]
6662
6663 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6664 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6665
6666 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6667 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6668 [Steve Henson]
6669
6670 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6671 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6672 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6673 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6674 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6675
6676 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6677 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6678 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6679 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6680 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6681 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6682 followup to PR #377.
6683 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6684
6685 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6686 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6687 [Andy Polyakov]
6688
6689 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6690 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6691 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6692 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6693
6694 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6695
6696 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6697 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6698
6699 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6700 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6701 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6702 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6703 client and server.
6704 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6705 PR #377.
6706 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6707
6708 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6709 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6710 removed entirely.
6711 [Richard Levitte]
6712
6713 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6714 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6715 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6716 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6717 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6718 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6719 of libcrypto.
6720 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6721 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6722 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6723 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6724 have to be made anyway).
6725 [Richard Levitte]
6726
6727 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6728 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6729 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6730 [Steve Henson]
6731
6732 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6733 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6734 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6735 [Richard Levitte]
6736
6737 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6738 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6739 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6740
6741 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6742 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6743 edit numbers of the version.
6744 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6745
6746 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6747 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6748 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6749
6750 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6751 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6752
6753 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6754 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6755 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6756
6757 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6758 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6759
6760 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6761 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6762
6763 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6764 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6765
6766 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6767 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6768
6769 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6770 overflows.
6771 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6772
6773 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6774 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6775 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6776
6777 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6778 representations in a platform independent manner.
6779 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6780
6781 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6782 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6783 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6784
6785 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6786 indents.
6787 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6788
6789 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6790 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6791
6792 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6793 full. Fixed.
6794 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6795
6796 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6797 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6798 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6799
6800 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6801 unconditionally).
6802 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6803
6804 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6805 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6806
6807 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6808 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6809
6810 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6811 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6812
6813 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6814 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6815
6816 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6817 CBCParameter.
6818 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6819
6820 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6821 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6822
6823 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6824 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6825
6826 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6827 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6828 exploitable.
6829 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6830
6831 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6832 the 0.9.6 release series:
6833
6834 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6835 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6836 (CVE-2002-0657)
6837 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6838
6839 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6840 [Richard Levitte]
6841
6842 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6843 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6844
6845 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6846 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6847
6848 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6849 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6850 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6851 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6852
6853 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6854 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6855 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6856
6857 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6858 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6859 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6860 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6861
6862 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6863 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6864 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6865 some local tweaks:
6866
6867 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6868 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6869 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6870 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6871 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6872 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6873 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6874 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6875 done
6876
6877 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6878 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6879 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6880 [Richard Levitte]
6881
6882 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6883 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6884 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6885 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6886 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6887
6888 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6889 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6890
6891 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6892 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6893 [Richard Levitte]
6894
6895 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6896 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6897 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6898 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6899 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6900 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6901 [Steve Henson]
6902
6903 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6904 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6905 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6906 [Steve Henson]
6907
6908 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6909 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6910 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6911
6912 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6913 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6914 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6915 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6916 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6917 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6918 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6919 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6920
6921 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6922 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6923 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6924 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6925 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6926 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
6927 [Steve Henson]
6928
6929 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6930 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6931 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6932 declaration has been changed from
6933 int (*cb)()
6934 into
6935 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6936 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6937 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6938 has been changed into
6939 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6940
6941 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6942 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6943 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6944
6945 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6946 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6947
6948 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6949 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6950 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6951 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6952 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6953 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6954 always load it have also been added.
6955 [Steve Henson]
6956
6957 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6958 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6959 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6960
6961 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6962
6963 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6964 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6965 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6966
6967 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6968 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6969 command line option can be used to specify an
6970 alternative file.
6971 [Steve Henson]
6972
6973 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6974 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6975 [Steve Henson]
6976
6977 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6978 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6979 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6980 [Steve Henson]
6981
6982 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6983 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6984 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6985 to work with the new engine framework.
6986 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6987
6988 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6989 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6990 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6991 to work with the new engine framework.
6992 [Richard Levitte]
6993
6994 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6995 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6996 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6997
6998 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6999 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7000
7001 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7002 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7003 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7004 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7005 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7006 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7007
7008 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7009 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7010
7011 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7012 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7013
7014 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7015 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7016 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7017 [Ben Laurie]
7018
7019 *) Add new functions
7020 ERR_peek_last_error
7021 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7022 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7023 These are similar to
7024 ERR_peek_error
7025 ERR_peek_error_line
7026 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7027 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7028 still in the error queue.
7029 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7030
7031 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7032 like:
7033 default_algorithms = ALL
7034 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7035 [Steve Henson]
7036
7037 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7038 [Steve Henson]
7039
7040 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7041 [Steve Henson]
7042
7043 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7044 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7045 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7046 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7047
7048 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7049 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7050
7051 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7052 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7053
7054 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7055 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7056 [Bodo Moeller]
7057
7058 *) New functions/macros
7059
7060 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7061 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7062 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7063 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7064
7065 to request calling a callback function
7066
7067 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7068 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7069
7070 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7071 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7072 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7073 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7074 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7075 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7076 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7077 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7078 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7079 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7080
7081 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7082 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7083 [Bodo Moeller]
7084
7085 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7086 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7087 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7088 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7089 the configuration scripts.
7090
7091 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7092 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7093 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7094
7095 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7096 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7097
7098 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7099 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7100 when reusing an existing buffer.
7101 [Bodo Moeller]
7102
7103 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7104 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7105 [Steve Henson]
7106
7107 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7108 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7109 [Ben Laurie]
7110
7111 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7112 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7113 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7114 has the same effect.
7115 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7116
7117 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7118 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7119 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7120 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7121 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7122 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7123 exception.
7124
7125 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7126 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7127 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7128 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7129
7130 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7131 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7132 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7133 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7134
7135 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7136 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7137 won't work.
7138
7139 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7140 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7141 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7142 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7143 default), and then completely removed.
7144 [Richard Levitte]
7145
7146 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7147 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7148 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7149 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7150 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7151 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7152 particular extension is supported.
7153 [Steve Henson]
7154
7155 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7156 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7157 [Steve Henson]
7158
7159 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7160 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7161 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7162 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7163 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7164 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7165 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7166 requires the destination to be valid.
7167
7168 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7169 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7170 [Steve Henson]
7171
7172 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7173 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7174 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7175 [Bodo Moeller]
7176
7177 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7178 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7179
7180 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7181 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7182 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7183 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7184 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7185 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7186 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7187 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7188 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7189 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7190 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7191 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7192 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7193 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7194 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7195 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7196 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7197 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7198 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7199 the new code.
7200 [Geoff Thorpe]
7201
7202 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7203 [Steve Henson]
7204
7205 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7206 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7207 become part of libeay.num as well.
7208 [Richard Levitte]
7209
7210 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7211 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7212 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7213 false once a handshake has been completed.
7214 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7215 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7216 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7217 client has followed the request.)
7218 [Bodo Moeller]
7219
7220 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7221 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7222 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7223 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7224
7225 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7226 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7227 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7228 [Bodo Moeller]
7229
7230 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7231 [Steve Henson]
7232
7233 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7234 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7235 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7236 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7237
7238 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7239 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7240 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7241
7242 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7243 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7244 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7245 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7246 [Geoff Thorpe]
7247
7248 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7249 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7250 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7251 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7252 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7253 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7254 [Geoff Thorpe]
7255
7256 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7257 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7258 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7259 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7260 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7261 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7262 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7263 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7264 [Geoff Thorpe]
7265
7266 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7267 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7268 [Geoff Thorpe]
7269
7270 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7271 [Ben Laurie]
7272
7273 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7274 md_data void pointer.
7275 [Ben Laurie]
7276
7277 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7278 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7279 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7280 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7281 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7282 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7283 [Ben Laurie]
7284
7285 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7286 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7287 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7288 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7289 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7290 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7291 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7292 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7293 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7294 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7295 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7296 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7297 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7298 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7299 rather than letting it slide.
7300
7301 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7302 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7303 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7304 [Geoff Thorpe]
7305
7306 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7307 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7308 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7309 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7310 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7311 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7312 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7313 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7314 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7315 [Geoff Thorpe]
7316
7317 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7318 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7319 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7320 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7321 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7322
7323 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7324 [Geoff Thorpe]
7325
7326 *) Add EVP test program.
7327 [Ben Laurie]
7328
7329 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7330 [Ben Laurie]
7331
7332 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7333 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7334 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7335 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7336 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7337 [Steve Henson]
7338
7339 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7340 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7341 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7342 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7343 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7344 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7345 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7346
7347 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7348 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7349 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7350 Usage example:
7351
7352 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7353
7354 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7355 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7356 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7357 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7358 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7359
7360 [Ben Laurie]
7361
7362 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7363 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7364 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7365 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7366 anyway): E.g.,
7367
7368 des_key_schedule ks;
7369
7370 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7371 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7372
7373 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7374 [Ben Laurie]
7375
7376 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7377 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7378 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7379 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7380 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7381 functions prevents this.
7382 [Steve Henson]
7383
7384 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7385 [Ben Laurie]
7386
7387 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7388 correct _ecb suffix.
7389 [Ben Laurie]
7390
7391 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7392 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7393 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7394 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7395 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7396 [Steve Henson]
7397
7398 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7399 [Richard Levitte]
7400
7401 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7402 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7403 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7404 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7405
7406 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7407 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7408
7409 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7410 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7411 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7412 via Richard Levitte]
7413
7414 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7415 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7416 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7417 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7418 [Geoff Thorpe]
7419
7420 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7421 Before:
7422 encrypt
7423 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7424 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
7425 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
7426 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
7427 decrypt
7428 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
7429 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
7430 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
7431 After:
7432 encrypt
7433 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
7434 decrypt
7435 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
7436 [Ben Laurie]
7437
7438 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7439 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7440
7441 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7442 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7443 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7444 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7445 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7446 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7447 [Steve Henson]
7448
7449 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7450 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7451 [Richard Levitte]
7452
7453 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7454 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7455 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7456 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7457
7458 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7459 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7460 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7461 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7462 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7463 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7464 callback.
7465 [Richard Levitte]
7466
7467 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7468 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7469 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7470 and interrupts/cancellations.
7471 [Richard Levitte]
7472
7473 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7474 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7475 [Steve Henson]
7476
7477 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7478 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7479 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7480
7481 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7482 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7483 kind of callback.
7484 [Richard Levitte]
7485
7486 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7487 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7488 than this minimum value is recommended.
7489 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7490
7491 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7492 that are easily reachable.
7493 [Richard Levitte]
7494
7495 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7496 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7497
7498 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7499
7500 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7501 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7502 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7503 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7504 [Steve Henson]
7505
7506 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7507 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7508 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7509 [Steve Henson]
7510
7511 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7512 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7513 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7514 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7515 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7516 internally such as S/MIME.
7517
7518 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7519 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7520 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7521
7522 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7523 applications.
7524 [Steve Henson]
7525
7526 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7527 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7528 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7529 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7530
7531 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7532
7533 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7534
7535 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7536 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7537 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7538 handling.
7539 [Steve Henson]
7540
7541 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7542 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7543 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7544 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7545 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7546 a window system and the like.
7547 [Richard Levitte]
7548
7549 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7550 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7551 [Geoff]
7552
7553 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7554 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7555 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7556 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7557 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7558 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7559 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7560 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7561 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7562 ENGINE structure.
7563 [Geoff]
7564
7565 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7566 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7567 tag cache.
7568 [Steve Henson]
7569
7570 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7571 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7572 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7573 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7574 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7575 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7576 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7577 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7578 [Geoff]
7579
7580 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7581 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7582 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7583 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7584 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7585 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7586 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7587 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7588 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7589 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7590 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7591 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7592 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7593 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7594 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7595 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7596 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7597 [Geoff]
7598
7599 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7600 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7601 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7602 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7603 internal engine_int.h header.
7604 [Geoff]
7605
7606 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7607 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7608 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7609 modify their own ones).
7610 [Geoff]
7611
7612 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7613 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7614 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7615 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7616 later on via ctrl() commands.
7617 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7618 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7619 structural references.
7620 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7621 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7622 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7623 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7624 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7625 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7626 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7627 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7628 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7629 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7630 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7631 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7632 [Geoff]
7633
7634 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7635 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7636 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7637 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7638 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7639 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7640 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7641 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7642 [Bodo Moeller]
7643
7644 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7645 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7646 [Steve Henson]
7647
7648 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7649 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7650 [Steve Henson]
7651
7652 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7653 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7654 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7655 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7656 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7657 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7658 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7659 [Steve Henson]
7660
7661 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7662 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7663 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7664 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7665 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7666
7667 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7668 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7669 generator).
7670 [Bodo Moeller]
7671
7672 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7673
7674 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7675 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7676 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7677
7678 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7679 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7680
7681 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7682 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7683 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7684
7685 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7686 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7687
7688 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7689 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7690
7691 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7692
7693 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7694 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7695 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7696 [Bodo Moeller]
7697
7698 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7699 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7700 [Richard Levitte]
7701
7702 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7703 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7704 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7705 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7706 is 40 of more characters long.
7707 [Steve Henson]
7708
7709 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7710 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7711 pointers.
7712 [Steve Henson]
7713
7714 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7715 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7716 [Bodo Moeller]
7717
7718 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7719 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7720 might.
7721 [Steve Henson]
7722
7723 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7724
7725 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7726 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7727
7728 ASN1 error codes
7729 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7730 ...
7731 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7732 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7733 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7734 ...
7735 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7736 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7737
7738 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7739 [Bodo Moeller]
7740
7741 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7742 suffices.
7743 [Bodo Moeller]
7744
7745 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7746 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7747 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7748 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7749 and
7750 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7751
7752 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7753 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7754
7755 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7756 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7757 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7758 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7759 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7760 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7761
7762 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7763 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7764
7765 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7766 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7767
7768 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7769 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7770
7771 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7772 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7773 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7774 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7775
7776 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7777 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7778
7779 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7780 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7781
7782 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7783 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7784 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7785 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7786 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7787 [Richard Levitte]
7788
7789 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7790 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7791 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7792 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7793 [Steve Henson]
7794
7795 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7796 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7797 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7798 trust settings.
7799 [Steve Henson]
7800
7801 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7802 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7803 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7804 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7805 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7806 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7807 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7808 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7809 ocsp utility.
7810 [Steve Henson]
7811
7812 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7813 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7814 [Steve Henson]
7815
7816 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7817 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7818 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7819 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7820 [Steve Henson]
7821
7822 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7823 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7824 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7825 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7826 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7827 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7828 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7829 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7830 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7831 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7832 [Steve Henson]
7833
7834 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7835 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7836 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7837 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7838 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7839 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7840 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7841 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7842
7843 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7844 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7845 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7846 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7847 [Richard Levitte]
7848
7849 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7850 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7851 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7852 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7853 opensslconf.h.
7854 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7855 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7856 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7857 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7858 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7859 what is available.
7860 [Richard Levitte]
7861
7862 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7863 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7864 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7865 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7866 auto incremented.
7867 [Steve Henson]
7868
7869 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7870 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7871 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7872 [Steve Henson]
7873
7874 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7875 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7876 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7877 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7878 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7879 [Steve Henson]
7880
7881 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7882 [Steve Henson]
7883
7884 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7885 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7886 option to ocsp utility.
7887 [Steve Henson]
7888
7889 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7890 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7891 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7892 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7893 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7894 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7895 the request is nonce-less.
7896 [Steve Henson]
7897
7898 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7899 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7900 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7901 [Bodo Moeller]
7902
7903 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7904 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7905 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7906 [Steve Henson]
7907
7908 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7909 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7910 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7911 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7912 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7913 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7914
7915 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7916 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7917 appear to exist.
7918 [Steve Henson]
7919
7920 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7921 additional certificates supplied.
7922 [Steve Henson]
7923
7924 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7925 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7926 signature against.
7927 [Richard Levitte]
7928
7929 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7930 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7931 AES OIDs.
7932
7933 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7934 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7935 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7936 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7937 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7938 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7939 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7940 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7941 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7942
7943 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7944 request to response.
7945 [Steve Henson]
7946
7947 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7948 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7949 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7950 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7951 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7952 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7953 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7954 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7955 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7956 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7957 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7958 [Steve Henson]
7959
7960 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7961 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7962 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7963 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7964 [Steve Henson]
7965
7966 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7967 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7968
7969 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7970 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7971 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7972 [Steve Henson]
7973
7974 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7975 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7976 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7977 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7978 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7979
7980 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7981 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7982 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7983 [Steve Henson]
7984
7985 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7986 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7987 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7988 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7989 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7990 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7991 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7992 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7993
7994 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7995 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7996 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7997 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7998 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7999 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8000 [Steve Henson]
8001
8002 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8003 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8004 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8005 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8006 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8007 printout format cleaned up.
8008 [Steve Henson]
8009
8010 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8011 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8012 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8013 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8014 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8015 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8016 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8017 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8018 [Steve Henson]
8019
8020 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8021 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8022 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8023 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8024 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8025 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8026 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8027 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8028 [Steve Henson]
8029
8030 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8031 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8032 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8033 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8034 section to use.
8035 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8036
8037 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8038 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8039 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8040 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8041 [Steve Henson]
8042
8043 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8044 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8045 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8046 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8047 in the index file.
8048 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8049
8050 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8051 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8052 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8053 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8054
8055 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8056 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8057
8058 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8059 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8060 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8061 [Steve Henson]
8062
8063 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8064 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8065 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8066 [Bodo Moeller]
8067
8068 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8069 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8070 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8071 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8072 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8073 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8074 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8075 functions are provided:
8076
8077 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8078 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8079 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8080 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8081
8082 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8083 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8084 extended allocation function is enabled.
8085 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8086 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8087 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8088
8089 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8090 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8091 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8092 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8093 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8094 [Geoff Thorpe]
8095
8096 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8097 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8098 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8099 be queried.
8100 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8101 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8102 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8103 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8104
8105 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8106 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8107 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8108 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8109 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8110 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8111 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8112 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8113 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8114 [Richard Levitte]
8115
8116 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8117 provide utility functions which an application needing
8118 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8119 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8120 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8121
8122 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8123 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8124 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8125 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8126 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8127 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8128 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8129 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8130 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8131
8132 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8133 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8134 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8135 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8136 [Steve Henson]
8137
8138 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8139 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8140 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8141 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8142 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8143 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8144 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8145 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8146 will be added elsewhere.
8147 [Steve Henson]
8148
8149 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8150 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8151 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8152 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8153 [Steve Henson]
8154
8155 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8156 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8157 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8158 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8159 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8160 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8161 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8162 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8163 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8164 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8165 to produce the required SET OF.
8166 [Steve Henson]
8167
8168 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8169 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8170 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8171 [Richard Levitte]
8172
8173 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8174 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8175 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8176 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8177 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8178 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8179 [Steve Henson]
8180
8181 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8182 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8183 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8184 [Steve Henson]
8185
8186 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8187 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8188 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8189 [Richard Levitte]
8190
8191 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8192 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8193 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8194 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8195 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8196 [Steve Henson]
8197
8198 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8199 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8200 [Steve Henson]
8201
8202 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8203 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8204 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8205 certificates and CRLs.
8206 [Steve Henson]
8207
8208 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8209 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8210 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8211 [Steve Henson]
8212
8213 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8214 entries for variables.
8215 [Steve Henson]
8216
8217 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8218 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8219 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8220 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8221 [Bodo Moeller]
8222
8223 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8224 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8225 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8226 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8227 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8228 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8229 [Bodo Moeller]
8230
8231 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8232 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8233
8234 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8235 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8236 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8237 [Steve Henson]
8238
8239 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8240 print routines.
8241 [Steve Henson]
8242
8243 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8244 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8245 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8246 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8247 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8248 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8249 [Steve Henson]
8250
8251 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8252 [Steve Henson]
8253
8254 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8255 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8256 for now but they will eventually go away.
8257 [Steve Henson]
8258
8259 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8260 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8261 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8262 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8263 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8264 has also been converted to the new form.
8265 [Steve Henson]
8266
8267 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8268 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8269 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8270 for negative moduli.
8271 [Bodo Moeller]
8272
8273 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8274 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8275 [Bodo Moeller]
8276
8277 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8278 set.
8279 [Bodo Moeller]
8280
8281 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8282 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8283 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8284 type-specific callbacks.
8285 [Geoff Thorpe]
8286
8287 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8288 RFC 2712.
8289 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8290 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8291
8292 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8293 in sections depending on the subject.
8294 [Richard Levitte]
8295
8296 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8297 Windows.
8298 [Richard Levitte]
8299
8300 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8301 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8302 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8303 be handled deterministically).
8304 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8305
8306 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8307 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8308 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8309 [Bodo Moeller]
8310
8311 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8312 [Bodo Moeller]
8313
8314 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8315 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8316 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8317 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8318 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8319 [Bodo Moeller]
8320
8321 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8322 sign of the number in question.
8323
8324 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8325
8326 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8327 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8328 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8329 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8330 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8331 [Bodo Moeller]
8332
8333 *) New function BN_swap.
8334 [Bodo Moeller]
8335
8336 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8337 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8338 results on negative inputs.
8339 [Bodo Moeller]
8340
8341 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8342 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8343 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8344 [Bodo Moeller]
8345
8346 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8347 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8348 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8349 and add new functions:
8350
8351 BN_nnmod
8352 BN_mod_sqr
8353 BN_mod_add
8354 BN_mod_add_quick
8355 BN_mod_sub
8356 BN_mod_sub_quick
8357 BN_mod_lshift1
8358 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8359 BN_mod_lshift
8360 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8361
8362 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8363
8364 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8365 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8366
8367 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8368 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8369 be reduced modulo m.
8370 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8371
8372 #if 0
8373 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8374 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8375 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8376
8377 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8378 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8379 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8380 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8381 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8382 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8383 differing sizes.
8384 [Richard Levitte]
8385 #endif
8386
8387 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8388 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8389 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8390 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8391 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8392
8393 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8394 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8395 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8396 cause any problems.
8397 [Bodo Moeller]
8398
8399 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8400 [Richard Levitte]
8401
8402 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8403 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8404 [Richard Levitte]
8405
8406 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8407 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8408 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8409 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8410 time)
8411 [Richard Levitte]
8412
8413 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8414 [Richard Levitte]
8415
8416 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8417 [Richard Levitte]
8418
8419 *) Add the following functions:
8420
8421 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8422 ENGINE_load_chil()
8423 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8424 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8425 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8426
8427 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8428 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8429 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8430 libraries unless it's really needed.
8431
8432 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8433 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8434 declarations (they differed!).
8435 [Richard Levitte]
8436
8437 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8438 [Richard Levitte]
8439
8440 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8441 [Richard Levitte]
8442
8443 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8444 [Bodo Moeller]
8445
8446 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8447 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8448 [Richard Levitte]
8449
8450 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8451 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8452 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8453
8454 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8455 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8456 [Richard Levitte]
8457
8458 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8459 [Richard Levitte]
8460
8461 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8462 [Richard Levitte]
8463
8464 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8465 [Ben Laurie]
8466
8467 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8468 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8469 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8470
8471 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8472 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8473 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8474 different shared library filenames on each system.
8475 [Geoff Thorpe]
8476
8477 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8478 [Richard Levitte]
8479
8480 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8481 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8482 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8483 of two sections.
8484 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8485
8486 *) NCONF changes.
8487 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8488 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8489 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8490 binary backward compatibility.
8491 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8492 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8493 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8494 LDAP server.
8495 [Richard Levitte]
8496
8497 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8498 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8499 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8500 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8501 this case.
8502 [Steve Henson]
8503
8504 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8505 [Ben Laurie]
8506
8507 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8508 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8509 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8510 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8511 set.
8512 [Steve Henson]
8513
8514 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8515 [Richard Levitte]
8516
8517 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8518
8519 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8520 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8521 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8522
8523 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8524
8525 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8526
8527 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8528 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8529 [Steve Henson]
8530
8531 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8532
8533 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8534
8535 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8536 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8537
8538 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8539 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8540
8541 [Steve Henson]
8542
8543 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8544 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8545 specifications.
8546 [Steve Henson]
8547
8548 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8549 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8550 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8551 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8552
8553 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8554 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8555 [Richard Levitte]
8556
8557 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8558
8559 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8560 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8561 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8562 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8563 [Bodo Moeller]
8564
8565 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8566 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8567 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8568 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8569 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8570
8571 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8572 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8573 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8574 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8575 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8576 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8577 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8578 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8579 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8580 [Bodo Moeller]
8581
8582 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8583
8584 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8585 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
8586 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8587 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8588 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8589
8590 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8591 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8592 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8593
8594 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8595
8596 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8597 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8598 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8599 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8600 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8601 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8602 [Geoff Thorpe]
8603
8604 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8605 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8606 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8607 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8608 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8609 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8610
8611 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8612 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8613 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8614
8615 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8616 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8617 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8618 EVP_cleanup().
8619 [Richard Levitte]
8620
8621 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8622 being properly terminated.
8623 [Richard Levitte]
8624
8625 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8626 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8627 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8628 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8629
8630 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8631 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8632 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8633 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8634 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8635 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8636 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8637 change.
8638 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8639
8640 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8641 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8642 [Bodo Moeller]
8643
8644 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8645 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8646 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8647 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8648 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8649 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8650 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8651 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8652
8653 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8654 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8655 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8656 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8657 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8658
8659 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8660 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8661 [Steve Henson]
8662
8663 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8664
8665 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8666 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8667 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8668
8669 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8670
8671 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8672 and get fix the header length calculation.
8673 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8674 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8675 Steve Henson]
8676
8677 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8678 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8679 assertions could call abort()).
8680 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8681
8682 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8683
8684 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8685 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8686 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8687 supplied buffer.
8688 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8689
8690 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8691 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8692 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8693 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8694
8695 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8696 [Nils Larsch]
8697
8698 *) New option
8699 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8700 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8701 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8702
8703 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8704 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8705 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8706 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8707 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8708 applications.
8709 [Bodo Moeller]
8710
8711 *) Changes in security patch:
8712
8713 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8714 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8715 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8716 F30602-01-2-0537.
8717
8718 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8719 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8720 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8721 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8722 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8723
8724 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8725 happen in practice.
8726 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8727
8728 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8729 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8730 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8731
8732 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8733 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8734 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8735
8736 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8737 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8738 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8739
8740 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8741
8742 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8743 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8744 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8745
8746 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8747 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8748
8749 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8750 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8751 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8752 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8753 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8754 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8755 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8756
8757 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8758 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8759 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8760 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8761 [Bodo Moeller]
8762
8763 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8764 [Bodo Moeller]
8765
8766 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8767 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8768 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8769 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8770 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8771 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8772
8773 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8774 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8775 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8776 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8777 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8778 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8779
8780 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8781 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8782 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8783 BN_generate_prime().)
8784
8785 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8786 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8787 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8788 better.
8789 [Bodo Moeller]
8790
8791 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8792 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8793 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8794
8795 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8796 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8797 when using non-blocking I/O.
8798 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8799
8800 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8801 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8802
8803 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8804 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8805 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8806
8807 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8808 configuration for the versions before that.
8809 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8810
8811 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8812 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8813 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8814 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8815 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8816
8817 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8818 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8819 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8820 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8821
8822 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8823 value is 0.
8824 [Richard Levitte]
8825
8826 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8827 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8828 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8829
8830 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8831 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8832
8833 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8834 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8835 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8836 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8837 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8838 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8839 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8840 session cache.
8841
8842 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8843 using a local variable.
8844 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8845
8846 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8847 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8848 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8849
8850 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8851 [Richard Levitte]
8852
8853 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8854 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8855
8856 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8857 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8858 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8859
8860 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8861
8862 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8863 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8864 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8865 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8866 [Bodo Moeller]
8867
8868 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8869 present.
8870 [Steve Henson]
8871
8872 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8873 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8874 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8875 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8876 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8877
8878 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8879 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8880 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8881
8882 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8883 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8884 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8885
8886 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8887 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8888 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8889 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8890
8891 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8892 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8893 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8894 modules).
8895 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8896
8897 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8898 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8899 from 0.9.7.
8900 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8901
8902 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8903 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8904 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8905 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8906
8907 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8908 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8909 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8910 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8911
8912 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8913 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8914
8915 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8916 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8917 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8918 [Bodo Moeller]
8919
8920 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8921 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8922 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8923 become invalid.
8924 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8925
8926 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8927 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8928 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8929 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8930 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8931 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8932 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8933 [Bodo Moeller]
8934
8935 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8936 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8937 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8938 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8939
8940 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8941 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8942 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8943 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8944 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8945 the client will at least see that alert.
8946 [Bodo Moeller]
8947
8948 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8949 correctly.
8950 [Bodo Moeller]
8951
8952 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8953 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8954 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8955
8956 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8957 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8958 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8959 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8960 HelloRequest.
8961
8962 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8963 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8964 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8965
8966 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8967 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8968 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8969 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8970 may leak via logfiles.)
8971
8972 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8973 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8974 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8975 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8976 the legal range.
8977 [Bodo Moeller]
8978
8979 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8980 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8981 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8982
8983 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8984 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8985 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8986 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8987 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8988 [Bodo Moeller]
8989
8990 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8991 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8992
8993 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8994 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8995 followed by modular reduction.
8996 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8997
8998 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8999 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9000 [Bodo Moeller]
9001
9002 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9003 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9004 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9005 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9006 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9007
9008 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9009 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9010
9011 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9012 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9013 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9014
9015 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9016 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9017 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9018 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9019 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9020 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9021 automatically.
9022 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9023
9024 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9025 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9026 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9027 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9028 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9029
9030 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9031 [Andy Polyakov]
9032
9033 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9034 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9035 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9036 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9037 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9038 to allow the necessary settings.
9039 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9040
9041 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9042 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9043 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9044 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9045 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9046
9047 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9048 dh->length and always used
9049
9050 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9051
9052 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9053 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9054 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9055 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9056 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9057 dh->length.
9058
9059 So switch back to
9060
9061 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9062
9063 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9064 otherwise.
9065 [Bodo Moeller]
9066
9067 *) In
9068
9069 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9070 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9071 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9072 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9073
9074 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9075 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9076 always reject numbers >= n.
9077 [Bodo Moeller]
9078
9079 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9080 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9081 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9082 variable) is not atomic.
9083 [Bodo Moeller]
9084
9085 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9086 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9087 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9088 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9089
9090 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9091 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9092
9093 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9094 little-endian MIPS.
9095 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9096
9097 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9098 [Richard Levitte]
9099
9100 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9101
9102 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9103 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9104 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9105 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9106 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9107 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9108 to traverse all of 'state'.
9109
9110 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9111 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9112 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9113
9114 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9115 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9116
9117 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9118 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9119 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9120 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9121 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9122 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9123 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9124 further strengthens the PRNG.
9125 [Bodo Moeller]
9126
9127 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9128 [Andy Polyakov]
9129
9130 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9131 an error message in this case.
9132 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9133
9134 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9135 [Steve Henson]
9136
9137 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9138 positive and less than q.
9139 [Bodo Moeller]
9140
9141 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9142 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9143 that itself.
9144 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9145
9146 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9147 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9148 [Bodo Moeller]
9149
9150 *) Fix OAEP check.
9151 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9152
9153 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9154 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9155 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9156 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9157 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9158 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9159 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9160 paper.)
9161
9162 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9163 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9164 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9165 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9166
9167 Both problems are now fixed.
9168 [Bodo Moeller]
9169
9170 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9171 (previously it was 1024).
9172 [Bodo Moeller]
9173
9174 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9175 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9176 [Steve Henson]
9177
9178 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9179 [Steve Henson]
9180
9181 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9182 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9183 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9184 [Steve Henson]
9185
9186 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9187 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9188 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9189 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9190 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9191 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9192 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9193 environment variables.
9194
9195 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9196 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9197 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9198 [Bodo Moeller]
9199
9200 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9201 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9202 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9203 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9204 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9205 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9206 [Bodo Moeller]
9207
9208 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9209 versions of 'test'.
9210 [Bodo Moeller]
9211
9212 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9213
9214 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9215 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9216
9217 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9218 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9219 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9220 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9221 CygWin.
9222 [Richard Levitte]
9223
9224 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9225 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9226 amount of data available.
9227 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9228 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9229
9230 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9231 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9232 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9233 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9234 [Bodo Moeller]
9235
9236 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9237 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9238 and UnixWare.
9239 [Richard Levitte]
9240
9241 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9242 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9243 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9244 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9245 [Ulf Moeller]
9246
9247 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9248 [Andy Polyakov]
9249
9250 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9251 [Richard Levitte]
9252
9253 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9254 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9255 [Steve Henson]
9256 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9257
9258 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9259 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9260 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9261 (but broken) behaviour.
9262 [Steve Henson]
9263
9264 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9265 it when found.
9266 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9267
9268 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9269 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9270 [Bodo Moeller]
9271
9272 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9273 did not exist.
9274 [Bodo Moeller]
9275
9276 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9277 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9278
9279 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9280 [Richard Levitte]
9281
9282 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9283 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9284 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9285
9286 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9287 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9288 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9289 [Steve Henson]
9290
9291 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9292 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9293 [Ulf Moeller]
9294
9295 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9296 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9297
9298 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9299
9300 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9301
9302 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9303 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9304 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9305 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9306 [Bodo Moeller]
9307
9308 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9309 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9310
9311 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9312 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9313 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9314
9315 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9316 was empty.
9317 [Steve Henson]
9318 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9319
9320 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9321 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9322 but the code is actually correct.
9323 [Steve Henson]
9324
9325 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9326 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9327 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9328 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9329 and leaves the highest bit random.
9330 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9331
9332 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9333 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9334 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9335 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9336 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9337 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9338 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9339 [Bodo Moeller]
9340
9341 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9342 [Ulf Moeller]
9343
9344 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9345 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9346 [Steve Henson]
9347
9348 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9349 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9350 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9351 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9352 headers.
9353 [Richard Levitte]
9354
9355 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9356 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9357 and break the signature.
9358 [Steve Henson]
9359 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9360
9361 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9362 DH ciphersuites.
9363 [Steve Henson]
9364
9365 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9366 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9367 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9368 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9369 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9370 [Bodo Moeller]
9371
9372 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9373 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9374
9375 *) ./config script fixes.
9376 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9377
9378 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9379 [Bodo Moeller]
9380
9381 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9382 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9383 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9384 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9385 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9386
9387 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9388 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9389 [Bodo Moeller]
9390
9391 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9392 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9393 [Steve Henson]
9394
9395 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9396 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9397 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9398 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9399
9400 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9401 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9402
9403 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9404 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9405 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9406 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9407 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9408
9409 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9410 [Bodo Moeller]
9411
9412 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9413 [Ulf Möller]
9414
9415 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9416 [Ulf Möller]
9417
9418 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9419 [Bodo Moeller]
9420
9421 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9422 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9423 [Bodo Moeller]
9424
9425 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9426 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9427 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9428 result of the server certificate verification.)
9429 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9430
9431 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9432 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9433 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9434 [Bodo Moeller]
9435
9436 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9437 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9438 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9439 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9440 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9441 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9442 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9443 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9444 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9445 [Bodo Moeller]
9446
9447 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9448 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9449 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9450 happening the other way round.
9451 [Geoff Thorpe]
9452
9453 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9454 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9455 [Bodo Moeller]
9456
9457 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9458 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9459 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9460 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9461 [Richard Levitte]
9462
9463 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9464 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9465
9466 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9467
9468 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9469 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9470 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9471 that.
9472
9473 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9474
9475 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9476
9477 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9478 static ones.
9479 [Richard Levitte]
9480
9481 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9482
9483 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9484 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9485 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9486 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9487 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9488
9489 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9490 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9491 matter what.
9492 [Richard Levitte]
9493
9494 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9495 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9496
9497 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9498
9499 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9500 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9501 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9502 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9503 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9504 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9505 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9506 by the Finished messages.
9507 [Bodo Moeller]
9508
9509 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9510 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9511
9512 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9513 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9514 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9515 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9516 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9517 appropriately.
9518 [Steve Henson]
9519
9520 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9521 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9522 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9523 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9524 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9525 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9526 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9527 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9528 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9529 together.
9530 [Steve Henson]
9531
9532 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9533 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9534 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9535 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9536
9537 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9538 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9539 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9540 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9541 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9542 the answer.
9543
9544 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9545 been tested well enough.
9546 [Richard Levitte]
9547
9548 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9549 it can return incorrect results.
9550 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9551 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9552 [Bodo Moeller]
9553
9554 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9555 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9556 include zero length content when signing messages.
9557 [Steve Henson]
9558
9559 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9560 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9561 [Bodo Möller]
9562
9563 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9564 [Richard Levitte]
9565
9566 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9567 wrong sign.
9568 [Ulf Möller]
9569
9570 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9571 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9572 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9573 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9574 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9575 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9576 [Richard Levitte]
9577
9578 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9579 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9580
9581 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9582 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9583
9584 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9585 random number < q in the DSA library.
9586 [Ulf Möller]
9587
9588 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9589 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9590 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9591 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9592 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9593 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9594 just makes things more complicated.)
9595 [Bodo Moeller]
9596
9597 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9598 from EGD.
9599 [Ben Laurie]
9600
9601 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9602 work better on such systems.
9603 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9604
9605 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9606 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9607 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9608 [Steve Henson]
9609
9610 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9611 if there was more than one signature.
9612 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9613
9614 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9615 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9616 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9617 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9618 [Richard Levitte]
9619
9620 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9621 rather than always using the current time.
9622 [Steve Henson]
9623
9624 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9625 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9626 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9627 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9628 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9629 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9630
9631 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9632 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9633
9634 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9635
9636 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9637 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9638 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9639 the same hash value.
9640
9641 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9642 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9643 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9644 with X509_STORE internally.
9645
9646 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9647 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9648
9649 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9650 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9651 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9652 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9653 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9654 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9655 entirely (maybe later...).
9656
9657 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9658
9659 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9660 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9661 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9662 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9663 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9664 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9665 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9666 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9667
9668 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9669 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9670
9671 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9672 to customise the verify behaviour.
9673 [Steve Henson]
9674
9675 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9676 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9677 [Steve Henson]
9678
9679 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9680 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9681 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9682 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9683 request is improperly encoded.
9684 [Steve Henson]
9685
9686 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9687 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9688 BIO_write(b, ...).
9689
9690 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9691 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9692
9693 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9694 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9695 words set to zero.)
9696 [Bodo Moeller]
9697
9698 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9699 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9700 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9701 [Bodo Moeller]
9702
9703 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9704 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9705 BIO/fp routines also added.
9706 [Steve Henson]
9707
9708 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9709 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9710
9711 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9712 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9713 demos/state_machine.
9714 [Ben Laurie]
9715
9716 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9717 generation and verification.
9718 [Steve Henson]
9719
9720 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9721 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9722 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9723 encode and decode it manually.
9724 [Steve Henson]
9725
9726 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9727 compile under VC++.
9728 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9729
9730 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9731 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9732 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9733 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9734
9735 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9736 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9737 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9738 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9739 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9740 [Steve Henson]
9741
9742 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9743 [Richard Levitte]
9744
9745 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
9746 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9747 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9748
9749 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9750 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9751 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9752 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9753 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9754 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9755 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9756 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9757
9758 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9759 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9760
9761 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9762
9763 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9764 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9765 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9766
9767 [Richard Levitte]
9768
9769 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9770 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9771 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9772 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9773 [Richard Levitte]
9774
9775 *) MD4 implemented.
9776 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9777
9778 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9779 [Richard Levitte]
9780
9781 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9782 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9783 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9784 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9785 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9786 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9787 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9788 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9789 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9790 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9791 short or long names are found.
9792 [Steve Henson]
9793
9794 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9795 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9796
9797 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9798 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9799 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9800 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9801
9802 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9803 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9804 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9805 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9806 [Bodo Moeller]
9807
9808 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9809 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9810 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9811 [Richard Levitte]
9812
9813 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9814 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9815 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9816 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9817 to allow the various flags to be set.
9818 [Steve Henson]
9819
9820 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9821 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9822 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9823 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9824 dates to be checked.
9825 [Steve Henson]
9826
9827 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9828 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9829 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9830 [Steve Henson]
9831
9832 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9833 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9834 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9835 [Steve Henson]
9836
9837 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9838 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9839 [Bodo Moeller]
9840
9841 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9842 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9843 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9844 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9845 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9846 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9847 [Richard Levitte]
9848
9849 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9850 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9851 Random Numbers.
9852 [Ulf Möller]
9853
9854 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9855 DSA key.
9856 [Steve Henson]
9857
9858 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9859 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9860 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9861 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9862 form signing output easier to verify.
9863 [Steve Henson]
9864
9865 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9866 [Steve Henson]
9867
9868 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9869 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9870 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9871 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9872 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9873 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9874 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9875 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9876 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9877 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9878 [Steve Henson]
9879
9880 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9881
9882 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9883 the syntax given in objects.README.
9884 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9885 obj_mac.h.
9886 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9887 obj_mac.h.
9888
9889 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9890 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9891 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9892 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9893 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9894 consistent name changes.
9895 [Richard Levitte]
9896
9897 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9898 [Bodo Moeller]
9899
9900 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9901 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9902 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9903 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9904 [Richard Levitte]
9905
9906 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9907 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9908 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9909 of safestack.h .
9910 [Steve Henson]
9911
9912 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9913 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9914 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9915 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9916 [Steve Henson]
9917
9918 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9919 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9920 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9921 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9922 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9923 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9924 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9925 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9926 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9927 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9928 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9929 [Steve Henson]
9930
9931 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9932 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9933 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9934 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9935 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9936 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9937 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9938 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9939 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9940 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9941 [Steve Henson]
9942
9943 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9944 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9945 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9946 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9947
9948 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9949 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9950 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9951 omit any duplicate addresses.
9952 [Steve Henson]
9953
9954 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9955 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9956 [Bodo Moeller]
9957
9958 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9959 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9960 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9961 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9962 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9963 [Bodo Moeller]
9964
9965 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9966 software:
9967 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9968 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9969 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9970 Free => OPENSSL_free
9971 [Richard Levitte]
9972
9973 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9974 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9975 [Bodo Moeller]
9976
9977 *) CygWin32 support.
9978 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9979
9980 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9981 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9982 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9983 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9984 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9985 approach.
9986 [Geoff Thorpe]
9987
9988 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9989 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9990 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9991 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9992 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9993 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9994 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9995 [Geoff Thorpe]
9996
9997 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9998 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9999 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10000 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10001 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10002 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10003 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10004 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10005 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10006 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10007 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10008 [Bodo Moeller]
10009
10010 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10011 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10012 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10013 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10014 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10015
10016 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10017 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10018 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10019 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10020 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10021
10022 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10023 ciphers.
10024
10025 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10026 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10027 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10028 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10029
10030 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10031
10032 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10033 of macros.
10034
10035 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10036 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10037 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10038 flags.
10039
10040 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10041 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10042 any installed hardware versions can.
10043 [Steve Henson]
10044
10045 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10046 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10047 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10048 number.
10049 [Bodo Moeller]
10050
10051 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10052 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10053 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10054 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10055 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10056
10057 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10058 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10059 [Steve Henson]
10060
10061 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10062 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10063 [Richard Levitte]
10064
10065 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10066 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10067 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10068 features.
10069 [Steve Henson]
10070
10071 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10072 [Ulf Möller]
10073
10074 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10075 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10076 but no ssl client purpose.
10077 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10078
10079 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10080 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10081 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10082 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10083 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10084 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10085 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10086 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10087 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10088 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10089 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10090 [Steve Henson]
10091
10092 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10093 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10094 be obtained from the error queue.
10095 [Bodo Moeller]
10096
10097 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10098 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10099 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10100 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10101 [Bodo Moeller]
10102
10103 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10104 [Ulf Möller]
10105
10106 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10107 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10108 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10109 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10110 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10111 [Geoff Thorpe]
10112
10113 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10114 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10115 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10116 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10117 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10118 [Geoff Thorpe]
10119
10120 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10121 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10122 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10123 may not be NULL.
10124 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10125
10126 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10127 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10128 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10129 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10130 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10131 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10132 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10133 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10134 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10135 or "the configuration storage API"...
10136
10137 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10138
10139 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10140 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10141
10142 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10143
10144 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10145
10146 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10147 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10148 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10149 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10150 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10151 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10152 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10153
10154 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10155 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10156 [Richard Levitte]
10157
10158 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10159 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10160 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10161 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10162 [Bodo Moeller]
10163
10164 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10165 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10166 them in a portable way.
10167 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10168
10169 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10170
10171 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10172
10173 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10174 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10175
10176 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10177 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10178 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10179 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10180
10181 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10182 was larger than the MD block size.
10183 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10184
10185 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10186 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10187 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10188 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10189 components.
10190 [Steve Henson]
10191
10192 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10193 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10194 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10195
10196 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10197 discouraged.
10198 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10199
10200 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10201 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10202 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10203 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10204 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10205 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10206
10207 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10208 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10209
10210 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10211 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10212 [Bodo Moeller]
10213
10214 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10215 [Bodo Moeller]
10216
10217 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10218 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10219 its own key.
10220 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10221 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10222 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10223 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10224 [Bodo Moeller]
10225
10226 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10227 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10228 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10229 does not suppress any output.
10230 [Richard Levitte]
10231
10232 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10233 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10234 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10235 with all the associated security issues.
10236
10237 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10238 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10239 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10240 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10241 use the value in the default purpose.
10242 [Steve Henson]
10243
10244 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10245 and fix a memory leak.
10246 [Steve Henson]
10247
10248 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10249 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10250 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10251 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10252 [Bodo Moeller]
10253
10254 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10255 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10256 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10257 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10258 [Bodo Moeller]
10259
10260 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10261 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10262 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10263 [Bodo Moeller]
10264
10265 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10266 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10267 [Bodo Moeller]
10268
10269 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10270 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10271 which was free.
10272 [Steve Henson]
10273
10274 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10275 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10276 [Bodo Moeller]
10277
10278 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10279 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10280 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10281 [Bodo Moeller]
10282
10283 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10284 number generation fails.
10285 [Bodo Moeller]
10286
10287 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10288 [Bodo Moeller]
10289
10290 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10291 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10292
10293 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10294 [Ulf Möller]
10295
10296 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10297 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10298
10299 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10300 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10301
10302 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10303
10304 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10305 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10306 [Steve Henson]
10307
10308 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10309 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10310
10311 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10312 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10313 [Ulf Möller]
10314
10315 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10316 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10317 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10318 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10319 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10320 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10321
10322 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10323 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10324 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10325 for example.
10326 [Steve Henson]
10327
10328 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10329 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10330 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10331 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10332 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10333 counter, some don't.)
10334 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10335 counters or duplicate objects.
10336 [Steve Henson]
10337
10338 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10339 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10340 [Steve Henson]
10341
10342 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10343 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10344 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10345
10346 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10347 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10348 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10349 or -rand.
10350 [Ulf Möller]
10351
10352 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10353 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10354 [Steve Henson]
10355
10356 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10357 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10358 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10359 cipher list.
10360 [Steve Henson]
10361
10362 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10363 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10364 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10365 [Steve Henson]
10366
10367 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10368 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10369 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10370 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10371 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10372 should work without changes.
10373 [Richard Levitte]
10374
10375 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10376 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10377 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10378 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10379 must be defined. E.g.,
10380 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10381 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10382 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10383 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10384
10385 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10386 record layer.
10387 [Bodo Moeller]
10388
10389 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10390 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10391 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10392 [Steve Henson]
10393
10394 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10395 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10396 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10397 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10398 [Steve Henson]
10399
10400 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10401 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10402 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10403 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10404 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10405 is prompted for as usual.
10406 [Steve Henson]
10407
10408 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10409 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10410 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10411 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10412
10413 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10414 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10415 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10416 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10417 [Steve Henson]
10418
10419 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10420 [Andy Polyakov]
10421
10422 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10423 of seed file.
10424 [Steve Henson]
10425
10426 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10427 [Bodo Moeller]
10428
10429 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10430 [Steve Henson]
10431
10432 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10433 bits.
10434 [Ulf Möller]
10435
10436 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10437 [Ulf Möller]
10438
10439 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10440 [Andy Polyakov]
10441
10442 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10443 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10444 [Ulf Möller]
10445
10446 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10447 options to produce them.
10448 [Steve Henson]
10449
10450 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10451 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10452 [Ulf Möller]
10453
10454 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10455 for p == 0.
10456 [Ulf Möller]
10457
10458 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10459 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10460 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10461 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10462 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10463 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10464 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10465 [Steve Henson]
10466
10467 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10468 [Steve Henson]
10469
10470 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10471 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10472 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10473 [Bodo Moeller]
10474
10475 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10476 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10477
10478 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10479 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10480 [Ulf Möller]
10481
10482 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10483 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10484 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10485 has already seen).
10486 [Bodo Moeller]
10487
10488 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10489 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10490
10491 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10492 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10493 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10494 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10495 generation becomes much faster.
10496
10497 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10498 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10499 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10500 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10501 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10502 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10503 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10504 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10505 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10506 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10507 [Bodo Moeller]
10508
10509 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10510 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10511 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10512 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10513 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10514 trial division stage.
10515 [Bodo Moeller]
10516
10517 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10518 as ASN1_TIME.
10519 [Steve Henson]
10520
10521 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10522 [Steve Henson]
10523
10524 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10525 [Ulf Möller]
10526
10527 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10528 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10529 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10530 the comments.
10531 [Ulf Möller]
10532
10533 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10534 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10535 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10536 [Bodo Moeller]
10537
10538 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10539 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10540 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10541 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10542
10543 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10544 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10545 [Steve Henson]
10546
10547 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10548 [Ulf Möller]
10549
10550 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10551 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10552 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10553 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10554 [Ulf Möller]
10555
10556 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10557 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10558 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10559 [Ulf Möller]
10560
10561 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10562 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10563 (instead of parameters) in future.
10564 [Steve Henson]
10565
10566 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10567 when a new cipher list is set.
10568 [Steve Henson]
10569
10570 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10571 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10572 wrong.
10573
10574 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10575 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10576 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10577
10578 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10579 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10580 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10581 an error is flagged.
10582
10583 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10584 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10585 the readability was also increased :-)
10586 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10587
10588 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10589 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10590 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10591 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10592 as the root CA.
10593 [Steve Henson]
10594
10595 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10596 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10597 [Steve Henson]
10598
10599 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10600 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10601 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10602 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10603 instead.
10604
10605 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10606 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10607 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10608 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10609 because they handle more complex structures.)
10610 [Steve Henson]
10611
10612 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10613 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10614 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10615 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10616
10617 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10618 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10619 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10620 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10621 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10622 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10623 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10624 [Ulf Möller]
10625
10626 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10627 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10628 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10629 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10630 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10631 [Bodo Moeller]
10632
10633 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10634 [Bodo Moeller]
10635
10636 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10637 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10638 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10639 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10640 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10641 to use this.
10642
10643 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10644 code.
10645 [Steve Henson]
10646
10647 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10648 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10649 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10650 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10651 [Steve Henson]
10652
10653 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10654 [Ulf Möller]
10655
10656 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10657 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10658 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10659 international characters are used.
10660
10661 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10662 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10663 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10664 in ASN1 order.
10665 [Steve Henson]
10666
10667 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10668 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10669 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10670 request.
10671
10672 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10673 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10674 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10675 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10676 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10677 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10678
10679 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10680 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10681 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10682 be handled by the string table functions.
10683
10684 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10685 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10686 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10687 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10688 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10689 types at all.
10690 [Steve Henson]
10691
10692 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10693 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10694 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10695 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10696 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10697
10698 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10699 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10700 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10701 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10702 [Bodo Moeller]
10703
10704 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10705 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10706 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10707 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10708 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10709 SHA1.
10710 [Andy Polyakov]
10711
10712 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10713 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10714 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10715 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10716 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10717 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10718 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10719 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10720
10721 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10722 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10723 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10724 [Steve Henson]
10725
10726 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10727 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10728 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10729 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10730 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10731 support to pkcs8 application.
10732 [Steve Henson]
10733
10734 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10735 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10736 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10737 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10738 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10739 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10740 [Bodo Moeller]
10741
10742 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10743 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10744 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10745 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10746 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10747 consistency.
10748 [Bodo Moeller]
10749
10750 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10751 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10752 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10753 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10754 example.
10755 [Steve Henson]
10756
10757 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10758 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10759 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10760 and any application specific purposes.
10761
10762 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10763 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10764 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10765 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10766 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10767 if the certificate is self signed.
10768 [Steve Henson]
10769
10770 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10771 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10772 [Steve Henson]
10773
10774 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10775 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10776 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10777 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10778 [Steve Henson]
10779
10780 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10781 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10782 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10783 Update documentation.
10784 [Steve Henson]
10785
10786 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10787 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10788 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10789 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10790 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10791 [Steve Henson]
10792
10793 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10794 for details.
10795 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10796
10797 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10798 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10799 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10800 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10801 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10802 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10803 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10804 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10805 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10806 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10807
10808 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10809
10810 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10811 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10812 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10813 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10814 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10815
10816 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10817 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10818 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10819 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10820 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10821 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10822 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10823 request additional information:
10824 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10825 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10826
10827 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10828 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10829 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10830 options.
10831
10832 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10833 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10834
10835 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10836 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10837 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10838
10839 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10840 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10841
10842 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10843 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10844 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10845 algorithm.
10846 [Steve Henson]
10847
10848 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10849 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10850 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10851
10852 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10853 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10854 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10855 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10856 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10857 included in OpenSSL.
10858 [Steve Henson]
10859
10860 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10861 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10862 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10863 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10864 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10865 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10866 [Bodo Moeller]
10867
10868 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10869 PKCS12 structure.
10870 [Steve Henson]
10871
10872 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10873 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10874 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10875 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10876 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10877 structure.
10878 [Steve Henson]
10879
10880 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10881 need initialising.
10882 [Steve Henson]
10883
10884 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10885 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10886 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10887 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10888 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10889 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10890 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10891 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10892 be maintained manually.
10893
10894 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10895 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10896 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10897 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10898 work because people forget to call this function]
10899 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10900 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10901 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10902 [Steve Henson]
10903
10904 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10905 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10906 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10907 should be discouraged from doing it.
10908 [Ben Laurie]
10909
10910 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10911 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10912 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10913 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10914 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10915 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10916 [Steve Henson]
10917
10918 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10919 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10920 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10921
10922 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10923 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10924 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10925
10926 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10927 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10928 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10929 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10930 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10931 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10932
10933 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10934 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10935 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10936
10937 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10938 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10939 and vice versa.
10940
10941 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10942 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10943 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10944 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10945 [Steve Henson]
10946
10947 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10948 [Steve Henson]
10949
10950 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10951 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10952 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10953 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10954 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10955 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10956 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10957 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10958 keys so we should be OK.
10959
10960 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10961 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10962 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10963 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10964 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10965 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10966 stay in the name of compatibility.
10967
10968 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10969 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10970 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10971
10972 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10973 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10974 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10975 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10976 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10977 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10978 supplied key).
10979 [Steve Henson]
10980
10981 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10982 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10983 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10984 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10985 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10986 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10987 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10988 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10989 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10990 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10991 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10992 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10993 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10994 [Steve Henson]
10995
10996 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10997 [Steve Henson]
10998
10999 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11000 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11001 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11002 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11003 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11004 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11005 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11006 openssl verify ss.pem
11007 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11008 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11009 is OK.
11010 [Steve Henson]
11011
11012 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11013 (and add it to external session representation).
11014 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11015 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11016 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11017 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11018 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11019 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11020 security holes.
11021 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11022
11023 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11024 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11025 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11026 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11027
11028 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11029 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11030 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11031 [Steve Henson]
11032
11033 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11034 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11035 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11036 code.
11037 [Steve Henson]
11038
11039 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11040 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11041 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11042
11043 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11044 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11045 certificate auxiliary information.
11046 [Steve Henson]
11047
11048 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11049 the 'enc' command.
11050 [Steve Henson]
11051
11052 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11053 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11054 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11055 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11056 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11057 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11058 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11059 [Richard Levitte]
11060
11061 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11062 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11063 [Steve Henson]
11064
11065 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11066 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11067 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11068 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11069 [Steve Henson]
11070
11071 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11072 [Steve Henson]
11073
11074 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11075 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11076 [Steve Henson]
11077
11078 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11079 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11080 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11081 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11082 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11083 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11084 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11085 using the new 'x509' options.
11086
11087 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11088 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11089 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11090 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11091 for all purposes.
11092 [Steve Henson]
11093
11094 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11095 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11096 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11097 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11098 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11099 [Mark Cox]
11100
11101 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11102 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11103 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11104 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11105 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11106 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11107 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11108 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11109 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11110 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11111 [Steve Henson]
11112
11113 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11114 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11115 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11116 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11117 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11118 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11119 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11120 [Steve Henson]
11121
11122 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11123 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11124 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11125 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11126 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11127 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11128 openssl.cnf for more info.
11129 [Steve Henson]
11130
11131 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11132 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11133 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11134 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11135 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11136 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11137 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11138 md should be large enough anyway.
11139 [Bodo Moeller]
11140
11141 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11142 for handling the random seed file.
11143
11144 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11145 ca,
11146 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11147 s_client,
11148 s_server,
11149 x509 (when signing).
11150 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11151 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11152 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11153
11154 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11155 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11156 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11157 that support '-rand'.
11158 [Bodo Moeller]
11159
11160 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11161 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11162 [Bodo Moeller]
11163
11164 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11165 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11166 [Bill Perry]
11167
11168 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11169 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11170 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11171 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11172 is suitable.
11173 [Steve Henson]
11174
11175 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11176 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11177 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11178 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11179 [Steve Henson]
11180
11181 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11182 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11183 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11184 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11185 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11186 print out all the purposes.
11187 [Steve Henson]
11188
11189 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11190 functions.
11191 [Steve Henson]
11192
11193 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11194 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11195 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11196 single function call.
11197 [Steve Henson]
11198
11199 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11200 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11201 [Andy Polyakov]
11202
11203 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11204 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11205 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11206 [Steve Henson]
11207
11208 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11209 when producing the local key id.
11210 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11211
11212 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11213 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11214 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11215 "server.pem".
11216 [Steve Henson]
11217
11218 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11219 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11220 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11221 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11222 [Steve Henson]
11223
11224 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11225 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11226 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11227 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11228
11229 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11230 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11231 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11232 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11233
11234 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11235 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11236 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11237 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11238 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11239 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11240 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11241 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11242 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11243 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11244 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11245 trivial: move one line.
11246 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11247
11248 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11249 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11250 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11251 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11252 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11253 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11254 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11255 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11256 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11257 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11258 with an event loop for example.
11259 [Steve Henson]
11260
11261 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11262 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11263 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11264 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11265 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11266 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11267 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11268 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11269 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11270 [Steve Henson]
11271
11272 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11273 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11274 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11275 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11276 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11277 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11278 [Steve Henson]
11279
11280 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11281 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11282 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11283 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11284
11285 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11286 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11287 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11288 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11289 key generation.
11290 [Steve Henson]
11291
11292 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11293 (still largely untested)
11294 [Bodo Moeller]
11295
11296 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11297 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11298 [Steve Henson]
11299
11300 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11301 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11302 [Steve Henson]
11303
11304 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11305 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11306 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11307 [Bodo Moeller]
11308
11309 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11310 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11311 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11312 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11313 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11314 [Steve Henson]
11315
11316 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11317 [Andy Polyakov]
11318
11319 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11320 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11321 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11322 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11323 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11324 in ca.
11325 [Steve Henson]
11326
11327 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11328 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11329 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11330 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11331 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11332 [Steve Henson]
11333
11334 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11335 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11336 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11337 are otherwise ignored at present.
11338 [Steve Henson]
11339
11340 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11341 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11342 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11343 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11344 copied until the next read.
11345 [Steve Henson]
11346
11347 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11348 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11349 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11350 [Steve Henson]
11351
11352 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11353 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11354 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11355 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11356 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11357 associated functions.
11358 [Steve Henson]
11359
11360 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11361 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11362 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11363 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11364 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11365 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11366 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11367 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11368 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11369 memory BIOs.
11370 [Steve Henson]
11371
11372 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11373 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11374 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11375 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11376 [Bodo Moeller]
11377
11378 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11379 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11380 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11381 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11382 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11383 functionality.
11384 [Steve Henson]
11385
11386 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11387 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11388 under Win32.
11389 [Steve Henson]
11390
11391 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11392 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11393 extensions to be obtained and added.
11394 [Steve Henson]
11395
11396 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11397 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11398 [Bodo Moeller]
11399
11400 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11401
11402 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11403 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11404
11405 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11406 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11407
11408 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11409 program.
11410 [Steve Henson]
11411
11412 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11413 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11414 DH parameters contain its length).
11415
11416 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11417 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11418 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11419 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11420 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11421 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11422 utter importance to use
11423 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11424 or
11425 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11426 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11427 attacks may become possible!
11428 [Bodo Moeller]
11429
11430 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11431 [Bodo Moeller]
11432
11433 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11434 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11435 [Steve Henson]
11436
11437 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11438 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11439 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11440 or long name.
11441 [Steve Henson]
11442
11443 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11444 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11445 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11446 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11447 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11448 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11449 private key operations.
11450 [Steve Henson]
11451
11452 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11453 [Andy Polyakov]
11454
11455 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11456 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11457 to
11458 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11459 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11460 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11461 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11462 the password callback is called.
11463 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11464
11465 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11466
11467 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11468 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11469 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11470 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11471 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11472 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11473 this will work.
11474
11475 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11476 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11477 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11478 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11479 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11480 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11481 [Bodo Moeller]
11482
11483 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11484 [Andy Polyakov]
11485
11486 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11487 delete an unused file.
11488 [Ulf Möller]
11489
11490 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11491 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11492 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11493 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11494 [Steve Henson]
11495
11496 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11497 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11498 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11499 of an error.
11500 [Bodo Moeller]
11501
11502 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11503 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11504 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11505
11506 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11507 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11508 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11509 comparison" warnings.
11510 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11511 [Steve Henson]
11512
11513 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11514 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11515 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11516 [Steve Henson]
11517
11518 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11519 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11520
11521 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11522 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11523
11524 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11525 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11526 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11527
11528 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11529 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11530 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11531 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11532 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11533 this bug.
11534 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11535
11536 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11537 The interface is as follows:
11538 Applications can use
11539 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11540 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11541 "off" is now the default.
11542 The library internally uses
11543 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11544 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11545 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11546
11547 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11548 even the default) are now avoided.
11549
11550 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11551 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11552 than just having a counter.
11553
11554 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11555
11556 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11557 extensions.
11558 [Bodo Moeller]
11559
11560 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11561 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11562 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11563 Initial "mode" flags are:
11564
11565 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11566 a single record has been written.
11567 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11568 retries use the same buffer location.
11569 (But all of the contents must be
11570 copied!)
11571 [Bodo Moeller]
11572
11573 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11574 worked.
11575
11576 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11577 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11578
11579 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11580 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11581 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11582 [Steve Henson]
11583
11584 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11585 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11586 test programs.
11587 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11588
11589 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11590 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11591 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11592 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11593 point to the end.
11594 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11595 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11596
11597 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11598 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11599 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11600 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11601 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11602 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11603 [Steve Henson]
11604
11605 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11606 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11607 necessary function names.
11608 [Steve Henson]
11609
11610 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11611 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11612 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11613 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11614 [Bodo Moeller]
11615
11616 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11617 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11618 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11619 [Steve Henson]
11620
11621 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11622 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11623 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11624 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11625 such programs?)
11626 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11627 need locks.
11628 [Bodo Moeller]
11629
11630 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11631 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11632 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11633 [Bodo Moeller]
11634
11635 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11636 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11637 appropriate.
11638 [Bodo Moeller]
11639
11640 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11641 for the encoded length.
11642 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11643
11644 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11645 [Steve Henson]
11646
11647 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11648 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11649 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11650 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11651 [Steve Henson]
11652
11653 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11654 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11655 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11656
11657 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11658 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11659 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11660 unusual formatting.
11661 [Steve Henson]
11662
11663 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11664 to use the new extension code.
11665 [Steve Henson]
11666
11667 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11668 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11669 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11670 constant.
11671 [Steve Henson]
11672
11673 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11674 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11675 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11676 [Bodo Moeller]
11677
11678 #if 0
11679 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11680 [Ben Laurie]
11681 #else
11682 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11683 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11684 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11685 #endif
11686
11687 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11688 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11689 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11690 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11691 [Ben Laurie]
11692
11693 *) DES library cleanups.
11694 [Ulf Möller]
11695
11696 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11697 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11698 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11699 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11700 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11701 of v2.0.
11702 [Steve Henson]
11703
11704 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11705 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11706 [Bodo Moeller]
11707
11708 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11709 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11710 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11711 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11712 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11713 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11714 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11715 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11716 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11717 [Steve Henson]
11718
11719 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11720 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11721 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11722 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11723 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11724 value doesn't matter.
11725 [Steve Henson]
11726
11727 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11728 support mutable.
11729 [Ben Laurie]
11730
11731 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11732 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11733 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11734 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11735
11736 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11737 [Ulf Möller]
11738
11739 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11740 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11741 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11742
11743 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11744 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11745
11746 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11747 [Ben Laurie]
11748
11749 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11750 [Ben Laurie]
11751
11752 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11753 [Ben Laurie]
11754
11755 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11756 [Bodo Moeller]
11757
11758
11759 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11760
11761 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11762
11763 *) Updated some demos.
11764 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11765
11766 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11767 [Wu Zhigang]
11768
11769 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11770 [Steve Henson]
11771
11772 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11773 [Steve Henson]
11774
11775 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11776 instead of using a fixed path.
11777 [Bodo Moeller]
11778
11779 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11780 [Andy Polyakov]
11781
11782 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11783 [Richard Levitte]
11784
11785
11786 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11787
11788 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11789 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11790 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11791
11792 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11793 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11794 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11795 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11796 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11797 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11798 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11799 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11800 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11801 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11802 [Steve Henson]
11803
11804 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11805 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11806 [Steve Henson]
11807
11808 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11809 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11810 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11811 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11812 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11813
11814 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11815 [Bodo Moeller]
11816
11817 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11818 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11819 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11820 [Steve Henson]
11821
11822 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11823 [Ben Laurie]
11824
11825 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11826 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11827 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11828 key elements as negative integers.
11829 [Steve Henson]
11830
11831 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11832 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11833
11834 *) VMS support.
11835 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11836
11837 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11838 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11839 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11840 [Steve Henson]
11841
11842 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11843 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11844 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11845 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11846 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11847 [Bodo Moeller]
11848
11849 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11850 [Ulf Möller]
11851
11852 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11853 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11854 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11855 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11856
11857 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11858 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11859 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11860
11861 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11862 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11863 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11864 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11865 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11866 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11867 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11868 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11869 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11870
11871 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11872 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11873 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11874 does not influence s as it used to.
11875
11876 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11877 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11878 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11879 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11880 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11881 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11882 [Bodo Moeller]
11883
11884 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11885 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11886 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11887 key type.
11888 [Steve Henson]
11889
11890 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11891 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11892 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11893 and 'x509').
11894 [Steve Henson]
11895
11896 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11897 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11898 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11899 extension option.
11900 [Steve Henson]
11901
11902 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11903 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11904 [Ben Laurie]
11905
11906 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11907 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11908
11909 *) Support Mingw32.
11910 [Ulf Möller]
11911
11912 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11913 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11914
11915 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11916 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11917
11918 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11919 [Ulf Möller]
11920
11921 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11922 [Anonymous]
11923
11924 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11925 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11926
11927 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11928 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11929 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11930 DER-encoded.)
11931 [Bodo Moeller]
11932
11933 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11934 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11935 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11936 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11937 now it really counts the depth.
11938 [Bodo Moeller]
11939
11940 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11941 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11942 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11943 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11944 didn't match the private key).
11945
11946 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11947 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11948 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11949 [Bodo Moeller]
11950
11951 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11952 [Ulf Möller]
11953
11954 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11955 David Harris.
11956 [Bodo Moeller]
11957
11958 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11959 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11960 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11961 [Bodo Moeller]
11962
11963 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11964 [Bodo Moeller]
11965
11966 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11967 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11968 such as /usr/local/bin.
11969 [Bodo Moeller]
11970
11971 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11972 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11973
11974 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11975 [Ulf Möller]
11976
11977 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11978 extension adding in x509 utility.
11979 [Steve Henson]
11980
11981 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11982 [Ulf Möller]
11983
11984 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11985 prototypes.
11986 [Steve Henson]
11987
11988 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11989 [Ulf Möller]
11990
11991 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11992 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11993 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11994 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11995 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11996 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11997 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11998 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11999 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12000 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12001 [Steve Henson]
12002
12003 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12004 [Bodo Moeller]
12005
12006 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12007 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12008 [Bodo Moeller]
12009
12010 *) Fix some race conditions.
12011 [Bodo Moeller]
12012
12013 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12014 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12015 [Steve Henson]
12016
12017 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12018 [Ulf Möller]
12019
12020 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12021 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12022 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12023 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12024
12025 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12026 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12027
12028 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12029 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12030 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12031
12032 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12033 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12034
12035 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12036 [Ulf Möller]
12037
12038 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12039 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12040
12041 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12042 [Ulf Möller]
12043
12044 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12045 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12046
12047 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12048 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12049 [Steve Henson]
12050
12051 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12052 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12053 [Ben Laurie]
12054
12055 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12056 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12057 [Steve Henson]
12058
12059 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12060 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12061 [Steve Henson]
12062
12063 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12064 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12065 [Steve Henson]
12066
12067 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12068 support typesafe stack.
12069 [Steve Henson]
12070
12071 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12072 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12073
12074 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12075 old X509V3 handling code.
12076 [Steve Henson]
12077
12078 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12079 [Ulf Möller]
12080
12081 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12082 [Bodo Moeller]
12083
12084 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12085 [Ben Laurie]
12086
12087 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12088 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12089
12090 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12091 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12092 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12093 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12094 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12095 [Ben Laurie]
12096
12097 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12098 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12099 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12100 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12101 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12102
12103 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12104 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12105 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12106 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12107
12108 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12109 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12110 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12111 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12112
12113 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12114 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12115 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12116 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12117 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12118 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12119 [Bodo Moeller]
12120
12121 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12122 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12123 [Bodo Moeller]
12124
12125 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12126 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12127 [Ulf Möller]
12128
12129 *) Tweaks to Configure
12130 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12131
12132 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12133 yet...
12134 [Steve Henson]
12135
12136 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12137 [Ulf Möller]
12138
12139 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12140 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12141 [Ulf Möller]
12142
12143 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12144 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12145 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12146 [Bodo Moeller]
12147
12148 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12149 [Bodo Moeller]
12150
12151 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12152 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12153 [Steve Henson]
12154
12155 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12156 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12157 to library startup routines.
12158 [Steve Henson]
12159
12160 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12161 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12162 codes along the way.
12163 [Steve Henson]
12164
12165 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12166 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12167 objects to objects.h
12168 [Steve Henson]
12169
12170 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12171 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12172 [Steve Henson]
12173
12174 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12175 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12176
12177 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12178 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12179 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12180
12181 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12182 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12183 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12184
12185 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12186 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12187 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12188
12189
12190 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12191
12192 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12193 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12194 [Ben Laurie]
12195
12196 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12197 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12198 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12199 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12200 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12201
12202 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12203 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12204 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12205 document.
12206 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12207
12208 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12209 Malloc, Free.
12210 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12211
12212 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12213 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12214
12215 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12216 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12217 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12218 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12219
12220 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12221 [Ben Laurie]
12222
12223 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12224 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12225 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12226 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12227 [Steve Henson]
12228
12229 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12230 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12231 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12232 [Steve Henson]
12233
12234 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12235 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12236 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12237 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12238 installed as `perl').
12239 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12240
12241 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12242 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12243
12244 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12245 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12246 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12247 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12248 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12249 [Steve Henson]
12250
12251 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12252 [Ben Laurie]
12253
12254 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12255 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12256 is horrible: I feel ill....
12257 [Steve Henson]
12258
12259 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12260 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12261 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12262 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12263 [Steve Henson]
12264
12265 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12266 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12267
12268 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12269 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12270 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12271 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12272
12273 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12274 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12275 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12276 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12277 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12278 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12279 openssl_bio.xs.
12280 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12281
12282 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12283 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12284
12285 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12286 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12287
12288 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12289 [Ben Laurie]
12290
12291 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12292 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12293 in CRLs.
12294 [Steve Henson]
12295
12296 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12297 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12298 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12299 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12300 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12301 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12302 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12303 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12304 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12305 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12306 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12307
12308 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12309 [Ben Laurie]
12310
12311 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12312 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12313 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12314 for linking it into DSOs.
12315 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12316
12317 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12318 Fixed.
12319 [Ben Laurie]
12320
12321 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12322 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12323 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12324 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12325 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12326 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12327
12328 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12329 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12330 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12331 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12332 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12333 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12334 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12335
12336 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12337 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12338 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12339 encryption.
12340 [Ben Laurie]
12341
12342 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12343 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12344 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12345 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12346 [Steve Henson]
12347
12348 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12349 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12350 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12351 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12352 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12353 field as blank.
12354 [Steve Henson]
12355
12356 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12357 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12358 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12359 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12360 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12361
12362 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12363 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12364 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12365
12366 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12367 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12368
12369 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12370 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12371 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12372 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12373 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12374 [Steve Henson]
12375
12376 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12377 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12378 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12379 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12380 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12381 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12382 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12383 [Ben Laurie]
12384
12385 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12386 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12387 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12388 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12389 [Ben Laurie]
12390
12391 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12392 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12393
12394 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12395 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12396 [Steve Henson]
12397
12398 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12399 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12400 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12401 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12402 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12403 (e.g. s_server).
12404 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12405 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12406 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12407 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12408 no way to reconfigure them.
12409 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12410 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12411 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12412 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12413 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12414 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12415
12416 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12417 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12418 recognized by the users.
12419 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12420
12421 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12422 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12423 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12424 already masked variable.
12425 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12426
12427 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12428 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12429
12430 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12431 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12432 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12433 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12434
12435 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12436 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12437 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12438
12439 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12440 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12441 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12442 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12443 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12444 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12445 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12446 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12447 now, too.
12448 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12449
12450 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12451 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12452 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12453
12454 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12455 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12456 config file.
12457 [Steve Henson]
12458
12459 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12460 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12461
12462 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12463 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12464 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12465 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12466 [Ben Laurie]
12467
12468 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12469 [Steve Henson]
12470
12471 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12472 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12473
12474 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12475 [Ben Laurie]
12476
12477 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12478 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12479 [Steve Henson]
12480
12481 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12482 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12483 [Steve Henson]
12484
12485 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12486 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12487 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12488 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12489 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12490 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12491 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12492 Ben Laurie]
12493
12494 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12495 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12496
12497 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12498 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12499 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12500 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12501 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12502
12503 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12504 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12505 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12506 [Steve Henson]
12507
12508 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12509 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12510 an example.
12511 [Steve Henson]
12512
12513 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12514 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12515 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12516
12517 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12518 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12519 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12520 build instructions.
12521 [Steve Henson]
12522
12523 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12524 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12525 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12526 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12527 [Steve Henson]
12528
12529 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12530 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12531 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12532 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12533 [Ben Laurie]
12534
12535 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12536 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12537 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12538 so it wasn't spotted.
12539 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12540
12541 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12542 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12543 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12544 vectors if you have them.
12545 [Ben Laurie]
12546
12547 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12548 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12549 [Ben Laurie]
12550
12551 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12552 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12553 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12554 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12555 If you do a:
12556 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12557 it will update them.
12558 [Steve Henson]
12559
12560 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12561 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12562 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12563 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12564 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12565 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12566 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12567 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12568
12569 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12570 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12571 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12572 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12573 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12574 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12575 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12576 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12577 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12578 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12579
12580 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12581 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12582 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12583 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12584 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12585 [Steve Henson]
12586
12587 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12588 INTEGER code.
12589 [Steve Henson]
12590
12591 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12592 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12593
12594 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12595 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12596
12597 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12598 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12599 [Ben Laurie]
12600
12601 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12602 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12603
12604 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12605 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12606
12607 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12608 [Steve Henson]
12609
12610 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12611 few typos.
12612 [Steve Henson]
12613
12614 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12615 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12616 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12617 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12618
12619 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12620 [Steve Henson]
12621
12622 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12623 [Steve Henson]
12624
12625 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12626 [Steve Henson]
12627
12628 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12629 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12630 [Steve Henson]
12631
12632 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12633 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12634 CA extensions.
12635 [Steve Henson]
12636
12637 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12638 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12639 [Steve Henson]
12640
12641 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12642 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12643 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12644 [Steve Henson]
12645
12646 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12647 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12648 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12649 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12650 properly to be processed.
12651 [Steve Henson]
12652
12653 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12654 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12655 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12656 [Ben Laurie]
12657
12658 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12659 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12660
12661 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12662 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12663 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12664 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12665 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12666 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12667 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12668 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12669 or delete all the .err files.
12670 [Steve Henson]
12671
12672 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12673 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12674 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12675 to regenerate it if needed.
12676 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12677 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12678
12679 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12680 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12681
12682 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12683 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12684 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12685 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12686 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12687 [Steve Henson]
12688
12689 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12690 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12691
12692 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12693 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12694
12695 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12696 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12697 error, but didn't set one).
12698 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12699
12700 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12701 [Ben Laurie]
12702
12703 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12704 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12705 [Steve Henson]
12706
12707 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12708 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12709
12710 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12711 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12712 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12713 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12714 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12715 OID is not part of the table.
12716 [Steve Henson]
12717
12718 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12719 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12720 [Ben Laurie]
12721
12722 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12723 [Ben Laurie]
12724
12725 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12726 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12727 was "1234").
12728 [Steve Henson]
12729
12730 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12731 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12732
12733 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12734 NULL pointers.
12735 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12736
12737 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12738 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12739
12740 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12741 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12742
12743 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12744 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12745
12746 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12747 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12748 [Ben Laurie]
12749
12750 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12751 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12752 [Steve Henson]
12753
12754 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12755 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12756
12757 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12758 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12759
12760 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12761 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12762
12763 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12764 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12765
12766 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12767 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12768 unused in the certificate verification process.
12769 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12770
12771 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12772 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12773 [Steve Henson]
12774
12775 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12776 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12777 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12778
12779 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12780 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12781 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12782 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12783 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12784
12785 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12786 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12787 [Steve Henson]
12788
12789 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12790 [Steve Henson]
12791
12792 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12793 [Paul Sutton]
12794
12795 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12796 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12797
12798 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12799 [Ben Laurie]
12800
12801 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12802 [Ben Laurie]
12803
12804 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12805 [Ben Laurie]
12806
12807 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12808 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12809 other error libraries.
12810 [Steve Henson]
12811
12812 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12813 [Steve Henson]
12814
12815 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12816 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12817 be read in.
12818 [Steve Henson]
12819
12820 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12821 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12822 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12823 the new set of documentation files.
12824 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12825
12826 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12827 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12828 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12829 number of arguments.
12830 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12831
12832 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12833 [Ben Laurie]
12834
12835 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12836 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
