10 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
13 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
14 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
15 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
16 [Richard Levitte]
17
18 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
19
20 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
21 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
22 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
23 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
24 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
25
26 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
27 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
28 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
29 [Matt Caswell]
30
31 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
32 exist.
33 [Rich Salz]
34
35 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
36
37 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
38 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
39 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
40 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
41 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
42 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
43 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
44 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
45 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
46 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
47
48 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
49 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
50
51 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
52 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
53 (CVE-2017-3738)
54 [Andy Polyakov]
55
56 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
57
58 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
59
60 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
61 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
62 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
63 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
64 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
65 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
66 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
67 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
68 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
69 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
70 key that is shared between multiple clients.
71
72 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
73 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
74
75 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
76 (CVE-2017-3736)
77 [Andy Polyakov]
78
79 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
80
81 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
82 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
83 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
84
85 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
86 (CVE-2017-3735)
87 [Rich Salz]
88
89 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
90 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
91 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
92
93 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
94 [Emilia Käsper]
95
96 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
97
98 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
99 platform rather than 'mingw'.
100 [Richard Levitte]
101
102 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
103 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
104 which is the minimum version we support.
105 [Richard Levitte]
106
107 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
108
109 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
110
111 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
112 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
113 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
114 and servers are affected.
115
116 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
117 (CVE-2017-3733)
118 [Matt Caswell]
119
120 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
121
122 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
123
124 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
125 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
126 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
127
128 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
129 (CVE-2017-3731)
130 [Andy Polyakov]
131
132 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
133
134 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
135 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
136 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
137 of Service attack.
138
139 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
140 (CVE-2017-3730)
141 [Matt Caswell]
142
143 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
144
145 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
146 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
147 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
148 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
149 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
150 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
151 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
152 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
153 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
154 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
155 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
156 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
157 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
158
159 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
160 (CVE-2017-3732)
161 [Andy Polyakov]
162
163 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
164
165 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
166
167 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
168 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
169 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
170
171 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
172 (CVE-2016-7054)
173 [Richard Levitte]
174
175 *) CMS Null dereference
176
177 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
178 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
179 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
180 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
181 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
182 affected.
183
184 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
185 (CVE-2016-7053)
186 [Stephen Henson]
187
188 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
189
190 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
191 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
192 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
193 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
194 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
195 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
196 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
197 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
198 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
199 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
200 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
201 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
202 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
203 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
204
205 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
206 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
207 providing reproducible case.
208 (CVE-2016-7055)
209 [Andy Polyakov]
210
211 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
212 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
213 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
214 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
215 [Matt Caswell]
216
217 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
218 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
219 [Richard Levitte]
220
221 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
222
223 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
224
225 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
226 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
227 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
228 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
229 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
230 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
231
232 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
233
234 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
235 (CVE-2016-6309)
236 [Matt Caswell]
237
238 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
239
240 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
241
242 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
243 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
244 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
245 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
246 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
247 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
248 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
249
250 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
251 (CVE-2016-6304)
252 [Matt Caswell]
253
254 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
255
256 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
257 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
258 Denial Of Service attack.
259
260 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
261 (CVE-2016-6305)
262 [Matt Caswell]
263
264 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
265 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
266
267 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
268 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
269 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
270 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
271 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
272 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
273 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
274 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
275 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
276 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
277 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
278 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
279 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
280 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
281 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
282
283 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
284 that the connection fails
285 or
286 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
287 very little free memory
288 or
289 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
290 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
291 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
292 memory to service the multiple requests.
293
294 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
295 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
296 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
297 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
298 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
299
300 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
301 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
302 [Matt Caswell]
303
304 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
305 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
306 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
307 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
308 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
309 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
310 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
311 [Andy Polyakov]
312
313 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
314
315 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
316 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
317 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
318 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
319 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
320 non-ASCII password.
321 [Andy Polyakov]
322
323 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
324 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
325 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
326 [Rich Salz]
327
328 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
329 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
330 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
331 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
332 [Matt Caswell]
333
334 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
335 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
336 success.
337 [Matt Caswell]
338
339 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
340 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
341 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
342 no-ops and deprecated.
343 [Matt Caswell]
344
345 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
346 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
347 were also closed.
348 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
349
350 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
351 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
352 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
353 [Rich Salz]
354
355 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
356 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
357 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
358 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
359 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
360 and the validity of object reference counter.
361 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
362
363 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
364 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
365 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
366 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
367 [Richard Levitte]
368
369 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
370 [Richard Levitte]
371
372 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
373 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
374 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
375 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
376
377 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
378
379 [Richard Levitte]
380
381 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
382 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
383 [Steve Henson]
384
385 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
386 [Andy Polyakov]
387
388 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
389 [Rich Salz]
390
391 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
392 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
393 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
394 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
395 name and is used as is.
396 [Richard Levitte]
397
398 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
399 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
400 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
401 [Rich Salz]
402
403 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
404 the "no-shared" Configure option.
405 [Matt Caswell]
406
407 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
408 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
409 algorithms.
410 [Matt Caswell]
411
412 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
413 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
414 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
415 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
416 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
417 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
418 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
419 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
420 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
421 [Matt Caswell]
422
423 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
424 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
425 enabled with '--debug' builds.
426 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
427
428 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
429 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
430 these have been added.
431 [Matt Caswell]
432
433 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
434 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
435 functions for managing these have been added.
436 [Richard Levitte]
437
438 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
439 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
440 these have been added.
441 [Matt Caswell]
442
443 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
444 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
445 have been added.
446 [Matt Caswell]
447
448 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
449 [Matt Caswell]
450
451 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
452 [Richard Levitte]
453
454 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
455 it is always safe to #include a header now.
456 [Rich Salz]
457
458 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
459 [Richard Levitte]
460
461 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
462 [Rich Salz]
463
464 *) Add support for HKDF.
465 [Alessandro Ghedini]
466
467 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
468 [Bill Cox]
469
470 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
471 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
472 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
473 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
474 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
475 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
476 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
477 [Matt Caswell]
478
479 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
480 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
481 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
482 [Catriona Lucey]
483
484 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
485 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
486 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
487 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
488 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
489 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
490 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
491
492 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
493 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
494 [Todd Short]
495
496 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
497 [Todd Short]
498
499 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
500 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
501 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
502 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
503 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
504 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
505 default cipherlist.
506 [Emilia Käsper]
507
508 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
509 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
510 [Rich Salz]
511
512 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
513 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
514 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
515 [Matt Caswell]
516
517 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
518 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
519 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
520 implemented by other servers.
521 [Emilia Käsper]
522
523 *) Add X25519 support.
524 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
525 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
526 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
527 key generation and key derivation.
528
529 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
530 X25519(29).
531 [Steve Henson]
532
533 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
534 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
535 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
536 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
537 seed, even if the seed is configured.
538
539 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
540 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
541 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
542 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
543 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
544 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
545 that of a valid user.
546 [Emilia Käsper]
547
548 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
549 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
550 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
551 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
552
553 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
554 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
555
556 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
557 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
558 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
559 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
560
561 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
562 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
563 irrelevant.
564 [Richard Levitte]
565
566 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
567 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
568 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
569 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
570 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
571 of how OpenSSL was configured.
572
573 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
574 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
575 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
576 [Richard Levitte]
577
578 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
579 [Rich Salz]
580
581 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
582 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
583 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
584 removed.
585 [Richard Levitte]
586
587 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
588 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
589 old #define's might need to be updated.
590 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
591
592 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
593 [Rich Salz]
594
595 *) New "unified" build system
596
597 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
598 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
599
600 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
601 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
602 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
603
604 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
605 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
606 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
607 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
608 descrip.mms.tmpl.
609
610 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
611 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
612 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
613 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
614 libraries" in INSTALL.
615
616 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
617 [Richard Levitte]
618
619 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
620 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
621 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
622 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
623 [Matt Caswell]
624
625 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
626 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
627
628 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
629 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
630 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
631 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
632 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
633 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
634 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
635 have been adapted accordingly.
636 [Richard Levitte]
637
638 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
639 the leading 0-byte.
640 [Emilia Käsper]
641
642 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
643 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
644 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
645 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
646 [Emilia Käsper]
647
648 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
649 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
650 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
651 'unsigned char*'.
652 [Emilia Käsper]
653
654 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
655 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
656 [Emilia Käsper]
657
658 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
659 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
660 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
661 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
662 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
663 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
664 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
665
666 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
667 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
668
669 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
670 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
671 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
672 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
673 Text::Template.
674
675 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
676 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
677 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
678 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
679 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
680 %target).
681 [Richard Levitte]
682
683 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
684 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
685 straightforward and less interdependent.
686
687 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
688 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
689 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
690
691 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
692 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
693 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
694 installed.
695 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
696 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
697 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
698 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
699
700 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
701 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
702 [Richard Levitte]
703
704 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
705 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
706 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
707 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
708 is present).
709 [Matt Caswell]
710
711 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
712 configuring.
713 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
714
715 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
716 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
717 before trying to build now.*
718 [Rich Salz]
719
720 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
721 has changed.
722 [Rich Salz]
723
724 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
725
726 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
727 the application's responsibility. The application provides
728 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
729 used to authenticate the peer.
730
731 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
732 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
733 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
734 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
735 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
736 [Viktor Dukhovni]
737
738 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
739 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
740 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
741 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
742 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
743 or the 1.1.0 releases.
744
745 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
746 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
747 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
748 support for the deprecated features from the library and
749 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
750 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
751 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
752 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
753 version.
754
755 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
756 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
757 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
758 compile with later releases.
759
760 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
761 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
762 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
763 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
764 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
765 [Viktor Dukhovni]
766
767 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
768 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
769 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
770 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
771 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
772 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
773 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
774 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
775 [Kurt Roeckx]
776
777 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
778 [Andy Polyakov]
779
780 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
781 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
782 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
783 ECDSA_SIG format.
784
785 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
786 include the ec.h header file instead.
787 [Steve Henson]
788
789 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
790 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
791 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
792 [Kurt Roeckx]
793
794 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
795 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
796 were added:
797
798 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
799 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
800
801 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
802 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
803 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
804
805 Additional changes:
806 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
807 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
808 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
809 an already created structure.
810 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
811 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
812 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
813 for deprecated builds.
814 [Richard Levitte]
815
816 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
817 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
818 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
819 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
820 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
821 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
822 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
823 [Matt Caswell]
824
825 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
826 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
827 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
828 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
829 [Kurt Roeckx]
830
831 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
832 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
833 [Kurt Roeckx]
834
835 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
836 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
837 [Kurt Roeckx]
838
839 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
840 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
841 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
842 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
843 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
844 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
845 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
846 also been removed.
847 [Matt Caswell]
848
849 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
850 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
851 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
852 [Rich Salz]
853
854 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
855 [Rich Salz]
856
857 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
858 sureware and ubsec.
859 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
860
861 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
862
863 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
864 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
865
866 FOO *x;
867
868 it must be:
869
870 FOO x;
871
872 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
873 set a mandatory field to NULL.
874
875 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
876 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
877 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
878 SEQUENCE OF.
879 [Steve Henson]
880
881 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
882 [Emilia Käsper]
883
884 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
885 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
886 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
887 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
888 [Matt Caswell]
889
890 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
891 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
892 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
893 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
894 [Emilia Käsper]
895
896 *) Fix no-stdio build.
897 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
898 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
899
900 *) New testing framework
901 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
902 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
903 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
904 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
905 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
906 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
907
908 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
909
910 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
911 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
912
913 [Richard Levitte]
914
915 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
916 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
917 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
918 and others were changed. All are now documented.
919 [Rich Salz]
920
921 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
922 return an error
923 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
924
925 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
926 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
927
928 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
929 original RSA_PSK patch.
930 [Steve Henson]
931
932 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
933 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
934 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
935 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
936 [Matt Caswell]
937
938 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
939 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
940 [Richard Levitte]
941
942 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
943 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
944 hasn't been working properly for a while.
945 [Emilia Käsper]
946
947 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
948 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
949 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
950 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
951 transferred.
952 [Matt Caswell]
953
954 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
955 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
956 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
957 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
958 [Matt Caswell]
959
960 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
961 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
962 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
963 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
964 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
965 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
966 [Matt Caswell]
967
968 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
969 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
970 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
971 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
972 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
973 header file has been removed.
974 [Matt Caswell]
975
976 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
977 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
978 [Matt Caswell]
979
980 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
981 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
982 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
983
984 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
985 Added a test.
986 [Rich Salz]
987
988 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
989 [Rich Salz]
990
991 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
992 sha256
993 [Rich Salz]
994
995 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
996 [Matt Caswell]
997
998 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
999 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1000 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1001 [Steve Henson]
1002
1003 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1004 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1005 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1006 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1007 [Matt Caswell]
1008
1009 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1010 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1011 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1012 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1013 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1014 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1015 [Matt Caswell]
1016
1017 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1018 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1019 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1020 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1021 [Matt Caswell]
1022
1023 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1024 compatible client hello.
1025 [Kurt Roeckx]
1026
1027 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1028 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1029 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1030
1031 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1032 [Rich Salz]
1033
1034 *) Removed old DES API.
1035 [Rich Salz]
1036
1037 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:

1048 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1049 [Rich Salz]
1050
1051 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1052 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1053 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1054 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1055 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1056 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1057 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1058 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP

1060 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1061 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1062 [Rich Salz]
1063
1064 *) Cleaned up dead code
1065 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1066 [Rich Salz]
1067
1068 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1069 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1070 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1071 [Rich Salz]
1072
1073 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1074 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1075 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1076 [Rich Salz]
1077
1078 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1079 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1080 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1081
1082 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1083 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1084 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1085
1086 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1087 compilation flags.
1088 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1089
1090 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1091 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1092 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1093
1094 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1095 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1096
1097 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1098 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1099 server.
1100
1101 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1102 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1103 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1104 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1105
1106 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1107 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1108 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1109 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1110
1111 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1112 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1113 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1114
1115 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1116 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1117 [Steve Henson]
1118
1119 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1120
1121 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1122 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1123
1124 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1125 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1126
1127 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1128 effect.
1129
1130 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1131
1132 [Steve Henson]
1133
1134 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1135 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1136 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1137 algorithms and include tests cases.
1138 [Steve Henson]
1139
1140 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1141 enveloped data.
1142 [Steve Henson]
1143
1144 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1145 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1146 [Steve Henson]
1147
1148 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1149 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1150
1151 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1152 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1153 [Steve Henson]
1154
1155 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1156 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1157 failures.
1158 [Steve Henson]
1159
1160 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1161 sign or verify all in one operation.
1162 [Steve Henson]
1163
1164 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1165 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1166 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1167 [Steve Henson]
1168
1169 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1170 [Steve Henson]
1171
1172 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1173 [Steve Henson]
1174
1175 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1176 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1177 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1178 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1179 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1180 [Steve Henson]
1181
1182 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1183 based on NID.
1184 [Steve Henson]
1185
1186 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1187 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1188 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1189 [Steve Henson]
1190
1191 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1192 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1193
1194 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1195 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1196 [Steve Henson]
1197
1198 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1199 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1200 [Steve Henson]
1201
1202 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1203 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1204 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1205 [Steve Henson]
1206
1207 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1208 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1209 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1210 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1211 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1212 requested amount of entropy.
1213 [Steve Henson]
1214
1215 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1216 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1217 [Steve Henson]
1218
1219 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1220 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1221 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1222 support.
1223 [Steve Henson]
1224
1225 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1226 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1227 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1228 [Steve Henson]
1229
1230 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1231 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1232 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1233 will never use XTS mode.
1234 [Steve Henson]
1235
1236 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1237 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1238 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1239 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1240 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1241 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1242 [Steve Henson]
1243
1244 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1245 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1246 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1247 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1248 [Steve Henson]
1249
1250 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1251 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1252 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1253 [Steve Henson]
1254
1255 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1256 [Steve Henson]
1257
1258 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1259 [Steve Henson]
1260
1261 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1262 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1263 [Steve Henson]
1264
1265 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1266 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1267 [Steve Henson]
1268
1269 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1270 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1271 [Steve Henson]
1272
1273 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1274 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1275 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1276 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1277 and rename any affected symbols.
1278 [Steve Henson]
1279
1280 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1281 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1282 [Steve Henson]
1283
1284 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1285 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1286 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1287 [Steve Henson]
1288
1289 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1290 [Steve Henson]
1291
1292 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1293 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1294 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1295 [Steve Henson]
1296
1297 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1298 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1299 [Steve Henson]
1300
1301 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1302 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1303 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1304 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1305 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1306 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1307 set before the key.
1308 [Steve Henson]
1309
1310 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1311 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1312 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1313 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1314 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1315 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1316 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1317 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1318 [Steve Henson]
1319
1320 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1321 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1322 [Steve Henson]
1323
1324 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1325
1326 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1327 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1328
1329 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1330 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1331 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1332 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1333 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1334 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1335
1336 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1337 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1338 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1339 security.
1340 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1341
1342 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1343 parameters by name.
1344 [Steve Henson]
1345
1346 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1347 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1348 [Steve Henson]
1349
1350 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1351 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1352 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1353 [Steve Henson]
1354
1355 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1356 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1357 multi-process servers.
1358 [Steve Henson]
1359
1360 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1361 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1362 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1363 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1364 RAND_METHOD structure.
1365 [Steve Henson]
1366
1367 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1368 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1369 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1370 whose return value is often ignored.
1371 [Steve Henson]
1372
1373 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1374 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1375 validated when establishing a connection.
1376 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
1377
1378 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1379
1380 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1381
1382 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1383 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1384 AES-NI.
1385
1386 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1387 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1388 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1389 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1390 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1391 bytes.
1392
1393 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1394 (CVE-2016-2107)
1395 [Kurt Roeckx]
1396
1397 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1398
1399 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1400 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1401 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1402 corruption.
1403
1404 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1405 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1406 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1407 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1408 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1409 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1410
1411 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1412 (CVE-2016-2105)
1413 [Matt Caswell]
1414
1415 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1416
1417 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1418 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1419 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1420 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1421 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1422 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1423 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1424 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1425 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1426 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1427 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1428 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1429 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1430 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1431 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1432 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1433
1434 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1435 (CVE-2016-2106)
1436 [Matt Caswell]
1437
1438 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1439
1440 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1441 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1442 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1443
1444 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1445 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1446 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1447 applications are not affected.
1448
1449 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1450 (CVE-2016-2109)
1451 [Stephen Henson]
1452
1453 *) EBCDIC overread
1454
1455 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1456 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1457 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1458
1459 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1460 (CVE-2016-2176)
1461 [Matt Caswell]
1462
1463 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1464 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1465 [Todd Short]
1466
1467 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1468 default.
1469 [Kurt Roeckx]
1470
1471 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1472 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1473 [Kurt Roeckx]
1474
1475 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1476
1477 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1478 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1479 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1480 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1481
1482 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1483 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1484 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1485 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1486 will need to explicitly call either of:
1487
1488 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1489 or
1490 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1491
1492 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1493 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1494 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1495 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1496 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1497 (CVE-2016-0800)
1498 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1499
1500 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1501
1502 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1503 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1504 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1505 considered rare.
1506
1507 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1508 libFuzzer.
1509 (CVE-2016-0705)

1512 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1513
1514 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1515
1516 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1517 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1518 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1519 is configured.
1520
1521 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1522 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1523 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1524 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1525 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1526 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1527 that of a valid user.

1530
1531 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1532
1533 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1534 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1535 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1536 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1537 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1538 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1539 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1540 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1541 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1542 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1543 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1544
1545 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1546 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1547 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1548 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1549 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.

1551 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1552 (CVE-2016-0797)
1553 [Matt Caswell]
1554
1555 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1556
1557 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1558 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1559 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1560
1561 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1562 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1563 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1564 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1565 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1566 also occur.
1567
1568 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1569 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1570 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1571 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1572 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1573 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1574 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1575 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1576 as command line arguments.
1577
1578 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1579 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1580 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

1586 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1587
1588 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1589 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1590 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1591 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1592 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1593
1594 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of

1606
1607 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1608 *) DH small subgroups
1609
1610 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1611 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1612 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1613 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1614 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1615 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1616 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1617 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1618 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1619 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1620
1621 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1622 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1623 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1624 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1625 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1626
1627 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1628 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1629 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1630 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1631
1632 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1633 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1634

1640
1641 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on

1643 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1644 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1653 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1654
1655 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1656 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1657 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1658 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1659 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1660 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1661 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1662 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1663 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1664 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1665 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1666 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1673
1674 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1675 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1676 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1677 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1678 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1679 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1680 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

1690 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
1691 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
1692 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.

1711 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1712
1713 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1714 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1715 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1716 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1717 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1718 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1734
1735 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1736 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1737 field.
1738
1739 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1740 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1741 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1742 client authentication enabled.

1748 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
1749
1750 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1751 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1752 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1753 time string.
1754
1755 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1756 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1757 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1758 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1759 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1760 callbacks.

1771 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1772

1815 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1816
1817 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1818
1819 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1820 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1821 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1822 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1823 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1824 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1825 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1826 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1827
1828 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1829 (CVE-2015-0290)
1830 [Matt Caswell]
1831
1832 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1833
1834 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1835 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1836 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1837 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1838 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1839 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1840 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1841 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1842 server.

1848 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1849
1850 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1851 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1852 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1853 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1854 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1855 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1856 (CVE-2015-0286)
1857 [Stephen Henson]
1858
1859 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1860
1861 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1862 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1863 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1864 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1865 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1866 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1867 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

1871 [Stephen Henson]
1872
1873 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1874
1875 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1876 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1877 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1878
1879 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1880 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1881 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1882 not affected.

1885
1886 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1887
1888 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1889 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1890 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1891
1892 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1893 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1894 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.

1901
1902 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in

1909 [Emilia Käsper]
1910
1911 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1912
1913 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1914 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1915 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1916 (CVE-2015-1787)
1917 [Matt Caswell]
1918
1919 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1920
1921 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1922 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1923 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1924 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1925 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1926 SSL_client_methodv23)
1927 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1928 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1929
1930 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1931 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1932 output may be predictable.
1933
1934 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1935 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1936
1937 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA

1941 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1942
1943 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1944 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1945 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1946 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1947 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1948 sources. This scenario is considered rare.

1999 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2000 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2001 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2002 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2003 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2004
2005 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2006 [Andy Polyakov]
2007
2008 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2009 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2010 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2011 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2012
2013 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2014 RSAZ.
2015 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2016
2017 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2018 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2019 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2020 for TLS encrypt.
2021
2022 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2023 [Andy Polyakov]
2024
2025 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2026 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2027 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2028 [Steve Henson]
2029
2030 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2031 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2032 [Steve Henson]
2033
2034 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2035 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2036 [Steve Henson]
2037
2038 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2039 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2040 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2041 algorithms and include tests cases.
2042 [Steve Henson]
2043
2044 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2045 structure.
2046 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2047
2048 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2049 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2050 [Steve Henson]
2051
2052 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2053 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2054 summary of the connection parameters.
2055 [Steve Henson]
2056
2057 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2058 of connection parameters.
2059 [Steve Henson]
2060
2061 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2062 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2063
2064 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2065 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2066 [Steve Henson]
2067
2068 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2069 [Steve Henson]
2070
2071 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2072 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2073 [Steve Henson]
2074
2075 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2076 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2077 [Steve Henson]
2078
2079 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2080 certificates.
2081 [Steve Henson]
2082
2083 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2084 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2085 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2086 [Steve Henson]
2087
2088 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2089 [Steve Henson]
2090
2091 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2092 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2093 [Steve Henson]
2094
2095 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2096 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2097 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2098 tracing.
2099 [Steve Henson]
2100
2101 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2102 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2103 [Steve Henson]
2104
2105 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2106 OID NID.
2107 [Steve Henson]
2108
2109 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2110 client to OpenSSL.
2111 [Steve Henson]
2112
2113 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2114 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2115 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2116 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2117 [Steve Henson]
2118
2119 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2120 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2121 [Steve Henson]
2122
2123 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2124 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2125 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2126 comparison.
2127 [Steve Henson]
2128
2129 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2130 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2131 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2132 use the certificate.
2133 [Steve Henson]
2134
2135 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2136 [Steve Henson]
2137
2138 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2139 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2140 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2141 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2142 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2143 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2144 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2145
2146 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2147 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2148
2149 [Steve Henson]
2150
2151 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2152 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2153 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2154 [Steve Henson]
2155
2156 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2157 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2158 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2159 supported signature algorithms.
2160 [Steve Henson]
2161
2162 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2163 [Steve Henson]
2164
2165 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2166 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2167 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2168 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2169 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2170 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2171 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2172 [Steve Henson]
2173
2174 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2175 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2176 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2177 to have similar checks in it.
2178
2179 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2180 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2181 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2182 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2183 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2184 [Steve Henson]
2185
2186 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2187 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2188 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2189 shared signature algorithms.
2190 [Steve Henson]
2191
2192 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2193 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2194 to support them.
2195 [Steve Henson]
2196
2197 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2198 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2199 it couldn't be removed.
2200 [Steve Henson]
2201
2202 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2203 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2204 [Steve Henson]
2205
2206 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2207 functions. Add manual page.
2208 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2209
2210 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2211 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2212 a certificate.
2213 [Steve Henson]
2214
2215 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2216 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2217
2218 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2219 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2220 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2221 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2222 utility) or reject.
2223 [Steve Henson]
2224
2225 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2226 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2227 [Steve Henson]
2228
2229 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2230 platform support for Linux and Android.
2231 [Andy Polyakov]
2232
2233 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2234 [Andy Polyakov]
2235
2236 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2237 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2238 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2239 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2240 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2241 [Steve Henson]
2242
2243 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2244 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2245 the new parameter format automatically.
2246 [Steve Henson]
2247
2248 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2249 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2250 [Steve Henson]
2251
2252 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2253 [Steve Henson]
2254
2255 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2256 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2257 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2258 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2259 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2260 [Steve Henson]
2261
2262 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2263 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2264 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2265 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2266 to set list of supported curves.
2267 [Steve Henson]
2268
2269 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2270 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2271 to print out received values.
2272 [Steve Henson]
2273
2274 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2275 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2276 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2277 [Steve Henson]
2278
2279 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2280 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2281 [Steve Henson]
2282
2283 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2284 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2285 [Steve Henson]
2286
2287 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2288 certificates.
2289 [Steve Henson]
2290
2291 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2292 the certificate.
2293 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2294 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2295 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2296
2297 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2298
2299 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2300 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2301
2302 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2303
2304 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2305 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2306 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2307 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2308 (CVE-2014-3571)
2309 [Steve Henson]
2310
2311 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2312 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2313 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2314 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2315 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2316 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2317 (CVE-2015-0206)
2318 [Matt Caswell]
2319
2320 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2321 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2322 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2323 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2324 (CVE-2014-3569)
2325 [Kurt Roeckx]
2326
2327 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2328 ECDH ciphersuites.
2329
2330 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2331 reporting this issue.
2332 (CVE-2014-3572)
2333 [Steve Henson]
2334
2335 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2336 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2337 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2338 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2339 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2340 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2341 (CVE-2015-0204)
2342 [Steve Henson]
2343
2344 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2345 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2346 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2347 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2348 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2349 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2350 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2351 this issue.
2352 (CVE-2015-0205)
2353 [Steve Henson]
2354
2355 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2356 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2357
2358 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2359 and can vary with the CTX.
2360 [Adam Langley]
2361
2362 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2363
2364 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2365 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2366 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2367 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2368 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2369
2370 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2371
2372 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2373 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2374
2375 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2376
2377 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2378 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2379 errors for some broken certificates.
2380
2381 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2382
2383 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2384
2385 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2386 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2387
2388 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2389 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2390 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2391 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2392
2393 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2394 of the OpenSSL core team.
2395
2396 (CVE-2014-8275)
2397 [Steve Henson]
2398
2399 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2400 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2401 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2402 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2403 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2404 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2405 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2406 the OpenSSL core team.
2407 (CVE-2014-3570)
2408 [Andy Polyakov]
2409
2410 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2411 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2412 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2413 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2414 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2415
2416 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2417 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2418 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2419 [Emilia Käsper]
2420
2421 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2422 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2423 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2424 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2425 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2426
2427 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2428 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2429 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2430 [Emilia Käsper]
2431
2432 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2433
2434 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2435
2436 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2437 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2438 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2439 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2440 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2441 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2442 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2443
2444 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2445 (CVE-2014-3513)
2446 [OpenSSL team]
2447
2448 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2449
2450 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2451 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2452 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2453 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2454 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2455 attack.
2456 (CVE-2014-3567)
2457 [Steve Henson]
2458
2459 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2460
2461 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2462 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2463 configured to send them.
2464 (CVE-2014-3568)
2465 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2466
2467 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2468 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2469 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2470 (CVE-2014-3566)
2471 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2472
2473 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2474
2475 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2476 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2477 DigestInfo structures.
2478
2479 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2480
2481 [Steve Henson]
2482
2483 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2484
2485 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2486 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2487 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2488
2489 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2490 Group for discovering this issue.
2491 (CVE-2014-3512)
2492 [Steve Henson]
2493
2494 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2495 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2496 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2497 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2498 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2499
2500 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2501 researching this issue.
2502 (CVE-2014-3511)
2503 [David Benjamin]
2504
2505 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2506 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2507 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2508 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2509
2510 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2511 issue.
2512 (CVE-2014-3510)
2513 [Emilia Käsper]
2514
2515 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2516 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2517 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2518 (CVE-2014-3507)
2519 [Adam Langley]
2520
2521 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2522 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2523 Denial of Service attack.
2524 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2525 (CVE-2014-3506)
2526 [Adam Langley]
2527
2528 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2529 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2530 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2531 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2532 this issue.
2533 (CVE-2014-3505)
2534 [Adam Langley]
2535
2536 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2537 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2538 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2539
2540 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2541 issue.
2542 (CVE-2014-3509)
2543 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2544
2545 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2546 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2547 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2548 Denial of Service attack.
2549
2550 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2551 discovering and researching this issue.
2552 (CVE-2014-5139)
2553 [Steve Henson]
2554
2555 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2556 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2557 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2558 output to the attacker.
2559
2560 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2561 (CVE-2014-3508)
2562 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2563
2564 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2565 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2566 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2567 [Bodo Moeller]
2568
2569 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2570
2571 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2572 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2573 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2574
2575 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2576 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2577 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2578
2579 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2580 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2581 in a DoS attack.
2582
2583 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2584 (CVE-2014-0221)
2585 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2586
2587 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2588 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2589 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2590 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2591
2592 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2593 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2594
2595 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2596 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2597
2598 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2599 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2600 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2601
2602 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2603 compilation flags.
2604 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2605
2606 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2607 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2608 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2609
2610 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2611 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2612
2613 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2614
2615 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2616 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2617 server.
2618
2619 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2620 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2621 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2622 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2623
2624 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2625 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2626 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2627 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2628
2629 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2630 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2631 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2632
2633 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2634
2635 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2636 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2637 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2638 is at least 512 bytes long.
2639
2640 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2641
2642 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2643
2644 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2645 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2646 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2647 (CVE-2013-4353)
2648
2649 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2650 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2651 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2652 [Steve Henson]
2653
2654 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2655 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2656 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2657 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2658 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2659 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2660 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2661
2662 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2663
2664 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2665 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2666 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2667
2668 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2669
2670 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2671
2672 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2673 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2674 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2675
2676 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2677 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2678 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2679 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2680 (CVE-2013-0169)
2681 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2682
2683 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2684 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2685 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2686 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2687 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2688 (CVE-2012-2686)
2689 [Adam Langley]
2690
2691 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2692 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2693 [Steve Henson]
2694
2695 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2696 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2697
2698 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2699 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2700 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2701 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2702 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2703
2704 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2705 [Steve Henson]
2706
2707 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2708 if renegotiating.
2709 [Steve Henson]
2710
2711 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2712
2713 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2714 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2715
2716 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2717 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2718 (CVE-2012-2333)
2719 [Steve Henson]
2720
2721 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2722 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2723 [Steve Henson]
2724
2725 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2726 approved.
2727 [Steve Henson]
2728
2729 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2730
2731 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2732 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2733 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2734 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2735 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2736 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2737 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2738 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2739 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2740 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2741 [Steve Henson]
2742
2743 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2744 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2745 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2746 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2747 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2748 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2749 client side.
2750 [Andy Polyakov]
2751
2752 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2753
2754 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2755 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2756 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2757
2758 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2759 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2760 (CVE-2012-2110)
2761 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2762
2763 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2764 [Adam Langley]
2765
2766 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2767 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2768
2769 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2770 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2771 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2772 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2773 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2774 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2775 Most broken servers should now work.
2776 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2777 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2778 [Steve Henson]
2779
2780 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2781 [Andy Polyakov]
2782
2783 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2784
2785 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2786 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2787 [Steve Henson]
2788
2789 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2790 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2791 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2792 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2793 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2794 [Steve Henson]
2795
2796 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2797 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2798 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2799 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2800 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2801 [Steve Henson]
2802
2803 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2804 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2805
2806 *) Add support for SCTP.
2807 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2808
2809 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2810 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2811
2812 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2813
2814 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2815 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2816 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2817 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2818 - s390x: z196 support;
2819 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2820
2821 [Andy Polyakov]
2822
2823 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2824 (removal of unnecessary code)
2825 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2826
2827 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2828 [Eric Rescorla]
2829
2830 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2831 [Eric Rescorla]
2832
2833 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2834 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2835 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2836 by Google.
2837 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2838
2839 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2840 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2841 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2842 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2843 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2844
2845 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2846 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2847 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2848
2849 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2850 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2851 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2852
2853 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2854 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2855 implementations).
2856 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2857
2858 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2859 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2860 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2861 [Steve Henson]
2862
2863 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2864 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2865 particular PSS.
2866 [Steve Henson]
2867
2868 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2869 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2870 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2871 [Steve Henson]
2872
2873 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2874 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2875 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2876 the appropriate parameters.
2877 [Steve Henson]
2878
2879 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2880 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2881 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2882 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2883 against a number of sample certificates.
2884 [Steve Henson]
2885
2886 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2887 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2888
2889 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2890 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2891
2892 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2893 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2894 parameters r, s.
2895 [Steve Henson]
2896
2897 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2898 RFC3211.
2899 [Steve Henson]
2900
2901 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2902 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2903 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2904 password based CMS).
2905 [Steve Henson]
2906
2907 *) Session-handling fixes:
2908 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2909 but also support Session Tickets.
2910 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2911 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2912 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2913 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2914 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2915 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2916
2917 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2918 [Bodo Moeller]
2919
2920 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2921
2922 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2923 [Andy Polyakov]
2924
2925 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2926 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2927 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2928 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2929 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2930 [Steve Henson]
2931
2932 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2933 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2934 [Steve Henson]
2935
2936 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2937 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2938 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2939 [Steve Henson]
2940
2941 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2942 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2943 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2944 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2945 [Steve Henson]
2946
2947 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2948 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2949 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2950 [Steve Henson]
2951
2952 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2953 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2954
2955 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2956 [Steve Henson]
2957
2958 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2959 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2960 [Steve Henson]
2961
2962 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2963 [Steve Henson]
2964
2965 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2966 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2967 [Steve Henson]
2968
2969 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2970 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2971 [Steve Henson]
2972
2973 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2974 [Steve Henson]
2975
2976 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2977 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2978 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2979 [Steve Henson]
2980
2981 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2982 [Steve Henson]
2983
2984 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2985 [Steve Henson]
2986
2987 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2988 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2989 [Steve Henson]
2990
2991 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2992 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2993 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2994 [Steve Henson]
2995
2996 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2997 [Steve Henson]
2998
2999 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3000 and enable MD5.
3001 [Steve Henson]
3002
3003 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3004 FIPS modules versions.
3005 [Steve Henson]
3006
3007 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3008 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3009 until after the certificate request message is received.
3010 [Steve Henson]
3011
3012 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3013 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3014 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3015 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3016 [Steve Henson]
3017
3018 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3019 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3020 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3021 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3022 [Steve Henson]
3023
3024 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3025 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3026 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3027 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3028 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3029 and version checking.
3030 [Steve Henson]
3031
3032 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3033 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3034 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3035 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3036 [Steve Henson]
3037
3038 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
3039 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
3040 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
3041 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
3042 Ben Laurie]
3043
3044 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3045 [Steve Henson]
3046
3047 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3048 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3049 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3050
3051 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3052 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3053 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3054 [Steve Henson]
3055
3056 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3057 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3058
3059 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3060 a few changes are required:
3061
3062 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3063 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3064 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3065 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3066 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3067 [Steve Henson]
3068
3069 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3070
3071 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3072 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3073 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3074 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3075 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3076 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3077 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3078 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3079 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3080 [Steve Henson]
3081
3082 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3083 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3084 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3085 [Steve Henson]
3086
3087 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3088
3089 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3090 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3091 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3092 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3093 [Antonio Martin]
3094
3095 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3096
3097 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3098 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3099 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3100 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3101 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3102 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3103 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3104 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3105 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3106 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3107 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3108 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3109 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3110
3111 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3112 (CVE-2011-4576)
3113 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3114
3115 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3116 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3117 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3118 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3119
3120 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3121 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3122
3123 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3124 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3125 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3126 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3127
3128 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3129 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3130
3131 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3132 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3133
3134 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3135 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3136
3137 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3138 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3139 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3140
3141 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3142 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3143 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3144
3145 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3146 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3147 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3148 the last update always remained unused).
3149 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3150
3151 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3152 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3153
3154 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3155
3156 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3157 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3158 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3159
3160 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3161 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3162 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3163
3164 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3165 [Bodo Moeller]
3166
3167 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3168 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3169 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3170 [Steve Henson]
3171
3172 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3173 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3174
3175 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3176
3177 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3178
3179 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3180
3181 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3182 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3183
3184 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3185 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3186 ambiguous.
3187 [Steve Henson]
3188
3189 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3190
3191 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3192 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3193 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3194 [Steve Henson]
3195
3196 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3197 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3198 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3199 [Ben Laurie]
3200
3201 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3202
3203 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3204 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3205 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3206 [Steve Henson]
3207
3208 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3209 a DLL.
3210 [Steve Henson]
3211
3212 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3213
3214 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3215 (CVE-2010-1633)
3216 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3217
3218 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3219
3220 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3221 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3222 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3223 [Steve Henson]
3224
3225 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3226 [Steve Henson]
3227
3228 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3229 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3230 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3231
3232 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3233 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3234 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3235 [Steve Henson]
3236
3237 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3238 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3239 [Steve Henson]
3240
3241 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3242 some responders need this.
3243 [Steve Henson]
3244
3245 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3246 correctly.
3247 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3248
3249 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3250 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3251 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3252 [Steve Henson]
3253
3254 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3255 [Steve Henson]
3256
3257 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3258 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3259 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3260 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3261 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3262 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3263 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3264 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3265 [Steve Henson]
3266
3267 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3268 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3269 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3270 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3271
3272 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3273 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3274
3275 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3276 be used on C++.
3277 [Steve Henson]
3278
3279 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3280 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3281 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3282 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3283 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3284 attempting to work them out.
3285 [Steve Henson]
3286
3287 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3288 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3289 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3290 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3291 [Steve Henson]
3292
3293 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3294 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3295 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3296 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3297 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3298 [Steve Henson]
3299
3300 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3301 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3302 you can do:
3303
3304 openssl sha256 foo
3305
3306 as well as:
3307
3308 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3309
3310 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3311
3312 [Steve Henson]
3313
3314 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3315 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3316
3317 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3318 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3319
3320 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3321 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3322 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3323 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3324 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3325 [Steve Henson]
3326
3327 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3328 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3329 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3330 [Steve Henson]
3331
3332 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3333 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3334 [Steve Henson]
3335
3336 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3337 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3338
3339 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3340 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3341 [Steve Henson]
3342
3343 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3344 [Ben Laurie]
3345
3346 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3347 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3348 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3349 CONF_VALUE.
3350 [Ben Laurie]
3351
3352 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3353 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3354 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3355 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3356 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3357 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3358 [Steve Henson]
3359
3360 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3361 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3362
3363 This work was sponsored by Google.
3364 [Steve Henson]
3365
3366 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3367 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3368 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3369 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3370 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3371 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3372 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3373 default.
3374
3375 This work was sponsored by Google.
3376 [Steve Henson]
3377
3378 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3379
3380 This work was sponsored by Google.
3381 [Steve Henson]
3382
3383 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3384 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3385 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3386 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3387
3388 This work was sponsored by Google.
3389 [Steve Henson]
3390
3391 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3392 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3393 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3394 CRL functionality in future.
3395
3396 This work was sponsored by Google.
3397 [Steve Henson]
3398
3399 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3400
3401 This work was sponsored by Google.
3402 [Steve Henson]
3403
3404 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3405 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3406
3407 This work was sponsored by Google.
3408 [Steve Henson]
3409
3410 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3411 and URI types are currently supported.
3412
3413 This work was sponsored by Google.
3414 [Steve Henson]
3415
3416 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3417 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3418 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3419 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3420 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3421 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3422 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3423 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3424
3425 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3426 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3427 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3428
3429 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3430 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3431 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3432 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3433
3434 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3435 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3436 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3437 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3438 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3439 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3440 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3441 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3442 of &errno.)
3443 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3444
3445 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3446 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3447 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3448
3449 This work was sponsored by Google.
3450 [Steve Henson]
3451
3452 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3453 [Ben Laurie]
3454
3455 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3456 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3457 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3458 [Ben Laurie]
3459
3460 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3461 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3462 [Nick Mathewson]
3463
3464 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3465 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3466 [Ben Laurie]
3467
3468 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3469 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3470 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3471 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3472 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3473 content types and variants.
3474 [Steve Henson]
3475
3476 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3477 [Steve Henson]
3478
3479 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3480 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3481 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3482 files from the associated perl scripts.
3483 [Steve Henson]
3484
3485 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3486 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3487 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3488
3489 *) s390x assembler pack.
3490 [Andy Polyakov]
3491
3492 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3493 "family."
3494 [Andy Polyakov]
3495
3496 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3497 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3498 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3499 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3500 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3501 to use. For example, specify an option
3502
3503 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3504
3505 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3506 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3507 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3508 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3509 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3510 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3511
3512 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3513 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3514 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3515 return non-zero for success.
3516
3517 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3518 by using
3519
3520 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3521 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3522
3523 where
3524
3525 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3526 void *arg;
3527
3528 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3529 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3530 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3531 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3532 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3533 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3534 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3535 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3536 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3537
3538 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3539 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3540 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3541 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3542 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3543 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3544
3545 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3546 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3547 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3548 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3549 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3550 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3551
3552 [Bodo Moeller]
3553
3554 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3555 MAC.
3556
3557 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3558
3559 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3560 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3561 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3562 supported.
3563
3564 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3565 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3566 SSL_SESSION.
3567
3568 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3569 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3570 with no application modification.
3571
3572 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3573 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3574
3575 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3576 or server extensions to be examined.
3577
3578 This work was sponsored by Google.
3579 [Steve Henson]
3580
3581 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3582 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3583 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3584
3585 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3586 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3587 ciphersuite support.
3588 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3589
3590 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3591 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3592 to output in BER and PEM format.
3593 [Steve Henson]
3594
3595 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3596 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3597 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3598 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3599 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3600 [Steve Henson]
3601
3602 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3603 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3604 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3605 utility.
3606 [Steve Henson]
3607
3608 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3609 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3610 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3611 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3612 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3613 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3614 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3615 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3616 enabled again.
3617
3618 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3619 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3620 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3621 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3622
3623 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3624 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3625 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3626 the default order.
3627 [Bodo Moeller]
3628
3629 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3630 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3631 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3632 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3633 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3634 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3635 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3636 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3637 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3638
3639 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3640 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3641 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3642 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3643 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3644 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3645 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3646 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3647 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3648 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3649 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3650 kinds of kludges.
3651
3652 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3653 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3654 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3655
3656 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3657 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3658 "CAMELLIA256".
3659 [Bodo Moeller]
3660
3661 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3662 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3663 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3664 [Nils Larsch]
3665
3666 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3667 it yet and it is largely untested.
3668 [Steve Henson]
3669
3670 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3671 [Nils Larsch]
3672
3673 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3674 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3675 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3676 [Steve Henson]
3677
3678 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3679 [Andy Polyakov]
3680
3681 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3682 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3683 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3684 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3685 [Steve Henson]
3686
3687 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3688 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3689 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3690 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3691 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3692 [Steve Henson]
3693
3694 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3695 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3696 [Cryptocom]
3697
3698 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3699 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3700 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3701 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3702 [Steve Henson]
3703
3704 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3705 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3706 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3707 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3708 [Steve Henson]
3709
3710 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3711 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3712 [Steve Henson]
3713
3714 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3715 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3716 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3717 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3718 [Steve Henson]
3719
3720 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3721 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3722 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3723 [Steve Henson]
3724
3725 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3726 utility.
3727 [Steve Henson]
3728
3729 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3730 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3731 [Steve Henson]
3732
3733 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3734 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3735 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3736 if necessary.
3737 [Steve Henson]
3738
3739 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3740 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3741 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3742 [Steve Henson]
3743
3744 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3745 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3746 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3747 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3748 [Steve Henson]
3749
3750 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3751 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3752 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3753 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3754 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3755 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3756 [Douglas Stebila]
3757
3758 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3759 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3760 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3761 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3762 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3763
3764 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3765 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3766 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3767 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3768 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3769 protocol).
3770
3771 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3772 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3773 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3774 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3775
3776 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3777 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3778 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3779 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3780 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3781
3782 aECDH - ECDH cert
3783 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3784 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3785
3786 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3787 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3788
3789 [Bodo Moeller]
3790
3791 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3792 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3793 [Steve Henson]
3794
3795 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3796 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3797 [Steve Henson]
3798
3799 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3800 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3801 functional reference processing.
3802 [Steve Henson]
3803
3804 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3805 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3806 process.
3807 [Steve Henson]
3808
3809 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3810 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3811 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3812 [Steve Henson]
3813
3814 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3815 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3816 application to support multiple signers.
3817 [Steve Henson]
3818
3819 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3820 digest MAC.
3821 [Steve Henson]
3822
3823 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3824 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3825 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3826 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3827 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3828 [Steve Henson]
3829
3830 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3831 new API.
3832 [Steve Henson]
3833
3834 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3835 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3836 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3837 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3838 a no op.
3839 [Steve Henson]
3840
3841 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3842 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3843 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3844 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3845 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3846 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3847 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3848 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3849 [Steve Henson]
3850
3851 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3852 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3853 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3854 between digests and public key types.
3855 [Steve Henson]
3856
3857 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3858 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3859 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3860 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3861 [Steve Henson]
3862
3863 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3864 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3865 key ASN1 method.
3866 [Steve Henson]
3867
3868 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3869 [Steve Henson]
3870
3871 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3872 pkeyutl.
3873 [Steve Henson]
3874
3875 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3876 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3877 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3878 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3879 pkey, genpkey.
3880 [Steve Henson]
3881
3882 *) BeOS support.
3883 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3884
3885 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3886 manual pages.
3887 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3888
3889 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3890 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3891 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3892 functionality for RSA.
3893 [Steve Henson]
3894
3895 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3896 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3897 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3898 [Steve Henson]
3899
3900 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3901 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3902 [Steve Henson]
3903
3904 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3905 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3906 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3907 [Steve Henson]
3908
3909 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3910 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3911 [Douglas Stebila]
3912
3913 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3914 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3915 [Steve Henson]
3916
3917 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3918 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3919 type.
3920 [Steve Henson]
3921
3922 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3923 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3924 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3925 structure.
3926 [Steve Henson]
3927
3928 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3929 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3930 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3931 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3932 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3933 of public and private key structures.
3934 [Steve Henson]
3935
3936 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3937 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3938 [Douglas Stebila]
3939
3940 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3941 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3942 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3943
3944 New ciphersuites:
3945 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3946 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3947
3948 New functions:
3949 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3950 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3951 SSL_get_psk_identity
3952 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3953
3954 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3955
3956 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3957 and response verification functionality.
3958 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3959
3960 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3961 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3962 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3963 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3964 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3965 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3966 server_name extension.
3967
3968 New functions (subject to change):
3969
3970 SSL_get_servername()
3971 SSL_get_servername_type()
3972 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3973
3974 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3975
3976 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3977 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3978 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3979 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3980 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3981
3982 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3983
3984 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3985 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3986 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3987 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3988 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3989 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3990 option.
3991
3992 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3993
3994 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3995 [Andy Polyakov]
3996
3997 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3998 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3999 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4000 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4001 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4002 [Andy Polyakov]
4003
4004 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4005 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4006 macro.
4007 [Bodo Moeller]
4008
4009 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4010 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4011 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4012 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4013 [Andy Polyakov]
4014
4015 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4016 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4017 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4018 using the maximum available value.
4019 [Steve Henson]
4020
4021 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4022 in addition to the text details.
4023 [Bodo Moeller]
4024
4025 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4026 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4027 handle several customised structures at all.
4028 [Steve Henson]
4029
4030 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4031 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4032 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4033 [Steve Henson]
4034
4035 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4036 [Steve Henson]
4037
4038 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4039 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4040 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4041 [Steve Henson]
4042
4043 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4044 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4045 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4046 [Nils Larsch]
4047
4048 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4049 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4050 all fields.
4051 [Steve Henson]
4052
4053 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4054 [Steve Henson]
4055
4056 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4057 [NTT]
4058
4059 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4060
4061 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4062 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4063 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4064 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4065 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4066 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4067 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4068 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4069
4070 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4071 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4072 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4073
4074 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4075
4076 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4077 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4078
4079 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4080 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4081 [Bodo Moeller]
4082
4083 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4084 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4085 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4086 [Steve Henson]
4087
4088 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4089 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4090 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4091 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4092 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4093 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4094 [Steve Henson]
4095
4096 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4097 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4098 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4099 [Steve Henson]
4100
4101 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4102 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4103 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4104 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4105 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4106 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4107 CVE-2009-4355.
4108 [Steve Henson]
4109
4110 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4111 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4112 [Bodo Moeller]
4113
4114 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4115 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4116 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4117 [Steve Henson]
4118
4119 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4120 [Steve Henson]
4121
4122 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4123 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4124 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4125 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4126 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4127 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4128 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4129 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4130 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4131 [Steve Henson]
4132
4133 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4134 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4135 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4136 [Steve Henson]
4137
4138 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4139 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4140 [Steve Henson]
4141
4142 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4143 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4144 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4145 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4146 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4147 know what you are doing.
4148 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4149
4150 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4151 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4152 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4153 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4154 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4155 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4156 the handshake.
4157 [Steve Henson]
4158
4159 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4160 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4161 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4162 correctly.
4163 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4164
4165 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4166 warnings in other configurations.
4167 [Steve Henson]
4168
4169 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4170 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4171 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4172 systems need.
4173 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4174
4175 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4176 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4177 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4178
4179 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4180 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4181 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4182 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4183 [Steve Henson]
4184
4185 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4186 and restored.
4187 [Steve Henson]
4188
4189 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4190 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4191 clash.
4192 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4193
4194 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4195 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4196 other than a simple chain.
4197 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4198
4199 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4200 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4201 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4202 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4203 [Steve Henson]
4204
4205 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4206 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4207 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4208 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4209 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
4210 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4211 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4212 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4213 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4214
4215 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4216 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4217 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4218 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4219 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4220 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4221 (CVE-2009-1377)
4222 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4223
4224 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4225 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4226 [Daniel Mentz]
4227
4228 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4229 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4230
4231 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4232 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4233
4234 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4235
4236 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4237 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4238 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4239 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4240 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4241 you're doing.
4242 [Ben Laurie]
4243
4244 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4245
4246 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4247 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4248 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4249 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4250
4251 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4252 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4253 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4254 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4255
4256 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4257 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4258 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4259 [Steve Henson]
4260
4261 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4262 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4263 level.
4264 [Steve Henson]
4265
4266 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4267 to handle some structures.
4268 [Steve Henson]
4269
4270 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4271 for a '\n'
4272 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4273
4274 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4275 [Matthieu Herrb]
4276
4277 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4278 [Steve Henson]
4279
4280 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4281 [Steve Henson]
4282
4283 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4284 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4285 chosen compiler.
4286 [Ben Laurie]
4287
4288 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4289
4290 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4291 (CVE-2008-5077).
4292 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4293
4294 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4295 [Ben Laurie]
4296
4297 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4298 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4299 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4300 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4301
4302 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4303 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4304
4305 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4306 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4307 [Bodo Moeller]
4308
4309 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4310 s_client and s_server.
4311 [Ben Laurie]
4312
4313 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4314 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4315
4316 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4317 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4318
4319 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4320 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4321 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4322 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4323 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4324 [Bodo Moeller]
4325
4326 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4327
4328 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4329 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4330 [PR #1679]
4331
4332 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4333 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4334 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4335
4336 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4337 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4338 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4339 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4340
4341 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4342 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4343
4344 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4345
4346 *) Various precautionary measures:
4347
4348 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4349
4350 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4351 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4352 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4353
4354 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4355 outside the expected range.
4356
4357 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4358 builds.
4359
4360 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4361
4362 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4363 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4364 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4365
4366 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4367 [Steve Henson]
4368
4369 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4370 [Huang Ying]
4371
4372 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4373
4374 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4375 [Steve Henson]
4376
4377 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4378 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4379 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4380
4381 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4382 [Steve Henson]
4383
4384 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4385 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4386 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4387 files.
4388 [Steve Henson]
4389
4390 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4391
4392 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4393 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4394 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4395 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4396
4397 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4398 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4399 [Joe Orton]
4400
4401 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4402
4403 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4404 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4405 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4406
4407 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4408
4409 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4410 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4411 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4412 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4413 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4414
4415 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4416 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4417 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4418 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4419 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4420 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4421 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4422
4423 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4424
4425 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4426 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4427 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4428 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4429 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4430
4431 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4432 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4433
4434 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4435 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4436 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4437 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4438 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4439
4440 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4441
4442 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4443 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4444 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4445 sets may exist with different names.
4446 [Steve Henson]
4447
4448 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4449 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4450 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4451 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4452 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4453 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4454 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4455 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4456 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4457 implementation.
4458 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4459
4460 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4461 implementation in the following ways:
4462
4463 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4464 hard coded.
4465
4466 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4467 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4468 ignored for embedded content.
4469
4470 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4471 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4472 [Steve Henson]
4473
4474 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4475 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4476 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4477 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4478
4479 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4480 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4481 [Steve Henson]
4482
4483 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4484 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4485 [Steve Henson]
4486
4487 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4488 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4489 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4490 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4491 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4492 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4493 data.
4494 [Steve Henson]
4495
4496 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4497 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4498 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4499
4500 *) Netware support:
4501
4502 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4503 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4504 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4505 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4506 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4507 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4508 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4509 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4510 platform
4511 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4512 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4513 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4514 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4515 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4516 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4517 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4518
4519 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4520 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4521 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4522 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4523 to s_client and s_server.
4524 [Steve Henson]
4525
4526 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4527
4528 *) Fix various bugs:
4529 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4530 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4531 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4532 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4533 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4534
4535 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4536
4537 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4538 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4539 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4540 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4541 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4542 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4543 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4544 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4545 [Andy Polyakov]
4546
4547 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4548 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4549 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4550 Steve Henson]
4551
4552 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4553 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4554 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4555 supported.
4556
4557 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4558 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4559 SSL_SESSION.
4560
4561 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4562 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4563 with no application modification.
4564
4565 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4566 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4567
4568 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4569 or server extensions to be examined.
4570
4571 This work was sponsored by Google.
4572 [Steve Henson]
4573
4574 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4575 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4576 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4577 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4578 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4579 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4580 server_name extension.
4581
4582 New functions (subject to change):
4583
4584 SSL_get_servername()
4585 SSL_get_servername_type()
4586 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4587
4588 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4589
4590 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4591 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4592 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4593 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4594 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4595
4596 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4597
4598 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4599 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4600 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4601 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4602 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4603 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4604 option.
4605
4606 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4607
4608 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4609 [Steve Henson]
4610
4611 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4612 [Andy Polyakov]
4613
4614 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4615 (which previously caused an internal error).
4616 [Bodo Moeller]
4617
4618 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4619 [Ben Laurie]
4620
4621 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4622 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4623
4624 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4625 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4626 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4627
4628 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4629 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4630 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4631 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4632
4633 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4634 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4635 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4636 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4637
4638 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4639 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4640 information. For detailed background information, see
4641 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4642 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4643 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4644 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4645 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4646 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4647 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4648 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4649 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4650 remove a conditional branch.
4651
4652 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4653 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4654 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4655 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4656 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4657 remains as a deprecated alias.
4658
4659 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4660 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4661 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4662 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4663
4664 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4665 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4666 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4667 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4668 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4669 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4670 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4671 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4672
4673 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4674
4675 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4676 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4677 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4678 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4679 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4680 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4681 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4682 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4683 in a different context.
4684 [Bodo Moeller]
4685
4686 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4687 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4688 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4689 [Bodo Moeller]
4690
4691 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4692 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4693 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4694
4695 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4696
4697 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4698 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4699 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4700 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4701 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4702 [Victor Duchovni]
4703
4704 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4705 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4706 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4707 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4708 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4709 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4710 [Bodo Moeller]
4711
4712 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4713 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4714 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4715 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4716 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4717 [Bodo Moeller]
4718
4719 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4720 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4721
4722 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4723 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4724 Improve header file function name parsing.
4725 [Steve Henson]
4726
4727 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4728 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4729 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4730
4731 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4732
4733 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4734 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4735 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4736
4737 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4738 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4739
4740 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4741 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4742
4743 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4744 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4745 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4746
4747 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4748 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4749 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4750 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4751 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4752 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4753 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4754 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4755 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4756
4757 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4758 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4759 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4760 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4761 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4762
4763 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4764 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4765 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4766 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4767 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4768 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4769 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4770 multiple values to extend the available space.
4771
4772 [Bodo Moeller]
4773
4774 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4775
4776 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4777 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4778
4779 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4780 [Ben Laurie]
4781
4782 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4783 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4784 undesirable limitations.
4785 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4786
4787 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4788 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4789 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4790 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4791 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4792 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4793 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4794 [Bodo Moeller]
4795
4796 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4797
4798 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4799 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4800 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4801
4802 The latter two were purportedly from
4803 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4804 appear there.
4805
4806 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4807 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4808 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4809 [Bodo Moeller]
4810
4811 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4812 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4813 [Bodo Moeller]
4814
4815 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4816 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4817 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4818 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4819
4820 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4821 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4822 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4823 [NTT]
4824
4825 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4826 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4827 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4828 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4829 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4830 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4831 [Steve Henson]
4832
4833 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4834
4835 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4836 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4837 [Steve Henson]
4838
4839 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4840 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4841
4842 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4843 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4844 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4845 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4846 [Douglas Stebila]
4847
4848 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4849 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4850 [Steve Henson]
4851
4852 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4853 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4854 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4855 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4856 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4857 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4858 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4859 can't be loaded.
4860 [Steve Henson]
4861
4862 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4863 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4864 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4865 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4866 [Steve Henson]
4867
4868 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4869 under VC++ build system.
4870 [Steve Henson]
4871
4872 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4873 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4874 [Richard Levitte]
4875
4876 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4877
4878 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4879 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4880 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4881 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4882 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4883
4884 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4885 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4886 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4887
4888 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4889 [Steve Henson]
4890
4891 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4892 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4893 [Nils Larsch]
4894
4895 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4896 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4897
4898 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4899 [Nick Mathewson]
4900
4901 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4902 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4903
4904 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4905 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4906 [Steve Henson]
4907
4908 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4909 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4910 smime utility.
4911 [Steve Henson]
4912
4913 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4914
4915 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4916 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4917
4918 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4919 [Richard Levitte]
4920
4921 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4922 key into the same file any more.
4923 [Richard Levitte]
4924
4925 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4926 [Andy Polyakov]
4927
4928 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4929 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4930
4931 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4932 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4933 [Richard Levitte]
4934
4935 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4936 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4937 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4938 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4939 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4940 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4941
4942 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4943 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4944 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4945 [Steve Henson]
4946
4947 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4948 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4949 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4950 - add new function for parameter creation
4951 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4952 BN_BLINDING parameters
4953 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4954 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4955 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4956 threads.
4957 [Nils Larsch]
4958
4959 *) Add support for DTLS.
4960 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4961
4962 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4963 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4964 [Walter Goulet]
4965
4966 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4967 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4968 [Nils Larsch]
4969
4970 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4971 the apps/openssl applications.
4972 [Nils Larsch]
4973
4974 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4975 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4976 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4977 [Ben Laurie]
4978
4979 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4980 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4981
4982 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4983 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4984
4985 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4986 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4987 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4988 avoid this algorithm.)
4989
4990 [Bodo Moeller]
4991
4992 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4993 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4994 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4995 [Richard Levitte]
4996
4997 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4998 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4999 [Andy Polyakov]
5000
5001 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5002 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5003 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5004 pod file:
5005
5006 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5007
5008 The blank line is mandatory.
5009
5010 [Steve Henson]
5011
5012 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5013 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5014 sources.
5015 [Steve Henson]
5016
5017 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5018 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5019
5020 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5021 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5022 to support policy checking and print out.
5023 [Steve Henson]
5024
5025 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5026 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5027 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5028 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5029
5030 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5031 [Geoff Thorpe]
5032
5033 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5034 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5035
5036 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5037 implementation contributed by IBM.
5038 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5039
5040 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5041 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5042 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5043 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5044
5045 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5046 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5047
5048 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5049 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5050 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5051 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5052 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5053 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5054 [Steve Henson]
5055
5056 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5057 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5058 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5059 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5060 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5061 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5062 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5063 [Geoff Thorpe]
5064
5065 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5066 [Steve Henson]
5067
5068 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5069 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5070 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5071 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5072 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5073 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5074 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5075 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5076 [Steve Henson]
5077
5078 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5079 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5080 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5081 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5082 [Steve Henson]
5083
5084 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5085 syntax:
5086
5087 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5088 [Steve Henson]
5089
5090 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5091 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5092 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5093 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5094 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5095 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5096 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5097 [Geoff Thorpe]
5098
5099 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5100 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5101 [Geoff Thorpe]
5102
5103 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5104 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5105 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5106 [Steve Henson]
5107
5108 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5109 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5110 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5111 below).
5112 [Geoff Thorpe]
5113
5114 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5115 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5116 [Richard Levitte]
5117
5118 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5119 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5120 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5121 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5122 [Geoff Thorpe]
5123
5124 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5125 initialised value as BN_new().
5126 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5127
5128 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5129 [Steve Henson]
5130
5131 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5132 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5133 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5134 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5135 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5136 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5137 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5138 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5139 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5140 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5141 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5142 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5143 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5144 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5145 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5146
5147 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5148 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5149 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5150 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5151 [Geoff Thorpe]
5152
5153 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5154 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5155 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5156 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5157 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5158 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5159 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5160 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5161 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5162 [Geoff Thorpe]
5163
5164 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5165 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5166 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5167 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5168 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5169 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5170 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5171 [Geoff Thorpe]
5172
5173 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5174 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5175 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5176 these have been updated also.
5177 [Geoff Thorpe]
5178
5179 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5180 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5181 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5182 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5183 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5184 functions.
5185 [Steve Henson]
5186
5187 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5188 structure of type "other".
5189 [Steve Henson]
5190
5191 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5192 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5193 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5194 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5195 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5196 situation in the script.
5197 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5198
5199 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5200 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5201 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5202 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5203 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5204 used as premaster secret.
5205 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5206
5207 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5208 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5209 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5210
5211 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5212 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5213
5214 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5215 control of the error stack.
5216 [Richard Levitte]
5217
5218 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5219 [Richard Levitte]
5220
5221 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5222 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5223 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5224 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5225 [Richard Levitte]
5226
5227 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5228 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5229 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5230 [Richard Levitte]
5231
5232 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5233 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5234 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5235 a memory area.
5236 [Richard Levitte]
5237
5238 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5239 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5240 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5241 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5242 [Richard Levitte]
5243
5244 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5245 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5246 the following flags are defined:
5247
5248 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5249 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5250 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5251 number.
5252
5253 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5254 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5255 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5256 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5257 returns zero.
5258 [Richard Levitte]
5259
5260 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5261 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5262 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5263 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5264 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5265 [Richard Levitte]
5266
5267 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5268 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5269 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5270 [Richard Levitte]
5271
5272 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5273 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5274 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5275 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5276 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5277 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5278 [Richard Levitte]
5279
5280 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5281 req and dirName.
5282 [Steve Henson]
5283
5284 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5285 [Steve Henson]
5286
5287 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5288 [Steve Henson]
5289
5290 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5291 [Steve Henson]
5292
5293 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5294 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5295 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5296 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5297 default implementation more easily.
5298 [Geoff Thorpe]
5299
5300 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5301 in config files.
5302 [Steve Henson]
5303
5304 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5305 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5306 [Richard Levitte]
5307
5308 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5309 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5310 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5311 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5312
5313 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5314 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5315 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5316 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5317 [Steve Henson]
5318
5319 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5320 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5321 to do it.
5322 [Richard Levitte]
5323
5324 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5325 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5326 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5327 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5328 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5329 scalar * generator).
5330 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5331
5332 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5333 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5334 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5335 correctly.
5336 [Steve Henson]
5337
5338 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5339 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5340 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5341 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5342 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5343 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5344 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5345 linker additions, eg;
5346 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5347 [Geoff Thorpe]
5348
5349 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5350 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5351 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5352 [Geoff Thorpe]
5353
5354 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5355 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5356 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5357 via PR#459)
5358 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5359
5360 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5361 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5362 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5363 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5364 [Geoff Thorpe]
5365
5366 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5367 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5368 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5369 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5370 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5371 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5372 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5373 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5374 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5375 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5376
5377 Example for using the new callback interface:
5378
5379 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5380 void *my_arg = ...;
5381 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5382
5383 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5384
5385 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5386 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5387 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5388 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.

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