5 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
8
9 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
10 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
11
12 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x10 for the test
13 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x10
14
15 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
16 effect.
17
18 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
19
20 NOTE: unfortunately the test server value (0x10) clashes with the draft
21 ALPN extension. Until this is resolved the only way to check against the
22 test server is to temporarily change the ALPN extension value (ugh!).
23
24 [Steve Henson]
25
26 *) Add callbacks supporting generation and retrieval of supplemental
27 data entries.
28 [Scott Deboy <sdeboy@apache.org>, Trevor Perrin and Ben Laurie]
29
30 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
31 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
32 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
33 algorithms and include tests cases.
34 [Steve Henson]
35
36 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
37 enveloped data.
38 [Steve Henson]
39
40 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
41 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
42 [Steve Henson]
43
44 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
45 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
46 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
47 [Steve Henson]
48
49 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
50 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
51
52 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
53 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
54 [Steve Henson]
55
56 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
57 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
58 failures.
59 [Steve Henson]
60
61 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
62 sign or verify all in one operation.
63 [Steve Henson]
64
65 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporaing all the algorithm
66 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
67 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
68 [Steve Henson]
69
70 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
71 [Steve Henson]
72
73 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
74 [Steve Henson]
75
76 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
77 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
78 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
79 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
80 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
81 [Steve Henson]
82
83 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
84 based on NID.
85 [Steve Henson]
86
87 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
88 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
89 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
90 [Steve Henson]
91
92 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
93 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
94 [Steve Henson]
95
96 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
97 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
98
99 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
100 POST to handle HMAC cases.
101 [Steve Henson]
102
103 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
104 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
105 [Steve Henson]
106
107 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
108 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
109 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
110 [Steve Henson]
111
112 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
113 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
114 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
115 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
116 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
117 requested amount of entropy.
118 [Steve Henson]
119
120 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
121 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
122 [Steve Henson]
123
124 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
125 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
126 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
127 support.
128 [Steve Henson]
129
130 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
131 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
132 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
133 [Steve Henson]
134
135 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
136 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
137 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
138 will never use XTS mode.
139 [Steve Henson]
140
141 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
142 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
143 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
144 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
145 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
146 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
147 [Steve Henson]
148
149 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
150 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
151 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
152 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
153 [Steve Henson]
154
155 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
156 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
157 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
158 [Steve Henson]
159
160 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
161 [Steve Henson]
162
163 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
164 [Steve Henson]
165
166 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
167 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
168 [Steve Henson]
169
170 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
171 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
172 [Steve Henson]
173
174 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
175 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
176 [Steve Henson]
177
178 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
179 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
180 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
181 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
182 and rename any affected symbols.
183 [Steve Henson]
184
185 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
186 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
187 [Steve Henson]
188
189 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
190 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
191 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
192 [Steve Henson]
193
194 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
195 [Steve Henson]
196
197 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
198 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
199 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
200 [Steve Henson]
201
202 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
203 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
204 [Steve Henson]
205
206 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
207 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
208 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
209 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
210 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
211 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
212 set before the key.
213 [Steve Henson]
214
215 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
216 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
217 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
218 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
219 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
220 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
221 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
222 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
223 [Steve Henson]
224
225 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
226 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
227 [Steve Henson]
228
229 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
230
231 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
232 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
233
234 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
235 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
236 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
237 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
238 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
239 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
240
241 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
242 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
243 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
244 security.
245 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
246
247 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
248 parameters by name.
249 [Steve Henson]
250
251 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
252 Add CMAC pkey methods.
253 [Steve Henson]
254
255 *) Experimental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
256 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
257 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
258 [Steve Henson]
259
260 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
261 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
262 multi-process servers.
263 [Steve Henson]
264
265 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
266 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
267 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
268 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
269 RAND_METHOD structure.
270 [Steve Henson]
271
272 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
273 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
274 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
275 whose return value is often ignored.
276 [Steve Henson]
277
278 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
279
280 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
281 structure.
282 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
283
284 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
285 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
286 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
287 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
288 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
289 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
290 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
291
292 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
293 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
294 [Steve Henson]
295
296 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
297 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
298 summary of the connection parameters.
299 [Steve Henson]
300
301 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
302 of connection parameters.
303 [Steve Henson]
304
305 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
306 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
307
308 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
309 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
310 [Steve Henson]
311
312 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
313 [Steve Henson]
314
315 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
316 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
317 [Steve Henson]
318
319 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
320 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
321 [Steve Henson]
322
323 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
324 certificates.
325 [Steve Henson]
326
327 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
328 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
329 CRLs using the OCSP API.
330 [Steve Henson]
331
332 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
333 [Steve Henson]
334
335 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
336 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
337 [Steve Henson]
338
339 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
340 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
341 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
342 tracing.
343 [Steve Henson]
344
345 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
346 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
347 [Steve Henson]
348
349 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
350 OID NID.
351 [Steve Henson]
352
353 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
354 client to OpenSSL.
355 [Steve Henson]
356
357 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
358 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
359 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
360 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
361 [Steve Henson]
362
363 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
364 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
365 [Steve Henson]
366
367 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
368 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
369 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
370 comparison.
371 [Steve Henson]
372
373 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
374 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
375 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
376 use the certificate.
377 [Steve Henson]
378
379 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
380 [Steve Henson]
381
382 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
383 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
384 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
385 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
386 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
387 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
388 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
389
390 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
391 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
392
393 [Steve Henson]
394
395 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
396 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
397 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
398 [Steve Henson]
399
400 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
401 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
402 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
403 supported signature algorithms.
404 [Steve Henson]
405
406 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
407 [Steve Henson]
408
409 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
410 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
411 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
412 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
413 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
414 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
415 certificate and specify the whole chain.
416 [Steve Henson]
417
418 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
419 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
420 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
421 to have similar checks in it.
422
423 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
424 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
425 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
426 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
427 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
428 [Steve Henson]
429
430 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
431 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
432 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
433 shared signature algorithms.
434 [Steve Henson]
435
436 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
437 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
438 to support them.
439 [Steve Henson]
440
441 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
442 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
443 it couldn't be removed.
444 [Steve Henson]
445
446 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
447 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
448 [Steve Henson]
449
450 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
451 functions. Add manual page.
452 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
453
454 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
455 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
456 a certificate.
457 [Steve Henson]
458
459 *) Fix OCSP checking.
460 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
461
462 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
463 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
464 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
465 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
466 utility) or reject.
467 [Steve Henson]
468
469 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
470 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
471 [Steve Henson]
472
473 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
474 platform support for Linux and Android.
475 [Andy Polyakov]
476
477 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
478 [Andy Polyakov]
479
480 *) RFC 5878 (TLS Authorization Extensions) support.
481 [Emilia Kasper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie (Google)]
482
483 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
484 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
485 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
486 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
487 (often lower perfomance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
488 [Steve Henson]
489
490 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
491 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
492 the new parameter format automatically.
493 [Steve Henson]
494
495 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
496 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
497 [Steve Henson]
498
499 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
500 [Steve Henson]
501
502 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
503 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
504 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
505 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
506 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
507 [Steve Henson]
508
509 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
510 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
511 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
512 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
513 to set list of supported curves.
514 [Steve Henson]
515
516 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
517 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
518 to print out received values.
519 [Steve Henson]
520
521 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
522 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
523 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
524 [Steve Henson]
525
526 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
527 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
528 [Steve Henson]
529
530 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
531 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
532 [Steve Henson]
533
534 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
535 certificates.
536 [Steve Henson]
537
538 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
539
540 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
541 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
542 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
543
544 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
545
546 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
547
548 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
549 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
550 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
551
552 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
553 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
554 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
555 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
556 (CVE-2013-0169)
557 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
558
559 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
560 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
561 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
562 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
563 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
564 (CVE-2012-2686)
565 [Adam Langley]
566
567 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
568 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
569 [Steve Henson]
570
571 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
572 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
573
574 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
575 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
576 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
577 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
578 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
579
580 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
581 [Steve Henson]
582
583 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
584 if renegotiating.
585 [Steve Henson]
586
587 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
588
589 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
590 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
591
592 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
593 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
594 (CVE-2012-2333)
595 [Steve Henson]
596
597 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
598 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
599 [Steve Henson]
600
601 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
602 approved.
603 [Steve Henson]
604
605 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
606
607 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
608 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
609 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
610 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
611 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
612 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
613 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
614 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
615 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
616 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
617 [Steve Henson]
618
619 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
620 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
621 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
622 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
623 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
624 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
625 client side.
626 [Andy Polyakov]
627
628 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
629
630 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
631 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
632 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
633
634 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
635 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
636 (CVE-2012-2110)
637 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
638
639 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
640 [Adam Langley]
641
642 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
643 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
644
645 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
646 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
647 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
648 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
649 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
650 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
651 Most broken servers should now work.
652 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
653 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
654 [Steve Henson]
655
656 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
657 [Andy Polyakov]
658
659 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
660
661 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
662 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
663 [Steve Henson]
664
665 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
666 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
667 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
668 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
669 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
670 [Steve Henson]
671
672 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
673 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
674 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
675 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
676 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
677 [Steve Henson]
678
679 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
680 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
681
682 *) Add support for SCTP.
683 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
684
685 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
686 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
687
688 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
689
690 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
691 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
692 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
693 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
694 - s390x: z196 support;
695 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
696
697 [Andy Polyakov]
698
699 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
700 (removal of unnecessary code)
701 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
702
703 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
704 [Eric Rescorla]
705
706 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
707 [Eric Rescorla]
708
709 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
710 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
711 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
712 by Google.
713 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
714
715 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
716 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
717 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
718 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
719 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
720
721 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
722 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
723 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
724
725 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
726 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
727 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
728
729 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
730 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
731 implementations).
732 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
733
734 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
735 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
736 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
737 [Steve Henson]
738
739 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
740 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
741 particular PSS.
742 [Steve Henson]
743
744 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
745 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
746 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
747 [Steve Henson]
748
749 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
750 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
751 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
752 the appropriate parameters.
753 [Steve Henson]
754
755 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
756 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
757 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
758 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
759 against a number of sample certificates.
760 [Steve Henson]
761
762 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
763 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
764
765 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
766 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
767
768 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
769 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
770 parameters r, s.
771 [Steve Henson]
772
773 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
774 RFC3211.
775 [Steve Henson]
776
777 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
778 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
779 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
780 password based CMS).
781 [Steve Henson]
782
783 *) Session-handling fixes:
784 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
785 but also support Session Tickets.
786 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
787 presented a ticket with an expired session.
788 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
789 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
790 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
791 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
792
793 *) Fix PSK session representation.
794 [Bodo Moeller]
795
796 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
797
798 This work was sponsored by Intel.
799 [Andy Polyakov]
800
801 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
802 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
803 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
804 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
805 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
806 [Steve Henson]
807
808 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
809 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
810 [Steve Henson]
811
812 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
813 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
814 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
815 [Steve Henson]
816
817 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
818 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
819 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
820 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
821 [Steve Henson]
822
823 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
824 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
825 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
826 [Steve Henson]
827
828 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
829 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
830
831 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
832 [Steve Henson]
833
834 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
835 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
836 [Steve Henson]
837
838 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
839 [Steve Henson]
840
841 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
842 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
843 [Steve Henson]
844
845 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
846 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
847 [Steve Henson]
848
849 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
850 [Steve Henson]
851
852 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
853 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
854 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
855 [Steve Henson]
856
857 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
858 [Steve Henson]
859
860 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
861 [Steve Henson]
862
863 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
864 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
865 [Steve Henson]
866
867 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
868 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
869 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
870 [Steve Henson]
871
872 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
873 [Steve Henson]
874
875 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
876 and enable MD5.
877 [Steve Henson]
878
879 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
880 FIPS modules versions.
881 [Steve Henson]
882
883 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
884 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
885 until after the certificate request message is received.
886 [Steve Henson]
887
888 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
889 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
890 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
891 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
892 [Steve Henson]
893
894 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
895 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
896 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
897 support yet and no support for client certificates.
898 [Steve Henson]
899
900 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
901 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
902 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
903 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
904 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
905 and version checking.
906 [Steve Henson]
907
908 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
909 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
910 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
911 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
912 [Steve Henson]
913
914 *) Add SRP support.
915 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
916
917 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
918 [Steve Henson]
919
920 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
921 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
922 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
923
924 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
925 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
926 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
927 [Steve Henson]
928
929 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
930 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
931
932 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
933 a few changes are required:
934
935 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
936 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
937 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
938 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
939 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
940 [Steve Henson]
941
942 Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
943
944 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
945
946 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
947 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
948 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
949
950 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
951 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
952 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
953 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
954 (CVE-2013-0169)
955 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
956
957 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
958 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
959 [Steve Henson]
960
961 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
962 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
963 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
964 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
965 (This is a backport)
966 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
967
968 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
969 [Steve Henson]
970
971 Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
972
973 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
974 OpenSSL 1.0.1.]
975
976 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
977 to fix DoS attack.
978
979 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
980 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
981 (CVE-2012-2333)
982 [Steve Henson]
983
984 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
985 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
986 [Steve Henson]
987
988 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
989
990 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
991 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
992 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
993
994 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
995 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
996 (CVE-2012-2110)
997 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
998
999 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1000
1001 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1002 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1003 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1004 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1005 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1006 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1007 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1008 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1009 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1010 [Steve Henson]
1011
1012 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1013 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1014 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1015 [Steve Henson]
1016
1017 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1018
1019 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1020 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1021 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1022 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1023 [Antonio Martin]
1024
1025 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1026
1027 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1028 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1029 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1030 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1031 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1032 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1033 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1034 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1035 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London

1037 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1038 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1039 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1040
1041 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1042 (CVE-2011-4576)
1043 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1044
1045 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1046 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1047 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1048 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1049
1050 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
1051 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
1052
1053 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1054 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1055 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1056 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1057
1058 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1059 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1060
1061 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1062 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1063
1064 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1065 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1066
1067 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1068 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1069 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1070
1071 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1072 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1073 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1074
1075 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1076 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1077 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1078 the last update always remained unused).
1079 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1080
1081 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
1082 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
1083
1084 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
1085
1086 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
1087 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
1088 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
1089
1090 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1091 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
1092 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1093
1094 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1095 [Bodo Moeller]
1096
1097 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
1098 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
1099 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
1100 [Steve Henson]
1101
1102 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1103 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1104
1105 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1106
1107 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1108
1109 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
1110
1111 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1112 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1113
1114 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1115 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1116 ambiguous.
1117 [Steve Henson]
1118
1119 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
1120
1121 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1122 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1123 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1124 [Steve Henson]
1125
1126 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1127 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1128 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1129 [Ben Laurie]
1130
1131 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
1132
1133 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1134 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1135 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1136 [Steve Henson]
1137
1138 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
1139 a DLL.
1140 [Steve Henson]
1141
1142 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
1143
1144 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
1145 (CVE-2010-1633)
1146 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
1147
1148 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
1149
1150 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
1151 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
1152 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
1153 [Steve Henson]
1154
1155 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
1156 [Steve Henson]
1157
1158 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
1159 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
1160 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
1161
1162 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1163 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1164 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1165 [Steve Henson]
1166
1167 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1168 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1169 [Steve Henson]
1170
1171 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1172 some responders need this.
1173 [Steve Henson]
1174
1175 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1176 correctly.
1177 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1178
1179 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1180 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1181 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1182 [Steve Henson]
1183
1184 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1185 [Steve Henson]
1186
1187 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1188 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1189 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1190 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1191 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1192 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1193 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1194 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1195 [Steve Henson]
1196
1197 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1198 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1199 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1200 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1201
1202 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1203 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1204
1205 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1206 be used on C++.
1207 [Steve Henson]
1208
1209 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1210 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1211 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1212 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1213 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1214 attempting to work them out.
1215 [Steve Henson]
1216
1217 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1218 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1219 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1220 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1221 [Steve Henson]
1222
1223 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1224 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1225 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1226 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1227 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1228 [Steve Henson]
1229
1230 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1231 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1232 you can do:
1233
1234 openssl sha256 foo
1235
1236 as well as:
1237
1238 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1239
1240 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1241
1242 [Steve Henson]
1243
1244 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1245 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1246
1247 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1248 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1249
1250 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1251 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1252 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1253 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1254 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1255 [Steve Henson]
1256
1257 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1258 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1259 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1260 [Steve Henson]
1261
1262 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1263 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1264 [Steve Henson]
1265
1266 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1267 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1268
1269 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1270 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1271 [Steve Henson]
1272
1273 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1274 [Ben Laurie]
1275
1276 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1277 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1278 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1279 CONF_VALUE.
1280 [Ben Laurie]
1281
1282 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1283 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1284 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1285 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1286 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1287 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1288 [Steve Henson]
1289
1290 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1291 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1292
1293 This work was sponsored by Google.
1294 [Steve Henson]
1295
1296 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1297 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1298 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1299 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1300 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1301 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1302 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1303 default.
1304
1305 This work was sponsored by Google.
1306 [Steve Henson]
1307
1308 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1309
1310 This work was sponsored by Google.
1311 [Steve Henson]
1312
1313 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1314 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1315 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1316 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1317
1318 This work was sponsored by Google.
1319 [Steve Henson]
1320
1321 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1322 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1323 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1324 CRL functionality in future.
1325
1326 This work was sponsored by Google.
1327 [Steve Henson]
1328
1329 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1330
1331 This work was sponsored by Google.
1332 [Steve Henson]
1333
1334 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1335 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1336
1337 This work was sponsored by Google.
1338 [Steve Henson]
1339
1340 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1341 and URI types are currently supported.
1342
1343 This work was sponsored by Google.
1344 [Steve Henson]
1345
1346 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1347 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1348 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1349 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1350 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1351 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1352 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1353 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1354
1355 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1356 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1357 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1358
1359 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1360 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1361 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1362 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1363
1364 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1365 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1366 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1367 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1368 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1369 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1370 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1371 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1372 of &errno.)
1373 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1374
1375 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1376 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1377 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1378
1379 This work was sponsored by Google.
1380 [Steve Henson]
1381
1382 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1383 [Ben Laurie]
1384
1385 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1386 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1387 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1388 [Ben Laurie]
1389
1390 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1391 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1392 [Nick Mathewson]
1393
1394 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1395 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1396 [Ben Laurie]
1397
1398 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1399 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1400 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1401 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1402 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1403 content types and variants.
1404 [Steve Henson]
1405
1406 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1407 [Steve Henson]
1408
1409 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1410 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1411 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1412 files from the associated perl scripts.
1413 [Steve Henson]
1414
1415 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1416 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1417 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1418
1419 *) s390x assembler pack.
1420 [Andy Polyakov]
1421
1422 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1423 "family."
1424 [Andy Polyakov]
1425
1426 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1427 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1428 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1429 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1430 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1431 to use. For example, specify an option
1432
1433 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1434
1435 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1436 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1437 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1438 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1439 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1440 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1441
1442 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1443 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1444 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1445 return non-zero for success.
1446
1447 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1448 by using
1449
1450 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1451 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1452
1453 where
1454
1455 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1456 void *arg;
1457
1458 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1459 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1460 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1461 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1462 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1463 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1464 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1465 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1466 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1467
1468 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1469 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1470 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1471 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1472 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1473 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1474
1475 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1476 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1477 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1478 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1479 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1480 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1481
1482 [Bodo Moeller]
1483
1484 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1485 MAC.
1486
1487 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1488
1489 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1490 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1491 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1492 supported.
1493
1494 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1495 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1496 SSL_SESSION.
1497
1498 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1499 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1500 with no application modification.
1501
1502 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1503 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1504
1505 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1506 or server extensions to be examined.
1507
1508 This work was sponsored by Google.
1509 [Steve Henson]
1510
1511 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1512 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1513 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1514
1515 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1516 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1517 ciphersuite support.
1518 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1519
1520 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1521 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1522 to output in BER and PEM format.
1523 [Steve Henson]
1524
1525 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1526 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1527 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1528 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1529 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1530 [Steve Henson]
1531
1532 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1533 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1534 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1535 utility.
1536 [Steve Henson]
1537
1538 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1539 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1540 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1541 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1542 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1543 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1544 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1545 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1546 enabled again.
1547
1548 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1549 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1550 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1551 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1552
1553 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1554 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1555 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1556 the default order.
1557 [Bodo Moeller]
1558
1559 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1560 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1561 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1562 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1563 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1564 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1565 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1566 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1567 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1568
1569 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1570 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1571 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1572 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1573 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1574 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1575 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1576 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1577 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1578 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1579 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1580 kinds of kludges.
1581
1582 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1583 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1584 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1585
1586 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1587 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1588 "CAMELLIA256".
1589 [Bodo Moeller]
1590
1591 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1592 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1593 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1594 [Nils Larsch]
1595
1596 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1597 it yet and it is largely untested.
1598 [Steve Henson]
1599
1600 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1601 [Nils Larsch]
1602
1603 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1604 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1605 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1606 [Steve Henson]
1607
1608 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1609 [Andy Polyakov]
1610
1611 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1612 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1613 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1614 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1615 [Steve Henson]
1616
1617 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1618 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1619 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1620 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1621 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1622 [Steve Henson]
1623
1624 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1625 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1626 [Cryptocom]
1627
1628 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1629 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1630 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1631 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1632 [Steve Henson]
1633
1634 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1635 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1636 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1637 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1638 [Steve Henson]
1639
1640 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1641 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1642 [Steve Henson]
1643
1644 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1645 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1646 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1647 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1648 [Steve Henson]
1649
1650 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1651 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1652 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1653 [Steve Henson]
1654
1655 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1656 utility.
1657 [Steve Henson]
1658
1659 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1660 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1661 [Steve Henson]
1662
1663 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1664 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1665 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1666 if necessary.
1667 [Steve Henson]
1668
1669 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1670 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1671 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1672 [Steve Henson]
1673
1674 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1675 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1676 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1677 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1678 [Steve Henson]
1679
1680 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1681 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1682 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1683 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1684 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1685 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1686 [Douglas Stebila]
1687
1688 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1689 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1690 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1691 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1692 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1693
1694 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1695 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1696 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1697 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1698 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1699 protocol).
1700
1701 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1702 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1703 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1704 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1705
1706 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1707 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1708 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1709 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1710 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1711
1712 aECDH - ECDH cert
1713 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
1714 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
1715
1716 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1717 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1718
1719 [Bodo Moeller]
1720
1721 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1722 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1723 [Steve Henson]
1724
1725 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1726 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1727 [Steve Henson]
1728
1729 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1730 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1731 functional reference processing.
1732 [Steve Henson]
1733
1734 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1735 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1736 process.
1737 [Steve Henson]
1738
1739 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1740 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1741 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1742 [Steve Henson]
1743
1744 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1745 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1746 application to support multiple signers.
1747 [Steve Henson]
1748
1749 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1750 digest MAC.
1751 [Steve Henson]
1752
1753 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1754 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1755 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1756 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1757 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1758 [Steve Henson]
1759
1760 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1761 new API.
1762 [Steve Henson]
1763
1764 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1765 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1766 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1767 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1768 a no op.
1769 [Steve Henson]
1770
1771 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1772 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1773 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1774 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1775 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1776 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1777 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1778 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1779 [Steve Henson]
1780
1781 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1782 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1783 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1784 between digests and public key types.
1785 [Steve Henson]
1786
1787 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1788 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1789 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1790 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1791 [Steve Henson]
1792
1793 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1794 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1795 key ASN1 method.
1796 [Steve Henson]
1797
1798 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1799 [Steve Henson]
1800
1801 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1802 pkeyutl.
1803 [Steve Henson]
1804
1805 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1806 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1807 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1808 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1809 pkey, genpkey.
1810 [Steve Henson]
1811
1812 *) BeOS support.
1813 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1814
1815 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1816 manual pages.
1817 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1818
1819 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1820 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1821 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1822 functionality for RSA.
1823 [Steve Henson]
1824
1825 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1826 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1827 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1828 [Steve Henson]
1829
1830 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1831 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1832 [Steve Henson]
1833
1834 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1835 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1836 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1837 [Steve Henson]
1838
1839 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1840 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1841 [Douglas Stebila]
1842
1843 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1844 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1845 [Steve Henson]
1846
1847 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1848 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1849 type.
1850 [Steve Henson]
1851
1852 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1853 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1854 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1855 structure.
1856 [Steve Henson]
1857
1858 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1859 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1860 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1861 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1862 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1863 of public and private key structures.
1864 [Steve Henson]
1865
1866 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1867 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1868 [Douglas Stebila]
1869
1870 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1871 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1872 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1873
1874 New ciphersuites:
1875 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1876 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
1877
1878 New functions:
1879 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1880 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1881 SSL_get_psk_identity
1882 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1883
1884 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1885
1886 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1887 and response verification functionality.
1888 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1889
1890 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1891 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1892 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1893 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1894 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1895 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1896 server_name extension.
1897
1898 New functions (subject to change):
1899
1900 SSL_get_servername()
1901 SSL_get_servername_type()
1902 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
1903
1904 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1905
1906 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1907 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1908 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1909 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1910 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1911
1912 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1913
1914 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1915 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1916 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1917 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1918 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1919 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1920 option.
1921
1922 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1923
1924 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1925 [Andy Polyakov]
1926
1927 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1928 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1929 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1930 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1931 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1932 [Andy Polyakov]
1933
1934 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1935 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1936 macro.
1937 [Bodo Moeller]
1938
1939 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1940 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1941 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1942 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1943 [Andy Polyakov]
1944
1945 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1946 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1947 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1948 using the maximum available value.
1949 [Steve Henson]
1950
1951 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1952 in addition to the text details.
1953 [Bodo Moeller]
1954
1955 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1956 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1957 handle several customised structures at all.
1958 [Steve Henson]
1959
1960 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1961 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1962 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1963 [Steve Henson]
1964
1965 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1966 [Steve Henson]
1967
1968 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1969 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1970 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1971 [Steve Henson]
1972
1973 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1974 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1975 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1976 [Nils Larsch]
1977
1978 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1979 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1980 all fields.
1981 [Steve Henson]
1982
1983 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1984 [Steve Henson]
1985
1986 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1987 [NTT]
1988
1989 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
1990
1991 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1992
1993 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1994 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1995 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1996
1997 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1998 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1999 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2000 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2001 (CVE-2013-0169)
2002 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2003
2004 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2005 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2006 [Steve Henson]
2007
2008 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2009 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2010 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2011 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2012 (This is a backport)
2013 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2014
2015 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2016 [Steve Henson]
2017
2018 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
2019
2020 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
2021 to fix DoS attack.
2022
2023 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2024 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2025 (CVE-2012-2333)
2026 [Steve Henson]
2027
2028 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2029 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2030 [Steve Henson]
2031
2032 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
2033
2034 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
2035 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
2036 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
2037 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
2038 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2039
2040 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
2041
2042 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2043 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2044 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2045
2046 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2047 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2048 (CVE-2012-2110)
2049 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2050
2051 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
2052
2053 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2054 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2055 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2056 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2057 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2058 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2059 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2060 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2061 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2062 [Steve Henson]
2063
2064 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2065 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2066 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2067 [Steve Henson]
2068
2069 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
2070
2071 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2072 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2073 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2074 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2075 [Antonio Martin]
2076
2077 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
2078
2079 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2080 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2081 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2082 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2083 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2084 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2085 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2086 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2087 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2088 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2089 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2090 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2091 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2092
2093 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
2094 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
2095
2096 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2097 (CVE-2011-4576)
2098 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2099
2100 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2101 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2102 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2103 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2104
2105 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2106 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2107 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2108 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2109
2110 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2111 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2112
2113 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2114 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2115
2116 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2117 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2118 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2119
2120 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2121 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2122 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2123
2124 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2125 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2126 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2127 the last update always remained unused).
2128 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2129
2130 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2131 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
2132 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2133
2134 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2135 [Bodo Moeller]
2136
2137 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2138 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2139
2140 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2141
2142 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2143
2144 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
2145
2146 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2147 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2148
2149 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2150 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2151 ambiguous.
2152 [Steve Henson]
2153
2154 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
2155
2156 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2157 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2158 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2159 [Steve Henson]
2160
2161 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2162 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2163 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2164 [Ben Laurie]
2165
2166 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
2167
2168 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2169 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2170 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2171 [Steve Henson]
2172
2173 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
2174 [Steve Henson]
2175
2176 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
2177 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
2178 some broken encodings work correctly.
2179 [Steve Henson]
2180
2181 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
2182 is also one of the inputs.
2183 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2184
2185 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
2186 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
2187 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
2188 etc are non-op.
2189 [Steve Henson]
2190
2191 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
2192
2193 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
2194 OpenSSL 1.0.0.]
2195
2196 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
2197 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
2198 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
2199
2200 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
2201 common in certificates and some applications which only call
2202 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
2203 [Steve Henson]
2204
2205 *) VMS fixes:
2206 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
2207 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
2208 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
2209 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
2210
2211 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2212
2213 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2214 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2215 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2216 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2217 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2218 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2219 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2220 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2221
2222 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2223 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2224 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2225
2226 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2227
2228 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2229 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2230
2231 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2232 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2233 [Bodo Moeller]
2234
2235 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2236 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2237 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2238 [Steve Henson]
2239
2240 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2241 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2242 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2243 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2244 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2245 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2246 [Steve Henson]
2247
2248 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2249 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2250 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2251 [Steve Henson]
2252
2253 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2254 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2255 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2256 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2257 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2258 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2259 CVE-2009-4355.
2260 [Steve Henson]
2261
2262 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2263 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2264 [Bodo Moeller]
2265
2266 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2267 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2268 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2269 [Steve Henson]
2270
2271 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2272 [Steve Henson]
2273
2274 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2275 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2276 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2277 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2278 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2279 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2280 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2281 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2282 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2283 [Steve Henson]
2284
2285 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2286 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2287 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2288 [Steve Henson]
2289
2290 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2291 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2292 [Steve Henson]
2293
2294 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2295 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2296 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2297 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2298 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2299 know what you are doing.
2300 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2301
2302 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2303 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2304 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2305 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2306 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2307 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2308 the handshake.
2309 [Steve Henson]
2310
2311 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2312 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2313 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2314 correctly.
2315 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2316
2317 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2318 warnings in other configurations.
2319 [Steve Henson]
2320
2321 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2322 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2323 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2324 systems need.
2325 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2326
2327 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2328 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2329 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2330
2331 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2332 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2333 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2334 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2335 [Steve Henson]
2336
2337 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2338 and restored.
2339 [Steve Henson]
2340
2341 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2342 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2343 clash.
2344 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2345
2346 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2347 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2348 other than a simple chain.
2349 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2350
2351 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2352 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2353 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2354 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2355 [Steve Henson]
2356
2357 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2358 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2359 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2360 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2361 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2362 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2363 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2364 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2365 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2366
2367 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2368 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2369 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2370 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2371 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2372 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2373 (CVE-2009-1377)
2374 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2375
2376 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2377 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2378 [Daniel Mentz]
2379
2380 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
2381 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
2382
2383 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
2384 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2385
2386 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2387
2388 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2389 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2390 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2391 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2392 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2393 you're doing.
2394 [Ben Laurie]
2395
2396 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2397
2398 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2399 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2400 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2401 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2402
2403 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2404 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2405 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2406 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2407
2408 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2409 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2410 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2411 [Steve Henson]
2412
2413 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2414 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2415 level.
2416 [Steve Henson]
2417
2418 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2419 to handle some structures.
2420 [Steve Henson]
2421
2422 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2423 for a '\n'
2424 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2425
2426 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2427 [Matthieu Herrb]
2428
2429 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2430 [Steve Henson]
2431
2432 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2433 [Steve Henson]
2434
2435 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2436 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2437 chosen compiler.
2438 [Ben Laurie]
2439
2440 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2441
2442 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2443 (CVE-2008-5077).
2444 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2445
2446 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2447 [Ben Laurie]
2448
2449 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2450 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2451 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2452 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2453
2454 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2455 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2456
2457 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2458 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2459 [Bodo Moeller]
2460
2461 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2462 s_client and s_server.
2463 [Ben Laurie]
2464
2465 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2466 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2467
2468 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2469 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2470
2471 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2472 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2473 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2474 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2475 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2476 [Bodo Moeller]
2477
2478 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2479
2480 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2481 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2482 [PR #1679]
2483
2484 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2485 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2486 [Nagendra Modadugu]
2487
2488 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2489 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2490 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2491 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2492
2493 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2494 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2495
2496 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2497
2498 *) Various precautionary measures:
2499
2500 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2501
2502 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2503 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2504 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2505
2506 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2507 outside the expected range.
2508
2509 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2510 builds.
2511
2512 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2513
2514 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2515 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2516 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2517
2518 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2519 [Steve Henson]
2520
2521 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2522 [Huang Ying]
2523
2524 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2525
2526 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2527 [Steve Henson]
2528
2529 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2530 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2531 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2532
2533 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2534 [Steve Henson]
2535
2536 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2537 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2538 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2539 files.
2540 [Steve Henson]
2541
2542 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2543
2544 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2545 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2546 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2547 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2548
2549 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2550 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2551 [Joe Orton]
2552
2553 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2554
2555 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2556 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2557 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2558
2559 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2560
2561 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2562 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2563 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2564 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2565 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2566
2567 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2568 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2569 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2570 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2571 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2572 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2573 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2574
2575 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2576
2577 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2578 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2579 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2580 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2581 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2582
2583 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2584 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2585
2586 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2587 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2588 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2589 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2590 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2591
2592 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2593
2594 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2595 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2596 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2597 sets may exist with different names.
2598 [Steve Henson]
2599
2600 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2601 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2602 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2603 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2604 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2605 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2606 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2607 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2608 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2609 implementation.
2610 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2611
2612 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2613 implemention in the following ways:
2614
2615 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2616 hard coded.
2617
2618 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2619 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2620 ignored for embedded content.
2621
2622 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2623 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2624 [Steve Henson]
2625
2626 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2627 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2628 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2629 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2630
2631 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2632 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2633 [Steve Henson]
2634
2635 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2636 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2637 [Steve Henson]
2638
2639 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2640 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2641 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2642 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2643 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2644 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2645 data.
2646 [Steve Henson]
2647
2648 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2649 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2650 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2651
2652 *) Netware support:
2653
2654 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2655 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2656 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2657 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2658 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2659 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2660 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2661 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2662 platform
2663 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2664 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2665 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2666 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2667 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2668 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2669 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2670
2671 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2672 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2673 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2674 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2675 to s_client and s_server.
2676 [Steve Henson]
2677
2678 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2679
2680 *) Fix various bugs:
2681 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2682 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2683 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2684 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2685 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2686
2687 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2688
2689 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2690 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2691 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2692 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2693 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2694 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2695 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2696 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2697 [Andy Polyakov]
2698
2699 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2700 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2701 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2702 Steve Henson]
2703
2704 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2705 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2706 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2707 supported.
2708
2709 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2710 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2711 SSL_SESSION.
2712
2713 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2714 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2715 with no application modification.
2716
2717 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2718 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2719
2720 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2721 or server extensions to be examined.
2722
2723 This work was sponsored by Google.
2724 [Steve Henson]
2725
2726 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2727 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2728 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2729 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2730 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2731 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2732 server_name extension.
2733
2734 New functions (subject to change):
2735
2736 SSL_get_servername()
2737 SSL_get_servername_type()
2738 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
2739
2740 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2741
2742 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2743 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2744 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2745 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2746 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2747
2748 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2749
2750 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2751 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2752 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2753 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2754 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2755 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2756 option.
2757
2758 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2759
2760 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2761 [Steve Henson]
2762
2763 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2764 [Andy Polyakov]
2765
2766 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2767 (which previously caused an internal error).
2768 [Bodo Moeller]
2769
2770 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2771 [Ben Laurie]
2772
2773 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2774 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2775
2776 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2777 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2778 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2779
2780 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2781 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2782 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2783 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2784
2785 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2786 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2787 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2788 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2789
2790 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2791 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2792 information. For detailed background information, see
2793 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2794 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2795 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2796 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2797 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2798 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2799 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2800 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2801 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2802 remove a conditional branch.
2803
2804 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2805 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2806 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2807 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2808 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2809 remains as a deprecated alias.
2810
2811 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2812 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2813 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2814 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2815
2816 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2817 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2818 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2819 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2820 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2821 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2822 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2823 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2824
2825 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2826
2827 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2828 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2829 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2830 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2831 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2832 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2833 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2834 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2835 in a different context.
2836 [Bodo Moeller]
2837
2838 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2839 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2840 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2841 [Bodo Moeller]
2842
2843 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2844 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2845 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2846
2847 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2848
2849 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2850 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2851 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2852 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2853 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2854 [Victor Duchovni]
2855
2856 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2857 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2858 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2859 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2860 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2861 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2862 [Bodo Moeller]
2863
2864 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2865 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2866 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2867 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2868 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2869 [Bodo Moeller]
2870
2871 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2872 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2873
2874 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2875 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2876 Improve header file function name parsing.
2877 [Steve Henson]
2878
2879 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2880 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2881 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
2882
2883 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2884
2885 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2886 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2887 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2888
2889 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2890 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2891
2892 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2893 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2894
2895 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2896 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2897 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2898
2899 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2900 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2901 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2902 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2903 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2904 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2905 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2906 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2907 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2908
2909 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2910 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2911 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2912 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2913 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2914
2915 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2916 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2917 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2918 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2919 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2920 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2921 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2922 multiple values to extend the available space.
2923
2924 [Bodo Moeller]
2925
2926 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2927
2928 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2929 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2930
2931 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2932 [Ben Laurie]
2933
2934 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2935 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2936 undesirable limitations.
2937 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2938
2939 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2940 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2941 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2942 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2943 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2944 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2945 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2946 [Bodo Moeller]
2947
2948 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2949
2950 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2951 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2952 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2953
2954 The latter two were purportedly from
2955 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2956 appear there.
2957
2958 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2959 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2960 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2961 [Bodo Moeller]
2962
2963 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2964 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2965 [Bodo Moeller]
2966
2967 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2968 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2969 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2970 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2971
2972 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2973 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2974 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2975 [NTT]
2976
2977 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2978 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2979 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2980 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2981 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2982 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2983 [Steve Henson]
2984
2985 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2986
2987 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2988 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2989 [Steve Henson]
2990
2991 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2992 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2993
2994 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2995 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2996 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2997 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2998 [Douglas Stebila]
2999
3000 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3001 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3002 [Steve Henson]
3003
3004 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3005 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3006 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3007 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3008 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3009 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3010 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3011 can't be loaded.
3012 [Steve Henson]
3013
3014 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3015 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3016 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3017 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3018 [Steve Henson]
3019
3020 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3021 under VC++ build system.
3022 [Steve Henson]
3023
3024 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3025 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3026 [Richard Levitte]
3027
3028 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3029
3030 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3031 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3032 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3033 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3034 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3035
3036 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3037 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3038 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3039
3040 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3041 [Steve Henson]
3042
3043 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3044 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3045 [Nils Larsch]
3046
3047 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3048 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3049
3050 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3051 [Nick Mathewson]
3052
3053 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3054 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3055
3056 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3057 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3058 [Steve Henson]
3059
3060 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3061 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3062 smime utility.
3063 [Steve Henson]
3064
3065 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3066
3067 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3068 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
3069
3070 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3071 [Richard Levitte]
3072
3073 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3074 key into the same file any more.
3075 [Richard Levitte]
3076
3077 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3078 [Andy Polyakov]
3079
3080 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3081 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3082
3083 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3084 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3085 [Richard Levitte]
3086
3087 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3088 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3089 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3090 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3091 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3092 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3093
3094 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3095 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3096 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3097 [Steve Henson]
3098
3099 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3100 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3101 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3102 - add new function for parameter creation
3103 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3104 BN_BLINDING parameters
3105 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3106 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3107 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3108 threads.
3109 [Nils Larsch]
3110
3111 *) Add support for DTLS.
3112 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3113
3114 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3115 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3116 [Walter Goulet]
3117
3118 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
3119 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3120 [Nils Larsch]
3121
3122 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3123 the apps/openssl applications.
3124 [Nils Larsch]
3125
3126 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3127 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3128 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3129 [Ben Laurie]
3130
3131 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3132 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3133
3134 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3135 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3136
3137 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3138 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3139 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3140 avoid this algorithm.)
3141
3142 [Bodo Moeller]
3143
3144 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3145 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3146 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3147 [Richard Levitte]
3148
3149 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3150 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3151 [Andy Polyakov]
3152
3153 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3154 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3155 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3156 pod file:
3157
3158 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3159
3160 The blank line is mandatory.
3161
3162 [Steve Henson]
3163
3164 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3165 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3166 sources.
3167 [Steve Henson]
3168
3169 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3170 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3171
3172 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3173 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3174 to support policy checking and print out.
3175 [Steve Henson]
3176
3177 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3178 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3179 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3180 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3181
3182 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3183 [Geoff Thorpe]
3184
3185 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3186 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3187
3188 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3189 implementation contributed by IBM.
3190 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3191
3192 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3193 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3194 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3195 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3196
3197 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3198 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3199
3200 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3201 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3202 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3203 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3204 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3205 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3206 [Steve Henson]
3207
3208 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3209 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3210 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3211 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3212 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3213 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3214 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3215 [Geoff Thorpe]
3216
3217 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3218 [Steve Henson]
3219
3220 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3221 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3222 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3223 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3224 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3225 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3226 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3227 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3228 [Steve Henson]
3229
3230 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3231 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3232 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3233 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3234 [Steve Henson]
3235
3236 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3237 syntax:
3238
3239 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3240 [Steve Henson]
3241
3242 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3243 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3244 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3245 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3246 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3247 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3248 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3249 [Geoff Thorpe]
3250
3251 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3252 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3253 [Geoff Thorpe]
3254
3255 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3256 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3257 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3258 [Steve Henson]
3259
3260 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3261 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3262 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3263 below).
3264 [Geoff Thorpe]
3265
3266 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3267 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3268 [Richard Levitte]
3269
3270 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3271 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3272 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3273 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3274 [Geoff Thorpe]
3275
3276 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3277 initialised value as BN_new().
3278 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3279
3280 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3281 [Steve Henson]
3282
3283 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3284 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3285 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3286 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3287 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3288 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3289 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3290 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3291 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3292 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3293 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3294 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3295 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3296 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3297 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3298
3299 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3300 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3301 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3302 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3303 [Geoff Thorpe]
3304
3305 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3306 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3307 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3308 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3309 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3310 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3311 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3312 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3313 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3314 [Geoff Thorpe]
3315
3316 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3317 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3318 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3319 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3320 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3321 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3322 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3323 [Geoff Thorpe]
3324
3325 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3326 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3327 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3328 these have been updated also.
3329 [Geoff Thorpe]
3330
3331 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3332 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3333 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3334 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3335 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3336 functions.
3337 [Steve Henson]
3338
3339 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3340 structure of type "other".
3341 [Steve Henson]
3342
3343 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3344 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3345 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3346 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3347 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3348 situation in the script.
3349 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3350
3351 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3352 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3353 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3354 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3355 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3356 used as premaster secret.
3357 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3358
3359 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3360 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3361 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3362
3363 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3364 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3365
3366 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3367 control of the error stack.
3368 [Richard Levitte]
3369
3370 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3371 [Richard Levitte]
3372
3373 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3374 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3375 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3376 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3377 [Richard Levitte]
3378
3379 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3380 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3381 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3382 [Richard Levitte]
3383
3384 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3385 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3386 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3387 a memory area.
3388 [Richard Levitte]
3389
3390 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3391 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3392 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3393 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3394 [Richard Levitte]
3395
3396 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3397 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3398 the following flags are defined:
3399
3400 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3401 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3402 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3403 number.
3404
3405 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3406 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3407 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3408 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3409 returns zero.
3410 [Richard Levitte]
3411
3412 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3413 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3414 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3415 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3416 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3417 [Richard Levitte]
3418
3419 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3420 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3421 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3422 [Richard Levitte]
3423
3424 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3425 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3426 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3427 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3428 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3429 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3430 [Richard Levitte]
3431
3432 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3433 req and dirName.
3434 [Steve Henson]
3435
3436 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3437 [Steve Henson]
3438
3439 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3440 [Steve Henson]
3441
3442 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3443 [Steve Henson]
3444
3445 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3446 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3447 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3448 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3449 default implementation more easily.
3450 [Geoff Thorpe]
3451
3452 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3453 in config files.
3454 [Steve Henson]
3455
3456 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3457 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3458 [Richard Levitte]
3459
3460 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3461 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3462 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3463 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3464
3465 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3466 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3467 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3468 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3469 [Steve Henson]
3470
3471 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3472 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3473 to do it.
3474 [Richard Levitte]
3475
3476 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3477 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3478 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3479 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3480 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3481 scalar * generator).
3482 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3483
3484 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3485 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3486 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3487 correctly.
3488 [Steve Henson]
3489
3490 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3491 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3492 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3493 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3494 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3495 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3496 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3497 linker additions, eg;
3498 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3499 [Geoff Thorpe]
3500
3501 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3502 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3503 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3504 [Geoff Thorpe]
3505
3506 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3507 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3508 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3509 via PR#459)
3510 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3511
3512 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3513 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3514 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3515 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3516 [Geoff Thorpe]
3517
3518 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3519 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3520 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3521 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3522 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3523 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3524 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3525 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3526 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3527 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3528
3529 Example for using the new callback interface:
3530
3531 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3532 void *my_arg = ...;
3533 BN_GENCB my_cb;
3534
3535 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3536
3537 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3538 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3539 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3540 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3541 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3542 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3543 */
3544
3545 [Geoff Thorpe]
3546
3547 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3548 available to TLS with the number defined in
3549 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3550 [Richard Levitte]
3551
3552 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3553 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3554
3555 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3556 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3557 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3558 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3559
3560 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3561 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3562
3563 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3564 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3565 well.
3566 [Richard Levitte]
3567
3568 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3569 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3570 [Richard Levitte]
3571
3572 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3573 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3574 and a macro that behave like
3575 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3576
3577 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3578 [Nils Larsch]
3579
3580 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3581 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3582 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3583 if applicable.
3584 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3585
3586 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3587 [Bodo Moeller]
3588
3589 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3590 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3591 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3592 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3593 directory engines/.
3594 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3595 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3596 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3597 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3598 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3599 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3600 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3601 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3602
3603 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3604 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3605 [Richard Levitte]
3606
3607 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3608 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3609
3610 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3611 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3612 files while avoiding the low level API.
3613
3614 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3615 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3616 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3617 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3618
3619 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3620 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3621 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3622 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3623 instead of the low level API.
3624 [Steve Henson]
3625
3626 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3627 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3628 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3629 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3630 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3631 PKCS#7 code.
3632
3633 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3634 down to the template encoder.
3635 [Steve Henson]
3636
3637 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3638 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3639 [Bodo Moeller]
3640
3641 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3642 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3643 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3644 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3645
3646 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3647 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3648
3649 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3650 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3651
3652 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3653 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3654 [Bodo Moeller]
3655
3656 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3657 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3658 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3659 [Bodo Moeller]
3660
3661 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3662 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3663
3664 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3665 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3666
3667 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3668 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3669 New EC_METHOD:
3670
3671 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3672
3673 New API functions:
3674
3675 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3676 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3677 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3678 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3679 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3680 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3681
3682 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3683 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3684 enable it).
3685
3686 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3687 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3688 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3689 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3690 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3691 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3692 various internal method names.)
3693
3694 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3695 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3696
3697 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3698 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3699
3700 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3701 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3702
3703 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3704 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3705 methods are undefined.
3706
3707 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3708 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3709
3710 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3711 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3712 length of the modulus.
3713
3714 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3715 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3716
3717 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3718 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3719
3720 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3721 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3722
3723 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3724 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3725 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3726
3727 BN_GF2m_add
3728 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3729 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3730 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3731 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3732 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
3733 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3734 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3735 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3736 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3737
3738 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3739 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3740
3741 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3742 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3743 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3744 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3745 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3746 where
3747 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3748 This applies to the following functions:
3749
3750 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
3751 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
3752 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
3753 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3754 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3755 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
3756 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3757 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3758 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
3759 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
3760
3761 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3762
3763 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
3764 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
3765
3766 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3767
3768 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3769 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3770 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3771 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3772 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3773
3774 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3775 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3776
3777 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3778 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3779 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3780
3781 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3782 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3783
3784 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3785 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3786 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3787 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3788 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3789
3790 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3791 functions
3792 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3793 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3794 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3795 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3796 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3797 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3798 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3799 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3800 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3801 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3802 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3803 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3804
3805 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3806 functions
3807 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
3808 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3809 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3810 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3811 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3812
3813 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3814 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3815 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3816 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3817
3818 *) Add functions
3819 EC_POINT_point2bn()
3820 EC_POINT_bn2point()
3821 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3822 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3823 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3824 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3825 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3826
3827 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3828 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3829 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3830 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3831 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3832 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3833 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3834 adding different types of curves.
3835 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3836
3837 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3838 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3839 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3840 [Bodo Moeller]
3841
3842 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3843 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3844
3845 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3846 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3847 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3848 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3849
3850 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3851
3852 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3853 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3854
3855 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3856 library. Most notably,
3857 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3858 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3859 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3860 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3861 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3862 extracted before the specific public key;
3863 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3864 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3865
3866 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3867 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3868 function
3869 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3870 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3871 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3872 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3873 accessed via
3874 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3875 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3876 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3877
3878 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3879 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3880 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3881 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3882 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3883 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3884 differing sizes.
3885 [Richard Levitte]
3886
3887 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3888
3889 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3890 sensitive data.
3891 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3892
3893 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3894 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3895 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3896 [Bodo Moeller]
3897
3898 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3899 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3900 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3901 [Victor Duchovni]
3902
3903 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3904 [Steve Henson]
3905
3906 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3907 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3908 [Steve Henson]
3909
3910 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3911 run algorithm test programs.
3912 [Steve Henson]
3913
3914 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3915 [Steve Henson]
3916
3917 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3918 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3919 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3920 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3921 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3922 [Bodo Moeller]
3923
3924 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3925 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3926 [Steve Henson]
3927
3928 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3929
3930 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3931 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3932 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3933
3934 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3935 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3936
3937 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3938 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3939
3940 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3941 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3942 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3943
3944 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3945 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3946 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3947 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3948 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3949 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3950 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3951 [Bodo Moeller]
3952
3953 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3954
3955 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3956 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3957
3958 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3959 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3960 undesirable limitations.
3961 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3962
3963 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3964
3965 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3966 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3967 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3968
3969 The latter two were purportedly from
3970 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3971 appear there.
3972
3973 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3974 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3975 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3976 [Bodo Moeller]
3977
3978 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3979 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3980 [Bodo Moeller]
3981
3982 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3983
3984 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3985 module in FIPS mode.
3986 [Steve Henson]
3987
3988 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3989 [Steve Henson]
3990
3991 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3992 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3993 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3994 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3995 [Steve Henson]
3996
3997 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3998
3999 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4000 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4001 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4002 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4003 the difference induced by this change.
4004 [Andy Polyakov]
4005
4006 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4007
4008 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4009 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4010 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4011 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4012 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4013
4014 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4015 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4016 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4017
4018 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4019 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4020 [Steve Henson]
4021
4022 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4023 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4024 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4025 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
4026 biased k.)
4027 [Bodo Moeller]
4028
4029 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
4030 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
4031 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
4032 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
4033 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
4034
4035 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
4036 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
4037 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
4038 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
4039 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
4040 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
4041
4042 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
4043
4044 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
4045 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
4046 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
4047 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
4048 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
4049 [Bodo Moeller]
4050
4051 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
4052 clients need.
4053 [Steve Henson]
4054
4055 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
4056 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
4057 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
4058 [Steve Henson]
4059
4060 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
4061 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
4062 structures constant.
4063 [Steve Henson]
4064
4065 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4066
4067 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4068 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4069
4070 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4071 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4072 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4073 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4074 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4075 some needed definitions.
4076 [Steve Henson]
4077
4078 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4079 [Ulf Möller]
4080
4081 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4082 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4083 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4084 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4085 [Richard Levitte]
4086
4087 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4088
4089 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4090 server and client random values. Previously
4091 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4092 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4093
4094 This change has negligible security impact because:
4095
4096 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4097 data.
4098
4099 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
4100 handshake.
4101
4102 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
4103 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
4104 values.
4105
4106 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
4107 to our attention.
4108
4109 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
4110
4111 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
4112 [Ulf Möller]
4113
4114 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
4115 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
4116 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
4117
4118 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
4119 [Steve Henson]
4120
4121 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
4122 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
4123 [Andy Polyakov]
4124
4125 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
4126 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
4127 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
4128
4129 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
4130 [Steve Henson]
4131
4132 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
4133 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
4134 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
4135 certificates.
4136 [Steve Henson]
4137
4138 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
4139 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
4140 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
4141 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
4142
4143 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
4144 has chosen to ignore this fault)
4145 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
4146 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
4147 been given)
4148 [Richard Levitte]
4149
4150 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
4151
4152 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
4153 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
4154 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
4155 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
4156 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
4157 [Steve Henson]
4158
4159 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
4160 [Steve Henson]
4161
4162 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
4163 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4164
4165 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4166 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4167 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4168 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4169 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4170 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4171 rather than being initialized to 1.
4172 [Steve Henson]
4173
4174 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4175
4176 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4177 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4178 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4179
4180 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4181 (CVE-2004-0112)
4182 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4183
4184 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4185 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4186 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4187 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4188 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4189 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4190 [Richard Levitte]
4191
4192 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4193 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4194 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4195 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4196 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4197 for these cases.
4198 [Steve Henson]
4199
4200 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4201 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4202 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4203 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4204 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4205 [Steve Henson]
4206
4207 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4208 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4209 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4210 < 0.9.7.
4211 [Steve Henson]
4212
4213 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4214 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4215
4216 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4217 [Steve Henson]
4218
4219 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4220
4221 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4222
4223 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4224 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4225
4226 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4227
4228 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4229 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4230
4231 [Steve Henson]
4232
4233 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4234 exiting on the first error in a request.
4235 [Steve Henson]
4236
4237 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4238 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4239 specifications.
4240 [Steve Henson]
4241
4242 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4243 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4244 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4245 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4246
4247 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4248 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4249 [Richard Levitte]
4250
4251 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4252 blocks during encryption.
4253 [Richard Levitte]
4254
4255 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4256 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4257 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4258 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4259 certain size.
4260 [Steve Henson]
4261
4262 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4263 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4264 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4265 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4266 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4267 parser.
4268 [Steve Henson]
4269
4270 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4271
4272 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4273 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4274 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4275 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4276 [Bodo Moeller]
4277
4278 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4279 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4280 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4281 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4282 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4283
4284 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4285 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4286 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4287 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4288 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4289 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4290 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4291 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4292 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4293 [Bodo Moeller]
4294
4295 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4296 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4297 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4298 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4299 [Geoff Thorpe]
4300
4301 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4302 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4303 [Ulf Moeller]
4304
4305 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4306
4307 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4308 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4309 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4310 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4311 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4312
4313 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4314 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4315 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4316
4317 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4318 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4319 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4320 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4321 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4322
4323 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4324 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4325 used by default when no-err is given.
4326 [Richard Levitte]
4327
4328 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4329 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4330
4331 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4332 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4333 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4334 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4335 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4336
4337 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4338 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4339 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4340 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4341
4342 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4343
4344 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4345
4346 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4347
4348 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4349 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4350 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4351 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4352 root is omitted).
4353 [Steve Henson]
4354
4355 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4356 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4357
4358 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4359 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4360 [Steve Henson]
4361
4362 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4363 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4364 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4365 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4366 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4367
4368 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4369 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4370 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4371 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4372 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4373 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4374 followup to PR #377.
4375 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4376
4377 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4378 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4379 [Andy Polyakov]
4380
4381 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4382 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4383 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
4384 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
4385
4386 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
4387
4388 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
4389 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
4390
4391 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
4392 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
4393 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
4394 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
4395 client and server.
4396 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4397 PR #377.
4398 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4399
4400 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
4401 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
4402 removed entirely.
4403 [Richard Levitte]
4404
4405 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4406 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4407 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4408 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4409 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4410 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4411 of libcrypto.
4412 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4413 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4414 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4415 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4416 have to be made anyway).
4417 [Richard Levitte]
4418
4419 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4420 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4421 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4422 [Steve Henson]
4423
4424 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4425 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4426 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
4427 [Richard Levitte]
4428
4429 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
4430 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
4431 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4432
4433 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
4434 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
4435 edit numbers of the version.
4436 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4437
4438 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
4439 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
4440 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
4441
4442 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
4443 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4444
4445 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4446 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4447 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4448
4449 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
4450 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4451
4452 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
4453 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4454
4455 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
4456 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4457
4458 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
4459 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4460
4461 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
4462 overflows.
4463 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4464
4465 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
4466 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
4467 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4468
4469 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
4470 representations in a platform independent manner.
4471 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4472
4473 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4474 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4475 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4476
4477 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4478 indents.
4479 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4480
4481 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4482 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4483
4484 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4485 full. Fixed.
4486 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4487
4488 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4489 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4490 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4491
4492 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4493 unconditionally).
4494 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4495
4496 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4497 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4498
4499 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4500 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4501
4502 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4503 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4504
4505 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4506 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4507
4508 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4509 CBCParameter.
4510 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4511
4512 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4513 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4514
4515 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
4516 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4517
4518 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4519 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4520 exploitable.
4521 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4522
4523 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4524 the 0.9.6 release series:
4525
4526 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4527 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4528 (CVE-2002-0657)
4529 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4530
4531 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4532 [Richard Levitte]
4533
4534 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4535 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4536
4537 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4538 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4539
4540 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4541 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4542 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4543 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4544
4545 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4546 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4547 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4548
4549 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4550 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4551 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4552 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4553
4554 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4555 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4556 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4557 some local tweaks:
4558
4559 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4560 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4561 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4562 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4563 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4564 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4565 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4566 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4567 done
4568
4569 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4570 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4571 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4572 [Richard Levitte]
4573
4574 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4575 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4576 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4577 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4578 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4579
4580 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4581 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4582
4583 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4584 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4585 [Richard Levitte]
4586
4587 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4588 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4589 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4590 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4591 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4592 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4593 [Steve Henson]
4594
4595 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4596 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4597 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4598 [Steve Henson]
4599
4600 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4601 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4602 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4603
4604 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4605 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4606 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4607 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4608 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4609 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4610 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4611 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4612
4613 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4614 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4615 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4616 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4617 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4618 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4619 [Steve Henson]
4620
4621 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4622 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4623 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4624 declaration has been changed from
4625 int (*cb)()
4626 into
4627 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4628 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4629 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4630 has been changed into
4631 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4632
4633 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4634 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4635 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4636
4637 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4638 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4639
4640 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4641 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4642 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4643 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4644 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4645 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4646 always load it have also been added.
4647 [Steve Henson]
4648
4649 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4650 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4651 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4652
4653 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4654
4655 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4656 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4657 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4658
4659 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4660 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4661 command line option can be used to specify an
4662 alternative file.
4663 [Steve Henson]
4664
4665 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4666 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4667 [Steve Henson]
4668
4669 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4670 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4671 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4672 [Steve Henson]
4673
4674 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4675 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4676 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4677 to work with the new engine framework.
4678 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4679
4680 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4681 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4682 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4683 to work with the new engine framework.
4684 [Richard Levitte]
4685
4686 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4687 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4688 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4689
4690 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4691 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4692
4693 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4694 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4695 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4696 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4697 FORMAT_IISSGC.
4698 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4699
4700 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4701 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4702
4703 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4704 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4705
4706 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4707 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4708 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4709 [Ben Laurie]
4710
4711 *) Add new functions
4712 ERR_peek_last_error
4713 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4714 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4715 These are similar to
4716 ERR_peek_error
4717 ERR_peek_error_line
4718 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4719 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4720 still in the error queue.
4721 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4722
4723 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4724 like:
4725 default_algorithms = ALL
4726 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4727 [Steve Henson]
4728
4729 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4730 [Steve Henson]
4731
4732 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4733 [Steve Henson]
4734
4735 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4736 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4737 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4738 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4739
4740 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4741 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4742
4743 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4744 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4745
4746 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4747 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4748 [Bodo Moeller]
4749
4750 *) New functions/macros
4751
4752 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4753 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4754 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4755 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4756
4757 to request calling a callback function
4758
4759 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4760 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4761
4762 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4763 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4764 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4765 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4766 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4767 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4768 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4769 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4770 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4771 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4772
4773 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4774 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4775 [Bodo Moeller]
4776
4777 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4778 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4779 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4780 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4781 the configuration scripts.
4782
4783 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4784 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4785 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4786
4787 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4788 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4789
4790 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4791 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4792 when reusing an existing buffer.
4793 [Bodo Moeller]
4794
4795 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4796 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4797 [Steve Henson]
4798
4799 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4800 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4801 [Ben Laurie]
4802
4803 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4804 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4805 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4806 has the same effect.
4807 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4808
4809 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4810 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4811 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4812 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4813 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4814 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4815 exception.
4816
4817 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4818 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4819 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4820 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4821
4822 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4823 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4824 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4825 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4826
4827 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4828 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4829 won't work.
4830
4831 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4832 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4833 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4834 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4835 default), and then completely removed.
4836 [Richard Levitte]
4837
4838 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4839 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4840 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4841 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4842 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4843 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4844 particular extension is supported.
4845 [Steve Henson]
4846
4847 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4848 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4849 [Steve Henson]
4850
4851 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4852 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4853 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4854 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4855 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4856 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4857 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4858 requires the destination to be valid.
4859
4860 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4861 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4862 [Steve Henson]
4863
4864 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4865 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4866 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4867 [Bodo Moeller]
4868
4869 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4870 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4871
4872 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4873 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4874 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4875 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4876 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4877 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4878 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4879 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4880 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4881 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4882 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4883 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4884 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4885 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4886 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4887 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4888 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4889 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4890 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4891 the new code.
4892 [Geoff Thorpe]
4893
4894 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4895 [Steve Henson]
4896
4897 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4898 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4899 become part of libeay.num as well.
4900 [Richard Levitte]
4901
4902 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4903 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4904 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4905 false once a handshake has been completed.
4906 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4907 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4908 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4909 client has followed the request.)
4910 [Bodo Moeller]
4911
4912 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4913 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4914 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4915 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4916
4917 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4918 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4919 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4920 [Bodo Moeller]
4921
4922 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4923 [Steve Henson]
4924
4925 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4926 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4927 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4928 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4929
4930 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4931 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4932 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4933
4934 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4935 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4936 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4937 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4938 [Geoff Thorpe]
4939
4940 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4941 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4942 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4943 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4944 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4945 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4946 [Geoff Thorpe]
4947
4948 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4949 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4950 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4951 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4952 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4953 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4954 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4955 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4956 [Geoff Thorpe]
4957
4958 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4959 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4960 [Geoff Thorpe]
4961
4962 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4963 [Ben Laurie]
4964
4965 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4966 md_data void pointer.
4967 [Ben Laurie]
4968
4969 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4970 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4971 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4972 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4973 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4974 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4975 [Ben Laurie]
4976
4977 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4978 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4979 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4980 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4981 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4982 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4983 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4984 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4985 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4986 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4987 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4988 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4989 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4990 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4991 rather than letting it slide.
4992
4993 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4994 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4995 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4996 [Geoff Thorpe]
4997
4998 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4999 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
5000 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
5001 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
5002 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
5003 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
5004 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
5005 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
5006 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
5007 [Geoff Thorpe]
5008
5009 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
5010 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
5011 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
5012 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
5013 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
5014
5015 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
5016 [Geoff Thorpe]
5017
5018 *) Add EVP test program.
5019 [Ben Laurie]
5020
5021 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
5022 [Ben Laurie]
5023
5024 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
5025 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
5026 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
5027 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
5028 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
5029 [Steve Henson]
5030
5031 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
5032 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
5033 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
5034 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
5035 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
5036 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
5037 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
5038
5039 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
5040 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
5041 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
5042 Usage example:
5043
5044 EVP_MD_CTX md;
5045
5046 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
5047 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
5048 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
5049 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
5050 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
5051
5052 [Ben Laurie]
5053
5054 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
5055 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
5056 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
5057 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
5058 anyway): E.g.,
5059
5060 des_key_schedule ks;
5061
5062 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
5063 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
5064
5065 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
5066 [Ben Laurie]
5067
5068 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
5069 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
5070 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
5071 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
5072 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
5073 functions prevents this.
5074 [Steve Henson]
5075
5076 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
5077 [Ben Laurie]
5078
5079 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
5080 correct _ecb suffix.
5081 [Ben Laurie]
5082
5083 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
5084 revocation information is handled using the text based index
5085 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
5086 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
5087 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
5088 [Steve Henson]
5089
5090 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
5091 [Richard Levitte]
5092
5093 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
5094 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
5095 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
5096 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
5097
5098 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
5099 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
5100
5101 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
5102 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5103 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
5104 via Richard Levitte]
5105
5106 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
5107 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
5108 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
5109 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
5110 [Geoff Thorpe]
5111
5112 *) Speed up EVP routines.
5113 Before:
5114 encrypt
5115 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
5116 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
5117 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

5122 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
5123 After:

5125 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
5126 decrypt
5127 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
5128 [Ben Laurie]
5129
5130 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
5131 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
5132
5133 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
5134 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
5135 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
5136 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
5137 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
5138 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
5139 [Steve Henson]
5140
5141 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
5142 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
5143 [Richard Levitte]
5144
5145 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
5146 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
5147 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
5148 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
5149
5150 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
5151 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
5152 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
5153 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
5154 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
5155 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
5156 callback.
5157 [Richard Levitte]
5158
5159 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
5160 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
5161 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
5162 and interrupts/cancellations.
5163 [Richard Levitte]
5164
5165 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
5166 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5167 [Steve Henson]
5168
5169 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5170 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5171 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5172
5173 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5174 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5175 kind of callback.
5176 [Richard Levitte]
5177
5178 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5179 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5180 than this minimum value is recommended.
5181 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5182
5183 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5184 that are easily reachable.
5185 [Richard Levitte]
5186
5187 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5188 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5189
5190 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5191
5192 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5193 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5194 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5195 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5196 [Steve Henson]
5197
5198 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5199 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5200 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5201 [Steve Henson]
5202
5203 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5204 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5205 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5206 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5207 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5208 internally such as S/MIME.
5209
5210 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5211 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5212 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5213
5214 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5215 applications.
5216 [Steve Henson]
5217
5218 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5219 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5220 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5221 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5222
5223 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5224
5225 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5226
5227 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5228 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5229 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5230 handling.
5231 [Steve Henson]
5232
5233 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5234 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5235 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5236 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5237 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5238 a window system and the like.
5239 [Richard Levitte]
5240
5241 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5242 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5243 [Geoff]
5244
5245 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5246 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5247 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5248 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5249 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5250 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5251 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5252 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5253 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5254 ENGINE structure.
5255 [Geoff]
5256
5257 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5258 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5259 tag cache.
5260 [Steve Henson]
5261
5262 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5263 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5264 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5265 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5266 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
5267 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
5268 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
5269 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
5270 [Geoff]
5271
5272 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
5273 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
5274 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
5275 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
5276 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
5277 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
5278 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
5279 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
5280 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
5281 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
5282 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
5283 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
5284 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
5285 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
5286 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
5287 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
5288 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
5289 [Geoff]
5290
5291 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
5292 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
5293 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
5294 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
5295 internal engine_int.h header.
5296 [Geoff]
5297
5298 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
5299 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
5300 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
5301 modify their own ones).
5302 [Geoff]
5303
5304 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5305 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5306 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5307 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5308 later on via ctrl() commands.
5309 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5310 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5311 structural references.
5312 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5313 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5314 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5315 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5316 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5317 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5318 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5319 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5320 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5321 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5322 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5323 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5324 [Geoff]
5325
5326 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5327 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5328 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5329 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5330 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5331 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5332 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5333 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5334 [Bodo Moeller]
5335
5336 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5337 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5338 [Steve Henson]
5339
5340 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5341 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5342 [Steve Henson]
5343
5344 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5345 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5346 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5347 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5348 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5349 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5350 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5351 [Steve Henson]
5352
5353 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5354 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5355 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5356 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5357 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5358
5359 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5360 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5361 generator).
5362 [Bodo Moeller]
5363
5364 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5365
5366 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5367 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5368 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5369
5370 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5371 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5372
5373 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5374 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5375 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5376
5377 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5378 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5379
5380 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5381 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5382
5383 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5384
5385 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5386 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5387 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5388 [Bodo Moeller]
5389
5390 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5391 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5392 [Richard Levitte]
5393
5394 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5395 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5396 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5397 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5398 is 40 of more characters long.
5399 [Steve Henson]
5400
5401 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5402 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5403 pointers.
5404 [Steve Henson]
5405
5406 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5407 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5408 [Bodo Moeller]
5409
5410 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5411 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5412 might.
5413 [Steve Henson]
5414
5415 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5416
5417 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5418 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5419
5420 ASN1 error codes
5421 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5422 ...
5423 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5424 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5425 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5426 ...
5427 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5428 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5429
5430 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5431 [Bodo Moeller]
5432
5433 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5434 suffices.
5435 [Bodo Moeller]
5436
5437 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5438 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5439 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5440 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5441 and
5442 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5443
5444 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5445 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5446
5447 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5448 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5449 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5450 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5451 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5452 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5453
5454 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5455 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5456
5457 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5458 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5459
5460 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5461 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5462
5463 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5464 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5465 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5466 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5467
5468 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5469 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5470
5471 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5472 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5473
5474 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5475 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5476 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5477 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5478 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5479 [Richard Levitte]
5480
5481 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5482 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5483 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5484 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5485 [Steve Henson]
5486
5487 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5488 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5489 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5490 trust settings.
5491 [Steve Henson]
5492
5493 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5494 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5495 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5496 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5497 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5498 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5499 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5500 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5501 ocsp utility.
5502 [Steve Henson]
5503
5504 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5505 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5506 [Steve Henson]
5507
5508 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5509 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5510 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5511 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5512 [Steve Henson]
5513
5514 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5515 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5516 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5517 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5518 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5519 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5520 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5521 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5522 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5523 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5524 [Steve Henson]
5525
5526 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5527 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5528 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5529 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5530 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5531 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5532 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5533 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5534
5535 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5536 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5537 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5538 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5539 [Richard Levitte]
5540
5541 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5542 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5543 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5544 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5545 opensslconf.h.
5546 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5547 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5548 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5549 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5550 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5551 what is available.
5552 [Richard Levitte]
5553
5554 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5555 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5556 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5557 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5558 auto incremented.
5559 [Steve Henson]
5560
5561 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5562 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5563 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5564 [Steve Henson]
5565
5566 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5567 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5568 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5569 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5570 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5571 [Steve Henson]
5572
5573 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5574 [Steve Henson]
5575
5576 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5577 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5578 option to ocsp utility.
5579 [Steve Henson]
5580
5581 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5582 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5583 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5584 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5585 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5586 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5587 the request is nonce-less.
5588 [Steve Henson]
5589
5590 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5591 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5592 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5593 [Bodo Moeller]
5594
5595 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5596 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5597 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5598 [Steve Henson]
5599
5600 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5601 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5602 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5603 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5604 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5605 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5606
5607 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5608 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5609 appear to exist.
5610 [Steve Henson]
5611
5612 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5613 additional certificates supplied.
5614 [Steve Henson]
5615
5616 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5617 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5618 signature against.
5619 [Richard Levitte]
5620
5621 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5622 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5623 AES OIDs.
5624
5625 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5626 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5627 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5628 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5629 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5630 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5631 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5632 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5633 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5634
5635 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5636 request to response.
5637 [Steve Henson]
5638
5639 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5640 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5641 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5642 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5643 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5644 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5645 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5646 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5647 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5648 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5649 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5650 [Steve Henson]
5651
5652 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5653 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5654 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5655 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5656 [Steve Henson]
5657
5658 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5659 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5660
5661 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5662 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5663 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5664 [Steve Henson]
5665
5666 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5667 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5668 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5669 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5670 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5671
5672 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5673 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5674 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5675 [Steve Henson]
5676
5677 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5678 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5679 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5680 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5681 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5682 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5683 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5684 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5685
5686 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5687 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5688 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5689 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5690 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5691 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5692 [Steve Henson]
5693
5694 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5695 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5696 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5697 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5698 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5699 printout format cleaned up.
5700 [Steve Henson]
5701
5702 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5703 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5704 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5705 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5706 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5707 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5708 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5709 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5710 [Steve Henson]
5711
5712 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5713 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5714 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5715 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5716 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5717 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5718 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5719 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5720 [Steve Henson]
5721
5722 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5723 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5724 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5725 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5726 section to use.
5727 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5728
5729 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5730 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5731 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5732 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5733 [Steve Henson]
5734
5735 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5736 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5737 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5738 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5739 in the index file.
5740 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5741
5742 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5743 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5744 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5745 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5746
5747 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5748 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5749
5750 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5751 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5752 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5753 [Steve Henson]
5754
5755 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5756 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5757 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5758 [Bodo Moeller]
5759
5760 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5761 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5762 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5763 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5764 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5765 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5766 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5767 functions are provided:
5768
5769 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5770 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5771 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5772 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5773
5774 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5775 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5776 extended allocation function is enabled.
5777 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5778 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5779 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5780
5781 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5782 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5783 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5784 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5785 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5786 [Geoff Thorpe]
5787
5788 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5789 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5790 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5791 be queried.
5792 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5793 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5794 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5795 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5796
5797 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5798 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5799 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5800 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5801 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5802 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5803 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5804 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5805 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5806 [Richard Levitte]
5807
5808 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5809 provide utility functions which an application needing
5810 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5811 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5812 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5813
5814 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5815 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5816 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5817 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5818 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5819 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5820 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5821 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5822 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5823
5824 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5825 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5826 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5827 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5828 [Steve Henson]
5829
5830 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5831 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5832 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5833 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5834 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5835 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5836 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5837 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5838 will be added elsewhere.
5839 [Steve Henson]
5840
5841 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5842 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5843 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5844 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5845 [Steve Henson]
5846
5847 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5848 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5849 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5850 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5851 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5852 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5853 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5854 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5855 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5856 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5857 to produce the required SET OF.
5858 [Steve Henson]
5859
5860 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5861 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5862 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5863 [Richard Levitte]
5864
5865 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5866 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5867 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5868 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5869 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5870 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5871 [Steve Henson]
5872
5873 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5874 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5875 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5876 [Steve Henson]
5877
5878 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5879 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5880 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5881 [Richard Levitte]
5882
5883 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5884 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5885 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5886 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5887 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5888 [Steve Henson]
5889
5890 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5891 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5892 [Steve Henson]
5893
5894 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5895 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5896 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5897 certifcates and CRLs.
5898 [Steve Henson]
5899
5900 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5901 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5902 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5903 [Steve Henson]
5904
5905 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5906 entries for variables.
5907 [Steve Henson]
5908
5909 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5910 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5911 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5912 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5913 [Bodo Moeller]
5914
5915 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5916 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5917 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5918 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5919 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5920 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5921 [Bodo Moeller]
5922
5923 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5924 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5925
5926 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5927 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5928 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5929 [Steve Henson]
5930
5931 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5932 print routines.
5933 [Steve Henson]
5934
5935 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5936 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5937 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5938 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5939 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5940 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5941 [Steve Henson]
5942
5943 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5944 [Steve Henson]
5945
5946 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5947 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5948 for now but they will eventually go away.
5949 [Steve Henson]
5950
5951 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5952 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5953 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5954 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5955 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5956 has also been converted to the new form.
5957 [Steve Henson]
5958
5959 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5960 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5961 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5962 for negative moduli.
5963 [Bodo Moeller]
5964
5965 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5966 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5967 [Bodo Moeller]
5968
5969 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5970 set.
5971 [Bodo Moeller]
5972
5973 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5974 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5975 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5976 type-specific callbacks.
5977 [Geoff Thorpe]
5978
5979 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5980 RFC 2712.
5981 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5982 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5983
5984 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5985 in sections depending on the subject.
5986 [Richard Levitte]
5987
5988 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5989 Windows.
5990 [Richard Levitte]
5991
5992 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5993 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5994 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5995 be handled deterministically).
5996 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5997
5998 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5999 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
6000 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
6001 [Bodo Moeller]
6002
6003 *) New function BN_kronecker.
6004 [Bodo Moeller]
6005
6006 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
6007 positive unless both parameters are zero.
6008 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
6009 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
6010 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
6011 [Bodo Moeller]
6012
6013 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
6014 sign of the number in question.
6015
6016 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
6017
6018 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
6019 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
6020 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
6021 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
6022 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
6023 [Bodo Moeller]
6024
6025 *) New function BN_swap.
6026 [Bodo Moeller]
6027
6028 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
6029 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
6030 results on negative inputs.
6031 [Bodo Moeller]
6032
6033 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
6034 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
6035 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
6036 [Bodo Moeller]
6037
6038 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
6039 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
6040 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
6041 and add new functions:
6042
6043 BN_nnmod
6044 BN_mod_sqr
6045 BN_mod_add
6046 BN_mod_add_quick
6047 BN_mod_sub
6048 BN_mod_sub_quick
6049 BN_mod_lshift1
6050 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
6051 BN_mod_lshift
6052 BN_mod_lshift_quick
6053
6054 These functions always generate non-negative results.
6055
6056 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
6057 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
6058
6059 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
6060 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
6061 be reduced modulo m.
6062 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6063
6064 #if 0
6065 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
6066 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
6067 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
6068
6069 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6070 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6071 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6072 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6073 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6074 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6075 differing sizes.
6076 [Richard Levitte]
6077 #endif
6078
6079 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
6080 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
6081 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
6082 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
6083 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
6084
6085 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
6086 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
6087 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
6088 cause any problems.
6089 [Bodo Moeller]
6090
6091 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
6092 [Richard Levitte]
6093
6094 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
6095 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
6096 [Richard Levitte]
6097
6098 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
6099 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
6100 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
6101 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
6102 time)
6103 [Richard Levitte]
6104
6105 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
6106 [Richard Levitte]
6107
6108 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
6109 [Richard Levitte]
6110
6111 *) Add the following functions:
6112
6113 ENGINE_load_cswift()
6114 ENGINE_load_chil()
6115 ENGINE_load_atalla()
6116 ENGINE_load_nuron()
6117 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
6118
6119 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
6120 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
6121 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
6122 libraries unless it's really needed.
6123
6124 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
6125 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
6126 declarations (they differed!).
6127 [Richard Levitte]
6128
6129 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
6130 [Richard Levitte]
6131
6132 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
6133 [Richard Levitte]
6134
6135 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
6136 [Bodo Moeller]
6137
6138 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
6139 identity, and test if they are actually available.
6140 [Richard Levitte]
6141
6142 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
6143 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
6144 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6145
6146 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
6147 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
6148 [Richard Levitte]
6149
6150 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
6151 [Richard Levitte]
6152
6153 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
6154 [Richard Levitte]
6155
6156 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
6157 [Ben Laurie]
6158
6159 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
6160 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
6161 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
6162
6163 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
6164 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
6165 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
6166 different shared library filenames on each system.
6167 [Geoff Thorpe]
6168
6169 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6170 [Richard Levitte]
6171
6172 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6173 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6174 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6175 of two sections.
6176 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6177
6178 *) NCONF changes.
6179 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6180 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6181 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6182 binary backward compatibility.
6183 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6184 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6185 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6186 LDAP server.
6187 [Richard Levitte]
6188
6189 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6190 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6191 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6192 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6193 this case.
6194 [Steve Henson]
6195
6196 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6197 [Ben Laurie]
6198
6199 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6200 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6201 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6202 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6203 set.
6204 [Steve Henson]
6205
6206 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6207 [Richard Levitte]
6208
6209 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6210
6211 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6212 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6213 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6214
6215 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6216
6217 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6218
6219 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6220 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6221 [Steve Henson]
6222
6223 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6224
6225 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6226
6227 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6228 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6229
6230 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6231 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6232
6233 [Steve Henson]
6234
6235 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6236 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6237 specifications.
6238 [Steve Henson]
6239
6240 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6241 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6242 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6243 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6244
6245 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6246 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6247 [Richard Levitte]
6248
6249 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6250
6251 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6252 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6253 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6254 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6255 [Bodo Moeller]
6256
6257 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6258 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6259 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6260 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6261 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6262
6263 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6264 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6265 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6266 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6267 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6268 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6269 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6270 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6271 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6272 [Bodo Moeller]
6273
6274 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
6275
6276 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6277 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
6278 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6279 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6280 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6281
6282 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6283 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6284 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6285
6286 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
6287
6288 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
6289 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
6290 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
6291 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
6292 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
6293 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
6294 [Geoff Thorpe]
6295
6296 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
6297 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
6298 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
6299 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
6300 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6301 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6302
6303 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6304 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6305 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6306
6307 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6308 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6309 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6310 EVP_cleanup().
6311 [Richard Levitte]
6312
6313 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6314 being properly terminated.
6315 [Richard Levitte]
6316
6317 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6318 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6319 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6320 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6321
6322 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6323 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6324 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6325 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6326 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6327 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6328 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6329 change.
6330 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6331
6332 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6333 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6334 [Bodo Moeller]
6335
6336 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6337 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6338 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6339 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6340 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6341 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6342 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6343 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6344
6345 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6346 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6347 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6348 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6349 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6350
6351 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6352 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6353 [Steve Henson]
6354
6355 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6356
6357 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6358 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6359 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6360
6361 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6362
6363 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6364 and get fix the header length calculation.
6365 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6366 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6367 Steve Henson]
6368
6369 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6370 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6371 assertions could call abort()).
6372 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6373
6374 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6375
6376 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6377 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6378 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6379 supplied buffer.
6380 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6381
6382 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6383 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6384 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6385 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6386
6387 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6388 [Nils Larsch]
6389
6390 *) New option
6391 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6392 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6393 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6394
6395 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6396 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6397 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6398 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6399 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6400 applications.
6401 [Bodo Moeller]
6402
6403 *) Changes in security patch:
6404
6405 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6406 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6407 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6408 F30602-01-2-0537.
6409
6410 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6411 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6412 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6413 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6414 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6415
6416 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6417 happen in practice.
6418 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6419
6420 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6421 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6422 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6423
6424 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6425 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6426 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6427
6428 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6429 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6430 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6431
6432 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6433
6434 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6435 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6436 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6437
6438 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6439 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6440
6441 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6442 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6443 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6444 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6445 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6446 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6447 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6448
6449 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6450 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6451 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6452 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6453 [Bodo Moeller]
6454
6455 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6456 [Bodo Moeller]
6457
6458 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6459 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6460 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6461 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6462 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6463 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6464
6465 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6466 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6467 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6468 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6469 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6470 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6471
6472 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6473 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6474 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6475 BN_generate_prime().)
6476
6477 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6478 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6479 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6480 better.
6481 [Bodo Moeller]
6482
6483 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6484 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6485 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6486
6487 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6488 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6489 when using non-blocking I/O.
6490 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6491
6492 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6493 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6494
6495 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6496 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6497 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6498
6499 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6500 configuration for the versions before that.
6501 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6502
6503 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6504 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6505 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6506 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6507 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6508
6509 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6510 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6511 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6512 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6513
6514 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6515 value is 0.
6516 [Richard Levitte]
6517
6518 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6519 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6520 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6521
6522 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6523 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6524
6525 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6526 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6527 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6528 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6529 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6530 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6531 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6532 session cache.
6533
6534 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6535 using a local variable.
6536 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6537
6538 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6539 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6540 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6541
6542 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6543 [Richard Levitte]
6544
6545 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6546 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6547
6548 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6549 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6550 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6551
6552 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6553
6554 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6555 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6556 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6557 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6558 [Bodo Moeller]
6559
6560 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6561 present.
6562 [Steve Henson]
6563
6564 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6565 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6566 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6567 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6568 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6569
6570 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6571 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6572 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6573
6574 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6575 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6576 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6577
6578 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6579 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6580 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6581 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6582
6583 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6584 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6585 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6586 modules).
6587 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6588
6589 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6590 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6591 from 0.9.7.
6592 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6593
6594 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6595 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6596 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6597 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6598
6599 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6600 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6601 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6602 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
6603
6604 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
6605 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6606
6607 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6608 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6609 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6610 [Bodo Moeller]
6611
6612 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6613 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6614 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6615 become invalid.
6616 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6617
6618 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6619 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6620 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6621 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6622 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6623 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6624 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6625 [Bodo Moeller]
6626
6627 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6628 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6629 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6630 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6631
6632 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6633 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6634 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6635 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6636 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6637 the client will at least see that alert.
6638 [Bodo Moeller]
6639
6640 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6641 correctly.
6642 [Bodo Moeller]
6643
6644 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6645 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6646 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6647
6648 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6649 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
6650 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6651 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6652 HelloRequest.
6653
6654 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6655 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6656 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6657
6658 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6659 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6660 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6661 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6662 may leak via logfiles.)
6663
6664 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6665 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6666 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6667 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6668 the legal range.
6669 [Bodo Moeller]
6670
6671 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6672 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6673 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6674
6675 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6676 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6677 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6678 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6679 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6680 [Bodo Moeller]
6681
6682 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6683 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6684
6685 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6686 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6687 followed by modular reduction.
6688 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6689
6690 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6691 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6692 [Bodo Moeller]
6693
6694 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6695 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6696 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6697 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6698 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6699
6700 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6701 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6702
6703 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6704 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6705 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6706
6707 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6708 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6709 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6710 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6711 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6712 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6713 automatically.
6714 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6715
6716 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6717 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6718 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6719 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6720 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6721
6722 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6723 [Andy Polyakov]
6724
6725 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6726 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6727 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6728 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6729 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6730 to allow the necessary settings.
6731 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6732
6733 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6734 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6735 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6736 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6737 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6738
6739 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6740 dh->length and always used
6741
6742 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6743
6744 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6745 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6746 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6747 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6748 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6749 dh->length.
6750
6751 So switch back to
6752
6753 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6754
6755 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6756 otherwise.
6757 [Bodo Moeller]
6758
6759 *) In
6760
6761 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6762 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6763 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6764 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6765
6766 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6767 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6768 always reject numbers >= n.
6769 [Bodo Moeller]
6770
6771 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6772 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6773 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6774 variable) is not atomic.
6775 [Bodo Moeller]
6776
6777 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6778 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6779 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6780 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6781
6782 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6783 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6784
6785 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6786 little-endian MIPS.
6787 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6788
6789 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6790 [Richard Levitte]
6791
6792 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6793
6794 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6795 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6796 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6797 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6798 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6799 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6800 to traverse all of 'state'.
6801
6802 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6803 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6804 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6805
6806 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6807 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6808
6809 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6810 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6811 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6812 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6813 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6814 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6815 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6816 further strengthens the PRNG.
6817 [Bodo Moeller]
6818
6819 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6820 [Andy Polyakov]
6821
6822 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6823 an error message in this case.
6824 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6825
6826 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6827 [Steve Henson]
6828
6829 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6830 positive and less than q.
6831 [Bodo Moeller]
6832
6833 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6834 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6835 that itself.
6836 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6837
6838 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6839 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6840 [Bodo Moeller]
6841
6842 *) Fix OAEP check.
6843 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6844
6845 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6846 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6847 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6848 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6849 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6850 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6851 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6852 paper.)
6853
6854 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6855 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6856 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6857 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6858
6859 Both problems are now fixed.
6860 [Bodo Moeller]
6861
6862 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6863 (previously it was 1024).
6864 [Bodo Moeller]
6865
6866 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6867 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6868 [Steve Henson]
6869
6870 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6871 [Steve Henson]
6872
6873 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6874 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6875 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6876 [Steve Henson]
6877
6878 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6879 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6880 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6881 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6882 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6883 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6884 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6885 environment variables.
6886
6887 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6888 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6889 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6890 [Bodo Moeller]
6891
6892 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6893 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6894 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6895 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6896 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6897 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6898 [Bodo Moeller]
6899
6900 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6901 versions of 'test'.
6902 [Bodo Moeller]
6903
6904 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6905
6906 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6907 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6908
6909 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6910 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6911 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6912 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6913 CygWin.
6914 [Richard Levitte]
6915
6916 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6917 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6918 amount of data available.
6919 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6920 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6921
6922 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6923 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6924 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6925 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6926 [Bodo Moeller]
6927
6928 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6929 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6930 and UnixWare.
6931 [Richard Levitte]
6932
6933 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6934 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6935 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6936 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6937 [Ulf Moeller]
6938
6939 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6940 [Andy Polyakov]
6941
6942 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6943 [Richard Levitte]
6944
6945 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6946 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6947 [Steve Henson]
6948 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6949
6950 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6951 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6952 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6953 (but broken) behaviour.
6954 [Steve Henson]
6955
6956 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6957 it when found.
6958 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6959
6960 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6961 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6962 [Bodo Moeller]
6963
6964 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6965 did not exist.
6966 [Bodo Moeller]
6967
6968 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6969 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6970
6971 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6972 [Richard Levitte]
6973
6974 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6975 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6976 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6977
6978 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6979 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6980 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6981 [Steve Henson]
6982
6983 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6984 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6985 [Ulf Moeller]
6986
6987 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6988 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6989
6990 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6991
6992 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6993
6994 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6995 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6996 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6997 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6998 [Bodo Moeller]
6999
7000 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
7001 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7002
7003 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
7004 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
7005 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7006
7007 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
7008 was empty.
7009 [Steve Henson]
7010 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7011
7012 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
7013 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
7014 but the code is actually correct.
7015 [Steve Henson]
7016
7017 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
7018 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
7019 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
7020 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
7021 and leaves the highest bit random.
7022 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7023
7024 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
7025 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
7026 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
7027 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
7028 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
7029 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
7030 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
7031 [Bodo Moeller]
7032
7033 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
7034 [Ulf Moeller]
7035
7036 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
7037 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
7038 [Steve Henson]
7039
7040 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
7041 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
7042 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
7043 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
7044 headers.
7045 [Richard Levitte]
7046
7047 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
7048 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
7049 and break the signature.
7050 [Steve Henson]
7051 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7052
7053 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
7054 DH ciphersuites.
7055 [Steve Henson]
7056
7057 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
7058 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
7059 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
7060 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
7061 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
7062 [Bodo Moeller]
7063
7064 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
7065 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7066
7067 *) ./config script fixes.
7068 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
7069
7070 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
7071 [Bodo Moeller]
7072
7073 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
7074 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
7075 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
7076 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
7077 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
7078
7079 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
7080 call failed, free the DSA structure.
7081 [Bodo Moeller]
7082
7083 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
7084 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
7085 [Steve Henson]
7086
7087 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
7088 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
7089 when writing a 32767 byte record.
7090 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
7091
7092 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
7093 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
7094
7095 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
7096 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
7097 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
7098 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
7099 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
7100
7101 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
7102 [Bodo Moeller]
7103
7104 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
7105 [Ulf Möller]
7106
7107 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
7108 [Ulf Möller]
7109
7110 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
7111 [Bodo Moeller]
7112
7113 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
7114 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
7115 [Bodo Moeller]
7116
7117 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
7118 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
7119 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
7120 result of the server certificate verification.)
7121 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7122
7123 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
7124 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
7125 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
7126 [Bodo Moeller]
7127
7128 *) Fix SSL_peek:
7129 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
7130 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
7131 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
7132 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
7133 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
7134 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
7135 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
7136 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
7137 [Bodo Moeller]
7138
7139 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
7140 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
7141 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
7142 happening the other way round.
7143 [Geoff Thorpe]
7144
7145 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
7146 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
7147 [Bodo Moeller]
7148
7149 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
7150 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
7151 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
7152 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
7153 [Richard Levitte]
7154
7155 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
7156 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
7157
7158 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
7159
7160 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
7161 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
7162 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
7163 that.
7164
7165 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
7166
7167 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7168
7169 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7170 static ones.
7171 [Richard Levitte]
7172
7173 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7174
7175 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7176 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7177 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7178 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7179 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7180
7181 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7182 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
7183 matter what.
7184 [Richard Levitte]
7185
7186 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7187 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7188
7189 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7190
7191 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7192 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7193 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7194 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7195 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7196 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7197 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7198 by the Finished messages.
7199 [Bodo Moeller]
7200
7201 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7202 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7203
7204 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7205 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7206 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7207 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7208 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7209 appropriately.
7210 [Steve Henson]
7211
7212 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7213 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7214 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7215 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7216 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7217 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7218 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7219 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7220 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7221 together.
7222 [Steve Henson]
7223
7224 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7225 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7226 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7227 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7228
7229 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7230 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7231 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7232 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7233 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7234 the answer.
7235
7236 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7237 been tested well enough.
7238 [Richard Levitte]
7239
7240 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7241 it can return incorrect results.
7242 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7243 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7244 [Bodo Moeller]
7245
7246 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7247 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7248 include zero length content when signing messages.
7249 [Steve Henson]
7250
7251 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7252 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7253 [Bodo Möller]
7254
7255 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7256 [Richard Levitte]
7257
7258 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7259 wrong sign.
7260 [Ulf Möller]
7261
7262 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7263 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7264 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7265 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7266 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
7267 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
7268 [Richard Levitte]
7269
7270 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
7271 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7272
7273 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
7274 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
7275
7276 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
7277 random number < q in the DSA library.
7278 [Ulf Möller]
7279
7280 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
7281 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
7282 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
7283 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
7284 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
7285 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
7286 just makes things more complicated.)
7287 [Bodo Moeller]
7288
7289 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
7290 from EGD.
7291 [Ben Laurie]
7292
7293 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
7294 work better on such systems.
7295 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7296
7297 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
7298 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
7299 keyid to the certificates aux info.
7300 [Steve Henson]
7301
7302 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7303 if there was more than one signature.
7304 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7305
7306 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7307 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
7308 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7309 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7310 [Richard Levitte]
7311
7312 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7313 rather than always using the current time.
7314 [Steve Henson]
7315
7316 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7317 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7318 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7319 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7320 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7321 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7322
7323 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7324 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7325
7326 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7327
7328 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7329 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7330 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7331 the same hash value.
7332
7333 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7334 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7335 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7336 with X509_STORE internally.
7337
7338 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7339 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7340
7341 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7342 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7343 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7344 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7345 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7346 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7347 entirely (maybe later...).
7348
7349 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7350
7351 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7352 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7353 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7354 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7355 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7356 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7357 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7358 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7359
7360 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7361 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7362
7363 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7364 to customise the verify behaviour.
7365 [Steve Henson]
7366
7367 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7368 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7369 [Steve Henson]
7370
7371 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7372 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7373 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7374 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7375 request is improperly encoded.
7376 [Steve Henson]
7377
7378 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7379 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7380 BIO_write(b, ...).
7381
7382 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7383 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7384
7385 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7386 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7387 words set to zero.)
7388 [Bodo Moeller]
7389
7390 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7391 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7392 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7393 [Bodo Moeller]
7394
7395 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7396 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7397 BIO/fp routines also added.
7398 [Steve Henson]
7399
7400 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7401 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7402
7403 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7404 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7405 demos/state_machine.
7406 [Ben Laurie]
7407
7408 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7409 generation and verification.
7410 [Steve Henson]
7411
7412 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7413 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7414 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7415 encode and decode it manually.
7416 [Steve Henson]
7417
7418 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7419 compile under VC++.
7420 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7421
7422 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7423 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7424 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7425 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7426
7427 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7428 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7429 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7430 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7431 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7432 [Steve Henson]
7433
7434 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7435 [Richard Levitte]
7436
7437 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7438 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7439 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7440
7441 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7442 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7443 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7444 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7445 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7446 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7447 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7448 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7449
7450 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7451 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7452
7453 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7454
7455 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7456 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7457 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7458
7459 [Richard Levitte]
7460
7461 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7462 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7463 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7464 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7465 [Richard Levitte]
7466
7467 *) MD4 implemented.
7468 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7469
7470 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7471 [Richard Levitte]
7472
7473 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7474 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7475 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7476 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7477 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7478 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7479 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7480 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7481 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7482 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7483 short or long names are found.
7484 [Steve Henson]
7485
7486 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7487 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7488
7489 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7490 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7491 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7492 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7493
7494 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7495 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7496 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7497 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7498 [Bodo Moeller]
7499
7500 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7501 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7502 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7503 [Richard Levitte]
7504
7505 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7506 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7507 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7508 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7509 to allow the various flags to be set.
7510 [Steve Henson]
7511
7512 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7513 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7514 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7515 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7516 dates to be checked.
7517 [Steve Henson]
7518
7519 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7520 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7521 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7522 [Steve Henson]
7523
7524 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7525 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7526 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7527 [Steve Henson]
7528
7529 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7530 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7531 [Bodo Moeller]
7532
7533 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7534 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7535 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7536 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7537 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7538 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7539 [Richard Levitte]
7540
7541 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7542 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7543 Random Numbers.
7544 [Ulf Möller]
7545
7546 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7547 DSA key.
7548 [Steve Henson]
7549
7550 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7551 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7552 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7553 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7554 form signing output easier to verify.
7555 [Steve Henson]
7556
7557 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7558 [Steve Henson]
7559
7560 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7561 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7562 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7563 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7564 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7565 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7566 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7567 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7568 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7569 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7570 [Steve Henson]
7571
7572 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7573
7574 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7575 the syntax given in objects.README.
7576 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7577 obj_mac.h.
7578 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7579 obj_mac.h.
7580
7581 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7582 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7583 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7584 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7585 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7586 consistent name changes.
7587 [Richard Levitte]
7588
7589 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7590 [Bodo Moeller]
7591
7592 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7593 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7594 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7595 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7596 [Richard Levitte]
7597
7598 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7599 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7600 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7601 of safestack.h .
7602 [Steve Henson]
7603
7604 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7605 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7606 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7607 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7608 [Steve Henson]
7609
7610 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7611 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7612 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7613 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7614 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7615 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7616 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7617 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7618 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7619 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7620 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7621 [Steve Henson]
7622
7623 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7624 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7625 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7626 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
7627 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7628 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7629 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7630 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7631 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7632 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7633 [Steve Henson]
7634
7635 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7636 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7637 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7638 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7639
7640 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7641 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7642 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7643 omit any duplicate addresses.
7644 [Steve Henson]
7645
7646 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7647 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7648 [Bodo Moeller]
7649
7650 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7651 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7652 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7653 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7654 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7655 [Bodo Moeller]
7656
7657 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7658 software:
7659 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7660 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7661 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7662 Free => OPENSSL_free
7663 [Richard Levitte]
7664
7665 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7666 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7667 [Bodo Moeller]
7668
7669 *) CygWin32 support.
7670 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7671
7672 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7673 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7674 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7675 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7676 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7677 approach.
7678 [Geoff Thorpe]
7679
7680 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7681 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7682 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7683 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7684 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7685 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7686 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7687 [Geoff Thorpe]
7688
7689 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7690 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7691 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7692 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7693 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7694 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7695 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7696 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7697 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7698 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7699 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7700 [Bodo Moeller]
7701
7702 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7703 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7704 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7705 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7706 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7707
7708 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7709 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7710 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7711 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7712 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7713
7714 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7715 ciphers.
7716
7717 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7718 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7719 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7720 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7721
7722 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7723
7724 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7725 of macros.
7726
7727 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7728 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7729 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7730 flags.
7731
7732 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7733 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7734 any installed hardware versions can.
7735 [Steve Henson]
7736
7737 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7738 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7739 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7740 number.
7741 [Bodo Moeller]
7742
7743 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7744 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7745 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7746 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7747 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7748
7749 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7750 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7751 [Steve Henson]
7752
7753 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7754 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7755 [Richard Levitte]
7756
7757 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7758 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7759 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7760 features.
7761 [Steve Henson]
7762
7763 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7764 [Ulf Möller]
7765
7766 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7767 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7768 but no ssl client purpose.
7769 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7770
7771 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7772 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7773 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7774 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7775 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7776 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7777 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7778 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7779 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7780 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7781 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7782 [Steve Henson]
7783
7784 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7785 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7786 be obtained from the error queue.
7787 [Bodo Moeller]
7788
7789 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7790 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7791 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7792 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7793 [Bodo Moeller]
7794
7795 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7796 [Ulf Möller]
7797
7798 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7799 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7800 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7801 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7802 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7803 [Geoff Thorpe]
7804
7805 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7806 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7807 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7808 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7809 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7810 [Geoff Thorpe]
7811
7812 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7813 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7814 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7815 may not be NULL.
7816 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7817
7818 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7819 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7820 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7821 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7822 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7823 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7824 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7825 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7826 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7827 or "the configuration storage API"...
7828
7829 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7830
7831 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7832 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7833
7834 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7835
7836 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7837
7838 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7839 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7840 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7841 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7842 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7843 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7844 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7845
7846 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7847 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7848 [Richard Levitte]
7849
7850 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7851 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7852 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7853 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7854 [Bodo Moeller]
7855
7856 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7857 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7858 them in a portable way.
7859 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7860
7861 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7862
7863 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7864
7865 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7866 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7867
7868 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7869 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7870 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7871 <attili@amaxo.com>]
7872
7873 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7874 was larger than the MD block size.
7875 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7876
7877 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7878 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7879 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7880 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7881 components.
7882 [Steve Henson]
7883
7884 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7885 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7886 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7887
7888 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7889 discouraged.
7890 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7891
7892 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7893 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7894 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7895 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7896 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7897 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7898
7899 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7900 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7901
7902 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7903 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7904 [Bodo Moeller]
7905
7906 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7907 [Bodo Moeller]
7908
7909 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7910 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7911 its own key.
7912 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7913 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7914 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7915 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7916 [Bodo Moeller]
7917
7918 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7919 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7920 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7921 does not suppress any output.
7922 [Richard Levitte]
7923
7924 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7925 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7926 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7927 with all the associated security issues.
7928
7929 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7930 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7931 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7932 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7933 use the value in the default purpose.
7934 [Steve Henson]
7935
7936 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7937 and fix a memory leak.
7938 [Steve Henson]
7939
7940 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7941 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7942 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7943 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7944 [Bodo Moeller]
7945
7946 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7947 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7948 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7949 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7950 [Bodo Moeller]
7951
7952 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7953 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7954 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7955 [Bodo Moeller]
7956
7957 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7958 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7959 [Bodo Moeller]
7960
7961 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7962 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7963 which was free.
7964 [Steve Henson]
7965
7966 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7967 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7968 [Bodo Moeller]
7969
7970 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7971 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7972 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7973 [Bodo Moeller]
7974
7975 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7976 number generation fails.
7977 [Bodo Moeller]
7978
7979 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7980 [Bodo Moeller]
7981
7982 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7983 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7984
7985 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7986 [Ulf Möller]
7987
7988 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7989 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7990
7991 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7992 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7993
7994 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7995
7996 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7997 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7998 [Steve Henson]
7999
8000 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
8001 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
8002
8003 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
8004 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
8005 [Ulf Möller]
8006
8007 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
8008 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
8009 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
8010 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
8011 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
8012 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
8013
8014 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
8015 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
8016 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
8017 for example.
8018 [Steve Henson]
8019
8020 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
8021 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
8022 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
8023 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
8024 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
8025 counter, some don't.)
8026 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
8027 counters or duplicate objects.
8028 [Steve Henson]
8029
8030 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
8031 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
8032 [Steve Henson]
8033
8034 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
8035 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
8036 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
8037
8038 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
8039 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
8040 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
8041 or -rand.
8042 [Ulf Möller]
8043
8044 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
8045 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
8046 [Steve Henson]
8047
8048 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
8049 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
8050 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
8051 cipher list.
8052 [Steve Henson]
8053
8054 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
8055 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
8056 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
8057 [Steve Henson]
8058
8059 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
8060 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
8061 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
8062 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
8063 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
8064 should work without changes.
8065 [Richard Levitte]
8066
8067 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
8068 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
8069 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
8070 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
8071 must be defined. E.g.,
8072 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
8073 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
8074 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
8075 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
8076
8077 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
8078 record layer.
8079 [Bodo Moeller]
8080
8081 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
8082 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
8083 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
8084 [Steve Henson]
8085
8086 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
8087 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
8088 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
8089 request header lines. Some software needs this.
8090 [Steve Henson]
8091
8092 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
8093 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
8094 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
8095 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
8096 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
8097 is prompted for as usual.
8098 [Steve Henson]
8099
8100 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
8101 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
8102 autodetect the card and use it if present.
8103 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
8104
8105 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
8106 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
8107 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
8108 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
8109 [Steve Henson]
8110
8111 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
8112 [Andy Polyakov]
8113
8114 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
8115 of seed file.
8116 [Steve Henson]
8117
8118 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
8119 [Bodo Moeller]
8120
8121 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
8122 [Steve Henson]
8123
8124 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
8125 bits.
8126 [Ulf Möller]
8127
8128 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
8129 [Ulf Möller]
8130
8131 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
8132 [Andy Polyakov]
8133
8134 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
8135 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
8136 [Ulf Möller]
8137
8138 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
8139 options to produce them.
8140 [Steve Henson]
8141
8142 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
8143 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
8144 [Ulf Möller]
8145
8146 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
8147 for p == 0.
8148 [Ulf Möller]
8149
8150 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
8151 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
8152 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
8153 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
8154 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
8155 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
8156 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
8157 [Steve Henson]
8158
8159 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
8160 [Steve Henson]
8161
8162 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
8163 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
8164 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
8165 [Bodo Moeller]
8166
8167 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
8168 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8169
8170 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8171 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8172 [Ulf Möller]
8173
8174 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8175 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8176 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8177 has already seen).
8178 [Bodo Moeller]
8179
8180 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8181 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8182
8183 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8184 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8185 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8186 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8187 generation becomes much faster.
8188
8189 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8190 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8191 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8192 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8193 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8194 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8195 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8196 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8197 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8198 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8199 [Bodo Moeller]
8200
8201 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8202 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8203 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8204 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8205 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8206 trial division stage.
8207 [Bodo Moeller]
8208
8209 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8210 as ASN1_TIME.
8211 [Steve Henson]
8212
8213 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8214 [Steve Henson]
8215
8216 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8217 [Ulf Möller]
8218
8219 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8220 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8221 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8222 the comments.
8223 [Ulf Möller]
8224
8225 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8226 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8227 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8228 [Bodo Moeller]
8229
8230 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8231 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8232 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8233 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8234
8235 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8236 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8237 [Steve Henson]
8238
8239 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8240 [Ulf Möller]
8241
8242 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8243 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8244 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8245 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8246 [Ulf Möller]
8247
8248 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8249 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8250 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8251 [Ulf Möller]
8252
8253 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8254 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8255 (instead of parameters) in future.
8256 [Steve Henson]
8257
8258 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8259 when a new cipher list is set.
8260 [Steve Henson]
8261
8262 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8263 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8264 wrong.
8265
8266 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
8267 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
8268 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
8269
8270 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
8271 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
8272 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
8273 an error is flagged.
8274
8275 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
8276 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
8277 the readability was also increased :-)
8278 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8279
8280 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
8281 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
8282 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
8283 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
8284 as the root CA.
8285 [Steve Henson]
8286
8287 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
8288 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
8289 [Steve Henson]
8290
8291 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
8292 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
8293 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
8294 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
8295 instead.
8296
8297 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
8298 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
8299 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
8300 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
8301 because they handle more complex structures.)
8302 [Steve Henson]
8303
8304 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8305 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8306 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8307 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8308
8309 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8310 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8311 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8312 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8313 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8314 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8315 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8316 [Ulf Möller]
8317
8318 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8319 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8320 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8321 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8322 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8323 [Bodo Moeller]
8324
8325 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8326 [Bodo Moeller]
8327
8328 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8329 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8330 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8331 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8332 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8333 to use this.
8334
8335 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8336 code.
8337 [Steve Henson]
8338
8339 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8340 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8341 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8342 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8343 [Steve Henson]
8344
8345 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8346 [Ulf Möller]
8347
8348 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8349 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8350 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8351 international characters are used.
8352
8353 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8354 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8355 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8356 in ASN1 order.
8357 [Steve Henson]
8358
8359 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8360 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8361 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8362 request.
8363
8364 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8365 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8366 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8367 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8368 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8369 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8370
8371 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8372 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8373 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8374 be handled by the string table functions.
8375
8376 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8377 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8378 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8379 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8380 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8381 types at all.
8382 [Steve Henson]
8383
8384 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8385 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8386 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8387 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8388 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8389
8390 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8391 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8392 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8393 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8394 [Bodo Moeller]
8395
8396 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8397 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8398 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8399 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8400 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8401 SHA1.
8402 [Andy Polyakov]
8403
8404 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8405 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8406 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8407 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8408 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8409 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8410 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8411 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8412
8413 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8414 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8415 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8416 [Steve Henson]
8417
8418 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8419 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8420 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8421 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8422 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8423 support to pkcs8 application.
8424 [Steve Henson]
8425
8426 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8427 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8428 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8429 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8430 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8431 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8432 [Bodo Moeller]
8433
8434 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8435 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8436 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8437 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8438 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8439 consistency.
8440 [Bodo Moeller]
8441
8442 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8443 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8444 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8445 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8446 example.
8447 [Steve Henson]
8448
8449 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8450 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8451 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8452 and any application specific purposes.
8453
8454 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8455 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8456 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8457 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8458 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8459 if the certificate is self signed.
8460 [Steve Henson]
8461
8462 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8463 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8464 [Steve Henson]
8465
8466 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8467 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8468 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8469 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8470 [Steve Henson]
8471
8472 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8473 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8474 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8475 Update documentation.
8476 [Steve Henson]
8477
8478 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8479 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8480 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8481 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8482 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8483 [Steve Henson]
8484
8485 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8486 for details.
8487 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8488
8489 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8490 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8491 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8492 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8493 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8494 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8495 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8496 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8497 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8498 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8499
8500 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8501
8502 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8503 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8504 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8505 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8506 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8507
8508 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8509 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8510 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8511 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8512 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8513 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8514 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8515 request additional information:
8516 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8517 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8518
8519 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8520 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8521 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8522 options.
8523
8524 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8525 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8526
8527 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
8528 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8529 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
8530
8531 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8532 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8533
8534 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8535 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8536 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8537 algorithm.
8538 [Steve Henson]
8539
8540 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8541 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8542 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8543
8544 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8545 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8546 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8547 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8548 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8549 included in OpenSSL.
8550 [Steve Henson]
8551
8552 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8553 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8554 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8555 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8556 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8557 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8558 [Bodo Moeller]
8559
8560 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8561 PKCS12 structure.
8562 [Steve Henson]
8563
8564 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8565 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8566 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8567 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8568 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8569 structure.
8570 [Steve Henson]
8571
8572 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8573 need initialising.
8574 [Steve Henson]
8575
8576 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8577 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8578 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8579 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8580 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8581 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8582 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8583 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8584 be maintained manually.
8585
8586 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8587 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8588 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8589 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8590 work because people forget to call this function]
8591 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8592 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8593 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8594 [Steve Henson]
8595
8596 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8597 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8598 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8599 should be discouraged from doing it.
8600 [Ben Laurie]
8601
8602 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8603 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8604 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8605 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8606 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8607 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8608 [Steve Henson]
8609
8610 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8611 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8612 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8613
8614 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8615 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8616 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8617
8618 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8619 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8620 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8621 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8622 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8623 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8624
8625 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8626 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8627 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8628
8629 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8630 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8631 and vice versa.
8632
8633 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8634 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8635 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8636 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8637 [Steve Henson]
8638
8639 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8640 [Steve Henson]
8641
8642 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8643 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8644 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8645 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8646 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8647 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8648 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8649 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8650 keys so we should be OK.
8651
8652 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8653 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8654 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8655 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8656 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8657 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8658 stay in the name of compatibility.
8659
8660 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8661 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8662 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8663
8664 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8665 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8666 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8667 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8668 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8669 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8670 supplied key).
8671 [Steve Henson]
8672
8673 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8674 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8675 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8676 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8677 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8678 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8679 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8680 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8681 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8682 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8683 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8684 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8685 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8686 [Steve Henson]
8687
8688 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8689 [Steve Henson]
8690
8691 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8692 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8693 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8694 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8695 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8696 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8697 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8698 openssl verify ss.pem
8699 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8700 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8701 is OK.
8702 [Steve Henson]
8703
8704 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8705 (and add it to external session representation).
8706 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8707 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8708 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8709 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8710 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8711 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8712 security holes.
8713 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8714
8715 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8716 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8717 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8718 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8719
8720 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8721 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8722 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8723 [Steve Henson]
8724
8725 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8726 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8727 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8728 code.
8729 [Steve Henson]
8730
8731 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8732 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8733 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8734
8735 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8736 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8737 certificate auxiliary information.
8738 [Steve Henson]
8739
8740 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8741 the 'enc' command.
8742 [Steve Henson]
8743
8744 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8745 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8746 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8747 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8748 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8749 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8750 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8751 [Richard Levitte]
8752
8753 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8754 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8755 [Steve Henson]
8756
8757 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8758 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8759 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8760 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8761 [Steve Henson]
8762
8763 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8764 [Steve Henson]
8765
8766 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8767 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8768 [Steve Henson]
8769
8770 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8771 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8772 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8773 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8774 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8775 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8776 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8777 using the new 'x509' options.
8778
8779 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8780 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8781 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8782 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8783 for all purposes.
8784 [Steve Henson]
8785
8786 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8787 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8788 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8789 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8790 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8791 [Mark Cox]
8792
8793 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8794 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8795 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8796 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8797 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8798 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8799 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8800 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8801 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8802 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8803 [Steve Henson]
8804
8805 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8806 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8807 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8808 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8809 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8810 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8811 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8812 [Steve Henson]
8813
8814 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8815 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8816 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8817 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8818 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8819 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8820 openssl.cnf for more info.
8821 [Steve Henson]
8822
8823 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8824 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8825 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8826 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8827 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8828 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8829 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8830 md should be large enough anyway.
8831 [Bodo Moeller]
8832
8833 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8834 for handling the random seed file.
8835
8836 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8837 ca,
8838 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8839 s_client,
8840 s_server,
8841 x509 (when signing).
8842 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8843 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8844 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8845
8846 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8847 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8848 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8849 that support '-rand'.
8850 [Bodo Moeller]
8851
8852 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8853 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8854 [Bodo Moeller]
8855
8856 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8857 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8858 [Bill Perry]
8859
8860 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8861 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8862 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8863 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8864 is suitable.
8865 [Steve Henson]
8866
8867 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8868 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8869 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8870 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8871 [Steve Henson]
8872
8873 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8874 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8875 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8876 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8877 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8878 print out all the purposes.
8879 [Steve Henson]
8880
8881 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8882 functions.
8883 [Steve Henson]
8884
8885 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8886 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8887 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8888 single function call.
8889 [Steve Henson]
8890
8891 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8892 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8893 [Andy Polyakov]
8894
8895 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8896 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8897 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8898 [Steve Henson]
8899
8900 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8901 when producing the local key id.
8902 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8903
8904 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8905 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8906 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8907 "server.pem".
8908 [Steve Henson]
8909
8910 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8911 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8912 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8913 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8914 [Steve Henson]
8915
8916 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8917 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8918 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8919 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8920
8921 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8922 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8923 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8924 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8925
8926 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8927 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8928 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8929 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8930 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8931 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8932 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8933 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8934 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8935 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8936 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8937 trivial: move one line.
8938 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8939
8940 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8941 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8942 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8943 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8944 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8945 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8946 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8947 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8948 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8949 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8950 with an event loop for example.
8951 [Steve Henson]
8952
8953 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8954 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8955 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8956 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8957 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8958 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8959 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8960 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8961 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8962 [Steve Henson]
8963
8964 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8965 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8966 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8967 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8968 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8969 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8970 [Steve Henson]
8971
8972 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8973 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8974 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8975 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8976
8977 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8978 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8979 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8980 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8981 key generation.
8982 [Steve Henson]
8983
8984 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8985 (still largely untested)
8986 [Bodo Moeller]
8987
8988 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8989 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8990 [Steve Henson]
8991
8992 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8993 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8994 [Steve Henson]
8995
8996 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8997 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8998 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8999 [Bodo Moeller]
9000
9001 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
9002 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
9003 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
9004 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
9005 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
9006 [Steve Henson]
9007
9008 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
9009 [Andy Polyakov]
9010
9011 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
9012 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
9013 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
9014 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
9015 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
9016 in ca.
9017 [Steve Henson]
9018
9019 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
9020 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
9021 1.OU="Unit name 1"
9022 2.OU="Unit name 2"
9023 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
9024 [Steve Henson]
9025
9026 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
9027 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
9028 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
9029 are otherwise ignored at present.
9030 [Steve Henson]
9031
9032 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
9033 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
9034 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
9035 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
9036 copied until the next read.
9037 [Steve Henson]
9038
9039 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
9040 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
9041 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
9042 [Steve Henson]
9043
9044 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
9045 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
9046 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
9047 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
9048 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
9049 associated functions.
9050 [Steve Henson]
9051
9052 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
9053 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
9054 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
9055 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
9056 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
9057 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
9058 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
9059 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
9060 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
9061 memory BIOs.
9062 [Steve Henson]
9063
9064 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
9065 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
9066 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
9067 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
9068 [Bodo Moeller]
9069
9070 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
9071 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
9072 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
9073 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
9074 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
9075 functionality.
9076 [Steve Henson]
9077
9078 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
9079 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
9080 under Win32.
9081 [Steve Henson]
9082
9083 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
9084 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
9085 extensions to be obtained and added.
9086 [Steve Henson]
9087
9088 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
9089 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
9090 [Bodo Moeller]
9091
9092 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
9093
9094 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9095 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9096
9097 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
9098 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
9099
9100 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
9101 program.
9102 [Steve Henson]
9103
9104 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
9105 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
9106 DH parameters contain its length).
9107
9108 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
9109 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
9110 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
9111 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
9112 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
9113 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
9114 utter importance to use
9115 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9116 or
9117 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9118 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
9119 attacks may become possible!
9120 [Bodo Moeller]
9121
9122 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
9123 [Bodo Moeller]
9124
9125 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
9126 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
9127 [Steve Henson]
9128
9129 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
9130 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
9131 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
9132 or long name.
9133 [Steve Henson]
9134
9135 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
9136 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
9137 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
9138 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
9139 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
9140 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
9141 private key operations.
9142 [Steve Henson]
9143
9144 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
9145 [Andy Polyakov]
9146
9147 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
9148 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
9149 to
9150 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
9151 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
9152 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
9153 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
9154 the password callback is called.
9155 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
9156
9157 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
9158
9159 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
9160 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
9161 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
9162 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
9163 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
9164 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
9165 this will work.
9166
9167 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
9168 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9169 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9170 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9171 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9172 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9173 [Bodo Moeller]
9174
9175 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9176 [Andy Polyakov]
9177
9178 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9179 delete an unused file.
9180 [Ulf Möller]
9181
9182 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9183 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9184 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9185 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9186 [Steve Henson]
9187
9188 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9189 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9190 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9191 of an error.
9192 [Bodo Moeller]
9193
9194 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9195 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9196 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9197
9198 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9199 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9200 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9201 comparison" warnings.
9202 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9203 [Steve Henson]
9204
9205 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9206 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9207 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9208 [Steve Henson]
9209
9210 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9211 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9212
9213 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9214 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9215
9216 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9217 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9218 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9219
9220 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9221 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9222 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9223 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9224 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9225 this bug.
9226 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9227
9228 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9229 The interface is as follows:
9230 Applications can use
9231 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9232 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9233 "off" is now the default.
9234 The library internally uses
9235 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9236 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9237 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9238
9239 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9240 even the default) are now avoided.
9241
9242 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9243 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9244 than just having a counter.
9245
9246 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9247
9248 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9249 extensions.
9250 [Bodo Moeller]
9251
9252 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9253 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9254 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9255 Initial "mode" flags are:
9256
9257 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9258 a single record has been written.
9259 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9260 retries use the same buffer location.
9261 (But all of the contents must be
9262 copied!)
9263 [Bodo Moeller]
9264
9265 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9266 worked.
9267
9268 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
9269 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
9270
9271 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
9272 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
9273 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
9274 [Steve Henson]
9275
9276 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
9277 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
9278 test programs.
9279 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
9280
9281 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
9282 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
9283 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
9284 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
9285 point to the end.
9286 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
9287 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
9288
9289 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
9290 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
9291 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
9292 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
9293 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
9294 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
9295 [Steve Henson]
9296
9297 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
9298 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
9299 necessary function names.
9300 [Steve Henson]
9301
9302 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9303 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9304 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9305 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9306 [Bodo Moeller]
9307
9308 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9309 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9310 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9311 [Steve Henson]
9312
9313 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9314 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9315 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9316 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9317 such programs?)
9318 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9319 need locks.
9320 [Bodo Moeller]
9321
9322 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9323 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9324 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9325 [Bodo Moeller]
9326
9327 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9328 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9329 appropriate.
9330 [Bodo Moeller]
9331
9332 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9333 for the encoded length.
9334 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9335
9336 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9337 [Steve Henson]
9338
9339 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9340 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9341 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9342 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9343 [Steve Henson]
9344
9345 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9346 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9347 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9348
9349 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9350 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9351 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9352 unusual formatting.
9353 [Steve Henson]
9354
9355 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9356 to use the new extension code.
9357 [Steve Henson]
9358
9359 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9360 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9361 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9362 constant.
9363 [Steve Henson]
9364
9365 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9366 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9367 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9368 [Bodo Moeller]
9369
9370 #if 0
9371 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9372 [Ben Laurie]
9373 #else
9374 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9375 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9376 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9377 #endif
9378
9379 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9380 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9381 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9382 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9383 [Ben Laurie]
9384
9385 *) DES library cleanups.
9386 [Ulf Möller]
9387
9388 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9389 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9390 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9391 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9392 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9393 of v2.0.
9394 [Steve Henson]
9395
9396 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9397 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9398 [Bodo Moeller]
9399
9400 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9401 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9402 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9403 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9404 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9405 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9406 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9407 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9408 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9409 [Steve Henson]
9410
9411 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9412 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9413 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9414 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9415 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9416 value doesn't matter.
9417 [Steve Henson]
9418
9419 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9420 support mutable.
9421 [Ben Laurie]
9422
9423 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9424 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9425 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9426 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9427
9428 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9429 [Ulf Möller]
9430
9431 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9432 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9433 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9434
9435 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9436 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9437
9438 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9439 [Ben Laurie]
9440
9441 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9442 [Ben Laurie]
9443
9444 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9445 [Ben Laurie]
9446
9447 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9448 [Bodo Moeller]
9449
9450
9451 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9452
9453 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9454
9455 *) Updated some demos.
9456 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9457
9458 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9459 [Wu Zhigang]
9460
9461 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9462 [Steve Henson]
9463
9464 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9465 [Steve Henson]
9466
9467 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9468 instead of using a fixed path.
9469 [Bodo Moeller]
9470
9471 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9472 [Andy Polyakov]
9473
9474 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9475 [Richard Levitte]
9476
9477
9478 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9479
9480 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9481 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9482 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9483
9484 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9485 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9486 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9487 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9488 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9489 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9490 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9491 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9492 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9493 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9494 [Steve Henson]
9495
9496 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9497 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9498 [Steve Henson]
9499
9500 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9501 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9502 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9503 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9504 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9505
9506 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9507 [Bodo Moeller]
9508
9509 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9510 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9511 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9512 [Steve Henson]
9513
9514 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9515 [Ben Laurie]
9516
9517 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9518 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9519 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9520 key elements as negative integers.
9521 [Steve Henson]
9522
9523 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9524 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9525
9526 *) VMS support.
9527 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9528
9529 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9530 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9531 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9532 [Steve Henson]
9533
9534 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9535 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9536 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9537 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9538 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9539 [Bodo Moeller]
9540
9541 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9542 [Ulf Möller]
9543
9544 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9545 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9546 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9547 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9548
9549 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9550 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9551 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9552
9553 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9554 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9555 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9556 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9557 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9558 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9559 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9560 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9561 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9562
9563 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9564 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9565 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9566 does not influence s as it used to.
9567
9568 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9569 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9570 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9571 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9572 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9573 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9574 [Bodo Moeller]
9575
9576 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9577 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9578 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9579 key type.
9580 [Steve Henson]
9581
9582 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9583 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9584 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9585 and 'x509').
9586 [Steve Henson]
9587
9588 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9589 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9590 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9591 extension option.
9592 [Steve Henson]
9593
9594 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9595 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9596 [Ben Laurie]
9597
9598 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9599 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9600
9601 *) Support Mingw32.
9602 [Ulf Möller]
9603
9604 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9605 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9606
9607 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9608 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9609
9610 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9611 [Ulf Möller]
9612
9613 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9614 [Anonymous]
9615
9616 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9617 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9618
9619 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9620 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9621 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9622 DER-encoded.)
9623 [Bodo Moeller]
9624
9625 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9626 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9627 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9628 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9629 now it really counts the depth.
9630 [Bodo Moeller]
9631
9632 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9633 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9634 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9635 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9636 didn't match the private key).
9637
9638 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9639 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9640 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9641 [Bodo Moeller]
9642
9643 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9644 [Ulf Möller]
9645
9646 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9647 David Harris.
9648 [Bodo Moeller]
9649
9650 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9651 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9652 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9653 [Bodo Moeller]
9654
9655 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9656 [Bodo Moeller]
9657
9658 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9659 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9660 such as /usr/local/bin.
9661 [Bodo Moeller]
9662
9663 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9664 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9665
9666 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9667 [Ulf Möller]
9668
9669 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9670 extension adding in x509 utility.
9671 [Steve Henson]
9672
9673 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9674 [Ulf Möller]
9675
9676 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9677 prototypes.
9678 [Steve Henson]
9679
9680 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9681 [Ulf Möller]
9682
9683 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9684 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9685 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9686 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9687 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9688 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9689 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9690 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9691 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9692 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9693 [Steve Henson]
9694
9695 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9696 [Bodo Moeller]
9697
9698 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9699 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9700 [Bodo Moeller]
9701
9702 *) Fix some race conditions.
9703 [Bodo Moeller]
9704
9705 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9706 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9707 [Steve Henson]
9708
9709 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9710 [Ulf Möller]
9711
9712 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9713 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9714 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9715 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9716
9717 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9718 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9719
9720 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9721 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9722 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9723
9724 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9725 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9726
9727 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9728 [Ulf Möller]
9729
9730 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9731 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9732
9733 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9734 [Ulf Möller]
9735
9736 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9737 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9738
9739 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9740 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9741 [Steve Henson]
9742
9743 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9744 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9745 [Ben Laurie]
9746
9747 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9748 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9749 [Steve Henson]
9750
9751 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9752 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9753 [Steve Henson]
9754
9755 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9756 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9757 [Steve Henson]
9758
9759 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9760 support typesafe stack.
9761 [Steve Henson]
9762
9763 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9764 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9765
9766 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9767 old X509V3 handling code.
9768 [Steve Henson]
9769
9770 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9771 [Ulf Möller]
9772
9773 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9774 [Bodo Moeller]
9775
9776 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9777 [Ben Laurie]
9778
9779 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9780 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9781
9782 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9783 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9784 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9785 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9786 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9787 [Ben Laurie]
9788
9789 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9790 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9791 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9792 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9793 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9794
9795 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9796 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9797 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9798 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9799
9800 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9801 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9802 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9803 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9804
9805 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9806 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9807 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9808 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9809 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9810 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9811 [Bodo Moeller]
9812
9813 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9814 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9815 [Bodo Moeller]
9816
9817 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9818 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9819 [Ulf Möller]
9820
9821 *) Tweaks to Configure
9822 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9823
9824 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9825 yet...
9826 [Steve Henson]
9827
9828 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9829 [Ulf Möller]
9830
9831 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9832 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9833 [Ulf Möller]
9834
9835 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9836 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9837 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9838 [Bodo Moeller]
9839
9840 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9841 [Bodo Moeller]
9842
9843 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9844 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9845 [Steve Henson]
9846
9847 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9848 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9849 to library startup routines.
9850 [Steve Henson]
9851
9852 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9853 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9854 codes along the way.
9855 [Steve Henson]
9856
9857 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9858 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9859 objects to objects.h
9860 [Steve Henson]
9861
9862 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9863 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9864 [Steve Henson]
9865
9866 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9867 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9868
9869 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9870 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9871 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9872
9873 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9874 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9875 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9876
9877 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9878 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9879 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9880
9881
9882 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9883
9884 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9885 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9886 [Ben Laurie]
9887
9888 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9889 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9890 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9891 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9892 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9893
9894 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9895 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9896 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9897 document.
9898 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9899
9900 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9901 Malloc, Free.
9902 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9903
9904 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9905 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9906
9907 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9908 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9909 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9910 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9911
9912 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9913 [Ben Laurie]
9914
9915 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9916 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9917 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9918 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9919 [Steve Henson]
9920
9921 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9922 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9923 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9924 [Steve Henson]
9925
9926 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9927 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9928 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9929 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9930 installed as `perl').
9931 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9932
9933 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9934 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9935
9936 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9937 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9938 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9939 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9940 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9941 [Steve Henson]
9942
9943 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9944 [Ben Laurie]
9945
9946 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9947 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9948 is horrible: I feel ill....
9949 [Steve Henson]
9950
9951 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9952 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9953 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9954 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9955 [Steve Henson]
9956
9957 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9958 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9959
9960 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9961 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9962 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9963 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9964
9965 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9966 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9967 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9968 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9969 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9970 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9971 openssl_bio.xs.
9972 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9973
9974 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9975 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9976
9977 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9978 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9979
9980 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9981 [Ben Laurie]
9982
9983 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9984 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9985 in CRLs.
9986 [Steve Henson]
9987
9988 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9989 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9990 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9991 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9992 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9993 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9994 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9995 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9996 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9997 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9998 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9999
10000 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
10001 [Ben Laurie]
10002
10003 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
10004 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
10005 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
10006 for linking it into DSOs.
10007 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10008
10009 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
10010 Fixed.
10011 [Ben Laurie]
10012
10013 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
10014 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
10015 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
10016 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
10017 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
10018 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10019
10020 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
10021 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
10022 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
10023 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
10024 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
10025 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
10026 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10027
10028 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
10029 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
10030 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
10031 encryption.
10032 [Ben Laurie]
10033
10034 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
10035 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
10036 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
10037 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
10038 [Steve Henson]
10039
10040 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
10041 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
10042 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
10043 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
10044 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
10045 field as blank.
10046 [Steve Henson]
10047
10048 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
10049 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
10050 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
10051 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
10052 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10053
10054 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
10055 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
10056 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10057
10058 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
10059 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10060
10061 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
10062 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
10063 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
10064 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
10065 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
10066 [Steve Henson]
10067
10068 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
10069 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
10070 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
10071 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
10072 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
10073 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
10074 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
10075 [Ben Laurie]
10076
10077 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
10078 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
10079 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
10080 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
10081 [Ben Laurie]
10082
10083 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
10084 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
10085
10086 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
10087 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
10088 [Steve Henson]
10089
10090 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
10091 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
10092 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
10093 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
10094 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
10095 (e.g. s_server).
10096 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
10097 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
10098 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
10099 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
10100 no way to reconfigure them.
10101 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
10102 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
10103 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
10104 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
10105 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
10106 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10107
10108 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
10109 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
10110 recognized by the users.
10111 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10112
10113 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
10114 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
10115 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
10116 already masked variable.
10117 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10118
10119 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
10120 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10121
10122 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
10123 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
10124 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
10125 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10126
10127 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
10128 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
10129 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10130
10131 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
10132 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
10133 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
10134 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
10135 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
10136 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
10137 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
10138 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
10139 now, too.
10140 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10141
10142 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
10143 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
10144 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10145
10146 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
10147 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
10148 config file.
10149 [Steve Henson]
10150
10151 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
10152 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10153
10154 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
10155 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
10156 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
10157 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
10158 [Ben Laurie]
10159
10160 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
10161 [Steve Henson]
10162
10163 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
10164 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10165
10166 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10167 [Ben Laurie]
10168
10169 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10170 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10171 [Steve Henson]
10172
10173 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10174 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10175 [Steve Henson]
10176
10177 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10178 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10179 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10180 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10181 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10182 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10183 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10184 Ben Laurie]
10185
10186 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10187 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10188
10189 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10190 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10191 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10192 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10193 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10194
10195 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10196 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10197 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10198 [Steve Henson]
10199
10200 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10201 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10202 an example.
10203 [Steve Henson]
10204
10205 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10206 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10207 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10208
10209 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10210 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10211 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10212 build instructions.
10213 [Steve Henson]
10214
10215 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10216 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10217 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10218 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10219 [Steve Henson]
10220
10221 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10222 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10223 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10224 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10225 [Ben Laurie]
10226
10227 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10228 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10229 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10230 so it wasn't spotted.
10231 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10232
10233 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10234 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10235 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10236 vectors if you have them.
10237 [Ben Laurie]
10238
10239 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10240 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10241 [Ben Laurie]
10242
10243 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10244 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10245 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10246 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10247 If you do a:
10248 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10249 it will update them.
10250 [Steve Henson]
10251
10252 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10253 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10254 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10255 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10256 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10257 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10258 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10259 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10260
10261 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10262 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10263 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10264 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10265 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10266 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
10267 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
10268 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
10269 the crypto/md/ stuff).
10270 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10271
10272 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
10273 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
10274 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
10275 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
10276 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
10277 [Steve Henson]
10278
10279 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
10280 INTEGER code.
10281 [Steve Henson]
10282
10283 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
10284 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10285
10286 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
10287 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10288
10289 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
10290 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
10291 [Ben Laurie]
10292
10293 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
10294 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
10295
10296 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
10297 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
10298
10299 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
10300 [Steve Henson]
10301
10302 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10303 few typos.
10304 [Steve Henson]
10305
10306 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10307 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10308 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10309 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10310
10311 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10312 [Steve Henson]
10313
10314 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10315 [Steve Henson]
10316
10317 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10318 [Steve Henson]
10319
10320 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10321 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10322 [Steve Henson]
10323
10324 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10325 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10326 CA extensions.
10327 [Steve Henson]
10328
10329 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10330 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10331 [Steve Henson]
10332
10333 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10334 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10335 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10336 [Steve Henson]
10337
10338 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10339 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10340 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10341 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10342 properly to be processed.
10343 [Steve Henson]
10344
10345 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10346 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10347 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10348 [Ben Laurie]
10349
10350 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10351 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10352
10353 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10354 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10355 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10356 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10357 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10358 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10359 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10360 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10361 or delete all the .err files.
10362 [Steve Henson]
10363
10364 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10365 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10366 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10367 to regenerate it if needed.
10368 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10369 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10370
10371 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10372 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10373
10374 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10375 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10376 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10377 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10378 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10379 [Steve Henson]
10380
10381 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10382 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10383
10384 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10385 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10386
10387 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10388 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10389 error, but didn't set one).
10390 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10391
10392 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10393 [Ben Laurie]
10394
10395 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10396 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10397 [Steve Henson]
10398
10399 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10400 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10401
10402 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10403 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10404 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10405 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10406 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10407 OID is not part of the table.
10408 [Steve Henson]
10409
10410 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10411 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10412 [Ben Laurie]
10413
10414 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10415 [Ben Laurie]
10416
10417 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10418 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10419 was "1234").
10420 [Steve Henson]
10421
10422 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10423 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10424
10425 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10426 NULL pointers.
10427 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10428
10429 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10430 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10431
10432 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10433 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10434
10435 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10436 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10437
10438 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10439 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10440 [Ben Laurie]
10441
10442 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10443 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10444 [Steve Henson]
10445
10446 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10447 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10448
10449 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10450 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10451
10452 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10453 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10454
10455 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10456 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10457
10458 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10459 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10460 unused in the certificate verification process.
10461 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10462
10463 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10464 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10465 [Steve Henson]
10466
10467 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10468 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10469 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10470
10471 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10472 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10473 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10474 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10475 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10476
10477 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10478 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10479 [Steve Henson]
10480
10481 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10482 [Steve Henson]
10483
10484 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10485 [Paul Sutton]
10486
10487 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10488 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10489
10490 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10491 [Ben Laurie]
10492
10493 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10494 [Ben Laurie]
10495
10496 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10497 [Ben Laurie]
10498
10499 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10500 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10501 other error libraries.
10502 [Steve Henson]
10503
10504 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10505 [Steve Henson]
10506
10507 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10508 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10509 be read in.
10510 [Steve Henson]
10511
10512 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10513 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10514 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10515 the new set of documenation files.
10516 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10517
10518 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10519 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10520 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10521 number of arguments.
10522 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10523
10524 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10525 [Ben Laurie]
10526
10527 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10528 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10529 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
