10 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
11 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
12 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
13 chosen point SCA attacks.
14 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
15
16 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
17 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
18 [Matt Caswell]
19
20 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
21 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
22 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
23 [Matt Caswell]
24
25 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
26 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
27 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
28 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
29 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
30 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
31 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
32 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
33 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
34 [Kurt Roeckx]
35
36 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
37 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
38 [Richard Levitte]
39
40 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
41 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
42 [Billy Bob Brumley]
43
44 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
45 binary and prime elliptic curves.
46 [Billy Bob Brumley]
47
48 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
49 constant time fixed point multiplication.
50 [Billy Bob Brumley]
51
52 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
53 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
54 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
55 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
56 ECDH derive operations).
57 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
58 Sohaib ul Hassan]
59
60 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
61 [Rich Salz]
62
63 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
64 randomness from the system.
65 [Matthias St. Pierre]
66
67 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
68 [Richard Levitte]
69
70 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
71 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
72 [Matt Caswell]
73
74 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
75 [Matt Caswell]
76
77 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
78 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
79
80 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
81 [Richard Levitte]
82
83 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
84 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
85 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
86 [Matt Caswell]
87
88 *) Memory allocation failures consistenly add an error to the error
89 stack.
90 [Rich Salz]
91
92 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
93 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
94 [Bernd Edlinger]
95
96 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
97 [Matt Caswell]
98
99 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
100 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
101 [Matthias St. Pierre]
102
103 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
104 for the license change).
105 [Rich Salz]
106
107 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
108 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
109 [Matt Caswell]
110
111 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
112 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
113 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
114 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
115 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
116 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
117 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
118 [Matt Caswell]
119
120 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
121 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
122 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
123 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
124 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
125 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
126 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
127 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
128 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
129 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
130 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
131 written to stderr.
132 [Viktor Dukhovni]
133
134 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
135 Mike Hamburg.
136 [Matt Caswell]
137
138 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
139 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
140 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
141 get the search data out of them.
142 [Richard Levitte]
143
144 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
145 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
146 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
147 https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2018/02/08/tlsv1.3/
148
149 NOTE: In this pre-release of OpenSSL a draft version of the
150 TLSv1.3 standard has been implemented. Implementations of different draft
151 versions of the standard do not inter-operate, and this version will not
152 inter-operate with an implementation of the final standard when it is
153 eventually published. Different pre-release versions may implement
154 different versions of the draft. The final version of OpenSSL 1.1.1 will
155 implement the final version of the standard.
156 TODO(TLS1.3): Remove the above note before final release
157 [Matt Caswell]
158
159 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
160
161 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
162 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
163 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
164 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
165 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
166 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
167
168 Some of its new features are:
169 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
170 o Add a public DRBG instance for the default RAND method.
171 o Add a dedicated DRBG instance for generating long term private keys.
172 o Make the DRBG instances fork-safe.
173 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
174 o Add a DRBG instance to every SSL instance for lock free operation
175 and to increase unpredictability.
176 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
177
178 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
179 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
180 to display all sorts of configuration data.
181 [Richard Levitte]
182
183 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
184 [Richard Levitte]
185
186 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
187 [Paul Dale]
188
189 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
190 now been removed.
191 [Rich Salz]
192
193 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
194 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
195 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
196 debug (or make silent).
197 [Richard Levitte]
198
199 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
200 arguments to config / Configure.
201 [Richard Levitte]
202
203 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
204 [Paul Yang]
205
206 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
207 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
208 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
209 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
210
211 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
212 as documented in RFC6066.
213 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
214 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
215
216 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
217 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
218 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
219 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
220
221 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
222 original author does not agree with the license change.
223 [Rich Salz]
224
225 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
226 [Jon Spillett]
227
228 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
229 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
230 [Rich Salz]
231
232 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
233 without clearing the errors.
234 [Richard Levitte]
235
236 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
237 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
238 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
239 [Rich Salz]
240
241 *) Add SHA3.
242 [Andy Polyakov]
243
244 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
245 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
246 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
247 as a fallback).
248
249 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
250 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
251 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
252 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
253 [Richard Levitte]
254
255 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
256 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
257 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
258 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
259 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
260 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
261 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
262 [Richard Levitte]
263
264 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
265 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
266 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
267 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
268 [Richard Levitte]
269
270 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
271 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
272 error code calls like this:
273
274 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
275
276 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
277 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
278 affect new modules.
279 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
280
281 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
282 [Rich Salz]
283
284 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
285 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
286 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
287 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
288 [Richard Levitte]
289
290 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
291 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
292 than just the call where this user data is passed.
293 [Richard Levitte]
294
295 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
296 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
297 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
298
299 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
300 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
301 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
302 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
303 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
304 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
305 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
306 issues.
307 [Matt Caswell]
308
309 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
310 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
311 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
312 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
313 [Richard Levitte]
314
315 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
316 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
317 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
318
319 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
320 does for RSA, etc.
321 [Richard Levitte]
322
323 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
324 platform rather than 'mingw'.
325 [Richard Levitte]
326
327 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
328 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
329 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
330 certificates and CRLs.
331 [Paul Dale]
332
333 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
334 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
335 [Andy Polyakov]
336
337 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
338 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
339 [Richard Levitte]
340
341 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
342 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
343 which is the minimum version we support.
344 [Richard Levitte]
345
346 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
347 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
348 are no longer allowed.
349 [Emilia Käsper]
350
351 *) Add support for ARIA
352 [Paul Dale]
353
354 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
355 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
356 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
357 using "-servername".
358 [Matt Caswell]
359
360 *) Add support for SipHash
361 [Todd Short]
362
363 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
364 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
365 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
366 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
367 [Matt Caswell]
368
369 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
370 using the algorithm defined in
371 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
372 [Richard Levitte]
373
374 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
375 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
376
377 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
378 [Emilia Käsper]
379
380 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
381 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
382 [Rich Salz]
383
384
385 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
386
387 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
388
389 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
390 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
391 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
392 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
393 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
394 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
395 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
396 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
397 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
398 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
399 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
400 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
401 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
402 [Matt Caswell]
403
404 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
405
406 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
407
408 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
409 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
410 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
411 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
412 so this is considered safe.
413
414 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
415 project.
416 (CVE-2018-0739)
417 [Matt Caswell]
418
419 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
420
421 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
422 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
423 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
424 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
425 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
426 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
427
428 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
429 (IBM).
430 (CVE-2018-0733)
431 [Andy Polyakov]
432
433 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
434 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
435 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
436 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
437 [Richard Levitte]
438
439 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
440
441 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
442 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
443 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
444 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
445 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
446
447 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
448 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
449 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
450 [Matt Caswell]
451
452 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
453 exist.
454 [Rich Salz]
455
456 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
457
458 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
459 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
460 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
461 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
462 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
463 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
464 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
465 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
466 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
467 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
468
469 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
470 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
471
472 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
473 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
474 (CVE-2017-3738)
475 [Andy Polyakov]
476
477 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
478
479 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
480
481 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
482 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
483 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
484 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
485 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
486 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
487 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
488 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
489 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
490 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
491 key that is shared between multiple clients.
492
493 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
494 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
495
496 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
497 (CVE-2017-3736)
498 [Andy Polyakov]
499
500 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
501
502 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
503 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
504 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
505
506 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
507 (CVE-2017-3735)
508 [Rich Salz]
509
510 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
511
512 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
513 platform rather than 'mingw'.
514 [Richard Levitte]
515
516 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
517 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
518 which is the minimum version we support.

521 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
522
523 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
524
525 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
526 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
527 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
528 and servers are affected.
529
530 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
531 (CVE-2017-3733)
532 [Matt Caswell]
533
534 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
535
536 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
537
538 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
539 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
540 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
541
542 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
543 (CVE-2017-3731)
544 [Andy Polyakov]
545
546 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
547
548 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
549 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
550 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
551 of Service attack.
552
553 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
554 (CVE-2017-3730)
555 [Matt Caswell]
556
557 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
558
559 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
560 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
561 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
562 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
563 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
564 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
565 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
566 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
567 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
568 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
569 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
570 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
571 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
572
573 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
574 (CVE-2017-3732)
575 [Andy Polyakov]
576
577 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
578
579 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
580
581 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
582 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
583 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
584
585 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
586 (CVE-2016-7054)
587 [Richard Levitte]
588
589 *) CMS Null dereference
590
591 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
592 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
593 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
594 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
595 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
596 affected.
597
598 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
599 (CVE-2016-7053)
600 [Stephen Henson]
601
602 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
603
604 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
605 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
606 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
607 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
608 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
609 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
610 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
611 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
612 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
613 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
614 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
615 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
616 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
617 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
618
619 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
620 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
621 providing reproducible case.
622 (CVE-2016-7055)
623 [Andy Polyakov]
624
625 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
626 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
627 [Richard Levitte]
628
629 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
630
631 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
632
633 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
634 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
635 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
636 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
637 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
638 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
639
640 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
641
642 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
643 (CVE-2016-6309)
644 [Matt Caswell]
645
646 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
647
648 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
649
650 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
651 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
652 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
653 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
654 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
655 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
656 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
657
658 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
659 (CVE-2016-6304)
660 [Matt Caswell]
661
662 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
663
664 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
665 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
666 Denial Of Service attack.
667
668 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
669 (CVE-2016-6305)
670 [Matt Caswell]
671
672 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
673 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
674
675 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
676 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
677 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
678 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
679 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
680 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
681 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
682 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
683 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
684 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
685 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
686 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
687 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
688 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
689 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
690
691 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
692 that the connection fails
693 or
694 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
695 very little free memory
696 or
697 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
698 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
699 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
700 memory to service the multiple requests.
701
702 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
703 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
704 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
705 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
706 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
707
708 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
709 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
710 [Matt Caswell]
711
712 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
713 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
714 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
715 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
716 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
717 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
718 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
719 [Andy Polyakov]
720
721 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
722
723 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
724 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
725 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
726 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
727 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
728 non-ASCII password.
729 [Andy Polyakov]
730
731 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
732 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
733 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
734 [Rich Salz]
735
736 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
737 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
738 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
739 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
740 [Matt Caswell]
741
742 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
743 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
744 success.
745 [Matt Caswell]
746
747 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
748 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
749 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
750 no-ops and deprecated.
751 [Matt Caswell]
752
753 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
754 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
755 were also closed.
756 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
757
758 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
759 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
760 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
761 [Rich Salz]
762
763 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
764 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
765 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
766 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
767 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
768 and the validity of object reference counter.
769 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
770
771 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
772 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
773 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
774 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
775 [Richard Levitte]
776
777 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
778 [Richard Levitte]
779
780 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
781 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
782 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
783 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
784
785 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
786
787 [Richard Levitte]
788
789 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
790 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
791 [Steve Henson]
792
793 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
794 [Andy Polyakov]
795
796 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
797 [Rich Salz]
798
799 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
800 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
801 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
802 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
803 name and is used as is.
804 [Richard Levitte]
805
806 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
807 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
808 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
809 [Rich Salz]
810
811 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
812 the "no-shared" Configure option.
813 [Matt Caswell]
814
815 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
816 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
817 algorithms.
818 [Matt Caswell]
819
820 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
821 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
822 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
823 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
824 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
825 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
826 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
827 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
828 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
829 [Matt Caswell]
830
831 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
832 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
833 enabled with '--debug' builds.
834 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
835
836 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
837 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
838 these have been added.
839 [Matt Caswell]
840
841 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
842 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
843 functions for managing these have been added.
844 [Richard Levitte]
845
846 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
847 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
848 these have been added.
849 [Matt Caswell]
850
851 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
852 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
853 have been added.
854 [Matt Caswell]
855
856 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
857 [Matt Caswell]
858
859 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
860 [Richard Levitte]
861
862 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
863 it is always safe to #include a header now.
864 [Rich Salz]
865
866 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
867 [Richard Levitte]
868
869 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
870 [Rich Salz]
871
872 *) Add support for HKDF.
873 [Alessandro Ghedini]
874
875 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
876 [Bill Cox]
877
878 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
879 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
880 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
881 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
882 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
883 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
884 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
885 [Matt Caswell]
886
887 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
888 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
889 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
890 [Catriona Lucey]
891
892 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
893 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
894 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
895 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
896 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
897 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
898 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
899
900 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
901 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
902 [Todd Short]
903
904 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
905 [Todd Short]
906
907 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
908 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
909 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
910 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
911 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
912 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
913 default cipherlist.
914 [Emilia Käsper]
915
916 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
917 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
918 [Rich Salz]
919
920 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
921 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
922 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
923 [Matt Caswell]
924
925 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
926 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
927 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
928 implemented by other servers.
929 [Emilia Käsper]
930
931 *) Add X25519 support.
932 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
933 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
934 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
935 key generation and key derivation.
936
937 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
938 X25519(29).
939 [Steve Henson]
940
941 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
942 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
943 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
944 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
945 seed, even if the seed is configured.
946
947 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
948 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
949 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
950 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
951 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
952 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
953 that of a valid user.
954 [Emilia Käsper]
955
956 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
957 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
958 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
959 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
960
961 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
962 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
963
964 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
965 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
966 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
967 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
968
969 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
970 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
971 irrelevant.
972 [Richard Levitte]
973
974 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
975 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
976 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
977 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
978 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
979 of how OpenSSL was configured.
980
981 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
982 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
983 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
984 [Richard Levitte]
985
986 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
987 [Rich Salz]
988
989 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
990 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
991 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
992 removed.
993 [Richard Levitte]
994
995 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
996 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
997 old #define's might need to be updated.
998 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
999
1000 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1001 [Rich Salz]
1002
1003 *) New "unified" build system
1004
1005 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1006 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1007
1008 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1009 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1010 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1011
1012 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1013 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1014 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1015 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1016 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1017
1018 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1019 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1020 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1021 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1022 libraries" in INSTALL.
1023
1024 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1025 [Richard Levitte]
1026
1027 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1028 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1029 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1030 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1031 [Matt Caswell]
1032
1033 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1034 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1035
1036 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1037 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1038 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1039 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1040 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1041 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1042 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1043 have been adapted accordingly.
1044 [Richard Levitte]
1045
1046 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1047 the leading 0-byte.
1048 [Emilia Käsper]
1049
1050 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1051 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1052 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1053 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1054 [Emilia Käsper]
1055
1056 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1057 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1058 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1059 'unsigned char*'.
1060 [Emilia Käsper]
1061
1062 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1063 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1064 [Emilia Käsper]
1065
1066 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1067 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1068 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1069 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1070 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1071 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1072 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1073
1074 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1075 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1076
1077 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1078 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1079 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1080 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1081 Text::Template.
1082
1083 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1084 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1085 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1086 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1087 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1088 %target).
1089 [Richard Levitte]
1090
1091 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1092 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1093 straightforward and less interdependent.
1094
1095 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1096 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1097 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1098
1099 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1100 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1101 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1102 installed.
1103 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1104 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1105 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1106 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1107
1108 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1109 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1110 [Richard Levitte]
1111
1112 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1113 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1114 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1115 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1116 is present).
1117 [Matt Caswell]
1118
1119 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1120 configuring.
1121 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1122
1123 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1124 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1125 before trying to build now.*
1126 [Rich Salz]
1127
1128 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1129 has changed.
1130 [Rich Salz]
1131
1132 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1133
1134 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1135 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1136 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1137 used to authenticate the peer.
1138
1139 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1140 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1141 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1142 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1143 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1144 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1145
1146 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1147 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1148 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1149 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1150 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1151 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1152
1153 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1154 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1155 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1156 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1157 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1158 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1159 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1160 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1161 version.
1162
1163 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1164 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1165 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1166 compile with later releases.
1167
1168 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1169 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1170 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1171 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1172 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1173 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1174
1175 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1176 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1177 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1178 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1179 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1180 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1181 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1182 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1183 [Kurt Roeckx]
1184
1185 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1186 [Andy Polyakov]
1187
1188 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1189 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1190 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1191 ECDSA_SIG format.
1192
1193 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1194 include the ec.h header file instead.
1195 [Steve Henson]
1196
1197 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1198 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1199 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1200 [Kurt Roeckx]
1201
1202 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1203 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1204 were added:
1205
1206 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1207 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1208
1209 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1210 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1211 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1212
1213 Additional changes:
1214 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1215 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1216 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1217 an already created structure.
1218 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1219 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1220 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1221 for deprecated builds.
1222 [Richard Levitte]
1223
1224 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1225 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1226 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1227 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1228 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1229 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1230 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1231 [Matt Caswell]
1232
1233 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1234 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1235 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1236 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1237 [Kurt Roeckx]
1238
1239 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1240 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1241 [Kurt Roeckx]
1242
1243 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1244 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1245 [Kurt Roeckx]
1246
1247 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1248 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1249 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1250 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1251 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1252 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1253 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1254 also been removed.
1255 [Matt Caswell]
1256
1257 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1258 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1259 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1260 [Rich Salz]
1261
1262 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1263 [Rich Salz]
1264
1265 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1266 sureware and ubsec.
1267 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1268
1269 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1270
1271 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1272 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1273
1274 FOO *x;
1275
1276 it must be:
1277
1278 FOO x;
1279
1280 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1281 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1282
1283 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1284 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1285 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1286 SEQUENCE OF.
1287 [Steve Henson]
1288
1289 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1290 [Emilia Käsper]
1291
1292 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1293 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1294 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1295 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1296 [Matt Caswell]
1297
1298 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1299 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1300 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1301 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1302 [Emilia Käsper]
1303
1304 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1305 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1306 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1307
1308 *) New testing framework
1309 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1310 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1311 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1312 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1313 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1314 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1315
1316 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1317
1318 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1319 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1320
1321 [Richard Levitte]
1322
1323 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1324 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1325 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1326 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1327 [Rich Salz]
1328
1329 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1330 return an error
1331 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1332
1333 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1334 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1335
1336 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1337 original RSA_PSK patch.
1338 [Steve Henson]
1339
1340 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1341 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1342 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1343 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1344 [Matt Caswell]
1345
1346 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1347 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1348 [Richard Levitte]
1349
1350 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1351 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1352 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1353 [Emilia Käsper]
1354
1355 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1356 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1357 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1358 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1359 transferred.
1360 [Matt Caswell]
1361
1362 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1363 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1364 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1365 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1366 [Matt Caswell]
1367
1368 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1369 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1370 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1371 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1372 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1373 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1374 [Matt Caswell]
1375
1376 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1377 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1378 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1379 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1380 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1381 header file has been removed.
1382 [Matt Caswell]
1383
1384 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1385 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1386 [Matt Caswell]
1387
1388 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1389 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1390 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1391
1392 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1393 Added a test.
1394 [Rich Salz]
1395
1396 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1397 [Rich Salz]
1398
1399 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1400 sha256
1401 [Rich Salz]
1402
1403 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1404 [Matt Caswell]
1405
1406 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1407 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1408 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1409 [Steve Henson]
1410
1411 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1412 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1413 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1414 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1415 [Matt Caswell]
1416
1417 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1418 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1419 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1420 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1421 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1422 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1423 [Matt Caswell]
1424
1425 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1426 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1427 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1428 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1429 [Matt Caswell]
1430
1431 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1432 compatible client hello.
1433 [Kurt Roeckx]
1434
1435 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1436 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1437 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1438
1439 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1440 [Rich Salz]
1441
1442 *) Removed old DES API.
1443 [Rich Salz]
1444
1445 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1446 Sony NEWS4
1447 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1448 NeXT
1449 SUNOS
1450 MPE/iX
1451 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1452 DGUX
1453 NCR
1454 Tandem
1455 Cray
1456 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1457 [Rich Salz]
1458
1459 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1460 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1461 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1462 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1463 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1464 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1465 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1466 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1467 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1468 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1469 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1470 [Rich Salz]
1471
1472 *) Cleaned up dead code
1473 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1474 [Rich Salz]
1475
1476 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1477 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1478 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1479 [Rich Salz]
1480
1481 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1482 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1483 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1484 [Rich Salz]
1485
1486 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1487 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1488 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1489
1490 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1491 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1492 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1493
1494 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1495 compilation flags.
1496 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1497
1498 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1499 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1500 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1501
1502 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1503 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1504
1505 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1506 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1507 server.
1508
1509 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1510 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1511 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1512 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1513
1514 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1515 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1516 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1517 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1518
1519 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1520 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1521 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1522
1523 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1524 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1525 [Steve Henson]
1526
1527 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1528
1529 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1530 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1531
1532 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1533 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1534
1535 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1536 effect.
1537
1538 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1539
1540 [Steve Henson]
1541
1542 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1543 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1544 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1545 algorithms and include tests cases.
1546 [Steve Henson]
1547
1548 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1549 enveloped data.
1550 [Steve Henson]
1551
1552 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1553 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1554 [Steve Henson]
1555
1556 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1557 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1558
1559 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1560 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1561 [Steve Henson]
1562
1563 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1564 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1565 failures.
1566 [Steve Henson]
1567
1568 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1569 sign or verify all in one operation.
1570 [Steve Henson]
1571
1572 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1573 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1574 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1575 [Steve Henson]
1576
1577 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1578 [Steve Henson]
1579
1580 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1581 [Steve Henson]
1582
1583 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1584 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1585 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1586 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1587 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1588 [Steve Henson]
1589
1590 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1591 based on NID.
1592 [Steve Henson]
1593
1594 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1595 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1596 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1597 [Steve Henson]
1598
1599 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1600 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1601
1602 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1603 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1604 [Steve Henson]
1605
1606 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1607 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1608 [Steve Henson]
1609
1610 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1611 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1612 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1613 [Steve Henson]
1614
1615 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1616 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1617 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1618 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1619 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1620 requested amount of entropy.
1621 [Steve Henson]
1622
1623 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1624 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1625 [Steve Henson]
1626
1627 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1628 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1629 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1630 support.
1631 [Steve Henson]
1632
1633 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1634 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1635 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1636 [Steve Henson]
1637
1638 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1639 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1640 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1641 will never use XTS mode.
1642 [Steve Henson]
1643
1644 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1645 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1646 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1647 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1648 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1649 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1650 [Steve Henson]
1651
1652 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1653 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1654 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1655 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1656 [Steve Henson]
1657
1658 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1659 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1660 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1661 [Steve Henson]
1662
1663 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1664 [Steve Henson]
1665
1666 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1667 [Steve Henson]
1668
1669 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1670 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1671 [Steve Henson]
1672
1673 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1674 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1675 [Steve Henson]
1676
1677 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1678 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1679 [Steve Henson]
1680
1681 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1682 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1683 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1684 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1685 and rename any affected symbols.
1686 [Steve Henson]
1687
1688 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1689 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1690 [Steve Henson]
1691
1692 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1693 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1694 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1695 [Steve Henson]
1696
1697 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1698 [Steve Henson]
1699
1700 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1701 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1702 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1703 [Steve Henson]
1704
1705 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1706 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1707 [Steve Henson]
1708
1709 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1710 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1711 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1712 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1713 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1714 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1715 set before the key.
1716 [Steve Henson]
1717
1718 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1719 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1720 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1721 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1722 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1723 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1724 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1725 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1726 [Steve Henson]
1727
1728 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1729 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1730 [Steve Henson]
1731
1732 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1733
1734 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1735 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1736
1737 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1738 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1739 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1740 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1741 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1742 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1743
1744 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1745 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1746 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1747 security.
1748 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1749
1750 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1751 parameters by name.
1752 [Steve Henson]
1753
1754 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1755 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1756 [Steve Henson]
1757
1758 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1759 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1760 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1761 [Steve Henson]
1762
1763 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1764 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1765 multi-process servers.
1766 [Steve Henson]
1767
1768 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1769 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1770 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1771 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1772 RAND_METHOD structure.
1773 [Steve Henson]
1774
1775 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1776 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1777 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1778 whose return value is often ignored.
1779 [Steve Henson]
1780
1781 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1782 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1783 validated when establishing a connection.
1784 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
1785
1786 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1787
1788 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1789
1790 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1791 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1792 AES-NI.
1793
1794 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1795 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1796 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1797 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1798 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1799 bytes.
1800
1801 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1802 (CVE-2016-2107)
1803 [Kurt Roeckx]
1804
1805 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1806
1807 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1808 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1809 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1810 corruption.
1811
1812 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1813 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1814 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1815 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1816 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1817 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1818
1819 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1820 (CVE-2016-2105)
1821 [Matt Caswell]
1822
1823 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1824
1825 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1826 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1827 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1828 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1829 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1830 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1831 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1832 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1833 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1834 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1835 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1836 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1837 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1838 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1839 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1840 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1841
1842 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1843 (CVE-2016-2106)
1844 [Matt Caswell]
1845
1846 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1847
1848 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1849 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1850 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1851
1852 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1853 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1854 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1855 applications are not affected.
1856
1857 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1858 (CVE-2016-2109)
1859 [Stephen Henson]
1860
1861 *) EBCDIC overread
1862
1863 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1864 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1865 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1866
1867 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1868 (CVE-2016-2176)
1869 [Matt Caswell]
1870
1871 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1872 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1873 [Todd Short]
1874
1875 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1876 default.
1877 [Kurt Roeckx]
1878
1879 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1880 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1881 [Kurt Roeckx]
1882
1883 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1884
1885 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1886 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1887 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1888 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1889
1890 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1891 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1892 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1893 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1894 will need to explicitly call either of:
1895
1896 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1897 or
1898 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1899
1900 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1901 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1902 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1903 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1904 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1905 (CVE-2016-0800)
1906 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1907
1908 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1909
1910 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1911 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1912 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1913 considered rare.
1914
1915 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1916 libFuzzer.
1917 (CVE-2016-0705)
1918 [Stephen Henson]
1919
1920 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1921
1922 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1923
1924 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1925 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1926 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1927 is configured.
1928
1929 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1930 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1931 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1932 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1933 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1934 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1935 that of a valid user.
1936 (CVE-2016-0798)
1937 [Emilia Käsper]
1938
1939 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1940
1941 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1942 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1943 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1944 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1945 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1946 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1947 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1948 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1949 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1950 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1951 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1952
1953 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1954 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1955 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1956 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1957 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1958
1959 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1960 (CVE-2016-0797)
1961 [Matt Caswell]
1962
1963 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1964
1965 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1966 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1967 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1968
1969 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1970 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1971 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1972 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1973 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1974 also occur.
1975
1976 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1977 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1978 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1979 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1980 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1981 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1982 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1983 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1984 as command line arguments.
1985
1986 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1987 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1988 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

1992 [Matt Caswell]
1993
1994 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1995
1996 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1997 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1998 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1999 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2000 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2001
2002 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2003 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
2004 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
2005 http://cachebleed.info.

2008
2009 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
2010 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2011 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2012 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

2015 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2016 *) DH small subgroups
2017
2018 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2019 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2020 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2021 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2022 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2023 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2024 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2025 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2026 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2027 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2028
2029 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2030 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2031 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2032 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2033 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2034
2035 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2036 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2037 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2038 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2039
2040 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2041 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.

2044 (CVE-2016-0701)
2045 [Matt Caswell]
2046
2047 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2048
2049 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2050 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2051 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2052 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2060
2061 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2062
2063 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2064 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2065 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2066 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2067 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2068 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2069 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2070 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2071 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2072 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2073 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2074 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2077 (CVE-2015-3193)
2078 [Andy Polyakov]
2079
2080 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2081
2082 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2083 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2084 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2085 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2086 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2087 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2088 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2089 authentication.
2090
2091 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).

2093 [Stephen Henson]
2094
2095 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
2096
2097 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
2098 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2099 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2100 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
2101
2102 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
2103 libFuzzer.
2104 (CVE-2015-3195)
2105 [Stephen Henson]
2106
2107 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2108 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
2109 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
2110 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.

2117 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
2118
2119 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2120
2121 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2122 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2123 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2124 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2125 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2126 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
2127
2128 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin

2131
2132 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
2133
2134 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
2135 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
2136 restored.

2138
2139 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
2140
2141 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2142
2143 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2144 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2145 field.
2146
2147 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2148 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2149 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2150 client authentication enabled.
2151
2152 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
2153 (CVE-2015-1788)
2154 [Andy Polyakov]
2155
2156 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2157
2158 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2159 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2160 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2161 time string.
2162
2163 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2164 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2165 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2166 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2167 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2168 callbacks.
2169
2170 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
2171 independently by Hanno Böck.
2172 (CVE-2015-1789)
2173 [Emilia Käsper]
2174
2175 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2176
2177 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2178 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2179 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2180
2181 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2182 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2183 servers are not affected.

2186 (CVE-2015-1790)
2187 [Emilia Käsper]
2188
2189 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2190
2191 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2192 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2193 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2194 the CMS code.
2195 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.

2197 [Stephen Henson]
2198
2199 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
2200
2201 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
2202 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
2203 a double free of the ticket data.
2204 (CVE-2015-1791)
2205 [Matt Caswell]
2206

2213
2214 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2215
2216 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2217 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2218 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2219
2220 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2221 University.
2222 (CVE-2015-0291)
2223 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2224
2225 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2226
2227 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2228 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2229 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2230 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2231 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2232 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2233 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2234 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2235
2236 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2237 (CVE-2015-0290)
2238 [Matt Caswell]
2239
2240 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2241
2242 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2243 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2244 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2245 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2246 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2247 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2248 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2249 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2250 server.
2251
2252 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2253 (CVE-2015-0207)
2254 [Matt Caswell]
2255
2256 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2257
2258 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2259 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2260 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2261 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2262 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2263 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2264 (CVE-2015-0286)
2265 [Stephen Henson]
2266
2267 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2268
2269 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2270 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2271 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2272 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2273 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2274 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2275 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

2277 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2278 (CVE-2015-0208)
2279 [Stephen Henson]
2280
2281 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2282
2283 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2284 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2285 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2286
2287 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2288 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2289 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2290 not affected.
2291 (CVE-2015-0287)
2292 [Stephen Henson]
2293
2294 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2295
2296 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2297 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2298 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2299
2300 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2301 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2302 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2303
2304 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2305 (CVE-2015-0289)
2306 [Emilia Käsper]
2307
2308 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2309
2310 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2311 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2312 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2313
2314 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2315 (OpenSSL development team).
2316 (CVE-2015-0293)
2317 [Emilia Käsper]
2318
2319 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2320
2321 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2322 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2323 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2324 (CVE-2015-1787)
2325 [Matt Caswell]
2326
2327 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2328
2329 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2330 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2331 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2332 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2333 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2334 SSL_client_methodv23)
2335 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2336 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2337
2338 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2339 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2340 output may be predictable.
2341
2342 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2343 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2344
2345 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2346 (CVE-2015-0285)
2347 [Matt Caswell]
2348
2349 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2350
2351 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2352 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2353 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2354 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2355 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2356 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2357
2358 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2359 commit 517073cd4b.
2360 (CVE-2015-0209)
2361 [Matt Caswell]
2362
2363 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2364
2365 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2366 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2367
2368 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.

2372 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2373 [Kurt Roeckx]
2374
2375 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2376
2377 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2378 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2379 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2380 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2381 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2382 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2383 [Andy Polyakov]
2384
2385 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2386 (other platforms pending).
2387 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2388
2389 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2390 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2391 [Rob Stradling]
2392
2393 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2394 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2395 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2396 [Bodo Moeller]
2397
2398 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2399 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2400 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2401 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2402 [Andy Polyakov]
2403
2404 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2405 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2406
2407 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2408 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2409 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2410 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2411 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2412
2413 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2414 [Andy Polyakov]
2415
2416 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2417 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2418 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2419 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2420
2421 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2422 RSAZ.
2423 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2424
2425 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2426 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2427 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2428 for TLS encrypt.
2429
2430 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2431 [Andy Polyakov]
2432
2433 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2434 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2435 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2436 [Steve Henson]
2437
2438 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2439 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2440 [Steve Henson]
2441
2442 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2443 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2444 [Steve Henson]
2445
2446 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2447 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2448 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2449 algorithms and include tests cases.
2450 [Steve Henson]
2451
2452 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2453 structure.
2454 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2455
2456 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2457 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2458 [Steve Henson]
2459
2460 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2461 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2462 summary of the connection parameters.
2463 [Steve Henson]
2464
2465 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2466 of connection parameters.
2467 [Steve Henson]
2468
2469 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2470 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2471
2472 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2473 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2474 [Steve Henson]
2475
2476 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2477 [Steve Henson]
2478
2479 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2480 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2481 [Steve Henson]
2482
2483 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2484 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2485 [Steve Henson]
2486
2487 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2488 certificates.
2489 [Steve Henson]
2490
2491 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2492 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2493 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2494 [Steve Henson]
2495
2496 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2497 [Steve Henson]
2498
2499 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2500 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2501 [Steve Henson]
2502
2503 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2504 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2505 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2506 tracing.
2507 [Steve Henson]
2508
2509 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2510 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2511 [Steve Henson]
2512
2513 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2514 OID NID.
2515 [Steve Henson]
2516
2517 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2518 client to OpenSSL.
2519 [Steve Henson]
2520
2521 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2522 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2523 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2524 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2525 [Steve Henson]
2526
2527 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2528 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2529 [Steve Henson]
2530
2531 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2532 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2533 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2534 comparison.
2535 [Steve Henson]
2536
2537 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2538 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2539 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2540 use the certificate.
2541 [Steve Henson]
2542
2543 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2544 [Steve Henson]
2545
2546 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2547 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2548 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2549 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2550 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2551 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2552 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2553
2554 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2555 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2556
2557 [Steve Henson]
2558
2559 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2560 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2561 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2562 [Steve Henson]
2563
2564 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2565 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2566 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2567 supported signature algorithms.
2568 [Steve Henson]
2569
2570 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2571 [Steve Henson]
2572
2573 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2574 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2575 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2576 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2577 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2578 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2579 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2580 [Steve Henson]
2581
2582 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2583 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2584 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2585 to have similar checks in it.
2586
2587 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2588 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2589 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2590 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2591 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2592 [Steve Henson]
2593
2594 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2595 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2596 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2597 shared signature algorithms.
2598 [Steve Henson]
2599
2600 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2601 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2602 to support them.
2603 [Steve Henson]
2604
2605 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2606 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2607 it couldn't be removed.
2608 [Steve Henson]
2609
2610 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2611 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2612 [Steve Henson]
2613
2614 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2615 functions. Add manual page.
2616 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2617
2618 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2619 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2620 a certificate.
2621 [Steve Henson]
2622
2623 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2624 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2625
2626 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2627 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2628 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2629 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2630 utility) or reject.
2631 [Steve Henson]
2632
2633 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2634 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2635 [Steve Henson]
2636
2637 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2638 platform support for Linux and Android.
2639 [Andy Polyakov]
2640
2641 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2642 [Andy Polyakov]
2643
2644 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2645 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2646 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2647 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2648 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2649 [Steve Henson]
2650
2651 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2652 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2653 the new parameter format automatically.
2654 [Steve Henson]
2655
2656 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2657 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2658 [Steve Henson]
2659
2660 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2661 [Steve Henson]
2662
2663 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2664 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2665 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2666 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2667 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2668 [Steve Henson]
2669
2670 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2671 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2672 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2673 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2674 to set list of supported curves.
2675 [Steve Henson]
2676
2677 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2678 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2679 to print out received values.
2680 [Steve Henson]
2681
2682 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2683 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2684 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2685 [Steve Henson]
2686
2687 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2688 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2689 [Steve Henson]
2690
2691 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2692 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2693 [Steve Henson]
2694
2695 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2696 certificates.
2697 [Steve Henson]
2698
2699 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2700 the certificate.
2701 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2702 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2703 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2704
2705 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2706
2707 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2708 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2709
2710 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2711
2712 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2713 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2714 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2715 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2716 (CVE-2014-3571)
2717 [Steve Henson]
2718
2719 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2720 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2721 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2722 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2723 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2724 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2725 (CVE-2015-0206)
2726 [Matt Caswell]
2727
2728 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2729 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2730 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2731 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2732 (CVE-2014-3569)
2733 [Kurt Roeckx]
2734
2735 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2736 ECDH ciphersuites.
2737
2738 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2739 reporting this issue.
2740 (CVE-2014-3572)
2741 [Steve Henson]
2742
2743 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2744 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2745 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2746 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2747 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2748 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2749 (CVE-2015-0204)
2750 [Steve Henson]
2751
2752 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2753 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2754 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2755 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2756 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2757 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2758 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2759 this issue.
2760 (CVE-2015-0205)
2761 [Steve Henson]
2762
2763 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2764 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2765
2766 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2767 and can vary with the CTX.
2768 [Adam Langley]
2769
2770 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2771
2772 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2773 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2774 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2775 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2776 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2777
2778 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2779
2780 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2781 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2782
2783 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2784
2785 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2786 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2787 errors for some broken certificates.
2788
2789 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2790
2791 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2792
2793 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2794 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2795
2796 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2797 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2798 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2799 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2800
2801 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2802 of the OpenSSL core team.
2803
2804 (CVE-2014-8275)
2805 [Steve Henson]
2806
2807 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2808 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2809 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2810 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2811 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2812 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2813 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2814 the OpenSSL core team.
2815 (CVE-2014-3570)
2816 [Andy Polyakov]
2817
2818 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2819 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2820 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2821 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2822 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2823
2824 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2825 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2826 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2827 [Emilia Käsper]
2828
2829 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2830 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2831 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2832 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2833 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2834
2835 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2836 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2837 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2838 [Emilia Käsper]
2839
2840 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2841
2842 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2843
2844 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2845 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2846 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2847 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2848 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2849 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2850 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2851
2852 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2853 (CVE-2014-3513)
2854 [OpenSSL team]
2855
2856 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2857
2858 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2859 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2860 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2861 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2862 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2863 attack.
2864 (CVE-2014-3567)
2865 [Steve Henson]
2866
2867 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2868
2869 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2870 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2871 configured to send them.
2872 (CVE-2014-3568)
2873 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2874
2875 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2876 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2877 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2878 (CVE-2014-3566)
2879 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2880
2881 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2882
2883 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2884 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2885 DigestInfo structures.
2886
2887 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2888
2889 [Steve Henson]
2890
2891 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2892
2893 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2894 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2895 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2896
2897 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2898 Group for discovering this issue.
2899 (CVE-2014-3512)
2900 [Steve Henson]
2901
2902 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2903 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2904 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2905 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2906 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2907
2908 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2909 researching this issue.
2910 (CVE-2014-3511)
2911 [David Benjamin]
2912
2913 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2914 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2915 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2916 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2917
2918 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2919 issue.
2920 (CVE-2014-3510)
2921 [Emilia Käsper]
2922
2923 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2924 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2925 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2926 (CVE-2014-3507)
2927 [Adam Langley]
2928
2929 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2930 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2931 Denial of Service attack.
2932 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2933 (CVE-2014-3506)
2934 [Adam Langley]
2935
2936 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2937 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2938 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2939 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2940 this issue.
2941 (CVE-2014-3505)
2942 [Adam Langley]
2943
2944 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2945 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2946 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2947
2948 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2949 issue.
2950 (CVE-2014-3509)
2951 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2952
2953 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2954 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2955 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2956 Denial of Service attack.
2957
2958 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2959 discovering and researching this issue.
2960 (CVE-2014-5139)
2961 [Steve Henson]
2962
2963 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2964 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2965 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2966 output to the attacker.
2967
2968 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2969 (CVE-2014-3508)
2970 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2971
2972 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2973 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2974 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2975 [Bodo Moeller]
2976
2977 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2978
2979 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2980 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2981 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2982
2983 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2984 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2985 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2986
2987 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2988 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2989 in a DoS attack.
2990
2991 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2992 (CVE-2014-0221)
2993 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2994
2995 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2996 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2997 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2998 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2999
3000 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3001 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3002
3003 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3004 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3005
3006 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3007 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3008 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3009
3010 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3011 compilation flags.
3012 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3013
3014 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3015 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3016 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3017
3018 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3019 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3020
3021 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3022
3023 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3024 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3025 server.
3026
3027 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3028 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3029 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3030 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3031
3032 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3033 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3034 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3035 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3036
3037 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3038 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3039 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3040
3041 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3042
3043 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3044 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3045 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3046 is at least 512 bytes long.
3047
3048 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3049
3050 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3051
3052 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3053 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3054 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3055 (CVE-2013-4353)
3056
3057 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3058 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3059 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3060 [Steve Henson]
3061
3062 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3063 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3064 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3065 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3066 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3067 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3068 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3069
3070 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3071
3072 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3073 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3074 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3075
3076 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3077
3078 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3079
3080 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3081 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3082 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3083
3084 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3085 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3086 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3087 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3088 (CVE-2013-0169)
3089 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3090
3091 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3092 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3093 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3094 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3095 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3096 (CVE-2012-2686)
3097 [Adam Langley]
3098
3099 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3100 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3101 [Steve Henson]
3102
3103 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3104 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3105
3106 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3107 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3108 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3109 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3110 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3111
3112 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3113 [Steve Henson]
3114
3115 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3116 if renegotiating.
3117 [Steve Henson]
3118
3119 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3120
3121 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3122 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3123
3124 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3125 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3126 (CVE-2012-2333)
3127 [Steve Henson]
3128
3129 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3130 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3131 [Steve Henson]
3132
3133 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3134 approved.
3135 [Steve Henson]
3136
3137 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3138
3139 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3140 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3141 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3142 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3143 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3144 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3145 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3146 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3147 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3148 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3149 [Steve Henson]
3150
3151 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3152 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3153 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3154 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3155 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3156 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3157 client side.
3158 [Andy Polyakov]
3159
3160 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3161
3162 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3163 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3164 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3165
3166 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3167 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3168 (CVE-2012-2110)
3169 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3170
3171 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3172 [Adam Langley]
3173
3174 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3175 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3176
3177 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3178 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3179 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3180 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3181 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3182 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3183 Most broken servers should now work.
3184 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3185 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3186 [Steve Henson]
3187
3188 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3189 [Andy Polyakov]
3190
3191 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3192
3193 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3194 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3195 [Steve Henson]
3196
3197 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3198 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3199 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3200 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3201 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3202 [Steve Henson]
3203
3204 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3205 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3206 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3207 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3208 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3209 [Steve Henson]
3210
3211 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3212 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3213
3214 *) Add support for SCTP.
3215 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3216
3217 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3218 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3219
3220 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3221
3222 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3223 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3224 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3225 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3226 - s390x: z196 support;
3227 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3228
3229 [Andy Polyakov]
3230
3231 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3232 (removal of unnecessary code)
3233 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3234
3235 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3236 [Eric Rescorla]
3237
3238 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3239 [Eric Rescorla]
3240
3241 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3242 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3243 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3244 by Google.
3245 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3246
3247 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3248 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3249 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3250 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3251 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3252
3253 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3254 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3255 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3256
3257 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3258 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3259 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3260
3261 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3262 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3263 implementations).
3264 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3265
3266 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3267 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3268 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3269 [Steve Henson]
3270
3271 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3272 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3273 particular PSS.
3274 [Steve Henson]
3275
3276 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3277 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3278 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3279 [Steve Henson]
3280
3281 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3282 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3283 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3284 the appropriate parameters.
3285 [Steve Henson]
3286
3287 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3288 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3289 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3290 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3291 against a number of sample certificates.
3292 [Steve Henson]
3293
3294 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3295 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3296
3297 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3298 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3299
3300 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3301 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3302 parameters r, s.
3303 [Steve Henson]
3304
3305 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3306 RFC3211.
3307 [Steve Henson]
3308
3309 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3310 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3311 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3312 password based CMS).
3313 [Steve Henson]
3314
3315 *) Session-handling fixes:
3316 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3317 but also support Session Tickets.
3318 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3319 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3320 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3321 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3322 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3323 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3324
3325 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3326 [Bodo Moeller]
3327
3328 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3329
3330 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3331 [Andy Polyakov]
3332
3333 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3334 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3335 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3336 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3337 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3338 [Steve Henson]
3339
3340 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3341 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3342 [Steve Henson]
3343
3344 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3345 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3346 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3347 [Steve Henson]
3348
3349 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3350 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3351 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3352 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3353 [Steve Henson]
3354
3355 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3356 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3357 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3358 [Steve Henson]
3359
3360 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3361 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3362
3363 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3364 [Steve Henson]
3365
3366 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3367 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3368 [Steve Henson]
3369
3370 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3371 [Steve Henson]
3372
3373 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3374 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3375 [Steve Henson]
3376
3377 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3378 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3379 [Steve Henson]
3380
3381 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3382 [Steve Henson]
3383
3384 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3385 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3386 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3387 [Steve Henson]
3388
3389 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3390 [Steve Henson]
3391
3392 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3393 [Steve Henson]
3394
3395 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3396 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3397 [Steve Henson]
3398
3399 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3400 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3401 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3402 [Steve Henson]
3403
3404 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3405 [Steve Henson]
3406
3407 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3408 and enable MD5.
3409 [Steve Henson]
3410
3411 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3412 FIPS modules versions.
3413 [Steve Henson]
3414
3415 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3416 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3417 until after the certificate request message is received.
3418 [Steve Henson]
3419
3420 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3421 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3422 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3423 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3424 [Steve Henson]
3425
3426 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3427 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3428 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3429 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3430 [Steve Henson]
3431
3432 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3433 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3434 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3435 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3436 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3437 and version checking.
3438 [Steve Henson]
3439
3440 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3441 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3442 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3443 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3444 [Steve Henson]
3445
3446 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
3447 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
3448 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
3449 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
3450 Ben Laurie]
3451
3452 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3453 [Steve Henson]
3454
3455 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3456 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3457 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3458
3459 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3460 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3461 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3462 [Steve Henson]
3463
3464 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3465 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3466
3467 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3468 a few changes are required:
3469
3470 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3471 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3472 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3473 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3474 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3475 [Steve Henson]
3476
3477 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3478
3479 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3480 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3481 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3482 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3483 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3484 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3485 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3486 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3487 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3488 [Steve Henson]
3489
3490 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3491 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3492 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3493 [Steve Henson]
3494
3495 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3496
3497 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3498 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3499 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3500 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3501 [Antonio Martin]
3502
3503 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3504
3505 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3506 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3507 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3508 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3509 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3510 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3511 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3512 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3513 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3514 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3515 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3516 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3517 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3518
3519 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3520 (CVE-2011-4576)
3521 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3522
3523 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3524 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3525 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3526 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3527
3528 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3529 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3530
3531 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3532 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3533 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3534 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3535
3536 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3537 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3538
3539 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3540 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3541
3542 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3543 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3544
3545 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3546 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3547 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3548
3549 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3550 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3551 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3552
3553 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3554 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3555 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3556 the last update always remained unused).
3557 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3558
3559 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3560 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3561
3562 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3563
3564 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3565 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3566 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3567
3568 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3569 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3570 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3571
3572 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3573 [Bodo Moeller]
3574
3575 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3576 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3577 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3578 [Steve Henson]
3579
3580 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3581 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3582
3583 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3584
3585 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3586
3587 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3588
3589 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3590 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3591
3592 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3593 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3594 ambiguous.
3595 [Steve Henson]
3596
3597 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3598
3599 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3600 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3601 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3602 [Steve Henson]
3603
3604 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3605 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3606 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3607 [Ben Laurie]
3608
3609 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3610
3611 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3612 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3613 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3614 [Steve Henson]
3615
3616 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3617 a DLL.
3618 [Steve Henson]
3619
3620 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3621
3622 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3623 (CVE-2010-1633)
3624 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3625
3626 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3627
3628 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3629 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3630 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3631 [Steve Henson]
3632
3633 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3634 [Steve Henson]
3635
3636 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3637 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3638 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3639
3640 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3641 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3642 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3643 [Steve Henson]
3644
3645 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3646 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3647 [Steve Henson]
3648
3649 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3650 some responders need this.
3651 [Steve Henson]
3652
3653 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3654 correctly.
3655 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3656
3657 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3658 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3659 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3660 [Steve Henson]
3661
3662 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3663 [Steve Henson]
3664
3665 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3666 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3667 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3668 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3669 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3670 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3671 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3672 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3673 [Steve Henson]
3674
3675 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3676 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3677 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3678 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3679
3680 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3681 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3682
3683 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3684 be used on C++.
3685 [Steve Henson]
3686
3687 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3688 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3689 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3690 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3691 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3692 attempting to work them out.
3693 [Steve Henson]
3694
3695 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3696 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3697 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3698 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3699 [Steve Henson]
3700
3701 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3702 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3703 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3704 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3705 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3706 [Steve Henson]
3707
3708 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3709 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3710 you can do:
3711
3712 openssl sha256 foo
3713
3714 as well as:
3715
3716 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3717
3718 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3719
3720 [Steve Henson]
3721
3722 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3723 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3724
3725 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3726 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3727
3728 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3729 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3730 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3731 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3732 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3733 [Steve Henson]
3734
3735 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3736 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3737 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3738 [Steve Henson]
3739
3740 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3741 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3742 [Steve Henson]
3743
3744 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3745 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3746
3747 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3748 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3749 [Steve Henson]
3750
3751 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3752 [Ben Laurie]
3753
3754 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3755 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3756 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3757 CONF_VALUE.
3758 [Ben Laurie]
3759
3760 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3761 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3762 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3763 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3764 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3765 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3766 [Steve Henson]
3767
3768 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3769 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3770
3771 This work was sponsored by Google.
3772 [Steve Henson]
3773
3774 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3775 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3776 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3777 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3778 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3779 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3780 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3781 default.
3782
3783 This work was sponsored by Google.
3784 [Steve Henson]
3785
3786 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3787
3788 This work was sponsored by Google.
3789 [Steve Henson]
3790
3791 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3792 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3793 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3794 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3795
3796 This work was sponsored by Google.
3797 [Steve Henson]
3798
3799 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3800 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3801 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3802 CRL functionality in future.
3803
3804 This work was sponsored by Google.
3805 [Steve Henson]
3806
3807 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3808
3809 This work was sponsored by Google.
3810 [Steve Henson]
3811
3812 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3813 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3814
3815 This work was sponsored by Google.
3816 [Steve Henson]
3817
3818 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3819 and URI types are currently supported.
3820
3821 This work was sponsored by Google.
3822 [Steve Henson]
3823
3824 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3825 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3826 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3827 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3828 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3829 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3830 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3831 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3832
3833 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3834 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3835 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3836
3837 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3838 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3839 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3840 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3841
3842 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3843 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3844 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3845 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3846 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3847 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3848 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3849 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3850 of &errno.)
3851 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3852
3853 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3854 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3855 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3856
3857 This work was sponsored by Google.
3858 [Steve Henson]
3859
3860 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3861 [Ben Laurie]
3862
3863 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3864 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3865 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3866 [Ben Laurie]
3867
3868 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3869 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3870 [Nick Mathewson]
3871
3872 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3873 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3874 [Ben Laurie]
3875
3876 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3877 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3878 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3879 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3880 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3881 content types and variants.
3882 [Steve Henson]
3883
3884 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3885 [Steve Henson]
3886
3887 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3888 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3889 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3890 files from the associated perl scripts.
3891 [Steve Henson]
3892
3893 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3894 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3895 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3896
3897 *) s390x assembler pack.
3898 [Andy Polyakov]
3899
3900 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3901 "family."
3902 [Andy Polyakov]
3903
3904 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3905 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3906 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3907 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3908 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3909 to use. For example, specify an option
3910
3911 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3912
3913 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3914 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3915 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3916 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3917 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3918 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3919
3920 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3921 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3922 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3923 return non-zero for success.
3924
3925 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3926 by using
3927
3928 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3929 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3930
3931 where
3932
3933 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3934 void *arg;
3935
3936 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3937 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3938 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3939 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3940 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3941 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3942 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3943 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3944 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3945
3946 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3947 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3948 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3949 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3950 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3951 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3952
3953 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3954 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3955 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3956 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3957 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3958 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3959
3960 [Bodo Moeller]
3961
3962 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3963 MAC.
3964
3965 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3966
3967 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3968 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3969 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3970 supported.
3971
3972 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3973 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3974 SSL_SESSION.
3975
3976 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3977 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3978 with no application modification.
3979
3980 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3981 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3982
3983 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3984 or server extensions to be examined.
3985
3986 This work was sponsored by Google.
3987 [Steve Henson]
3988
3989 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3990 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3991 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3992
3993 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3994 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3995 ciphersuite support.
3996 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3997
3998 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3999 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4000 to output in BER and PEM format.
4001 [Steve Henson]
4002
4003 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4004 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4005 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4006 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4007 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4008 [Steve Henson]
4009
4010 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4011 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4012 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4013 utility.
4014 [Steve Henson]
4015
4016 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4017 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4018 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4019 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4020 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4021 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4022 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4023 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4024 enabled again.
4025
4026 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4027 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4028 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4029 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4030
4031 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4032 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4033 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4034 the default order.
4035 [Bodo Moeller]
4036
4037 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4038 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4039 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4040 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4041 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4042 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4043 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4044 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4045 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4046
4047 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4048 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4049 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4050 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4051 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4052 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4053 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4054 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4055 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4056 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4057 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4058 kinds of kludges.
4059
4060 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4061 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4062 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4063
4064 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4065 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4066 "CAMELLIA256".
4067 [Bodo Moeller]
4068
4069 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4070 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4071 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4072 [Nils Larsch]
4073
4074 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4075 it yet and it is largely untested.
4076 [Steve Henson]
4077
4078 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4079 [Nils Larsch]
4080
4081 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4082 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4083 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4084 [Steve Henson]
4085
4086 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4087 [Andy Polyakov]
4088
4089 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4090 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4091 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4092 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4093 [Steve Henson]
4094
4095 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4096 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4097 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4098 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4099 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4100 [Steve Henson]
4101
4102 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4103 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4104 [Cryptocom]
4105
4106 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4107 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4108 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4109 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4110 [Steve Henson]
4111
4112 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4113 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4114 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4115 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4116 [Steve Henson]
4117
4118 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4119 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4120 [Steve Henson]
4121
4122 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4123 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4124 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4125 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4126 [Steve Henson]
4127
4128 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4129 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4130 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4131 [Steve Henson]
4132
4133 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4134 utility.
4135 [Steve Henson]
4136
4137 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4138 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4139 [Steve Henson]
4140
4141 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4142 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4143 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4144 if necessary.
4145 [Steve Henson]
4146
4147 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4148 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4149 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4150 [Steve Henson]
4151
4152 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4153 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4154 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4155 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4156 [Steve Henson]
4157
4158 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4159 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4160 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4161 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4162 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4163 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4164 [Douglas Stebila]
4165
4166 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4167 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4168 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4169 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4170 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4171
4172 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4173 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4174 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4175 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4176 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4177 protocol).
4178
4179 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4180 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4181 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4182 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4183
4184 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4185 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4186 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4187 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4188 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4189
4190 aECDH - ECDH cert
4191 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4192 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4193
4194 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4195 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4196
4197 [Bodo Moeller]
4198
4199 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4200 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4201 [Steve Henson]
4202
4203 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4204 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4205 [Steve Henson]
4206
4207 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4208 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4209 functional reference processing.
4210 [Steve Henson]
4211
4212 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4213 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4214 process.
4215 [Steve Henson]
4216
4217 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4218 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4219 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4220 [Steve Henson]
4221
4222 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4223 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4224 application to support multiple signers.
4225 [Steve Henson]
4226
4227 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4228 digest MAC.
4229 [Steve Henson]
4230
4231 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4232 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4233 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4234 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4235 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4236 [Steve Henson]
4237
4238 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4239 new API.
4240 [Steve Henson]
4241
4242 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4243 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4244 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4245 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4246 a no op.
4247 [Steve Henson]
4248
4249 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4250 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4251 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4252 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4253 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4254 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4255 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4256 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4257 [Steve Henson]
4258
4259 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4260 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4261 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4262 between digests and public key types.
4263 [Steve Henson]
4264
4265 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4266 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4267 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4268 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4269 [Steve Henson]
4270
4271 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4272 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4273 key ASN1 method.
4274 [Steve Henson]
4275
4276 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4277 [Steve Henson]
4278
4279 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4280 pkeyutl.
4281 [Steve Henson]
4282
4283 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4284 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4285 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4286 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4287 pkey, genpkey.
4288 [Steve Henson]
4289
4290 *) BeOS support.
4291 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4292
4293 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4294 manual pages.
4295 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4296
4297 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4298 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4299 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4300 functionality for RSA.
4301 [Steve Henson]
4302
4303 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4304 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4305 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4306 [Steve Henson]
4307
4308 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4309 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4310 [Steve Henson]
4311
4312 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4313 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4314 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4315 [Steve Henson]
4316
4317 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4318 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4319 [Douglas Stebila]
4320
4321 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4322 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4323 [Steve Henson]
4324
4325 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4326 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4327 type.
4328 [Steve Henson]
4329
4330 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4331 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4332 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4333 structure.
4334 [Steve Henson]
4335
4336 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4337 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4338 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4339 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4340 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4341 of public and private key structures.
4342 [Steve Henson]
4343
4344 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4345 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4346 [Douglas Stebila]
4347
4348 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4349 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4350 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4351
4352 New ciphersuites:
4353 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4354 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4355
4356 New functions:
4357 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4358 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4359 SSL_get_psk_identity
4360 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4361
4362 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4363
4364 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4365 and response verification functionality.
4366 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4367
4368 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4369 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4370 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4371 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4372 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4373 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4374 server_name extension.
4375
4376 New functions (subject to change):
4377
4378 SSL_get_servername()
4379 SSL_get_servername_type()
4380 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4381
4382 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4383
4384 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4385 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4386 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4387 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4388 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4389
4390 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4391
4392 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4393 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4394 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4395 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4396 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4397 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4398 option.
4399
4400 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4401
4402 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4403 [Andy Polyakov]
4404
4405 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4406 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4407 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4408 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4409 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4410 [Andy Polyakov]
4411
4412 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4413 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4414 macro.
4415 [Bodo Moeller]
4416
4417 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4418 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4419 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4420 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4421 [Andy Polyakov]
4422
4423 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4424 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4425 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4426 using the maximum available value.
4427 [Steve Henson]
4428
4429 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4430 in addition to the text details.
4431 [Bodo Moeller]
4432
4433 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4434 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4435 handle several customised structures at all.
4436 [Steve Henson]
4437
4438 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4439 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4440 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4441 [Steve Henson]
4442
4443 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4444 [Steve Henson]
4445
4446 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4447 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4448 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4449 [Steve Henson]
4450
4451 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4452 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4453 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4454 [Nils Larsch]
4455
4456 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4457 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4458 all fields.
4459 [Steve Henson]
4460
4461 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4462 [Steve Henson]
4463
4464 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4465 [NTT]
4466
4467 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4468
4469 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4470 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4471 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4472 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4473 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4474 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4475 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4476 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4477
4478 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4479 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4480 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4481
4482 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4483
4484 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4485 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4486
4487 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4488 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4489 [Bodo Moeller]
4490
4491 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4492 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4493 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4494 [Steve Henson]
4495
4496 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4497 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4498 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4499 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4500 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4501 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4502 [Steve Henson]
4503
4504 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4505 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4506 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4507 [Steve Henson]
4508
4509 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4510 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4511 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4512 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4513 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4514 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4515 CVE-2009-4355.
4516 [Steve Henson]
4517
4518 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4519 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4520 [Bodo Moeller]
4521
4522 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4523 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4524 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4525 [Steve Henson]
4526
4527 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4528 [Steve Henson]
4529
4530 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4531 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4532 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4533 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4534 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4535 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4536 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4537 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4538 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4539 [Steve Henson]
4540
4541 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4542 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4543 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4544 [Steve Henson]
4545
4546 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4547 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4548 [Steve Henson]
4549
4550 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4551 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4552 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4553 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4554 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4555 know what you are doing.
4556 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4557
4558 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4559 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4560 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4561 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4562 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4563 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4564 the handshake.
4565 [Steve Henson]
4566
4567 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4568 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4569 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4570 correctly.
4571 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4572
4573 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4574 warnings in other configurations.
4575 [Steve Henson]
4576
4577 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4578 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4579 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4580 systems need.
4581 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4582
4583 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4584 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4585 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4586
4587 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4588 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4589 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4590 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4591 [Steve Henson]
4592
4593 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4594 and restored.
4595 [Steve Henson]
4596
4597 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4598 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4599 clash.
4600 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4601
4602 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4603 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4604 other than a simple chain.
4605 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4606
4607 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4608 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4609 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4610 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4611 [Steve Henson]
4612
4613 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4614 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4615 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4616 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4617 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
4618 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4619 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4620 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4621 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4622
4623 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4624 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4625 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4626 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4627 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4628 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4629 (CVE-2009-1377)
4630 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4631
4632 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4633 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4634 [Daniel Mentz]
4635
4636 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4637 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4638
4639 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4640 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4641
4642 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4643
4644 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4645 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4646 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4647 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4648 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4649 you're doing.
4650 [Ben Laurie]
4651
4652 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4653
4654 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4655 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4656 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4657 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4658
4659 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4660 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4661 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4662 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4663
4664 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4665 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4666 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4667 [Steve Henson]
4668
4669 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4670 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4671 level.
4672 [Steve Henson]
4673
4674 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4675 to handle some structures.
4676 [Steve Henson]
4677
4678 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4679 for a '\n'
4680 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4681
4682 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4683 [Matthieu Herrb]
4684
4685 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4686 [Steve Henson]
4687
4688 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4689 [Steve Henson]
4690
4691 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4692 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4693 chosen compiler.
4694 [Ben Laurie]
4695
4696 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4697
4698 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4699 (CVE-2008-5077).
4700 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4701
4702 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4703 [Ben Laurie]
4704
4705 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4706 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4707 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4708 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4709
4710 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4711 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4712
4713 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4714 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4715 [Bodo Moeller]
4716
4717 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4718 s_client and s_server.
4719 [Ben Laurie]
4720
4721 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4722 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4723
4724 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4725 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4726
4727 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4728 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4729 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4730 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4731 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4732 [Bodo Moeller]
4733
4734 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4735
4736 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4737 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4738 [PR #1679]
4739
4740 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4741 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4742 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4743
4744 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4745 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4746 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4747 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4748
4749 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4750 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4751
4752 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4753
4754 *) Various precautionary measures:
4755
4756 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4757
4758 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4759 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4760 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4761
4762 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4763 outside the expected range.
4764
4765 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4766 builds.
4767
4768 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4769
4770 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4771 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4772 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4773
4774 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4775 [Steve Henson]
4776
4777 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4778 [Huang Ying]
4779
4780 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4781
4782 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4783 [Steve Henson]
4784
4785 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4786 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4787 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4788
4789 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4790 [Steve Henson]
4791
4792 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4793 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4794 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4795 files.
4796 [Steve Henson]
4797
4798 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4799
4800 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4801 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
4802 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4803 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4804
4805 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4806 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4807 [Joe Orton]
4808
4809 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4810
4811 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4812 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4813 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4814
4815 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4816
4817 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4818 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4819 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4820 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4821 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4822
4823 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4824 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4825 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4826 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4827 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4828 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4829 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4830
4831 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4832
4833 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4834 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4835 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4836 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4837 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4838
4839 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4840 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4841
4842 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4843 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4844 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4845 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4846 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4847
4848 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4849
4850 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4851 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4852 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4853 sets may exist with different names.
4854 [Steve Henson]
4855
4856 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4857 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4858 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4859 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4860 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4861 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4862 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4863 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4864 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4865 implementation.
4866 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4867
4868 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4869 implementation in the following ways:
4870
4871 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4872 hard coded.
4873
4874 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4875 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4876 ignored for embedded content.
4877
4878 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4879 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4880 [Steve Henson]
4881
4882 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4883 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4884 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4885 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4886
4887 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4888 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4889 [Steve Henson]
4890
4891 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4892 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4893 [Steve Henson]
4894
4895 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4896 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4897 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4898 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4899 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4900 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4901 data.
4902 [Steve Henson]
4903
4904 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4905 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4906 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4907
4908 *) Netware support:
4909
4910 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4911 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4912 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4913 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4914 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4915 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4916 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4917 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4918 platform
4919 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4920 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4921 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4922 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4923 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4924 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4925 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4926
4927 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4928 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4929 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4930 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4931 to s_client and s_server.
4932 [Steve Henson]
4933
4934 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4935
4936 *) Fix various bugs:
4937 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4938 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4939 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4940 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4941 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4942
4943 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4944
4945 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4946 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4947 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4948 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4949 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4950 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4951 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4952 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4953 [Andy Polyakov]
4954
4955 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4956 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4957 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4958 Steve Henson]
4959
4960 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4961 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4962 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4963 supported.
4964
4965 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4966 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4967 SSL_SESSION.
4968
4969 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4970 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4971 with no application modification.
4972
4973 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4974 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4975
4976 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4977 or server extensions to be examined.
4978
4979 This work was sponsored by Google.
4980 [Steve Henson]
4981
4982 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4983 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4984 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4985 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4986 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4987 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4988 server_name extension.
4989
4990 New functions (subject to change):
4991
4992 SSL_get_servername()
4993 SSL_get_servername_type()
4994 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4995
4996 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4997
4998 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4999 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5000 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5001 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5002 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5003
5004 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5005
5006 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5007 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5008 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5009 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5010 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5011 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5012 option.
5013
5014 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5015
5016 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5017 [Steve Henson]
5018
5019 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5020 [Andy Polyakov]
5021
5022 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5023 (which previously caused an internal error).
5024 [Bodo Moeller]
5025
5026 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5027 [Ben Laurie]
5028
5029 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5030 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5031
5032 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5033 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5034 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5035
5036 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5037 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5038 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5039 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5040
5041 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5042 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5043 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5044 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5045
5046 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5047 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5048 information. For detailed background information, see
5049 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5050 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5051 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5052 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5053 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5054 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5055 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5056 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5057 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5058 remove a conditional branch.
5059
5060 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5061 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5062 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5063 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5064 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5065 remains as a deprecated alias.
5066
5067 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5068 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5069 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5070 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5071
5072 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5073 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5074 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5075 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5076 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5077 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5078 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5079 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5080
5081 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5082
5083 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5084 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5085 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5086 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5087 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5088 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5089 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5090 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5091 in a different context.
5092 [Bodo Moeller]
5093
5094 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5095 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5096 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5097 [Bodo Moeller]
5098
5099 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5100 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5101 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5102
5103 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5104
5105 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5106 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5107 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5108 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5109 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5110 [Victor Duchovni]
5111
5112 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5113 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5114 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5115 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5116 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5117 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5118 [Bodo Moeller]
5119
5120 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5121 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5122 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5123 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5124 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5125 [Bodo Moeller]
5126
5127 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5128 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5129
5130 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5131 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5132 Improve header file function name parsing.
5133 [Steve Henson]
5134
5135 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5136 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5137 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5138
5139 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5140
5141 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5142 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5143 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5144
5145 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5146 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5147
5148 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5149 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5150
5151 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5152 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5153 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5154
5155 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5156 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5157 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5158 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5159 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5160 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5161 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5162 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5163 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5164
5165 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5166 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5167 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5168 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5169 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5170
5171 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5172 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5173 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5174 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5175 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5176 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5177 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5178 multiple values to extend the available space.
5179
5180 [Bodo Moeller]
5181
5182 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5183
5184 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5185 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5186
5187 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5188 [Ben Laurie]
5189
5190 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5191 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5192 undesirable limitations.
5193 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5194
5195 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5196 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5197 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5198 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5199 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5200 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5201 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5202 [Bodo Moeller]
5203
5204 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5205
5206 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5207 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5208 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5209
5210 The latter two were purportedly from
5211 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5212 appear there.
5213
5214 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5215 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5216 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5217 [Bodo Moeller]
5218
5219 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5220 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5221 [Bodo Moeller]
5222
5223 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5224 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5225 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5226 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5227
5228 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5229 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5230 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5231 [NTT]
5232
5233 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5234 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5235 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5236 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5237 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5238 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5239 [Steve Henson]
5240
5241 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5242
5243 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5244 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5245 [Steve Henson]
5246
5247 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5248 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5249
5250 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5251 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5252 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5253 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5254 [Douglas Stebila]
5255
5256 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5257 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5258 [Steve Henson]
5259
5260 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5261 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5262 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5263 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5264 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5265 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5266 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5267 can't be loaded.
5268 [Steve Henson]
5269
5270 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5271 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5272 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5273 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5274 [Steve Henson]
5275
5276 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5277 under VC++ build system.
5278 [Steve Henson]
5279
5280 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5281 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5282 [Richard Levitte]
5283
5284 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5285
5286 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5287 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5288 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5289 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5290 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5291
5292 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5293 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5294 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5295
5296 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5297 [Steve Henson]
5298
5299 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5300 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5301 [Nils Larsch]
5302
5303 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5304 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5305
5306 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5307 [Nick Mathewson]
5308
5309 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5310 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5311
5312 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5313 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5314 [Steve Henson]
5315
5316 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5317 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5318 smime utility.
5319 [Steve Henson]
5320
5321 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5322
5323 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5324 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5325
5326 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5327 [Richard Levitte]
5328
5329 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5330 key into the same file any more.
5331 [Richard Levitte]
5332
5333 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5334 [Andy Polyakov]
5335
5336 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5337 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5338
5339 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5340 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5341 [Richard Levitte]
5342
5343 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5344 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5345 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5346 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5347 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5348 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5349
5350 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5351 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5352 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5353 [Steve Henson]
5354
5355 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5356 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5357 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5358 - add new function for parameter creation
5359 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5360 BN_BLINDING parameters
5361 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5362 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5363 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5364 threads.
5365 [Nils Larsch]
5366
5367 *) Add support for DTLS.
5368 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5369
5370 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5371 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5372 [Walter Goulet]
5373
5374 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5375 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5376 [Nils Larsch]
5377
5378 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5379 the apps/openssl applications.
5380 [Nils Larsch]
5381
5382 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5383 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5384 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5385 [Ben Laurie]
5386
5387 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5388 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5389
5390 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5391 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5392
5393 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5394 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5395 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5396 avoid this algorithm.)
5397
5398 [Bodo Moeller]
5399
5400 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5401 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5402 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5403 [Richard Levitte]
5404
5405 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5406 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5407 [Andy Polyakov]
5408
5409 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5410 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5411 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5412 pod file:
5413
5414 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5415
5416 The blank line is mandatory.
5417
5418 [Steve Henson]
5419
5420 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5421 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5422 sources.
5423 [Steve Henson]
5424
5425 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5426 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5427
5428 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5429 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5430 to support policy checking and print out.
5431 [Steve Henson]
5432
5433 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5434 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5435 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5436 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5437
5438 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5439 [Geoff Thorpe]
5440
5441 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5442 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5443
5444 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5445 implementation contributed by IBM.
5446 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5447
5448 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5449 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5450 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5451 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5452
5453 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5454 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5455
5456 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5457 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5458 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5459 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5460 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5461 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5462 [Steve Henson]
5463
5464 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5465 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5466 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5467 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5468 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5469 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5470 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5471 [Geoff Thorpe]
5472
5473 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5474 [Steve Henson]
5475
5476 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5477 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5478 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5479 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5480 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5481 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5482 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5483 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5484 [Steve Henson]
5485
5486 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5487 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5488 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5489 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5490 [Steve Henson]
5491
5492 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5493 syntax:
5494
5495 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5496 [Steve Henson]
5497
5498 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5499 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5500 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5501 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5502 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5503 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5504 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5505 [Geoff Thorpe]
5506
5507 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5508 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5509 [Geoff Thorpe]
5510
5511 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5512 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5513 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5514 [Steve Henson]
5515
5516 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5517 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5518 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5519 below).
5520 [Geoff Thorpe]
5521
5522 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5523 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5524 [Richard Levitte]
5525
5526 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5527 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5528 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5529 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5530 [Geoff Thorpe]
5531
5532 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5533 initialised value as BN_new().
5534 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5535
5536 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5537 [Steve Henson]
5538
5539 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5540 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5541 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5542 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5543 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5544 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5545 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5546 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5547 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5548 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5549 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5550 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5551 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5552 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5553 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5554
5555 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5556 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5557 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5558 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5559 [Geoff Thorpe]
5560
5561 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5562 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5563 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5564 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5565 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5566 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5567 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5568 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5569 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5570 [Geoff Thorpe]
5571
5572 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5573 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5574 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5575 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5576 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5577 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5578 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5579 [Geoff Thorpe]
5580
5581 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5582 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5583 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5584 these have been updated also.
5585 [Geoff Thorpe]
5586
5587 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5588 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5589 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5590 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5591 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5592 functions.
5593 [Steve Henson]
5594
5595 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5596 structure of type "other".
5597 [Steve Henson]
5598
5599 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5600 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5601 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5602 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5603 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5604 situation in the script.
5605 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5606
5607 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5608 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5609 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5610 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5611 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5612 used as premaster secret.
5613 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5614
5615 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5616 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5617 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5618
5619 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5620 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5621
5622 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5623 control of the error stack.
5624 [Richard Levitte]
5625
5626 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5627 [Richard Levitte]
5628
5629 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5630 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5631 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5632 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5633 [Richard Levitte]
5634
5635 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5636 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5637 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5638 [Richard Levitte]
5639
5640 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5641 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5642 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5643 a memory area.
5644 [Richard Levitte]
5645
5646 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5647 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5648 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5649 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5650 [Richard Levitte]
5651
5652 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5653 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5654 the following flags are defined:
5655
5656 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5657 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5658 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5659 number.
5660
5661 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5662 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5663 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5664 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5665 returns zero.
5666 [Richard Levitte]
5667
5668 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5669 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5670 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5671 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5672 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5673 [Richard Levitte]
5674
5675 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5676 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5677 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5678 [Richard Levitte]
5679
5680 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5681 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5682 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5683 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5684 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5685 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5686 [Richard Levitte]
5687
5688 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5689 req and dirName.
5690 [Steve Henson]
5691
5692 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5693 [Steve Henson]
5694
5695 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5696 [Steve Henson]
5697
5698 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5699 [Steve Henson]
5700
5701 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5702 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5703 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5704 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5705 default implementation more easily.
5706 [Geoff Thorpe]
5707
5708 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5709 in config files.
5710 [Steve Henson]
5711
5712 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5713 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5714 [Richard Levitte]
5715
5716 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5717 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5718 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5719 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5720
5721 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5722 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5723 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5724 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5725 [Steve Henson]
5726
5727 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5728 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5729 to do it.
5730 [Richard Levitte]
5731
5732 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5733 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5734 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5735 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5736 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5737 scalar * generator).
5738 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5739
5740 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5741 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5742 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5743 correctly.
5744 [Steve Henson]
5745
5746 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5747 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5748 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5749 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5750 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5751 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5752 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5753 linker additions, eg;
5754 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5755 [Geoff Thorpe]
5756
5757 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5758 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5759 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5760 [Geoff Thorpe]
5761
5762 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5763 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5764 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5765 via PR#459)
5766 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5767
5768 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5769 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5770 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5771 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5772 [Geoff Thorpe]
5773
5774 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5775 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5776 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5777 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5778 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5779 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5780 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5781 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5782 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5783 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5784
5785 Example for using the new callback interface:
5786
5787 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5788 void *my_arg = ...;
5789 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5790
5791 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5792
5793 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5794 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5795 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5796 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5797 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5798 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5799 */
5800
5801 [Geoff Thorpe]
5802
5803 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5804 available to TLS with the number defined in
5805 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5806 [Richard Levitte]
5807
5808 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5809 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5810
5811 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5812 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5813 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5814 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5815
5816 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5817 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5818
5819 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5820 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5821 well.
5822 [Richard Levitte]
5823
5824 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5825 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5826 [Richard Levitte]
5827
5828 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5829 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5830 and a macro that behave like
5831 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5832
5833 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5834 [Nils Larsch]
5835
5836 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5837 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5838 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5839 if applicable.
5840 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5841
5842 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5843 [Bodo Moeller]
5844
5845 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5846 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5847 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5848 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5849 directory engines/.
5850 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5851 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5852 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5853 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5854 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5855 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5856 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5857 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5858
5859 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5860 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5861 [Richard Levitte]
5862
5863 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5864 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5865
5866 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5867 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5868 files while avoiding the low level API.
5869
5870 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5871 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5872 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5873 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5874
5875 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5876 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5877 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5878 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5879 instead of the low level API.
5880 [Steve Henson]
5881
5882 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5883 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5884 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5885 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5886 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5887 PKCS#7 code.
5888
5889 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5890 down to the template encoder.
5891 [Steve Henson]
5892
5893 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5894 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5895 [Bodo Moeller]
5896
5897 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5898 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5899 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5900 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5901
5902 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5903 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5904
5905 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5906 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5907
5908 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5909 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5910 [Bodo Moeller]
5911
5912 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5913 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5914 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5915 [Bodo Moeller]
5916
5917 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5918 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5919
5920 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5921 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5922
5923 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5924 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5925 New EC_METHOD:
5926
5927 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5928
5929 New API functions:
5930
5931 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5932 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5933 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5934 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5935 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5936 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5937
5938 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5939 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5940 enable it).
5941
5942 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5943 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5944 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5945 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5946 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5947 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5948 various internal method names.)
5949
5950 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5951 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5952
5953 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5954 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5955
5956 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5957 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5958
5959 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5960 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5961 methods are undefined.
5962
5963 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5964 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5965
5966 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5967 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5968 length of the modulus.
5969
5970 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5971 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5972
5973 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5974 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5975
5976 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5977 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5978
5979 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5980 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5981 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5982
5983 BN_GF2m_add
5984 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5985 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5986 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5987 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5988 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5989 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5990 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5991 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5992 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5993
5994 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5995 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5996
5997 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5998 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5999 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6000 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6001 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6002 where
6003 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6004 This applies to the following functions:
6005
6006 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6007 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6008 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6009 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6010 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6011 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6012 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6013 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6014 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6015 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6016
6017 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6018
6019 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6020 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6021
6022 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6023
6024 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6025 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6026 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6027 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6028 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6029
6030 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6031 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6032
6033 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6034 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6035 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6036
6037 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6038 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6039
6040 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6041 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6042 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6043 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6044 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6045
6046 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6047 functions
6048 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6049 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6050 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6051 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6052 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6053 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6054 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6055 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6056 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6057 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6058 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6059 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6060
6061 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6062 functions
6063 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6064 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6065 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6066 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6067 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6068
6069 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6070 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6071 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6072 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6073
6074 *) Add functions
6075 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6076 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6077 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6078 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6079 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6080 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6081 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6082
6083 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6084 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6085 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6086 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6087 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6088 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6089 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6090 adding different types of curves.
6091 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6092
6093 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6094 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6095 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6096 [Bodo Moeller]
6097
6098 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6099 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6100
6101 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6102 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6103 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6104 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6105
6106 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6107
6108 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6109 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6110
6111 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6112 library. Most notably,
6113 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6114 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6115 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6116 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6117 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6118 extracted before the specific public key;
6119 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6120 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6121
6122 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6123 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6124 function
6125 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6126 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6127 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6128 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6129 accessed via
6130 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6131 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6132 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6133
6134 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6135 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6136 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6137 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6138 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6139 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6140 differing sizes.
6141 [Richard Levitte]
6142
6143 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6144
6145 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6146 sensitive data.
6147 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6148
6149 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6150 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6151 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6152 [Bodo Moeller]
6153
6154 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6155 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6156 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6157 [Victor Duchovni]
6158
6159 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6160 [Steve Henson]
6161
6162 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6163 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6164 [Steve Henson]
6165
6166 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6167 run algorithm test programs.
6168 [Steve Henson]
6169
6170 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6171 [Steve Henson]
6172
6173 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6174 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6175 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6176 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6177 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6178 [Bodo Moeller]
6179
6180 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6181 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6182 [Steve Henson]
6183
6184 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6185
6186 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6187 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6188 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6189
6190 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6191 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6192
6193 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6194 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6195
6196 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6197 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6198 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6199
6200 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6201 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6202 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6203 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6204 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6205 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6206 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6207 [Bodo Moeller]
6208
6209 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6210
6211 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6212 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6213
6214 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6215 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6216 undesirable limitations.
6217 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6218
6219 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6220
6221 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6222 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6223 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6224
6225 The latter two were purportedly from
6226 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6227 appear there.
6228
6229 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6230 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6231 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6232 [Bodo Moeller]
6233
6234 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6235 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6236 [Bodo Moeller]
6237
6238 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6239
6240 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6241 module in FIPS mode.
6242 [Steve Henson]
6243
6244 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6245 [Steve Henson]
6246
6247 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6248 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6249 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6250 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6251 [Steve Henson]
6252
6253 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6254
6255 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6256 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6257 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6258 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6259 the difference induced by this change.
6260 [Andy Polyakov]
6261
6262 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6263
6264 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6265 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6266 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6267 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6268 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6269
6270 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6271 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6272 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6273
6274 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6275 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6276 [Steve Henson]
6277
6278 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6279 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6280 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6281 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6282 biased k.)
6283 [Bodo Moeller]
6284
6285 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6286 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6287 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6288 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6289 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6290
6291 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6292 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6293 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6294 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6295 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6296 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6297
6298 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6299
6300 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6301 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6302 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6303 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6304 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6305 [Bodo Moeller]
6306
6307 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6308 clients need.
6309 [Steve Henson]
6310
6311 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6312 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6313 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6314 [Steve Henson]
6315
6316 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6317 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6318 structures constant.
6319 [Steve Henson]
6320
6321 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6322
6323 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6324 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6325
6326 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6327 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6328 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6329 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6330 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6331 some needed definitions.
6332 [Steve Henson]
6333
6334 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6335 [Ulf Möller]
6336
6337 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6338 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6339 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6340 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6341 [Richard Levitte]
6342
6343 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6344
6345 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6346 server and client random values. Previously
6347 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6348 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6349
6350 This change has negligible security impact because:
6351
6352 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6353 data.
6354
6355 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6356 handshake.
6357
6358 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6359 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6360 values.
6361
6362 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6363 to our attention.
6364
6365 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6366
6367 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6368 [Ulf Möller]
6369
6370 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6371 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6372 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6373
6374 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6375 [Steve Henson]
6376
6377 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6378 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6379 [Andy Polyakov]
6380
6381 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6382 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6383 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6384
6385 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6386 [Steve Henson]
6387
6388 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6389 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6390 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6391 certificates.
6392 [Steve Henson]
6393
6394 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6395 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6396 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6397 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6398
6399 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6400 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6401 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6402 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6403 been given)
6404 [Richard Levitte]
6405
6406 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6407
6408 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6409 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6410 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6411 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6412 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6413 [Steve Henson]
6414
6415 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6416 [Steve Henson]
6417
6418 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6419 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6420
6421 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6422 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6423 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6424 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6425 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6426 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6427 rather than being initialized to 1.
6428 [Steve Henson]
6429
6430 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6431
6432 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6433 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6434 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6435
6436 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6437 (CVE-2004-0112)
6438 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6439
6440 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6441 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6442 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6443 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6444 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6445 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6446 [Richard Levitte]
6447
6448 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6449 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6450 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6451 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6452 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6453 for these cases.
6454 [Steve Henson]
6455
6456 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6457 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6458 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6459 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6460 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6461 [Steve Henson]
6462
6463 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6464 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6465 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6466 < 0.9.7.
6467 [Steve Henson]
6468
6469 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6470 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6471
6472 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6473 [Steve Henson]
6474
6475 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6476
6477 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6478
6479 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6480 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6481
6482 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6483
6484 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6485 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6486
6487 [Steve Henson]
6488
6489 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6490 exiting on the first error in a request.
6491 [Steve Henson]
6492
6493 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6494 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6495 specifications.
6496 [Steve Henson]
6497
6498 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6499 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6500 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6501 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6502
6503 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6504 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6505 [Richard Levitte]
6506
6507 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6508 blocks during encryption.
6509 [Richard Levitte]
6510
6511 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6512 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6513 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6514 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6515 certain size.
6516 [Steve Henson]
6517
6518 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6519 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6520 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6521 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6522 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6523 parser.
6524 [Steve Henson]
6525
6526 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6527
6528 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6529 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6530 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6531 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6532 [Bodo Moeller]
6533
6534 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6535 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6536 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6537 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6538 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6539
6540 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6541 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6542 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6543 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6544 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6545 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6546 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6547 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6548 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6549 [Bodo Moeller]
6550
6551 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6552 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6553 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6554 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6555 [Geoff Thorpe]
6556
6557 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6558 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6559 [Ulf Moeller]
6560
6561 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6562
6563 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6564 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6565 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6566 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6567 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6568
6569 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6570 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6571 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6572
6573 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6574 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6575 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6576 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6577 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6578
6579 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6580 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6581 used by default when no-err is given.
6582 [Richard Levitte]
6583
6584 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6585 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6586
6587 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6588 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6589 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6590 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6591 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6592
6593 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6594 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6595 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6596 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6597
6598 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6599
6600 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6601
6602 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6603
6604 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6605 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6606 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6607 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6608 root is omitted).
6609 [Steve Henson]
6610
6611 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6612 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6613
6614 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6615 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6616 [Steve Henson]
6617
6618 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6619 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6620 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6621 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6622 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6623
6624 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6625 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6626 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6627 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6628 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6629 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6630 followup to PR #377.
6631 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6632
6633 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6634 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6635 [Andy Polyakov]
6636
6637 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6638 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6639 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6640 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6641
6642 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6643
6644 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6645 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6646
6647 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6648 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6649 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6650 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6651 client and server.
6652 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6653 PR #377.
6654 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6655
6656 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6657 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6658 removed entirely.
6659 [Richard Levitte]
6660
6661 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6662 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6663 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6664 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6665 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6666 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6667 of libcrypto.
6668 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6669 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6670 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6671 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6672 have to be made anyway).
6673 [Richard Levitte]
6674
6675 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6676 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6677 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6678 [Steve Henson]
6679
6680 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6681 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6682 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6683 [Richard Levitte]
6684
6685 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6686 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6687 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6688
6689 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6690 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6691 edit numbers of the version.
6692 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6693
6694 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6695 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6696 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6697
6698 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6699 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6700
6701 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6702 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6703 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6704
6705 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6706 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6707
6708 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6709 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6710
6711 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6712 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6713
6714 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6715 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6716
6717 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6718 overflows.
6719 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6720
6721 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6722 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6723 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6724
6725 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6726 representations in a platform independent manner.
6727 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6728
6729 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6730 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6731 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6732
6733 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6734 indents.
6735 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6736
6737 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6738 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6739
6740 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6741 full. Fixed.
6742 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6743
6744 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6745 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6746 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6747
6748 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6749 unconditionally).
6750 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6751
6752 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6753 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6754
6755 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6756 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6757
6758 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6759 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6760
6761 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6762 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6763
6764 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6765 CBCParameter.
6766 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6767
6768 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6769 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6770
6771 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6772 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6773
6774 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6775 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6776 exploitable.
6777 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6778
6779 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6780 the 0.9.6 release series:
6781
6782 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6783 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6784 (CVE-2002-0657)
6785 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6786
6787 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6788 [Richard Levitte]
6789
6790 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6791 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6792
6793 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6794 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6795
6796 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6797 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6798 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6799 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6800
6801 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6802 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6803 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6804
6805 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6806 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6807 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6808 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6809
6810 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6811 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6812 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6813 some local tweaks:
6814
6815 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6816 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6817 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6818 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6819 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6820 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6821 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6822 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6823 done
6824
6825 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6826 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6827 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6828 [Richard Levitte]
6829
6830 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6831 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6832 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6833 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6834 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6835
6836 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6837 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6838
6839 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6840 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6841 [Richard Levitte]
6842
6843 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6844 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6845 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6846 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6847 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6848 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6849 [Steve Henson]
6850
6851 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6852 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6853 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6854 [Steve Henson]
6855
6856 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6857 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6858 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6859
6860 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6861 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6862 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6863 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6864 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6865 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6866 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6867 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6868
6869 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6870 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6871 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6872 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6873 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6874 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
6875 [Steve Henson]
6876
6877 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6878 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6879 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6880 declaration has been changed from
6881 int (*cb)()
6882 into
6883 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6884 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6885 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6886 has been changed into
6887 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6888
6889 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6890 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6891 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6892
6893 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6894 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6895
6896 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6897 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6898 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6899 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6900 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6901 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6902 always load it have also been added.
6903 [Steve Henson]
6904
6905 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6906 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6907 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6908
6909 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6910
6911 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6912 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6913 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6914
6915 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6916 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6917 command line option can be used to specify an
6918 alternative file.
6919 [Steve Henson]
6920
6921 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6922 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6923 [Steve Henson]
6924
6925 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6926 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6927 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6928 [Steve Henson]
6929
6930 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6931 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6932 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6933 to work with the new engine framework.
6934 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6935
6936 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6937 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6938 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6939 to work with the new engine framework.
6940 [Richard Levitte]
6941
6942 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6943 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6944 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6945
6946 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6947 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6948
6949 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6950 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6951 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6952 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6953 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6954 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6955
6956 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6957 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6958
6959 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6960 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6961
6962 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6963 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6964 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6965 [Ben Laurie]
6966
6967 *) Add new functions
6968 ERR_peek_last_error
6969 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6970 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6971 These are similar to
6972 ERR_peek_error
6973 ERR_peek_error_line
6974 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6975 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6976 still in the error queue.
6977 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6978
6979 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6980 like:
6981 default_algorithms = ALL
6982 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6983 [Steve Henson]
6984
6985 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6986 [Steve Henson]
6987
6988 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6989 [Steve Henson]
6990
6991 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6992 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6993 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6994 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6995
6996 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6997 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6998
6999 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7000 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7001
7002 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7003 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7004 [Bodo Moeller]
7005
7006 *) New functions/macros
7007
7008 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7009 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7010 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7011 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7012
7013 to request calling a callback function
7014
7015 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7016 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7017
7018 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7019 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7020 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7021 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7022 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7023 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7024 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7025 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7026 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7027 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7028
7029 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7030 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7031 [Bodo Moeller]
7032
7033 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7034 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7035 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7036 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7037 the configuration scripts.
7038
7039 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7040 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7041 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7042
7043 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7044 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7045
7046 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7047 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7048 when reusing an existing buffer.
7049 [Bodo Moeller]
7050
7051 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7052 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7053 [Steve Henson]
7054
7055 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7056 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7057 [Ben Laurie]
7058
7059 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7060 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7061 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7062 has the same effect.
7063 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7064
7065 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7066 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7067 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7068 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7069 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7070 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7071 exception.
7072
7073 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7074 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7075 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7076 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7077
7078 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7079 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7080 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7081 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7082
7083 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7084 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7085 won't work.
7086
7087 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7088 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7089 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7090 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7091 default), and then completely removed.
7092 [Richard Levitte]
7093
7094 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7095 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7096 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7097 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7098 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7099 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7100 particular extension is supported.
7101 [Steve Henson]
7102
7103 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7104 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7105 [Steve Henson]
7106
7107 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7108 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7109 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7110 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7111 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7112 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7113 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7114 requires the destination to be valid.
7115
7116 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7117 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7118 [Steve Henson]
7119
7120 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7121 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7122 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7123 [Bodo Moeller]
7124
7125 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7126 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7127
7128 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7129 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7130 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7131 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7132 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7133 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7134 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7135 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7136 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7137 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7138 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7139 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7140 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7141 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7142 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7143 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7144 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7145 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7146 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7147 the new code.
7148 [Geoff Thorpe]
7149
7150 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7151 [Steve Henson]
7152
7153 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7154 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7155 become part of libeay.num as well.
7156 [Richard Levitte]
7157
7158 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7159 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7160 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7161 false once a handshake has been completed.
7162 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7163 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7164 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7165 client has followed the request.)
7166 [Bodo Moeller]
7167
7168 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7169 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7170 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7171 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7172
7173 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7174 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7175 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7176 [Bodo Moeller]
7177
7178 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7179 [Steve Henson]
7180
7181 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7182 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7183 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7184 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7185
7186 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7187 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7188 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7189
7190 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7191 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7192 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7193 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7194 [Geoff Thorpe]
7195
7196 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7197 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7198 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7199 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7200 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7201 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7202 [Geoff Thorpe]
7203
7204 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7205 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7206 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7207 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7208 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7209 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7210 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7211 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7212 [Geoff Thorpe]
7213
7214 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7215 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7216 [Geoff Thorpe]
7217
7218 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7219 [Ben Laurie]
7220
7221 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7222 md_data void pointer.
7223 [Ben Laurie]
7224
7225 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7226 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7227 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7228 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7229 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7230 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7231 [Ben Laurie]
7232
7233 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7234 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7235 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7236 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7237 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7238 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7239 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7240 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7241 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7242 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7243 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7244 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7245 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7246 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7247 rather than letting it slide.
7248
7249 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7250 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7251 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7252 [Geoff Thorpe]
7253
7254 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7255 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7256 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7257 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7258 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7259 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7260 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7261 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7262 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7263 [Geoff Thorpe]
7264
7265 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7266 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7267 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7268 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7269 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7270
7271 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7272 [Geoff Thorpe]
7273
7274 *) Add EVP test program.
7275 [Ben Laurie]
7276
7277 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7278 [Ben Laurie]
7279
7280 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7281 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7282 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7283 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7284 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7285 [Steve Henson]
7286
7287 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7288 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7289 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7290 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7291 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7292 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7293 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7294
7295 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7296 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7297 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7298 Usage example:
7299
7300 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7301
7302 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7303 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7304 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7305 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7306 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7307
7308 [Ben Laurie]
7309
7310 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7311 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7312 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7313 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7314 anyway): E.g.,
7315
7316 des_key_schedule ks;
7317
7318 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7319 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7320
7321 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7322 [Ben Laurie]
7323
7324 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7325 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7326 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7327 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7328 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7329 functions prevents this.
7330 [Steve Henson]
7331
7332 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7333 [Ben Laurie]
7334
7335 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7336 correct _ecb suffix.
7337 [Ben Laurie]
7338
7339 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7340 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7341 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7342 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7343 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7344 [Steve Henson]
7345
7346 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7347 [Richard Levitte]
7348
7349 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7350 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7351 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7352 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7353
7354 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7355 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7356
7357 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7358 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7359 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7360 via Richard Levitte]
7361
7362 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7363 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7364 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7365 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7366 [Geoff Thorpe]
7367
7368 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7369 Before:
7370 encrypt
7371 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7372 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
7373 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

7378 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
7379 After:

7381 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
7382 decrypt
7383 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
7384 [Ben Laurie]
7385
7386 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7387 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7388
7389 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7390 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7391 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7392 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7393 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7394 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7395 [Steve Henson]
7396
7397 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7398 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7399 [Richard Levitte]
7400
7401 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7402 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7403 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7404 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7405
7406 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7407 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7408 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7409 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7410 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7411 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7412 callback.
7413 [Richard Levitte]
7414
7415 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7416 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7417 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7418 and interrupts/cancellations.
7419 [Richard Levitte]
7420
7421 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7422 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7423 [Steve Henson]
7424
7425 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7426 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7427 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7428
7429 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7430 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7431 kind of callback.
7432 [Richard Levitte]
7433
7434 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7435 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7436 than this minimum value is recommended.
7437 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7438
7439 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7440 that are easily reachable.
7441 [Richard Levitte]
7442
7443 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7444 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7445
7446 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7447
7448 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7449 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7450 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7451 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7452 [Steve Henson]
7453
7454 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7455 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7456 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7457 [Steve Henson]
7458
7459 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7460 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7461 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7462 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7463 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7464 internally such as S/MIME.
7465
7466 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7467 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7468 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7469
7470 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7471 applications.
7472 [Steve Henson]
7473
7474 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7475 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7476 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7477 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7478
7479 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7480
7481 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7482
7483 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7484 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7485 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7486 handling.
7487 [Steve Henson]
7488
7489 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7490 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7491 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7492 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7493 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7494 a window system and the like.
7495 [Richard Levitte]
7496
7497 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7498 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7499 [Geoff]
7500
7501 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7502 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7503 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7504 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7505 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7506 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7507 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7508 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7509 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7510 ENGINE structure.
7511 [Geoff]
7512
7513 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7514 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7515 tag cache.
7516 [Steve Henson]
7517
7518 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7519 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7520 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7521 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7522 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7523 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7524 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7525 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7526 [Geoff]
7527
7528 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7529 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7530 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7531 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7532 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7533 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7534 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7535 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7536 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7537 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7538 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7539 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7540 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7541 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7542 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7543 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7544 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7545 [Geoff]
7546
7547 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7548 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7549 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7550 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7551 internal engine_int.h header.
7552 [Geoff]
7553
7554 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7555 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7556 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7557 modify their own ones).
7558 [Geoff]
7559
7560 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7561 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7562 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7563 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7564 later on via ctrl() commands.
7565 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7566 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7567 structural references.
7568 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7569 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7570 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7571 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7572 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7573 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7574 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7575 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7576 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7577 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7578 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7579 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7580 [Geoff]
7581
7582 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7583 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7584 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7585 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7586 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7587 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7588 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7589 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7590 [Bodo Moeller]
7591
7592 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7593 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7594 [Steve Henson]
7595
7596 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7597 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7598 [Steve Henson]
7599
7600 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7601 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7602 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7603 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7604 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7605 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7606 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7607 [Steve Henson]
7608
7609 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7610 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7611 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7612 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7613 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7614
7615 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7616 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7617 generator).
7618 [Bodo Moeller]
7619
7620 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7621
7622 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7623 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7624 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7625
7626 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7627 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7628
7629 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7630 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7631 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7632
7633 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7634 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7635
7636 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7637 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7638
7639 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7640
7641 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7642 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7643 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7644 [Bodo Moeller]
7645
7646 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7647 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7648 [Richard Levitte]
7649
7650 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7651 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7652 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7653 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7654 is 40 of more characters long.
7655 [Steve Henson]
7656
7657 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7658 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7659 pointers.
7660 [Steve Henson]
7661
7662 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7663 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7664 [Bodo Moeller]
7665
7666 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7667 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7668 might.
7669 [Steve Henson]
7670
7671 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7672
7673 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7674 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7675
7676 ASN1 error codes
7677 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7678 ...
7679 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7680 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7681 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7682 ...
7683 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7684 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7685
7686 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7687 [Bodo Moeller]
7688
7689 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7690 suffices.
7691 [Bodo Moeller]
7692
7693 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7694 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7695 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7696 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7697 and
7698 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7699
7700 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7701 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7702
7703 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7704 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7705 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7706 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7707 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7708 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7709
7710 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7711 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7712
7713 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7714 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7715
7716 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7717 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7718
7719 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7720 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7721 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7722 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7723
7724 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7725 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7726
7727 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7728 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7729
7730 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7731 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7732 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7733 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7734 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7735 [Richard Levitte]
7736
7737 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7738 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7739 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7740 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7741 [Steve Henson]
7742
7743 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7744 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7745 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7746 trust settings.
7747 [Steve Henson]
7748
7749 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7750 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7751 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7752 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7753 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7754 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7755 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7756 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7757 ocsp utility.
7758 [Steve Henson]
7759
7760 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7761 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7762 [Steve Henson]
7763
7764 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7765 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7766 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7767 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7768 [Steve Henson]
7769
7770 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7771 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7772 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7773 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7774 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7775 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7776 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7777 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7778 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7779 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7780 [Steve Henson]
7781
7782 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7783 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7784 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7785 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7786 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7787 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7788 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7789 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7790
7791 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7792 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7793 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7794 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7795 [Richard Levitte]
7796
7797 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7798 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7799 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7800 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7801 opensslconf.h.
7802 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7803 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7804 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7805 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7806 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7807 what is available.
7808 [Richard Levitte]
7809
7810 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7811 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7812 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7813 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7814 auto incremented.
7815 [Steve Henson]
7816
7817 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7818 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7819 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7820 [Steve Henson]
7821
7822 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7823 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7824 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7825 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7826 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7827 [Steve Henson]
7828
7829 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7830 [Steve Henson]
7831
7832 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7833 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7834 option to ocsp utility.
7835 [Steve Henson]
7836
7837 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7838 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7839 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7840 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7841 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7842 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7843 the request is nonce-less.
7844 [Steve Henson]
7845
7846 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7847 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7848 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7849 [Bodo Moeller]
7850
7851 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7852 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7853 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7854 [Steve Henson]
7855
7856 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7857 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7858 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7859 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7860 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7861 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7862
7863 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7864 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7865 appear to exist.
7866 [Steve Henson]
7867
7868 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7869 additional certificates supplied.
7870 [Steve Henson]
7871
7872 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7873 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7874 signature against.
7875 [Richard Levitte]
7876
7877 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7878 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7879 AES OIDs.
7880
7881 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7882 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7883 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7884 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7885 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7886 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7887 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7888 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7889 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7890
7891 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7892 request to response.
7893 [Steve Henson]
7894
7895 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7896 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7897 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7898 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7899 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7900 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7901 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7902 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7903 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7904 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7905 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7906 [Steve Henson]
7907
7908 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7909 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7910 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7911 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7912 [Steve Henson]
7913
7914 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7915 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7916
7917 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7918 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7919 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7920 [Steve Henson]
7921
7922 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7923 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7924 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7925 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7926 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7927
7928 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7929 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7930 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7931 [Steve Henson]
7932
7933 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7934 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7935 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7936 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7937 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7938 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7939 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7940 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7941
7942 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7943 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7944 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7945 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7946 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7947 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7948 [Steve Henson]
7949
7950 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7951 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7952 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7953 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7954 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7955 printout format cleaned up.
7956 [Steve Henson]
7957
7958 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7959 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7960 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7961 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7962 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7963 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7964 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7965 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7966 [Steve Henson]
7967
7968 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7969 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7970 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7971 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7972 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7973 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7974 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7975 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7976 [Steve Henson]
7977
7978 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7979 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7980 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7981 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7982 section to use.
7983 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7984
7985 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7986 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7987 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7988 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7989 [Steve Henson]
7990
7991 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7992 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7993 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7994 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7995 in the index file.
7996 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7997
7998 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7999 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8000 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8001 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8002
8003 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8004 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8005
8006 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8007 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8008 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8009 [Steve Henson]
8010
8011 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8012 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8013 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8014 [Bodo Moeller]
8015
8016 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8017 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8018 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8019 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8020 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8021 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8022 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8023 functions are provided:
8024
8025 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8026 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8027 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8028 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8029
8030 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8031 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8032 extended allocation function is enabled.
8033 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8034 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8035 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8036
8037 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8038 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8039 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8040 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8041 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8042 [Geoff Thorpe]
8043
8044 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8045 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8046 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8047 be queried.
8048 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8049 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8050 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8051 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8052
8053 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8054 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8055 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8056 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8057 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8058 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8059 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8060 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8061 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8062 [Richard Levitte]
8063
8064 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8065 provide utility functions which an application needing
8066 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8067 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8068 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8069
8070 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8071 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8072 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8073 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8074 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8075 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8076 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8077 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8078 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8079
8080 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8081 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8082 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8083 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8084 [Steve Henson]
8085
8086 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8087 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8088 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8089 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8090 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8091 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8092 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8093 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8094 will be added elsewhere.
8095 [Steve Henson]
8096
8097 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8098 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8099 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8100 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8101 [Steve Henson]
8102
8103 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8104 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8105 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8106 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8107 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8108 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8109 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8110 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8111 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8112 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8113 to produce the required SET OF.
8114 [Steve Henson]
8115
8116 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8117 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8118 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8119 [Richard Levitte]
8120
8121 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8122 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8123 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8124 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8125 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8126 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8127 [Steve Henson]
8128
8129 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8130 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8131 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8132 [Steve Henson]
8133
8134 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8135 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8136 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8137 [Richard Levitte]
8138
8139 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8140 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8141 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8142 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8143 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8144 [Steve Henson]
8145
8146 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8147 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8148 [Steve Henson]
8149
8150 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8151 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8152 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8153 certificates and CRLs.
8154 [Steve Henson]
8155
8156 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8157 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8158 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8159 [Steve Henson]
8160
8161 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8162 entries for variables.
8163 [Steve Henson]
8164
8165 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8166 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8167 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8168 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8169 [Bodo Moeller]
8170
8171 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8172 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8173 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8174 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8175 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8176 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8177 [Bodo Moeller]
8178
8179 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8180 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8181
8182 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8183 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8184 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8185 [Steve Henson]
8186
8187 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8188 print routines.
8189 [Steve Henson]
8190
8191 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8192 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8193 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8194 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8195 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8196 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8197 [Steve Henson]
8198
8199 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8200 [Steve Henson]
8201
8202 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8203 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8204 for now but they will eventually go away.
8205 [Steve Henson]
8206
8207 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8208 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8209 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8210 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8211 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8212 has also been converted to the new form.
8213 [Steve Henson]
8214
8215 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8216 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8217 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8218 for negative moduli.
8219 [Bodo Moeller]
8220
8221 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8222 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8223 [Bodo Moeller]
8224
8225 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8226 set.
8227 [Bodo Moeller]
8228
8229 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8230 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8231 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8232 type-specific callbacks.
8233 [Geoff Thorpe]
8234
8235 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8236 RFC 2712.
8237 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8238 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8239
8240 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8241 in sections depending on the subject.
8242 [Richard Levitte]
8243
8244 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8245 Windows.
8246 [Richard Levitte]
8247
8248 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8249 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8250 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8251 be handled deterministically).
8252 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8253
8254 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8255 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8256 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8257 [Bodo Moeller]
8258
8259 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8260 [Bodo Moeller]
8261
8262 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8263 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8264 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8265 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8266 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8267 [Bodo Moeller]
8268
8269 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8270 sign of the number in question.
8271
8272 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8273
8274 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8275 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8276 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8277 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8278 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8279 [Bodo Moeller]
8280
8281 *) New function BN_swap.
8282 [Bodo Moeller]
8283
8284 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8285 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8286 results on negative inputs.
8287 [Bodo Moeller]
8288
8289 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8290 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8291 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8292 [Bodo Moeller]
8293
8294 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8295 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8296 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8297 and add new functions:
8298
8299 BN_nnmod
8300 BN_mod_sqr
8301 BN_mod_add
8302 BN_mod_add_quick
8303 BN_mod_sub
8304 BN_mod_sub_quick
8305 BN_mod_lshift1
8306 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8307 BN_mod_lshift
8308 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8309
8310 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8311
8312 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8313 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8314
8315 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8316 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8317 be reduced modulo m.
8318 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8319
8320 #if 0
8321 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8322 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8323 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8324
8325 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8326 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8327 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8328 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8329 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8330 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8331 differing sizes.
8332 [Richard Levitte]
8333 #endif
8334
8335 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8336 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8337 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8338 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8339 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8340
8341 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8342 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8343 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8344 cause any problems.
8345 [Bodo Moeller]
8346
8347 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8348 [Richard Levitte]
8349
8350 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8351 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8352 [Richard Levitte]
8353
8354 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8355 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8356 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8357 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8358 time)
8359 [Richard Levitte]
8360
8361 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8362 [Richard Levitte]
8363
8364 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8365 [Richard Levitte]
8366
8367 *) Add the following functions:
8368
8369 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8370 ENGINE_load_chil()
8371 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8372 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8373 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8374
8375 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8376 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8377 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8378 libraries unless it's really needed.
8379
8380 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8381 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8382 declarations (they differed!).
8383 [Richard Levitte]
8384
8385 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8386 [Richard Levitte]
8387
8388 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8389 [Richard Levitte]
8390
8391 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8392 [Bodo Moeller]
8393
8394 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8395 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8396 [Richard Levitte]
8397
8398 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8399 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8400 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8401
8402 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8403 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8404 [Richard Levitte]
8405
8406 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8407 [Richard Levitte]
8408
8409 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8410 [Richard Levitte]
8411
8412 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8413 [Ben Laurie]
8414
8415 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8416 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8417 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8418
8419 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8420 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8421 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8422 different shared library filenames on each system.
8423 [Geoff Thorpe]
8424
8425 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8426 [Richard Levitte]
8427
8428 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8429 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8430 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8431 of two sections.
8432 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8433
8434 *) NCONF changes.
8435 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8436 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8437 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8438 binary backward compatibility.
8439 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8440 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8441 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8442 LDAP server.
8443 [Richard Levitte]
8444
8445 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8446 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8447 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8448 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8449 this case.
8450 [Steve Henson]
8451
8452 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8453 [Ben Laurie]
8454
8455 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8456 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8457 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8458 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8459 set.
8460 [Steve Henson]
8461
8462 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8463 [Richard Levitte]
8464
8465 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8466
8467 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8468 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8469 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8470
8471 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8472
8473 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8474
8475 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8476 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8477 [Steve Henson]
8478
8479 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8480
8481 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8482
8483 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8484 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8485
8486 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8487 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8488
8489 [Steve Henson]
8490
8491 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8492 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8493 specifications.
8494 [Steve Henson]
8495
8496 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8497 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8498 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8499 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8500
8501 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8502 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8503 [Richard Levitte]
8504
8505 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8506
8507 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8508 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8509 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8510 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8511 [Bodo Moeller]
8512
8513 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8514 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8515 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8516 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8517 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8518
8519 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8520 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8521 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8522 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8523 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8524 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8525 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8526 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8527 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8528 [Bodo Moeller]
8529
8530 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8531
8532 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8533 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
8534 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8535 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8536 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8537
8538 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8539 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8540 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8541
8542 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8543
8544 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8545 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8546 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8547 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8548 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8549 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8550 [Geoff Thorpe]
8551
8552 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8553 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8554 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8555 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8556 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8557 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8558
8559 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8560 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8561 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8562
8563 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8564 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8565 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8566 EVP_cleanup().
8567 [Richard Levitte]
8568
8569 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8570 being properly terminated.
8571 [Richard Levitte]
8572
8573 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8574 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8575 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8576 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8577
8578 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8579 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8580 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8581 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8582 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8583 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8584 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8585 change.
8586 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8587
8588 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8589 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8590 [Bodo Moeller]
8591
8592 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8593 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8594 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8595 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8596 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8597 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8598 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8599 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8600
8601 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8602 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8603 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8604 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8605 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8606
8607 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8608 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8609 [Steve Henson]
8610
8611 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8612
8613 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8614 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8615 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8616
8617 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8618
8619 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8620 and get fix the header length calculation.
8621 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8622 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8623 Steve Henson]
8624
8625 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8626 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8627 assertions could call abort()).
8628 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8629
8630 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8631
8632 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8633 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8634 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8635 supplied buffer.
8636 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8637
8638 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8639 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8640 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8641 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8642
8643 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8644 [Nils Larsch]
8645
8646 *) New option
8647 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8648 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8649 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8650
8651 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8652 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8653 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8654 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8655 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8656 applications.
8657 [Bodo Moeller]
8658
8659 *) Changes in security patch:
8660
8661 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8662 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8663 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8664 F30602-01-2-0537.
8665
8666 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8667 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8668 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8669 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8670 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8671
8672 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8673 happen in practice.
8674 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8675
8676 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8677 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8678 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8679
8680 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8681 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8682 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8683
8684 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8685 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8686 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8687
8688 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8689
8690 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8691 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8692 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8693
8694 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8695 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8696
8697 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8698 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8699 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8700 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8701 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8702 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8703 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8704
8705 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8706 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8707 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8708 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8709 [Bodo Moeller]
8710
8711 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8712 [Bodo Moeller]
8713
8714 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8715 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8716 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8717 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8718 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8719 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8720
8721 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8722 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8723 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8724 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8725 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8726 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8727
8728 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8729 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8730 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8731 BN_generate_prime().)
8732
8733 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8734 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8735 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8736 better.
8737 [Bodo Moeller]
8738
8739 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8740 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8741 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8742
8743 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8744 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8745 when using non-blocking I/O.
8746 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8747
8748 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8749 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8750
8751 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8752 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8753 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8754
8755 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8756 configuration for the versions before that.
8757 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8758
8759 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8760 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8761 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8762 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8763 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8764
8765 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8766 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8767 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8768 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8769
8770 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8771 value is 0.
8772 [Richard Levitte]
8773
8774 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8775 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8776 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8777
8778 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8779 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8780
8781 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8782 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8783 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8784 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8785 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8786 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8787 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8788 session cache.
8789
8790 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8791 using a local variable.
8792 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8793
8794 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8795 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8796 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8797
8798 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8799 [Richard Levitte]
8800
8801 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8802 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8803
8804 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8805 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8806 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8807
8808 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8809
8810 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8811 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8812 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8813 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8814 [Bodo Moeller]
8815
8816 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8817 present.
8818 [Steve Henson]
8819
8820 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8821 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8822 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8823 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8824 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8825
8826 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8827 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8828 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8829
8830 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8831 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8832 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8833
8834 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8835 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8836 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8837 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8838
8839 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8840 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8841 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8842 modules).
8843 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8844
8845 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8846 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8847 from 0.9.7.
8848 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8849
8850 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8851 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8852 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8853 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8854
8855 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8856 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8857 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8858 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8859
8860 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8861 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8862
8863 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8864 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8865 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8866 [Bodo Moeller]
8867
8868 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8869 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8870 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8871 become invalid.
8872 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8873
8874 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8875 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8876 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8877 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8878 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8879 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8880 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8881 [Bodo Moeller]
8882
8883 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8884 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8885 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8886 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8887
8888 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8889 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8890 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8891 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8892 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8893 the client will at least see that alert.
8894 [Bodo Moeller]
8895
8896 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8897 correctly.
8898 [Bodo Moeller]
8899
8900 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8901 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8902 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8903
8904 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8905 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8906 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8907 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8908 HelloRequest.
8909
8910 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8911 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8912 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8913
8914 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8915 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8916 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8917 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8918 may leak via logfiles.)
8919
8920 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8921 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8922 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8923 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8924 the legal range.
8925 [Bodo Moeller]
8926
8927 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8928 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8929 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8930
8931 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8932 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8933 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8934 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8935 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8936 [Bodo Moeller]
8937
8938 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8939 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8940
8941 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8942 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8943 followed by modular reduction.
8944 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8945
8946 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8947 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8948 [Bodo Moeller]
8949
8950 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8951 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8952 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8953 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8954 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8955
8956 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8957 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8958
8959 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8960 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8961 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8962
8963 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8964 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8965 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8966 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8967 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8968 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8969 automatically.
8970 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8971
8972 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8973 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8974 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8975 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8976 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8977
8978 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8979 [Andy Polyakov]
8980
8981 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8982 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8983 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8984 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8985 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8986 to allow the necessary settings.
8987 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8988
8989 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8990 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8991 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8992 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8993 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8994
8995 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8996 dh->length and always used
8997
8998 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8999
9000 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9001 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9002 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9003 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9004 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9005 dh->length.
9006
9007 So switch back to
9008
9009 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9010
9011 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9012 otherwise.
9013 [Bodo Moeller]
9014
9015 *) In
9016
9017 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9018 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9019 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9020 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9021
9022 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9023 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9024 always reject numbers >= n.
9025 [Bodo Moeller]
9026
9027 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9028 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9029 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9030 variable) is not atomic.
9031 [Bodo Moeller]
9032
9033 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9034 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9035 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9036 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9037
9038 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9039 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9040
9041 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9042 little-endian MIPS.
9043 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9044
9045 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9046 [Richard Levitte]
9047
9048 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9049
9050 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9051 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9052 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9053 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9054 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9055 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9056 to traverse all of 'state'.
9057
9058 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9059 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9060 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9061
9062 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9063 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9064
9065 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9066 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9067 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9068 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9069 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9070 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9071 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9072 further strengthens the PRNG.
9073 [Bodo Moeller]
9074
9075 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9076 [Andy Polyakov]
9077
9078 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9079 an error message in this case.
9080 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9081
9082 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9083 [Steve Henson]
9084
9085 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9086 positive and less than q.
9087 [Bodo Moeller]
9088
9089 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9090 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9091 that itself.
9092 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9093
9094 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9095 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9096 [Bodo Moeller]
9097
9098 *) Fix OAEP check.
9099 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9100
9101 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9102 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9103 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9104 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9105 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9106 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9107 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9108 paper.)
9109
9110 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9111 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9112 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9113 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9114
9115 Both problems are now fixed.
9116 [Bodo Moeller]
9117
9118 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9119 (previously it was 1024).
9120 [Bodo Moeller]
9121
9122 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9123 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9124 [Steve Henson]
9125
9126 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9127 [Steve Henson]
9128
9129 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9130 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9131 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9132 [Steve Henson]
9133
9134 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9135 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9136 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9137 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9138 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9139 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9140 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9141 environment variables.
9142
9143 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9144 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9145 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9146 [Bodo Moeller]
9147
9148 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9149 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9150 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9151 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9152 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9153 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9154 [Bodo Moeller]
9155
9156 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9157 versions of 'test'.
9158 [Bodo Moeller]
9159
9160 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9161
9162 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9163 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9164
9165 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9166 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9167 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9168 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9169 CygWin.
9170 [Richard Levitte]
9171
9172 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9173 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9174 amount of data available.
9175 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9176 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9177
9178 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9179 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9180 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9181 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9182 [Bodo Moeller]
9183
9184 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9185 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9186 and UnixWare.
9187 [Richard Levitte]
9188
9189 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9190 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9191 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9192 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9193 [Ulf Moeller]
9194
9195 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9196 [Andy Polyakov]
9197
9198 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9199 [Richard Levitte]
9200
9201 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9202 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9203 [Steve Henson]
9204 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9205
9206 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9207 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9208 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9209 (but broken) behaviour.
9210 [Steve Henson]
9211
9212 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9213 it when found.
9214 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9215
9216 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9217 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9218 [Bodo Moeller]
9219
9220 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9221 did not exist.
9222 [Bodo Moeller]
9223
9224 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9225 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9226
9227 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9228 [Richard Levitte]
9229
9230 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9231 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9232 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9233
9234 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9235 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9236 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9237 [Steve Henson]
9238
9239 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9240 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9241 [Ulf Moeller]
9242
9243 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9244 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9245
9246 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9247
9248 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9249
9250 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9251 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9252 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9253 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9254 [Bodo Moeller]
9255
9256 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9257 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9258
9259 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9260 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9261 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9262
9263 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9264 was empty.
9265 [Steve Henson]
9266 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9267
9268 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9269 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9270 but the code is actually correct.
9271 [Steve Henson]
9272
9273 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9274 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9275 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9276 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9277 and leaves the highest bit random.
9278 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9279
9280 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9281 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9282 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9283 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9284 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9285 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9286 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9287 [Bodo Moeller]
9288
9289 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9290 [Ulf Moeller]
9291
9292 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9293 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9294 [Steve Henson]
9295
9296 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9297 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9298 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9299 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9300 headers.
9301 [Richard Levitte]
9302
9303 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9304 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9305 and break the signature.
9306 [Steve Henson]
9307 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9308
9309 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9310 DH ciphersuites.
9311 [Steve Henson]
9312
9313 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9314 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9315 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9316 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9317 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9318 [Bodo Moeller]
9319
9320 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9321 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9322
9323 *) ./config script fixes.
9324 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9325
9326 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9327 [Bodo Moeller]
9328
9329 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9330 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9331 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9332 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9333 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9334
9335 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9336 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9337 [Bodo Moeller]
9338
9339 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9340 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9341 [Steve Henson]
9342
9343 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9344 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9345 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9346 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9347
9348 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9349 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9350
9351 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9352 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9353 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9354 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9355 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9356
9357 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9358 [Bodo Moeller]
9359
9360 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9361 [Ulf Möller]
9362
9363 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9364 [Ulf Möller]
9365
9366 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9367 [Bodo Moeller]
9368
9369 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9370 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9371 [Bodo Moeller]
9372
9373 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9374 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9375 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9376 result of the server certificate verification.)
9377 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9378
9379 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9380 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9381 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9382 [Bodo Moeller]
9383
9384 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9385 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9386 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9387 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9388 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9389 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9390 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9391 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9392 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9393 [Bodo Moeller]
9394
9395 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9396 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9397 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9398 happening the other way round.
9399 [Geoff Thorpe]
9400
9401 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9402 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9403 [Bodo Moeller]
9404
9405 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9406 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9407 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9408 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9409 [Richard Levitte]
9410
9411 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9412 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9413
9414 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9415
9416 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9417 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9418 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9419 that.
9420
9421 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9422
9423 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9424
9425 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9426 static ones.
9427 [Richard Levitte]
9428
9429 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9430
9431 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9432 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9433 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9434 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9435 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9436
9437 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9438 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9439 matter what.
9440 [Richard Levitte]
9441
9442 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9443 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9444
9445 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9446
9447 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9448 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9449 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9450 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9451 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9452 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9453 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9454 by the Finished messages.
9455 [Bodo Moeller]
9456
9457 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9458 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9459
9460 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9461 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9462 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9463 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9464 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9465 appropriately.
9466 [Steve Henson]
9467
9468 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9469 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9470 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9471 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9472 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9473 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9474 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9475 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9476 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9477 together.
9478 [Steve Henson]
9479
9480 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9481 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9482 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9483 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9484
9485 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9486 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9487 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9488 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9489 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9490 the answer.
9491
9492 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9493 been tested well enough.
9494 [Richard Levitte]
9495
9496 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9497 it can return incorrect results.
9498 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9499 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9500 [Bodo Moeller]
9501
9502 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9503 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9504 include zero length content when signing messages.
9505 [Steve Henson]
9506
9507 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9508 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9509 [Bodo Möller]
9510
9511 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9512 [Richard Levitte]
9513
9514 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9515 wrong sign.
9516 [Ulf Möller]
9517
9518 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9519 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9520 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9521 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9522 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9523 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9524 [Richard Levitte]
9525
9526 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9527 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9528
9529 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9530 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9531
9532 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9533 random number < q in the DSA library.
9534 [Ulf Möller]
9535
9536 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9537 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9538 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9539 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9540 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9541 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9542 just makes things more complicated.)
9543 [Bodo Moeller]
9544
9545 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9546 from EGD.
9547 [Ben Laurie]
9548
9549 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9550 work better on such systems.
9551 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9552
9553 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9554 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9555 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9556 [Steve Henson]
9557
9558 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9559 if there was more than one signature.
9560 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9561
9562 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9563 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9564 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9565 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9566 [Richard Levitte]
9567
9568 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9569 rather than always using the current time.
9570 [Steve Henson]
9571
9572 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9573 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9574 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9575 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9576 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9577 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9578
9579 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9580 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9581
9582 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9583
9584 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9585 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9586 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9587 the same hash value.
9588
9589 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9590 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9591 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9592 with X509_STORE internally.
9593
9594 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9595 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9596
9597 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9598 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9599 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9600 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9601 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9602 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9603 entirely (maybe later...).
9604
9605 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9606
9607 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9608 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9609 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9610 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9611 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9612 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9613 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9614 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9615
9616 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9617 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9618
9619 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9620 to customise the verify behaviour.
9621 [Steve Henson]
9622
9623 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9624 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9625 [Steve Henson]
9626
9627 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9628 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9629 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9630 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9631 request is improperly encoded.
9632 [Steve Henson]
9633
9634 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9635 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9636 BIO_write(b, ...).
9637
9638 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9639 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9640
9641 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9642 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9643 words set to zero.)
9644 [Bodo Moeller]
9645
9646 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9647 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9648 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9649 [Bodo Moeller]
9650
9651 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9652 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9653 BIO/fp routines also added.
9654 [Steve Henson]
9655
9656 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9657 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9658
9659 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9660 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9661 demos/state_machine.
9662 [Ben Laurie]
9663
9664 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9665 generation and verification.
9666 [Steve Henson]
9667
9668 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9669 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9670 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9671 encode and decode it manually.
9672 [Steve Henson]
9673
9674 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9675 compile under VC++.
9676 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9677
9678 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9679 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9680 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9681 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9682
9683 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9684 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9685 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9686 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9687 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9688 [Steve Henson]
9689
9690 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9691 [Richard Levitte]
9692
9693 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
9694 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9695 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9696
9697 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9698 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9699 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9700 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9701 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9702 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9703 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9704 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9705
9706 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9707 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9708
9709 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9710
9711 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9712 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9713 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9714
9715 [Richard Levitte]
9716
9717 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9718 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9719 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9720 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9721 [Richard Levitte]
9722
9723 *) MD4 implemented.
9724 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9725
9726 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9727 [Richard Levitte]
9728
9729 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9730 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9731 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9732 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9733 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9734 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9735 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9736 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9737 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9738 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9739 short or long names are found.
9740 [Steve Henson]
9741
9742 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9743 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9744
9745 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9746 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9747 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9748 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9749
9750 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9751 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9752 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9753 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9754 [Bodo Moeller]
9755
9756 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9757 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9758 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9759 [Richard Levitte]
9760
9761 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9762 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9763 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9764 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9765 to allow the various flags to be set.
9766 [Steve Henson]
9767
9768 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9769 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9770 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9771 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9772 dates to be checked.
9773 [Steve Henson]
9774
9775 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9776 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9777 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9778 [Steve Henson]
9779
9780 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9781 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9782 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9783 [Steve Henson]
9784
9785 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9786 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9787 [Bodo Moeller]
9788
9789 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9790 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9791 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9792 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9793 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9794 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9795 [Richard Levitte]
9796
9797 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9798 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9799 Random Numbers.
9800 [Ulf Möller]
9801
9802 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9803 DSA key.
9804 [Steve Henson]
9805
9806 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9807 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9808 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9809 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9810 form signing output easier to verify.
9811 [Steve Henson]
9812
9813 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9814 [Steve Henson]
9815
9816 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9817 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9818 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9819 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9820 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9821 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9822 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9823 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9824 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9825 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9826 [Steve Henson]
9827
9828 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9829
9830 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9831 the syntax given in objects.README.
9832 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9833 obj_mac.h.
9834 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9835 obj_mac.h.
9836
9837 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9838 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9839 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9840 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9841 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9842 consistent name changes.
9843 [Richard Levitte]
9844
9845 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9846 [Bodo Moeller]
9847
9848 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9849 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9850 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9851 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9852 [Richard Levitte]
9853
9854 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9855 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9856 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9857 of safestack.h .
9858 [Steve Henson]
9859
9860 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9861 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9862 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9863 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9864 [Steve Henson]
9865
9866 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9867 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9868 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9869 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9870 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9871 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9872 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9873 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9874 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9875 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9876 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9877 [Steve Henson]
9878
9879 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9880 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9881 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9882 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9883 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9884 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9885 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9886 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9887 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9888 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9889 [Steve Henson]
9890
9891 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9892 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9893 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9894 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9895
9896 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9897 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9898 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9899 omit any duplicate addresses.
9900 [Steve Henson]
9901
9902 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9903 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9904 [Bodo Moeller]
9905
9906 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9907 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9908 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9909 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9910 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9911 [Bodo Moeller]
9912
9913 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9914 software:
9915 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9916 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9917 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9918 Free => OPENSSL_free
9919 [Richard Levitte]
9920
9921 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9922 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9923 [Bodo Moeller]
9924
9925 *) CygWin32 support.
9926 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9927
9928 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9929 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9930 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9931 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9932 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9933 approach.
9934 [Geoff Thorpe]
9935
9936 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9937 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9938 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9939 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9940 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9941 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9942 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9943 [Geoff Thorpe]
9944
9945 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9946 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9947 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9948 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9949 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9950 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9951 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9952 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9953 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9954 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9955 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9956 [Bodo Moeller]
9957
9958 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9959 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9960 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9961 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9962 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9963
9964 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9965 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9966 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9967 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9968 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9969
9970 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9971 ciphers.
9972
9973 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9974 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9975 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9976 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9977
9978 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9979
9980 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9981 of macros.
9982
9983 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9984 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9985 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9986 flags.
9987
9988 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9989 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9990 any installed hardware versions can.
9991 [Steve Henson]
9992
9993 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9994 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9995 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9996 number.
9997 [Bodo Moeller]
9998
9999 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10000 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10001 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10002 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10003 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10004
10005 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10006 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10007 [Steve Henson]
10008
10009 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10010 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10011 [Richard Levitte]
10012
10013 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10014 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10015 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10016 features.
10017 [Steve Henson]
10018
10019 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10020 [Ulf Möller]
10021
10022 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10023 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10024 but no ssl client purpose.
10025 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10026
10027 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10028 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10029 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10030 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10031 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10032 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10033 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10034 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10035 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10036 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10037 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10038 [Steve Henson]
10039
10040 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10041 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10042 be obtained from the error queue.
10043 [Bodo Moeller]
10044
10045 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10046 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10047 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10048 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10049 [Bodo Moeller]
10050
10051 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10052 [Ulf Möller]
10053
10054 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10055 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10056 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10057 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10058 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10059 [Geoff Thorpe]
10060
10061 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10062 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10063 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10064 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10065 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10066 [Geoff Thorpe]
10067
10068 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10069 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10070 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10071 may not be NULL.
10072 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10073
10074 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10075 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10076 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10077 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10078 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10079 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10080 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10081 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10082 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10083 or "the configuration storage API"...
10084
10085 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10086
10087 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10088 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10089
10090 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10091
10092 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10093
10094 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10095 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10096 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10097 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10098 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10099 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10100 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10101
10102 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10103 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10104 [Richard Levitte]
10105
10106 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10107 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10108 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10109 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10110 [Bodo Moeller]
10111
10112 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10113 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10114 them in a portable way.
10115 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10116
10117 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10118
10119 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10120
10121 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10122 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10123
10124 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10125 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10126 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10127 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10128
10129 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10130 was larger than the MD block size.
10131 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10132
10133 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10134 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10135 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10136 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10137 components.
10138 [Steve Henson]
10139
10140 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10141 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10142 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10143
10144 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10145 discouraged.
10146 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10147
10148 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10149 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10150 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10151 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10152 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10153 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10154
10155 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10156 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10157
10158 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10159 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10160 [Bodo Moeller]
10161
10162 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10163 [Bodo Moeller]
10164
10165 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10166 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10167 its own key.
10168 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10169 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10170 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10171 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10172 [Bodo Moeller]
10173
10174 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10175 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10176 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10177 does not suppress any output.
10178 [Richard Levitte]
10179
10180 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10181 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10182 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10183 with all the associated security issues.
10184
10185 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10186 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10187 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10188 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10189 use the value in the default purpose.
10190 [Steve Henson]
10191
10192 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10193 and fix a memory leak.
10194 [Steve Henson]
10195
10196 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10197 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10198 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10199 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10200 [Bodo Moeller]
10201
10202 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10203 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10204 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10205 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10206 [Bodo Moeller]
10207
10208 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10209 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10210 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10211 [Bodo Moeller]
10212
10213 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10214 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10215 [Bodo Moeller]
10216
10217 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10218 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10219 which was free.
10220 [Steve Henson]
10221
10222 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10223 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10224 [Bodo Moeller]
10225
10226 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10227 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10228 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10229 [Bodo Moeller]
10230
10231 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10232 number generation fails.
10233 [Bodo Moeller]
10234
10235 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10236 [Bodo Moeller]
10237
10238 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10239 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10240
10241 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10242 [Ulf Möller]
10243
10244 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10245 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10246
10247 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10248 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10249
10250 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10251
10252 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10253 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10254 [Steve Henson]
10255
10256 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10257 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10258
10259 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10260 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10261 [Ulf Möller]
10262
10263 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10264 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10265 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10266 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10267 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10268 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10269
10270 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10271 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10272 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10273 for example.
10274 [Steve Henson]
10275
10276 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10277 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10278 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10279 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10280 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10281 counter, some don't.)
10282 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10283 counters or duplicate objects.
10284 [Steve Henson]
10285
10286 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10287 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10288 [Steve Henson]
10289
10290 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10291 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10292 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10293
10294 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10295 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10296 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10297 or -rand.
10298 [Ulf Möller]
10299
10300 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10301 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10302 [Steve Henson]
10303
10304 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10305 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10306 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10307 cipher list.
10308 [Steve Henson]
10309
10310 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10311 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10312 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10313 [Steve Henson]
10314
10315 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10316 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10317 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10318 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10319 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10320 should work without changes.
10321 [Richard Levitte]
10322
10323 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10324 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10325 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10326 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10327 must be defined. E.g.,
10328 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10329 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10330 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10331 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10332
10333 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10334 record layer.
10335 [Bodo Moeller]
10336
10337 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10338 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10339 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10340 [Steve Henson]
10341
10342 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10343 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10344 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10345 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10346 [Steve Henson]
10347
10348 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10349 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10350 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10351 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10352 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10353 is prompted for as usual.
10354 [Steve Henson]
10355
10356 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10357 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10358 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10359 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10360
10361 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10362 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10363 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10364 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10365 [Steve Henson]
10366
10367 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10368 [Andy Polyakov]
10369
10370 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10371 of seed file.
10372 [Steve Henson]
10373
10374 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10375 [Bodo Moeller]
10376
10377 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10378 [Steve Henson]
10379
10380 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10381 bits.
10382 [Ulf Möller]
10383
10384 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10385 [Ulf Möller]
10386
10387 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10388 [Andy Polyakov]
10389
10390 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10391 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10392 [Ulf Möller]
10393
10394 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10395 options to produce them.
10396 [Steve Henson]
10397
10398 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10399 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10400 [Ulf Möller]
10401
10402 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10403 for p == 0.
10404 [Ulf Möller]
10405
10406 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10407 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10408 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10409 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10410 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10411 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10412 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10413 [Steve Henson]
10414
10415 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10416 [Steve Henson]
10417
10418 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10419 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10420 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10421 [Bodo Moeller]
10422
10423 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10424 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10425
10426 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10427 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10428 [Ulf Möller]
10429
10430 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10431 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10432 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10433 has already seen).
10434 [Bodo Moeller]
10435
10436 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10437 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10438
10439 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10440 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10441 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10442 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10443 generation becomes much faster.
10444
10445 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10446 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10447 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10448 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10449 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10450 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10451 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10452 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10453 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10454 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10455 [Bodo Moeller]
10456
10457 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10458 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10459 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10460 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10461 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10462 trial division stage.
10463 [Bodo Moeller]
10464
10465 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10466 as ASN1_TIME.
10467 [Steve Henson]
10468
10469 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10470 [Steve Henson]
10471
10472 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10473 [Ulf Möller]
10474
10475 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10476 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10477 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10478 the comments.
10479 [Ulf Möller]
10480
10481 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10482 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10483 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10484 [Bodo Moeller]
10485
10486 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10487 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10488 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10489 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10490
10491 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10492 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10493 [Steve Henson]
10494
10495 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10496 [Ulf Möller]
10497
10498 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10499 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10500 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10501 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10502 [Ulf Möller]
10503
10504 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10505 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10506 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10507 [Ulf Möller]
10508
10509 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10510 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10511 (instead of parameters) in future.
10512 [Steve Henson]
10513
10514 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10515 when a new cipher list is set.
10516 [Steve Henson]
10517
10518 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10519 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10520 wrong.
10521
10522 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10523 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10524 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10525
10526 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10527 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10528 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10529 an error is flagged.
10530
10531 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10532 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10533 the readability was also increased :-)
10534 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10535
10536 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10537 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10538 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10539 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10540 as the root CA.
10541 [Steve Henson]
10542
10543 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10544 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10545 [Steve Henson]
10546
10547 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10548 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10549 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10550 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10551 instead.
10552
10553 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10554 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10555 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10556 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10557 because they handle more complex structures.)
10558 [Steve Henson]
10559
10560 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10561 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10562 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10563 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10564
10565 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10566 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10567 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10568 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10569 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10570 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10571 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10572 [Ulf Möller]
10573
10574 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10575 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10576 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10577 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10578 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10579 [Bodo Moeller]
10580
10581 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10582 [Bodo Moeller]
10583
10584 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10585 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10586 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10587 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10588 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10589 to use this.
10590
10591 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10592 code.
10593 [Steve Henson]
10594
10595 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10596 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10597 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10598 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10599 [Steve Henson]
10600
10601 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10602 [Ulf Möller]
10603
10604 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10605 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10606 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10607 international characters are used.
10608
10609 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10610 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10611 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10612 in ASN1 order.
10613 [Steve Henson]
10614
10615 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10616 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10617 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10618 request.
10619
10620 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10621 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10622 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10623 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10624 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10625 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10626
10627 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10628 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10629 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10630 be handled by the string table functions.
10631
10632 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10633 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10634 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10635 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10636 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10637 types at all.
10638 [Steve Henson]
10639
10640 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10641 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10642 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10643 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10644 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10645
10646 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10647 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10648 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10649 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10650 [Bodo Moeller]
10651
10652 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10653 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10654 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10655 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10656 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10657 SHA1.
10658 [Andy Polyakov]
10659
10660 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10661 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10662 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10663 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10664 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10665 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10666 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10667 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10668
10669 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10670 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10671 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10672 [Steve Henson]
10673
10674 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10675 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10676 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10677 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10678 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10679 support to pkcs8 application.
10680 [Steve Henson]
10681
10682 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10683 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10684 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10685 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10686 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10687 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10688 [Bodo Moeller]
10689
10690 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10691 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10692 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10693 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10694 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10695 consistency.
10696 [Bodo Moeller]
10697
10698 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10699 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10700 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10701 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10702 example.
10703 [Steve Henson]
10704
10705 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10706 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10707 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10708 and any application specific purposes.
10709
10710 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10711 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10712 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10713 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10714 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10715 if the certificate is self signed.
10716 [Steve Henson]
10717
10718 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10719 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10720 [Steve Henson]
10721
10722 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10723 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10724 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10725 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10726 [Steve Henson]
10727
10728 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10729 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10730 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10731 Update documentation.
10732 [Steve Henson]
10733
10734 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10735 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10736 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10737 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10738 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10739 [Steve Henson]
10740
10741 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10742 for details.
10743 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10744
10745 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10746 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10747 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10748 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10749 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10750 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10751 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10752 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10753 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10754 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10755
10756 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10757
10758 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10759 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10760 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10761 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10762 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10763
10764 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10765 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10766 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10767 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10768 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10769 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10770 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10771 request additional information:
10772 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10773 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10774
10775 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10776 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10777 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10778 options.
10779
10780 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10781 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10782
10783 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10784 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10785 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10786
10787 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10788 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10789
10790 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10791 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10792 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10793 algorithm.
10794 [Steve Henson]
10795
10796 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10797 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10798 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10799
10800 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10801 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10802 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10803 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10804 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10805 included in OpenSSL.
10806 [Steve Henson]
10807
10808 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10809 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10810 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10811 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10812 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10813 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10814 [Bodo Moeller]
10815
10816 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10817 PKCS12 structure.
10818 [Steve Henson]
10819
10820 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10821 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10822 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10823 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10824 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10825 structure.
10826 [Steve Henson]
10827
10828 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10829 need initialising.
10830 [Steve Henson]
10831
10832 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10833 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10834 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10835 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10836 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10837 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10838 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10839 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10840 be maintained manually.
10841
10842 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10843 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10844 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10845 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10846 work because people forget to call this function]
10847 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10848 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10849 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10850 [Steve Henson]
10851
10852 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10853 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10854 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10855 should be discouraged from doing it.
10856 [Ben Laurie]
10857
10858 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10859 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10860 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10861 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10862 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10863 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10864 [Steve Henson]
10865
10866 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10867 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10868 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10869
10870 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10871 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10872 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10873
10874 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10875 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10876 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10877 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10878 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10879 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10880
10881 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10882 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10883 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10884
10885 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10886 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10887 and vice versa.
10888
10889 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10890 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10891 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10892 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10893 [Steve Henson]
10894
10895 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10896 [Steve Henson]
10897
10898 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10899 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10900 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10901 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10902 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10903 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10904 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10905 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10906 keys so we should be OK.
10907
10908 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10909 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10910 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10911 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10912 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10913 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10914 stay in the name of compatibility.
10915
10916 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10917 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10918 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10919
10920 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10921 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10922 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10923 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10924 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10925 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10926 supplied key).
10927 [Steve Henson]
10928
10929 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10930 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10931 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10932 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10933 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10934 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10935 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10936 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10937 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10938 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10939 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10940 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10941 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10942 [Steve Henson]
10943
10944 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10945 [Steve Henson]
10946
10947 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10948 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10949 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10950 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10951 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10952 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10953 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10954 openssl verify ss.pem
10955 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10956 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10957 is OK.
10958 [Steve Henson]
10959
10960 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10961 (and add it to external session representation).
10962 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10963 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10964 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10965 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10966 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10967 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10968 security holes.
10969 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10970
10971 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10972 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10973 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10974 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10975
10976 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10977 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10978 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10979 [Steve Henson]
10980
10981 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10982 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10983 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10984 code.
10985 [Steve Henson]
10986
10987 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10988 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10989 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10990
10991 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10992 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10993 certificate auxiliary information.
10994 [Steve Henson]
10995
10996 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10997 the 'enc' command.
10998 [Steve Henson]
10999
11000 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11001 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11002 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11003 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11004 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11005 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11006 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11007 [Richard Levitte]
11008
11009 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11010 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11011 [Steve Henson]
11012
11013 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11014 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11015 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11016 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11017 [Steve Henson]
11018
11019 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11020 [Steve Henson]
11021
11022 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11023 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11024 [Steve Henson]
11025
11026 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11027 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11028 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11029 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11030 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11031 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11032 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11033 using the new 'x509' options.
11034
11035 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11036 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11037 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11038 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11039 for all purposes.
11040 [Steve Henson]
11041
11042 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11043 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11044 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11045 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11046 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11047 [Mark Cox]
11048
11049 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11050 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11051 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11052 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11053 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11054 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11055 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11056 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11057 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11058 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11059 [Steve Henson]
11060
11061 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11062 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11063 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11064 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11065 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11066 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11067 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11068 [Steve Henson]
11069
11070 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11071 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11072 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11073 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11074 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11075 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11076 openssl.cnf for more info.
11077 [Steve Henson]
11078
11079 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11080 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11081 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11082 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11083 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11084 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11085 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11086 md should be large enough anyway.
11087 [Bodo Moeller]
11088
11089 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11090 for handling the random seed file.
11091
11092 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11093 ca,
11094 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11095 s_client,
11096 s_server,
11097 x509 (when signing).
11098 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11099 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11100 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11101
11102 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11103 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11104 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11105 that support '-rand'.
11106 [Bodo Moeller]
11107
11108 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11109 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11110 [Bodo Moeller]
11111
11112 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11113 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11114 [Bill Perry]
11115
11116 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11117 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11118 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11119 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11120 is suitable.
11121 [Steve Henson]
11122
11123 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11124 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11125 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11126 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11127 [Steve Henson]
11128
11129 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11130 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11131 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11132 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11133 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11134 print out all the purposes.
11135 [Steve Henson]
11136
11137 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11138 functions.
11139 [Steve Henson]
11140
11141 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11142 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11143 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11144 single function call.
11145 [Steve Henson]
11146
11147 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11148 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11149 [Andy Polyakov]
11150
11151 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11152 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11153 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11154 [Steve Henson]
11155
11156 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11157 when producing the local key id.
11158 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11159
11160 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11161 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11162 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11163 "server.pem".
11164 [Steve Henson]
11165
11166 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11167 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11168 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11169 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11170 [Steve Henson]
11171
11172 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11173 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11174 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11175 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11176
11177 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11178 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11179 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11180 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11181
11182 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11183 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11184 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11185 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11186 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11187 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11188 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11189 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11190 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11191 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11192 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11193 trivial: move one line.
11194 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11195
11196 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11197 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11198 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11199 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11200 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11201 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11202 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11203 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11204 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11205 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11206 with an event loop for example.
11207 [Steve Henson]
11208
11209 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11210 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11211 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11212 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11213 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11214 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11215 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11216 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11217 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11218 [Steve Henson]
11219
11220 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11221 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11222 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11223 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11224 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11225 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11226 [Steve Henson]
11227
11228 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11229 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11230 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11231 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11232
11233 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11234 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11235 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11236 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11237 key generation.
11238 [Steve Henson]
11239
11240 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11241 (still largely untested)
11242 [Bodo Moeller]
11243
11244 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11245 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11246 [Steve Henson]
11247
11248 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11249 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11250 [Steve Henson]
11251
11252 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11253 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11254 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11255 [Bodo Moeller]
11256
11257 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11258 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11259 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11260 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11261 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11262 [Steve Henson]
11263
11264 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11265 [Andy Polyakov]
11266
11267 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11268 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11269 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11270 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11271 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11272 in ca.
11273 [Steve Henson]
11274
11275 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11276 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11277 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11278 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11279 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11280 [Steve Henson]
11281
11282 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11283 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11284 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11285 are otherwise ignored at present.
11286 [Steve Henson]
11287
11288 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11289 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11290 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11291 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11292 copied until the next read.
11293 [Steve Henson]
11294
11295 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11296 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11297 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11298 [Steve Henson]
11299
11300 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11301 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11302 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11303 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11304 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11305 associated functions.
11306 [Steve Henson]
11307
11308 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11309 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11310 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11311 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11312 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11313 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11314 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11315 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11316 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11317 memory BIOs.
11318 [Steve Henson]
11319
11320 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11321 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11322 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11323 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11324 [Bodo Moeller]
11325
11326 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11327 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11328 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11329 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11330 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11331 functionality.
11332 [Steve Henson]
11333
11334 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11335 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11336 under Win32.
11337 [Steve Henson]
11338
11339 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11340 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11341 extensions to be obtained and added.
11342 [Steve Henson]
11343
11344 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11345 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11346 [Bodo Moeller]
11347
11348 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11349
11350 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11351 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11352
11353 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11354 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11355
11356 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11357 program.
11358 [Steve Henson]
11359
11360 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11361 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11362 DH parameters contain its length).
11363
11364 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11365 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11366 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11367 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11368 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11369 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11370 utter importance to use
11371 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11372 or
11373 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11374 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11375 attacks may become possible!
11376 [Bodo Moeller]
11377
11378 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11379 [Bodo Moeller]
11380
11381 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11382 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11383 [Steve Henson]
11384
11385 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11386 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11387 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11388 or long name.
11389 [Steve Henson]
11390
11391 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11392 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11393 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11394 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11395 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11396 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11397 private key operations.
11398 [Steve Henson]
11399
11400 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11401 [Andy Polyakov]
11402
11403 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11404 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11405 to
11406 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11407 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11408 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11409 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11410 the password callback is called.
11411 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11412
11413 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11414
11415 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11416 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11417 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11418 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11419 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11420 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11421 this will work.
11422
11423 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11424 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11425 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11426 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11427 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11428 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11429 [Bodo Moeller]
11430
11431 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11432 [Andy Polyakov]
11433
11434 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11435 delete an unused file.
11436 [Ulf Möller]
11437
11438 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11439 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11440 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11441 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11442 [Steve Henson]
11443
11444 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11445 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11446 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11447 of an error.
11448 [Bodo Moeller]
11449
11450 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11451 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11452 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11453
11454 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11455 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11456 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11457 comparison" warnings.
11458 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11459 [Steve Henson]
11460
11461 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11462 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11463 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11464 [Steve Henson]
11465
11466 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11467 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11468
11469 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11470 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11471
11472 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11473 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11474 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11475
11476 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11477 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11478 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11479 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11480 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11481 this bug.
11482 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11483
11484 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11485 The interface is as follows:
11486 Applications can use
11487 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11488 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11489 "off" is now the default.
11490 The library internally uses
11491 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11492 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11493 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11494
11495 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11496 even the default) are now avoided.
11497
11498 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11499 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11500 than just having a counter.
11501
11502 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11503
11504 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11505 extensions.
11506 [Bodo Moeller]
11507
11508 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11509 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11510 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11511 Initial "mode" flags are:
11512
11513 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11514 a single record has been written.
11515 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11516 retries use the same buffer location.
11517 (But all of the contents must be
11518 copied!)
11519 [Bodo Moeller]
11520
11521 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11522 worked.
11523
11524 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11525 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11526
11527 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11528 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11529 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11530 [Steve Henson]
11531
11532 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11533 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11534 test programs.
11535 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11536
11537 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11538 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11539 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11540 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11541 point to the end.
11542 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11543 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11544
11545 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11546 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11547 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11548 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11549 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11550 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11551 [Steve Henson]
11552
11553 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11554 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11555 necessary function names.
11556 [Steve Henson]
11557
11558 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11559 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11560 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11561 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11562 [Bodo Moeller]
11563
11564 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11565 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11566 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11567 [Steve Henson]
11568
11569 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11570 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11571 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11572 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11573 such programs?)
11574 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11575 need locks.
11576 [Bodo Moeller]
11577
11578 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11579 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11580 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11581 [Bodo Moeller]
11582
11583 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11584 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11585 appropriate.
11586 [Bodo Moeller]
11587
11588 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11589 for the encoded length.
11590 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11591
11592 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11593 [Steve Henson]
11594
11595 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11596 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11597 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11598 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11599 [Steve Henson]
11600
11601 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11602 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11603 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11604
11605 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11606 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11607 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11608 unusual formatting.
11609 [Steve Henson]
11610
11611 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11612 to use the new extension code.
11613 [Steve Henson]
11614
11615 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11616 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11617 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11618 constant.
11619 [Steve Henson]
11620
11621 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11622 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11623 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11624 [Bodo Moeller]
11625
11626 #if 0
11627 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11628 [Ben Laurie]
11629 #else
11630 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11631 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11632 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11633 #endif
11634
11635 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11636 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11637 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11638 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11639 [Ben Laurie]
11640
11641 *) DES library cleanups.
11642 [Ulf Möller]
11643
11644 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11645 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11646 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11647 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11648 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11649 of v2.0.
11650 [Steve Henson]
11651
11652 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11653 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11654 [Bodo Moeller]
11655
11656 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11657 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11658 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11659 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11660 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11661 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11662 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11663 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11664 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11665 [Steve Henson]
11666
11667 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11668 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11669 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11670 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11671 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11672 value doesn't matter.
11673 [Steve Henson]
11674
11675 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11676 support mutable.
11677 [Ben Laurie]
11678
11679 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11680 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11681 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11682 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11683
11684 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11685 [Ulf Möller]
11686
11687 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11688 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11689 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11690
11691 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11692 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11693
11694 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11695 [Ben Laurie]
11696
11697 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11698 [Ben Laurie]
11699
11700 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11701 [Ben Laurie]
11702
11703 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11704 [Bodo Moeller]
11705
11706
11707 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11708
11709 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11710
11711 *) Updated some demos.
11712 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11713
11714 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11715 [Wu Zhigang]
11716
11717 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11718 [Steve Henson]
11719
11720 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11721 [Steve Henson]
11722
11723 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11724 instead of using a fixed path.
11725 [Bodo Moeller]
11726
11727 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11728 [Andy Polyakov]
11729
11730 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11731 [Richard Levitte]
11732
11733
11734 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11735
11736 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11737 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11738 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11739
11740 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11741 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11742 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11743 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11744 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11745 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11746 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11747 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11748 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11749 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11750 [Steve Henson]
11751
11752 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11753 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11754 [Steve Henson]
11755
11756 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11757 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11758 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11759 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11760 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11761
11762 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11763 [Bodo Moeller]
11764
11765 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11766 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11767 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11768 [Steve Henson]
11769
11770 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11771 [Ben Laurie]
11772
11773 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11774 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11775 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11776 key elements as negative integers.
11777 [Steve Henson]
11778
11779 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11780 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11781
11782 *) VMS support.
11783 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11784
11785 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11786 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11787 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11788 [Steve Henson]
11789
11790 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11791 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11792 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11793 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11794 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11795 [Bodo Moeller]
11796
11797 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11798 [Ulf Möller]
11799
11800 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11801 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11802 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11803 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11804
11805 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11806 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11807 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11808
11809 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11810 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11811 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11812 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11813 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11814 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11815 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11816 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11817 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11818
11819 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11820 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11821 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11822 does not influence s as it used to.
11823
11824 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11825 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11826 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11827 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11828 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11829 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11830 [Bodo Moeller]
11831
11832 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11833 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11834 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11835 key type.
11836 [Steve Henson]
11837
11838 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11839 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11840 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11841 and 'x509').
11842 [Steve Henson]
11843
11844 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11845 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11846 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11847 extension option.
11848 [Steve Henson]
11849
11850 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11851 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11852 [Ben Laurie]
11853
11854 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11855 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11856
11857 *) Support Mingw32.
11858 [Ulf Möller]
11859
11860 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11861 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11862
11863 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11864 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11865
11866 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11867 [Ulf Möller]
11868
11869 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11870 [Anonymous]
11871
11872 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11873 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11874
11875 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11876 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11877 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11878 DER-encoded.)
11879 [Bodo Moeller]
11880
11881 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11882 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11883 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11884 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11885 now it really counts the depth.
11886 [Bodo Moeller]
11887
11888 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11889 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11890 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11891 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11892 didn't match the private key).
11893
11894 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11895 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11896 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11897 [Bodo Moeller]
11898
11899 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11900 [Ulf Möller]
11901
11902 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11903 David Harris.
11904 [Bodo Moeller]
11905
11906 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11907 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11908 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11909 [Bodo Moeller]
11910
11911 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11912 [Bodo Moeller]
11913
11914 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11915 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11916 such as /usr/local/bin.
11917 [Bodo Moeller]
11918
11919 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11920 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11921
11922 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11923 [Ulf Möller]
11924
11925 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11926 extension adding in x509 utility.
11927 [Steve Henson]
11928
11929 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11930 [Ulf Möller]
11931
11932 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11933 prototypes.
11934 [Steve Henson]
11935
11936 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11937 [Ulf Möller]
11938
11939 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11940 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11941 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11942 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11943 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11944 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11945 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11946 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11947 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11948 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11949 [Steve Henson]
11950
11951 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11952 [Bodo Moeller]
11953
11954 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11955 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11956 [Bodo Moeller]
11957
11958 *) Fix some race conditions.
11959 [Bodo Moeller]
11960
11961 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11962 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11963 [Steve Henson]
11964
11965 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11966 [Ulf Möller]
11967
11968 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11969 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11970 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11971 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11972
11973 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11974 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11975
11976 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11977 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11978 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11979
11980 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11981 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11982
11983 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11984 [Ulf Möller]
11985
11986 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11987 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11988
11989 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11990 [Ulf Möller]
11991
11992 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11993 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11994
11995 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11996 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11997 [Steve Henson]
11998
11999 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12000 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12001 [Ben Laurie]
12002
12003 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12004 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12005 [Steve Henson]
12006
12007 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12008 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12009 [Steve Henson]
12010
12011 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12012 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12013 [Steve Henson]
12014
12015 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12016 support typesafe stack.
12017 [Steve Henson]
12018
12019 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12020 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12021
12022 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12023 old X509V3 handling code.
12024 [Steve Henson]
12025
12026 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12027 [Ulf Möller]
12028
12029 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12030 [Bodo Moeller]
12031
12032 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12033 [Ben Laurie]
12034
12035 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12036 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12037
12038 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12039 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12040 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12041 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12042 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12043 [Ben Laurie]
12044
12045 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12046 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12047 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12048 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12049 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12050
12051 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12052 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12053 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12054 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12055
12056 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12057 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12058 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12059 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12060
12061 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12062 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12063 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12064 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12065 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12066 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12067 [Bodo Moeller]
12068
12069 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12070 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12071 [Bodo Moeller]
12072
12073 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12074 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12075 [Ulf Möller]
12076
12077 *) Tweaks to Configure
12078 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12079
12080 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12081 yet...
12082 [Steve Henson]
12083
12084 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12085 [Ulf Möller]
12086
12087 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12088 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12089 [Ulf Möller]
12090
12091 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12092 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12093 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12094 [Bodo Moeller]
12095
12096 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12097 [Bodo Moeller]
12098
12099 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12100 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12101 [Steve Henson]
12102
12103 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12104 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12105 to library startup routines.
12106 [Steve Henson]
12107
12108 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12109 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12110 codes along the way.
12111 [Steve Henson]
12112
12113 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12114 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12115 objects to objects.h
12116 [Steve Henson]
12117
12118 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12119 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12120 [Steve Henson]
12121
12122 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12123 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12124
12125 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12126 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12127 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12128
12129 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12130 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12131 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12132
12133 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12134 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12135 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12136
12137
12138 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12139
12140 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12141 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12142 [Ben Laurie]
12143
12144 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12145 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12146 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12147 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12148 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12149
12150 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12151 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12152 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12153 document.
12154 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12155
12156 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12157 Malloc, Free.
12158 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12159
12160 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12161 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12162
12163 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12164 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12165 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12166 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12167
12168 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12169 [Ben Laurie]
12170
12171 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12172 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12173 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12174 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12175 [Steve Henson]
12176
12177 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12178 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12179 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12180 [Steve Henson]
12181
12182 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12183 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12184 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12185 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12186 installed as `perl').
12187 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12188
12189 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12190 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12191
12192 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12193 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12194 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12195 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12196 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12197 [Steve Henson]
12198
12199 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12200 [Ben Laurie]
12201
12202 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12203 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12204 is horrible: I feel ill....
12205 [Steve Henson]
12206
12207 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12208 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12209 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12210 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12211 [Steve Henson]
12212
12213 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12214 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12215
12216 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12217 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12218 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12219 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12220
12221 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12222 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12223 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12224 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12225 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12226 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12227 openssl_bio.xs.
12228 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12229
12230 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12231 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12232
12233 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12234 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12235
12236 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12237 [Ben Laurie]
12238
12239 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12240 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12241 in CRLs.
12242 [Steve Henson]
12243
12244 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12245 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12246 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12247 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12248 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12249 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12250 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12251 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12252 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12253 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12254 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12255
12256 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12257 [Ben Laurie]
12258
12259 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12260 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12261 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12262 for linking it into DSOs.
12263 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12264
12265 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12266 Fixed.
12267 [Ben Laurie]
12268
12269 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12270 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12271 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12272 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12273 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12274 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12275
12276 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12277 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12278 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12279 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12280 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12281 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12282 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12283
12284 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12285 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12286 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12287 encryption.
12288 [Ben Laurie]
12289
12290 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12291 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12292 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12293 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12294 [Steve Henson]
12295
12296 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12297 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12298 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12299 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12300 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12301 field as blank.
12302 [Steve Henson]
12303
12304 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12305 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12306 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12307 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12308 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12309
12310 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12311 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12312 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12313
12314 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12315 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12316
12317 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12318 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12319 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12320 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12321 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12322 [Steve Henson]
12323
12324 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12325 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12326 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12327 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12328 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12329 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12330 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12331 [Ben Laurie]
12332
12333 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12334 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12335 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12336 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12337 [Ben Laurie]
12338
12339 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12340 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12341
12342 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12343 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12344 [Steve Henson]
12345
12346 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12347 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12348 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12349 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12350 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12351 (e.g. s_server).
12352 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12353 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12354 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12355 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12356 no way to reconfigure them.
12357 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12358 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12359 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12360 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12361 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12362 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12363
12364 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12365 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12366 recognized by the users.
12367 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12368
12369 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12370 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12371 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12372 already masked variable.
12373 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12374
12375 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12376 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12377
12378 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12379 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12380 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12381 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12382
12383 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12384 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12385 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12386
12387 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12388 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12389 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12390 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12391 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12392 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12393 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12394 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12395 now, too.
12396 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12397
12398 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12399 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12400 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12401
12402 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12403 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12404 config file.
12405 [Steve Henson]
12406
12407 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12408 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12409
12410 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12411 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12412 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12413 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12414 [Ben Laurie]
12415
12416 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12417 [Steve Henson]
12418
12419 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12420 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12421
12422 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12423 [Ben Laurie]
12424
12425 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12426 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12427 [Steve Henson]
12428
12429 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12430 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12431 [Steve Henson]
12432
12433 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12434 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12435 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12436 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12437 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12438 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12439 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12440 Ben Laurie]
12441
12442 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12443 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12444
12445 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12446 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12447 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12448 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12449 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12450
12451 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12452 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12453 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12454 [Steve Henson]
12455
12456 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12457 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12458 an example.
12459 [Steve Henson]
12460
12461 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12462 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12463 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12464
12465 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12466 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12467 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12468 build instructions.
12469 [Steve Henson]
12470
12471 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12472 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12473 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12474 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12475 [Steve Henson]
12476
12477 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12478 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12479 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12480 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12481 [Ben Laurie]
12482
12483 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12484 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12485 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12486 so it wasn't spotted.
12487 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12488
12489 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12490 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12491 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12492 vectors if you have them.
12493 [Ben Laurie]
12494
12495 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12496 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12497 [Ben Laurie]
12498
12499 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12500 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12501 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12502 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12503 If you do a:
12504 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12505 it will update them.
12506 [Steve Henson]
12507
12508 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12509 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12510 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12511 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12512 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12513 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12514 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12515 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12516
12517 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12518 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12519 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12520 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12521 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12522 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12523 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12524 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12525 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12526 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12527
12528 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12529 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12530 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12531 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12532 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12533 [Steve Henson]
12534
12535 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12536 INTEGER code.
12537 [Steve Henson]
12538
12539 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12540 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12541
12542 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12543 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12544
12545 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12546 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12547 [Ben Laurie]
12548
12549 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12550 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12551
12552 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12553 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12554
12555 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12556 [Steve Henson]
12557
12558 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12559 few typos.
12560 [Steve Henson]
12561
12562 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12563 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12564 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12565 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12566
12567 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12568 [Steve Henson]
12569
12570 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12571 [Steve Henson]
12572
12573 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12574 [Steve Henson]
12575
12576 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12577 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12578 [Steve Henson]
12579
12580 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12581 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12582 CA extensions.
12583 [Steve Henson]
12584
12585 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12586 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12587 [Steve Henson]
12588
12589 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12590 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12591 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12592 [Steve Henson]
12593
12594 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12595 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12596 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12597 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12598 properly to be processed.
12599 [Steve Henson]
12600
12601 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12602 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12603 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12604 [Ben Laurie]
12605
12606 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12607 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12608
12609 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12610 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12611 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12612 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12613 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12614 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12615 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12616 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12617 or delete all the .err files.
12618 [Steve Henson]
12619
12620 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12621 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12622 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12623 to regenerate it if needed.
12624 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12625 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12626
12627 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12628 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12629
12630 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12631 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12632 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12633 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12634 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12635 [Steve Henson]
12636
12637 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12638 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12639
12640 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12641 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12642
12643 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12644 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12645 error, but didn't set one).
12646 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12647
12648 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12649 [Ben Laurie]
12650
12651 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12652 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12653 [Steve Henson]
12654
12655 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12656 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12657
12658 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12659 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12660 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12661 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12662 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12663 OID is not part of the table.
12664 [Steve Henson]
12665
12666 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12667 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12668 [Ben Laurie]
12669
12670 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12671 [Ben Laurie]
12672
12673 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12674 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12675 was "1234").
12676 [Steve Henson]
12677
12678 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12679 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12680
12681 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12682 NULL pointers.
12683 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12684
12685 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12686 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12687
12688 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12689 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12690
12691 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12692 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12693
12694 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12695 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12696 [Ben Laurie]
12697
12698 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12699 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12700 [Steve Henson]
12701
12702 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12703 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12704
12705 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12706 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12707
12708 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12709 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12710
12711 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12712 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12713
12714 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12715 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12716 unused in the certificate verification process.
12717 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12718
12719 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12720 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12721 [Steve Henson]
12722
12723 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12724 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12725 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12726
12727 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12728 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12729 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12730 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12731 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12732
12733 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12734 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12735 [Steve Henson]
12736
12737 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12738 [Steve Henson]
12739
12740 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12741 [Paul Sutton]
12742
12743 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12744 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12745
12746 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12747 [Ben Laurie]
12748
12749 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12750 [Ben Laurie]
12751
12752 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12753 [Ben Laurie]
12754
12755 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12756 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12757 other error libraries.
12758 [Steve Henson]
12759
12760 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12761 [Steve Henson]
12762
12763 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12764 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12765 be read in.
12766 [Steve Henson]
12767
12768 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12769 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12770 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12771 the new set of documentation files.
12772 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12773
12774 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12775 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12776 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12777 number of arguments.
12778 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12779
12780 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12781 [Ben Laurie]
12782
12783 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12784 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12785 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12786
12787 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12788 [Ben Laurie]
12789
12790 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12791 nextstep
12792 ncr-scde
12793 unixware-2.0
12794 unixware-2.0-pentium
12795 sco5-cc.
12796 [Ben Laurie]
12797
12798 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12799 before they are needed.
12800 [Ben Laurie]
12801
12802 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12803 [Ben Laurie]
12804
12805
12806 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12807
12808 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12809 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12810 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12811
12812 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12813 [Paul Sutton]
12814
12815 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12816 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12817 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12818
12819 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12820 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12821 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12822
12823 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12824 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12825 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12826
12827 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12828 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12829
12830 *) Updated the README file.
12831 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12832
12833 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12834 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12835 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12836
12837 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12838 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12839 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12840
