10 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
13 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
14 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
15 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
16 http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf
17 [Paul Dale]
18
19 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
20
21 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
22 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
23 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
24 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
25 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
26 of the ClientHello
27 [Benjamin Kaduk]
28
29 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
30 [Jack Lloyd]
31
32 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
33 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
34 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
35 [Patrick Steuer]
36
37 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
38 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
39 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
40 [Richard Levitte]
41
42 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
43 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
44 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
45 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
46 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
47 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
48 to work in projective coordinates.
49 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
50
51 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
52 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
53 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
54 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
55 to 2^-128.
56 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
57
58 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
59 [Kurt Roeckx]
60
61 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
62 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
63 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
64 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
65 [Richard Levitte]
66
67 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
68 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
69 [Andy Polyakov]
70
71 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
72 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
73 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
74 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
75 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
76
77 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
78 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
79 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
80 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
81 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
82 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
83
84 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
85 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
86 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
87 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
88 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
89 [Paul Dale]
90
91 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
92 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
93 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
94 authors.
95 [Matt Caswell]
96
97 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
98 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
99 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
100 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
101 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
102 multi-version installation is managed.
103 [Andy Polyakov]
104
105 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
106 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
107 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
108 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
109 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
110 [Billy Bob Brumley]
111
112 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
113 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
114 chosen point SCA attacks.
115 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
116
117 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
118 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
119 [Matt Caswell]
120
121 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
122 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
123 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
124 [Matt Caswell]
125
126 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
127 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
128 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
129 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
130 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
131 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
132 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
133 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
134 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
135 [Kurt Roeckx]
136
137 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
138 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
139 [Richard Levitte]
140
141 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
142 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
143 [Billy Bob Brumley]
144
145 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
146 binary and prime elliptic curves.
147 [Billy Bob Brumley]
148
149 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
150 constant time fixed point multiplication.
151 [Billy Bob Brumley]
152
153 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
154 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
155 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
156 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
157 ECDH derive operations).
158 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
159 Sohaib ul Hassan]
160
161 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
162 [Rich Salz]
163
164 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
165 randomness from the system.
166 [Matthias St. Pierre]
167
168 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
169 [Richard Levitte]
170
171 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
172 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
173 [Matt Caswell]
174
175 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
176 [Matt Caswell]
177
178 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
179 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
180
181 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
182 [Richard Levitte]
183
184 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
185 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
186 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
187 [Matt Caswell]
188
189 *) Memory allocation failures consistenly add an error to the error
190 stack.
191 [Rich Salz]
192
193 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
194 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
195 [Bernd Edlinger]
196
197 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
198 [Matt Caswell]
199
200 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
201 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
202 [Matthias St. Pierre]
203
204 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
205 for the license change).
206 [Rich Salz]
207
208 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
209 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
210 [Matt Caswell]
211
212 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
213 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
214 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
215 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
216 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
217 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
218 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
219 [Matt Caswell]
220
221 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
222 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
223 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
224 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
225 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
226 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
227 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
228 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
229 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
230 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
231 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
232 written to stderr.
233 [Viktor Dukhovni]
234
235 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
236 Mike Hamburg.
237 [Matt Caswell]
238
239 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
240 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
241 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
242 get the search data out of them.
243 [Richard Levitte]
244
245 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
246 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
247 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
248 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
249 [Matt Caswell]
250
251 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
252
253 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
254 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
255 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
256 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
257 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
258 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
259
260 Some of its new features are:
261 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
262 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
263 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
264 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
265 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
266 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
267 operation
268 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
269
270 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
271 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
272 to display all sorts of configuration data.
273 [Richard Levitte]
274
275 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
276 [Richard Levitte]
277
278 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
279 [Paul Dale]
280
281 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
282 now been removed.
283 [Rich Salz]
284
285 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
286 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
287 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
288 debug (or make silent).
289 [Richard Levitte]
290
291 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
292 arguments to config / Configure.
293 [Richard Levitte]
294
295 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
296 [Paul Yang]
297
298 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
299 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
300 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
301 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
302
303 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
304 as documented in RFC6066.
305 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
306 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
307
308 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
309 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
310 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
311 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
312
313 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
314 original author does not agree with the license change.
315 [Rich Salz]
316
317 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
318 [Jon Spillett]
319
320 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
321 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
322 [Rich Salz]
323
324 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
325 without clearing the errors.
326 [Richard Levitte]
327
328 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
329 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
330 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
331 [Rich Salz]
332
333 *) Add SHA3.
334 [Andy Polyakov]
335
336 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
337 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
338 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
339 as a fallback).
340
341 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
342 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
343 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
344 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
345 [Richard Levitte]
346
347 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
348 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
349 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
350 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
351 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
352 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
353 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
354 [Richard Levitte]
355
356 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
357 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
358 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
359 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
360 [Richard Levitte]
361
362 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
363 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
364 error code calls like this:
365
366 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
367
368 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
369 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
370 affect new modules.
371 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
372
373 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
374 [Rich Salz]
375
376 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
377 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
378 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
379 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
380 [Richard Levitte]
381
382 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
383 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
384 than just the call where this user data is passed.
385 [Richard Levitte]
386
387 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
388 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
389 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
390
391 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
392 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
393 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
394 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
395 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
396 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
397 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
398 issues.
399 [Matt Caswell]
400
401 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
402 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
403 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
404 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
405 [Richard Levitte]
406
407 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
408 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
409 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
410
411 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
412 does for RSA, etc.
413 [Richard Levitte]
414
415 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
416 platform rather than 'mingw'.
417 [Richard Levitte]
418
419 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
420 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
421 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
422 certificates and CRLs.
423 [Paul Dale]
424
425 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
426 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
427 [Andy Polyakov]
428
429 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
430 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
431 [Richard Levitte]
432
433 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
434 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
435 which is the minimum version we support.
436 [Richard Levitte]
437
438 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
439 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
440 are no longer allowed.
441 [Emilia Käsper]
442
443 *) Add support for ARIA
444 [Paul Dale]
445
446 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
447 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
448 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
449 using "-servername".
450 [Matt Caswell]
451
452 *) Add support for SipHash
453 [Todd Short]
454
455 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
456 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
457 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
458 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
459 [Matt Caswell]
460
461 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
462 using the algorithm defined in
463 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
464 [Richard Levitte]
465
466 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
467 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
468
469 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
470 [Emilia Käsper]
471
472 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
473 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
474 [Rich Salz]
475
476
477 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
478
479 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
480
481 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
482 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
483 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
484 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
485 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
486
487 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
488 (CVE-2018-0732)
489 [Guido Vranken]
490
491 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
492
493 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
494 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
495 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
496 recover the private key.
497
498 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
499 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
500 (CVE-2018-0737)
501 [Billy Brumley]
502
503 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
504 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
505 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
506 [Richard Levitte]
507
508 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
509 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
510 [Andy Polyakov]
511
512 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
513 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
514 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
515 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
516 to 2^-128.
517 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
518
519 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
520 [Kurt Roeckx]
521
522 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
523 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
524 [Matt Caswell]
525
526 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
527 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
528 [Richard Levitte]
529
530 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
531 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
532 are no longer allowed.
533 [Emilia Käsper]
534
535 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
536
537 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
538 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
539 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
540 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
541 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
542 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
543 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
544 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
545 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
546 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
547 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
548 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
549 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).

552 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
553
554 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
555
556 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
557 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
558 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
559 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
560 so this is considered safe.
561
562 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
563 project.
564 (CVE-2018-0739)
565 [Matt Caswell]
566
567 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
568
569 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
570 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
571 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
572 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
573 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
574 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
575
576 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
577 (IBM).
578 (CVE-2018-0733)
579 [Andy Polyakov]
580
581 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
582 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
583 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
584 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
585 [Richard Levitte]
586
587 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
588
589 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
590 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
591 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
592 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
593 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
594
595 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
596 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
597 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
598 [Matt Caswell]
599
600 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
601 exist.
602 [Rich Salz]
603
604 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
605
606 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
607 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
608 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
609 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
610 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
611 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
612 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
613 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
614 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
615 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
616
617 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
618 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
619
620 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
621 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
622 (CVE-2017-3738)
623 [Andy Polyakov]
624
625 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
626
627 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
628
629 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
630 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
631 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
632 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
633 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
634 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
635 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
636 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
637 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
638 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
639 key that is shared between multiple clients.
640
641 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
642 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
643
644 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
645 (CVE-2017-3736)
646 [Andy Polyakov]
647
648 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
649
650 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
651 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
652 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
653
654 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
655 (CVE-2017-3735)
656 [Rich Salz]
657
658 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
659
660 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
661 platform rather than 'mingw'.
662 [Richard Levitte]
663
664 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
665 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
666 which is the minimum version we support.
667 [Richard Levitte]
668
669 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
670
671 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
672
673 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
674 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
675 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
676 and servers are affected.
677
678 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
679 (CVE-2017-3733)
680 [Matt Caswell]
681
682 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
683
684 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
685
686 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
687 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
688 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
689
690 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
691 (CVE-2017-3731)
692 [Andy Polyakov]
693
694 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
695
696 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
697 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
698 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
699 of Service attack.
700
701 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
702 (CVE-2017-3730)
703 [Matt Caswell]
704
705 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
706
707 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
708 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
709 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
710 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
711 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
712 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
713 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
714 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
715 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
716 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
717 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
718 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
719 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
720
721 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
722 (CVE-2017-3732)
723 [Andy Polyakov]
724
725 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
726
727 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
728
729 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
730 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
731 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
732
733 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
734 (CVE-2016-7054)
735 [Richard Levitte]
736
737 *) CMS Null dereference
738
739 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
740 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
741 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
742 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
743 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
744 affected.
745
746 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
747 (CVE-2016-7053)
748 [Stephen Henson]
749
750 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
751
752 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
753 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
754 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
755 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
756 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
757 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
758 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
759 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
760 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
761 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
762 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
763 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
764 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
765 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
766
767 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
768 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
769 providing reproducible case.
770 (CVE-2016-7055)
771 [Andy Polyakov]
772
773 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
774 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
775 [Richard Levitte]
776
777 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
778
779 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
780
781 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
782 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
783 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
784 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
785 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
786 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
787
788 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
789
790 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
791 (CVE-2016-6309)
792 [Matt Caswell]
793
794 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
795
796 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
797
798 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
799 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
800 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
801 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
802 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
803 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
804 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.

807 (CVE-2016-6304)
808 [Matt Caswell]
809
810 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
811
812 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
813 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
814 Denial Of Service attack.
815
816 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
817 (CVE-2016-6305)
818 [Matt Caswell]
819
820 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
821 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
822
823 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
824 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
825 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
826 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
827 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
828 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
829 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
830 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
831 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
832 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
833 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
834 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
835 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
836 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
837 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
838
839 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
840 that the connection fails
841 or
842 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
843 very little free memory
844 or
845 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
846 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
847 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
848 memory to service the multiple requests.
849
850 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
851 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
852 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
853 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
854 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

857 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
858 [Matt Caswell]
859
860 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
861 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
862 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
863 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
864 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
865 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
866 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
867 [Andy Polyakov]
868
869 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
870
871 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
872 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
873 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
874 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
875 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
876 non-ASCII password.
877 [Andy Polyakov]
878
879 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
880 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
881 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
882 [Rich Salz]
883
884 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
885 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
886 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
887 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
888 [Matt Caswell]
889
890 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
891 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
892 success.
893 [Matt Caswell]
894
895 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
896 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
897 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
898 no-ops and deprecated.
899 [Matt Caswell]
900
901 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
902 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
903 were also closed.
904 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
905
906 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
907 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
908 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
909 [Rich Salz]
910
911 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
912 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
913 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
914 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
915 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
916 and the validity of object reference counter.
917 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
918
919 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
920 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
921 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
922 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
923 [Richard Levitte]
924
925 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
926 [Richard Levitte]
927
928 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
929 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
930 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
931 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
932
933 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
934
935 [Richard Levitte]
936
937 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
938 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
939 [Steve Henson]
940
941 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
942 [Andy Polyakov]
943
944 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
945 [Rich Salz]
946
947 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
948 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
949 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
950 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
951 name and is used as is.
952 [Richard Levitte]
953
954 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
955 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
956 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
957 [Rich Salz]
958
959 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
960 the "no-shared" Configure option.
961 [Matt Caswell]
962
963 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
964 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
965 algorithms.
966 [Matt Caswell]
967
968 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
969 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
970 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
971 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
972 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
973 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
974 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
975 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
976 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
977 [Matt Caswell]
978
979 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
980 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
981 enabled with '--debug' builds.
982 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
983
984 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
985 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
986 these have been added.
987 [Matt Caswell]
988
989 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
990 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
991 functions for managing these have been added.
992 [Richard Levitte]
993
994 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
995 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
996 these have been added.
997 [Matt Caswell]
998
999 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1000 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1001 have been added.
1002 [Matt Caswell]
1003
1004 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1005 [Matt Caswell]
1006
1007 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1008 [Richard Levitte]
1009
1010 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1011 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1012 [Rich Salz]
1013
1014 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1015 [Richard Levitte]
1016
1017 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1018 [Rich Salz]
1019
1020 *) Add support for HKDF.
1021 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1022
1023 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1024 [Bill Cox]
1025
1026 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1027 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1028 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1029 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1030 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1031 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1032 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1033 [Matt Caswell]
1034
1035 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1036 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1037 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1038 [Catriona Lucey]
1039
1040 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1041 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1042 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1043 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1044 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1045 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1046 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1047
1048 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1049 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1050 [Todd Short]
1051
1052 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1053 [Todd Short]
1054
1055 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1056 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1057 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1058 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1059 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1060 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1061 default cipherlist.
1062 [Emilia Käsper]
1063
1064 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1065 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1066 [Rich Salz]
1067
1068 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1069 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1070 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1071 [Matt Caswell]
1072
1073 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1074 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1075 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1076 implemented by other servers.
1077 [Emilia Käsper]
1078
1079 *) Add X25519 support.
1080 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1081 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1082 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1083 key generation and key derivation.
1084
1085 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1086 X25519(29).
1087 [Steve Henson]
1088
1089 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1090 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1091 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1092 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1093 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1094
1095 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1096 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1097 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1098 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1099 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1100 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1101 that of a valid user.
1102 [Emilia Käsper]
1103
1104 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1105 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1106 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1107 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1108
1109 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1110 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1111
1112 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1113 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1114 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1115 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1116
1117 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1118 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1119 irrelevant.
1120 [Richard Levitte]
1121
1122 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1123 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1124 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1125 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1126 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1127 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1128
1129 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1130 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1131 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1132 [Richard Levitte]
1133
1134 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1135 [Rich Salz]
1136
1137 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1138 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1139 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1140 removed.
1141 [Richard Levitte]
1142
1143 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1144 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1145 old #define's might need to be updated.
1146 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1147
1148 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1149 [Rich Salz]
1150
1151 *) New "unified" build system
1152
1153 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1154 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1155
1156 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1157 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1158 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1159
1160 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1161 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1162 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1163 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1164 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1165
1166 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1167 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1168 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1169 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1170 libraries" in INSTALL.
1171
1172 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1173 [Richard Levitte]
1174
1175 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1176 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1177 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1178 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1179 [Matt Caswell]
1180
1181 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1182 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1183
1184 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1185 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1186 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1187 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1188 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1189 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1190 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1191 have been adapted accordingly.
1192 [Richard Levitte]
1193
1194 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1195 the leading 0-byte.
1196 [Emilia Käsper]
1197
1198 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1199 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1200 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1201 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1202 [Emilia Käsper]
1203
1204 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1205 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1206 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1207 'unsigned char*'.
1208 [Emilia Käsper]
1209
1210 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1211 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1212 [Emilia Käsper]
1213
1214 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1215 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1216 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1217 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1218 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1219 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1220 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1221
1222 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1223 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1224
1225 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1226 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1227 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1228 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1229 Text::Template.
1230
1231 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1232 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1233 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1234 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1235 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1236 %target).
1237 [Richard Levitte]
1238
1239 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1240 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1241 straightforward and less interdependent.
1242
1243 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1244 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1245 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1246
1247 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1248 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1249 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1250 installed.
1251 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1252 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1253 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1254 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1255
1256 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1257 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1258 [Richard Levitte]
1259
1260 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1261 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1262 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1263 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1264 is present).
1265 [Matt Caswell]
1266
1267 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1268 configuring.
1269 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1270
1271 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1272 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1273 before trying to build now.*
1274 [Rich Salz]
1275
1276 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1277 has changed.
1278 [Rich Salz]
1279
1280 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1281
1282 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1283 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1284 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1285 used to authenticate the peer.
1286
1287 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1288 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1289 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1290 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1291 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1292 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1293
1294 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1295 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1296 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1297 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1298 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1299 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1300
1301 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1302 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1303 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1304 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1305 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1306 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1307 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1308 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1309 version.
1310
1311 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1312 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1313 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1314 compile with later releases.
1315
1316 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1317 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1318 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1319 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1320 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1321 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1322
1323 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1324 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1325 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1326 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1327 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1328 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1329 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1330 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1331 [Kurt Roeckx]
1332
1333 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1334 [Andy Polyakov]
1335
1336 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1337 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1338 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1339 ECDSA_SIG format.
1340
1341 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1342 include the ec.h header file instead.
1343 [Steve Henson]
1344
1345 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1346 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1347 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1348 [Kurt Roeckx]
1349
1350 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1351 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1352 were added:
1353
1354 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1355 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1356
1357 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1358 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1359 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1360
1361 Additional changes:
1362 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1363 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1364 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1365 an already created structure.
1366 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1367 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1368 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1369 for deprecated builds.
1370 [Richard Levitte]
1371
1372 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1373 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1374 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1375 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1376 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1377 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1378 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1379 [Matt Caswell]
1380
1381 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1382 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1383 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1384 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1385 [Kurt Roeckx]
1386
1387 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1388 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1389 [Kurt Roeckx]
1390
1391 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1392 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1393 [Kurt Roeckx]
1394
1395 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1396 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1397 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1398 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1399 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1400 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1401 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1402 also been removed.
1403 [Matt Caswell]
1404
1405 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1406 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1407 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1408 [Rich Salz]
1409
1410 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1411 [Rich Salz]
1412
1413 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1414 sureware and ubsec.
1415 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1416
1417 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1418
1419 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1420 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1421
1422 FOO *x;
1423
1424 it must be:
1425
1426 FOO x;
1427
1428 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1429 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1430
1431 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1432 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1433 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1434 SEQUENCE OF.
1435 [Steve Henson]
1436
1437 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1438 [Emilia Käsper]
1439
1440 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1441 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1442 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1443 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1444 [Matt Caswell]
1445
1446 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1447 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1448 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1449 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1450 [Emilia Käsper]
1451
1452 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1453 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1454 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1455
1456 *) New testing framework
1457 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1458 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1459 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1460 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1461 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1462 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1463
1464 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1465
1466 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1467 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1468
1469 [Richard Levitte]
1470
1471 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1472 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1473 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1474 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1475 [Rich Salz]
1476
1477 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1478 return an error
1479 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1480
1481 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1482 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1483
1484 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1485 original RSA_PSK patch.
1486 [Steve Henson]
1487
1488 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1489 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1490 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1491 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1492 [Matt Caswell]
1493
1494 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1495 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1496 [Richard Levitte]
1497
1498 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1499 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1500 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1501 [Emilia Käsper]
1502
1503 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1504 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1505 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1506 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1507 transferred.
1508 [Matt Caswell]
1509
1510 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1511 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1512 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1513 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1514 [Matt Caswell]
1515
1516 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1517 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1518 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1519 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1520 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1521 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1522 [Matt Caswell]
1523
1524 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1525 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1526 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1527 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1528 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1529 header file has been removed.
1530 [Matt Caswell]
1531
1532 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1533 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1534 [Matt Caswell]
1535
1536 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1537 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1538 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1539
1540 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1541 Added a test.
1542 [Rich Salz]
1543
1544 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1545 [Rich Salz]
1546
1547 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1548 sha256
1549 [Rich Salz]
1550
1551 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1552 [Matt Caswell]
1553
1554 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1555 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1556 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1557 [Steve Henson]
1558
1559 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1560 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1561 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1562 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1563 [Matt Caswell]
1564
1565 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1566 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1567 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1568 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1569 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1570 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1571 [Matt Caswell]
1572
1573 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1574 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1575 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1576 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1577 [Matt Caswell]
1578
1579 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1580 compatible client hello.
1581 [Kurt Roeckx]
1582
1583 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1584 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1585 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1586
1587 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1588 [Rich Salz]
1589
1590 *) Removed old DES API.
1591 [Rich Salz]
1592
1593 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1594 Sony NEWS4
1595 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1596 NeXT
1597 SUNOS
1598 MPE/iX
1599 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1600 DGUX
1601 NCR
1602 Tandem
1603 Cray
1604 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1605 [Rich Salz]
1606
1607 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1608 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1609 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1610 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1611 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1612 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1613 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1614 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1615 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1616 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1617 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1618 [Rich Salz]
1619
1620 *) Cleaned up dead code
1621 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1622 [Rich Salz]
1623
1624 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1625 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1626 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1627 [Rich Salz]
1628
1629 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1630 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1631 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1632 [Rich Salz]
1633
1634 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1635 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1636 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1637
1638 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1639 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1640 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1641
1642 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1643 compilation flags.
1644 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1645
1646 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1647 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1648 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1649
1650 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1651 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1652
1653 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1654 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1655 server.
1656
1657 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1658 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1659 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1660 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1661
1662 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1663 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1664 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1665 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1666
1667 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1668 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1669 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1670
1671 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1672 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1673 [Steve Henson]
1674
1675 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1676
1677 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1678 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1679
1680 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1681 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1682
1683 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1684 effect.
1685
1686 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1687
1688 [Steve Henson]
1689
1690 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1691 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1692 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1693 algorithms and include tests cases.
1694 [Steve Henson]
1695
1696 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1697 enveloped data.
1698 [Steve Henson]
1699
1700 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1701 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1702 [Steve Henson]
1703
1704 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1705 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1706
1707 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1708 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1709 [Steve Henson]
1710
1711 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1712 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1713 failures.
1714 [Steve Henson]
1715
1716 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1717 sign or verify all in one operation.
1718 [Steve Henson]
1719
1720 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1721 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1722 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1723 [Steve Henson]
1724
1725 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1726 [Steve Henson]
1727
1728 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1729 [Steve Henson]
1730
1731 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1732 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1733 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1734 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1735 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1736 [Steve Henson]
1737
1738 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1739 based on NID.
1740 [Steve Henson]
1741
1742 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1743 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1744 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1745 [Steve Henson]
1746
1747 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1748 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1749
1750 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1751 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1752 [Steve Henson]
1753
1754 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1755 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1756 [Steve Henson]
1757
1758 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1759 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1760 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1761 [Steve Henson]
1762
1763 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1764 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1765 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1766 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1767 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1768 requested amount of entropy.
1769 [Steve Henson]
1770
1771 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1772 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1773 [Steve Henson]
1774
1775 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1776 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1777 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1778 support.
1779 [Steve Henson]
1780
1781 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1782 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1783 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1784 [Steve Henson]
1785
1786 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1787 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1788 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1789 will never use XTS mode.
1790 [Steve Henson]
1791
1792 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1793 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1794 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1795 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1796 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1797 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1798 [Steve Henson]
1799
1800 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1801 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1802 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1803 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1804 [Steve Henson]
1805
1806 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1807 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1808 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1809 [Steve Henson]
1810
1811 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1812 [Steve Henson]
1813
1814 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1815 [Steve Henson]
1816
1817 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1818 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1819 [Steve Henson]
1820
1821 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1822 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1823 [Steve Henson]
1824
1825 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1826 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1827 [Steve Henson]
1828
1829 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1830 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1831 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1832 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1833 and rename any affected symbols.
1834 [Steve Henson]
1835
1836 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1837 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1838 [Steve Henson]
1839
1840 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1841 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1842 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1843 [Steve Henson]
1844
1845 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1846 [Steve Henson]
1847
1848 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1849 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1850 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1851 [Steve Henson]
1852
1853 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1854 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1855 [Steve Henson]
1856
1857 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1858 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1859 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1860 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1861 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1862 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1863 set before the key.
1864 [Steve Henson]
1865
1866 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1867 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1868 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1869 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1870 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1871 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1872 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1873 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1874 [Steve Henson]
1875
1876 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1877 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1878 [Steve Henson]
1879
1880 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1881
1882 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1883 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1884
1885 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1886 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1887 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1888 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1889 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1890 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1891
1892 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1893 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1894 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1895 security.
1896 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1897
1898 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1899 parameters by name.
1900 [Steve Henson]
1901
1902 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1903 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1904 [Steve Henson]
1905
1906 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1907 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1908 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1909 [Steve Henson]
1910
1911 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1912 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1913 multi-process servers.
1914 [Steve Henson]
1915
1916 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1917 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1918 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1919 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1920 RAND_METHOD structure.
1921 [Steve Henson]
1922
1923 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1924 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1925 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1926 whose return value is often ignored.
1927 [Steve Henson]
1928
1929 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1930 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1931 validated when establishing a connection.
1932 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]

1934 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1935
1936 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1937
1938 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1939 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1940 AES-NI.
1941
1942 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1943 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1944 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1945 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1946 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1947 bytes.
1948
1949 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1950 (CVE-2016-2107)
1951 [Kurt Roeckx]
1952
1953 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1954
1955 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1956 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1957 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1958 corruption.
1959
1960 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1961 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1962 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1963 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1964 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1965 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1966
1967 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1968 (CVE-2016-2105)
1969 [Matt Caswell]
1970
1971 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1972
1973 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1974 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1975 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1976 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1977 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1978 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1979 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1980 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1981 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1982 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1983 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1984 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1985 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1986 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1987 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1988 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1989
1990 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1991 (CVE-2016-2106)
1992 [Matt Caswell]
1993
1994 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1995
1996 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1997 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1998 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1999
2000 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2001 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2002 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2003 applications are not affected.

2005 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2006 (CVE-2016-2109)
2007 [Stephen Henson]
2008
2009 *) EBCDIC overread
2010
2011 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2012 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2013 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
2014
2015 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2016 (CVE-2016-2176)
2017 [Matt Caswell]
2018
2019 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
2020 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2021 [Todd Short]
2022
2023 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
2024 default.
2025 [Kurt Roeckx]
2026
2027 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
2028 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
2029 [Kurt Roeckx]
2030
2031 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2032
2033 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2034 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2035 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2036 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2037
2038 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2039 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2040 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2041 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2042 will need to explicitly call either of:
2043
2044 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2045 or
2046 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2047
2048 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2049 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2050 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2051 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2052 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
2053 (CVE-2016-0800)
2054 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2055
2056 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2057
2058 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2059 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2060 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2061 considered rare.
2062
2063 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2064 libFuzzer.
2065 (CVE-2016-0705)
2066 [Stephen Henson]
2067
2068 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2069
2070 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2071
2072 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2073 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2074 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2075 is configured.
2076
2077 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2078 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2079 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2080 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2081 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2082 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2083 that of a valid user.
2084 (CVE-2016-0798)
2085 [Emilia Käsper]
2086
2087 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2088
2089 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2090 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2091 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2092 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2093 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2094 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2095 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2096 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2097 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2098 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2099 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2100
2101 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2102 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2103 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2104 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2105 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2106
2107 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2108 (CVE-2016-0797)
2109 [Matt Caswell]
2110
2111 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2112
2113 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2114 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2115 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2116
2117 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2118 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2119 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2120 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2121 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2122 also occur.
2123
2124 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2125 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2126 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2127 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2128 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2129 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2130 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2131 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2132 as command line arguments.
2133
2134 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2135 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2136 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2137
2138 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
2139 (CVE-2016-0799)
2140 [Matt Caswell]
2141
2142 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2143
2144 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2145 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2146 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2147 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2148 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2149
2150 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2151 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
2152 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
2153 http://cachebleed.info.

2155 [Andy Polyakov]
2156
2157 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
2158 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2159 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2160 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
2161 [Emilia Käsper]
2162
2163 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2164 *) DH small subgroups
2165
2166 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2167 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2168 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2169 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2170 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2171 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2172 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2173 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2174 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2175 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2176
2177 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2178 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2179 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2180 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2181 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2182
2183 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2184 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2185 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2186 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2187
2188 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2189 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2190
2191 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
2192 (CVE-2016-0701)
2193 [Matt Caswell]
2194
2195 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2196
2197 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2198 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2199 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2200 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
2201
2202 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
2203 and Sebastian Schinzel.

2207 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
2208
2209 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2210
2211 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2212 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2213 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2214 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2215 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2216 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2217 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2218 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2219 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2220 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2221 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2222 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2224 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
2225 (CVE-2015-3193)
2226 [Andy Polyakov]
2227
2228 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2229
2230 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2231 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2232 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2233 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2234 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2235 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2236 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2237 authentication.
2238
2239 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).

2241 [Stephen Henson]
2242
2243 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
2244
2245 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
2246 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2247 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2248 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
2249
2250 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
2251 libFuzzer.

2253 [Stephen Henson]
2254
2255 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2256 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,

2266
2267 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2268
2269 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2270 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2271 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2272 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2273 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2274 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
2275
2276 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
2277 (Google/BoringSSL).

2287 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
2288
2289 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2290
2291 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2292 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2293 field.
2294
2295 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2296 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2297 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2298 client authentication enabled.
2299
2300 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
2301 (CVE-2015-1788)
2302 [Andy Polyakov]
2303
2304 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2305
2306 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2307 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2308 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2309 time string.
2310
2311 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2312 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2313 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2314 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2315 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2316 callbacks.
2317
2318 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
2319 independently by Hanno Böck.

2322
2323 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2324
2325 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2326 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2327 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2328
2329 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2330 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2331 servers are not affected.

2335 [Emilia Käsper]
2336
2337 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2338
2339 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2340 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2341 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2342 the CMS code.

2362 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2363
2364 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2365 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2366 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2367
2368 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2369 University.
2370 (CVE-2015-0291)
2371 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2372
2373 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2374
2375 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2376 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2377 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2378 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2379 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2380 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2381 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2382 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2383
2384 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2385 (CVE-2015-0290)
2386 [Matt Caswell]
2387
2388 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2389
2390 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2391 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2392 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2393 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2394 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2395 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2396 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2397 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2398 server.

2401 (CVE-2015-0207)
2402 [Matt Caswell]
2403
2404 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2405
2406 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2407 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2408 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2409 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2410 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2411 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2412 (CVE-2015-0286)
2413 [Stephen Henson]
2414
2415 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2416
2417 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2418 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2419 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2420 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2421 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2422 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2423 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

2426 (CVE-2015-0208)
2427 [Stephen Henson]
2428
2429 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2430
2431 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2432 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2433 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2434
2435 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2436 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2437 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2438 not affected.

2441
2442 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2443
2444 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2445 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2446 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2447
2448 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2449 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2450 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.

2456 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2457
2458 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2459 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2460 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.

2465 [Emilia Käsper]
2466
2467 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2468
2469 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2470 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2471 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2472 (CVE-2015-1787)
2473 [Matt Caswell]
2474
2475 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2476
2477 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2478 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2479 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2480 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2481 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2482 SSL_client_methodv23)
2483 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2484 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2485
2486 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2487 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2488 output may be predictable.
2489
2490 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2491 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2492
2493 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2494 (CVE-2015-0285)
2495 [Matt Caswell]
2496
2497 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2498
2499 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2500 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2501 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2502 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2503 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2504 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2505
2506 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2507 commit 517073cd4b.
2508 (CVE-2015-0209)
2509 [Matt Caswell]
2510
2511 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2512
2513 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2514 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2515
2516 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2517 (CVE-2015-0288)
2518 [Stephen Henson]
2519
2520 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2521 [Kurt Roeckx]
2522
2523 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2524
2525 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2526 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2527 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2528 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2529 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2530 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2531 [Andy Polyakov]
2532
2533 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2534 (other platforms pending).
2535 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2536
2537 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2538 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2539 [Rob Stradling]
2540
2541 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2542 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2543 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2544 [Bodo Moeller]
2545
2546 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2547 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2548 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2549 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2550 [Andy Polyakov]
2551
2552 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2553 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2554
2555 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2556 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2557 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2558 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2559 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2560
2561 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2562 [Andy Polyakov]
2563
2564 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2565 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2566 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2567 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2568
2569 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2570 RSAZ.
2571 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2572
2573 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2574 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2575 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2576 for TLS encrypt.
2577
2578 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2579 [Andy Polyakov]
2580
2581 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2582 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2583 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2584 [Steve Henson]
2585
2586 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2587 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2588 [Steve Henson]
2589
2590 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2591 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2592 [Steve Henson]
2593
2594 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2595 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2596 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2597 algorithms and include tests cases.
2598 [Steve Henson]
2599
2600 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2601 structure.
2602 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2603
2604 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2605 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2606 [Steve Henson]
2607
2608 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2609 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2610 summary of the connection parameters.
2611 [Steve Henson]
2612
2613 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2614 of connection parameters.
2615 [Steve Henson]
2616
2617 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2618 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2619
2620 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2621 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2622 [Steve Henson]
2623
2624 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2625 [Steve Henson]
2626
2627 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2628 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2629 [Steve Henson]
2630
2631 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2632 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2633 [Steve Henson]
2634
2635 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2636 certificates.
2637 [Steve Henson]
2638
2639 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2640 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2641 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2642 [Steve Henson]
2643
2644 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2645 [Steve Henson]
2646
2647 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2648 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2649 [Steve Henson]
2650
2651 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2652 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2653 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2654 tracing.
2655 [Steve Henson]
2656
2657 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2658 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2659 [Steve Henson]
2660
2661 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2662 OID NID.
2663 [Steve Henson]
2664
2665 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2666 client to OpenSSL.
2667 [Steve Henson]
2668
2669 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2670 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2671 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2672 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2673 [Steve Henson]
2674
2675 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2676 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2677 [Steve Henson]
2678
2679 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2680 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2681 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2682 comparison.
2683 [Steve Henson]
2684
2685 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2686 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2687 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2688 use the certificate.
2689 [Steve Henson]
2690
2691 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2692 [Steve Henson]
2693
2694 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2695 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2696 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2697 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2698 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2699 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2700 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2701
2702 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2703 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2704
2705 [Steve Henson]
2706
2707 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2708 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2709 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2710 [Steve Henson]
2711
2712 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2713 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2714 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2715 supported signature algorithms.
2716 [Steve Henson]
2717
2718 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2719 [Steve Henson]
2720
2721 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2722 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2723 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2724 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2725 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2726 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2727 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2728 [Steve Henson]
2729
2730 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2731 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2732 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2733 to have similar checks in it.
2734
2735 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2736 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2737 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2738 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2739 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2740 [Steve Henson]
2741
2742 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2743 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2744 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2745 shared signature algorithms.
2746 [Steve Henson]
2747
2748 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2749 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2750 to support them.
2751 [Steve Henson]
2752
2753 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2754 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2755 it couldn't be removed.
2756 [Steve Henson]
2757
2758 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2759 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2760 [Steve Henson]
2761
2762 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2763 functions. Add manual page.
2764 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2765
2766 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2767 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2768 a certificate.
2769 [Steve Henson]
2770
2771 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2772 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2773
2774 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2775 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2776 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2777 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2778 utility) or reject.
2779 [Steve Henson]
2780
2781 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2782 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2783 [Steve Henson]
2784
2785 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2786 platform support for Linux and Android.
2787 [Andy Polyakov]
2788
2789 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2790 [Andy Polyakov]
2791
2792 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2793 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2794 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2795 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2796 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2797 [Steve Henson]
2798
2799 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2800 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2801 the new parameter format automatically.
2802 [Steve Henson]
2803
2804 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2805 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2806 [Steve Henson]
2807
2808 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2809 [Steve Henson]
2810
2811 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2812 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2813 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2814 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2815 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2816 [Steve Henson]
2817
2818 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2819 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2820 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2821 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2822 to set list of supported curves.
2823 [Steve Henson]
2824
2825 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2826 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2827 to print out received values.
2828 [Steve Henson]
2829
2830 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2831 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2832 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2833 [Steve Henson]
2834
2835 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2836 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2837 [Steve Henson]
2838
2839 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2840 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2841 [Steve Henson]
2842
2843 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2844 certificates.
2845 [Steve Henson]
2846
2847 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2848 the certificate.
2849 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2850 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2851 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2852
2853 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2854
2855 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2856 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2857
2858 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2859
2860 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2861 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2862 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2863 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2864 (CVE-2014-3571)
2865 [Steve Henson]
2866
2867 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2868 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2869 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2870 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2871 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2872 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2873 (CVE-2015-0206)
2874 [Matt Caswell]
2875
2876 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2877 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2878 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2879 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2880 (CVE-2014-3569)
2881 [Kurt Roeckx]
2882
2883 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2884 ECDH ciphersuites.
2885
2886 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2887 reporting this issue.
2888 (CVE-2014-3572)
2889 [Steve Henson]
2890
2891 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2892 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2893 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2894 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2895 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2896 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2897 (CVE-2015-0204)
2898 [Steve Henson]
2899
2900 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2901 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2902 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2903 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2904 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2905 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2906 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2907 this issue.
2908 (CVE-2015-0205)
2909 [Steve Henson]
2910
2911 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2912 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2913
2914 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2915 and can vary with the CTX.
2916 [Adam Langley]
2917
2918 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2919
2920 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2921 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2922 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2923 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2924 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2925
2926 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2927
2928 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2929 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2930
2931 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2932
2933 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2934 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2935 errors for some broken certificates.
2936
2937 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2938
2939 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2940
2941 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2942 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2943
2944 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2945 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2946 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2947 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2948
2949 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2950 of the OpenSSL core team.
2951
2952 (CVE-2014-8275)
2953 [Steve Henson]
2954
2955 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2956 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2957 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2958 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2959 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2960 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2961 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2962 the OpenSSL core team.
2963 (CVE-2014-3570)
2964 [Andy Polyakov]
2965
2966 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2967 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2968 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2969 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2970 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2971
2972 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2973 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2974 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2975 [Emilia Käsper]
2976
2977 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2978 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2979 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2980 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2981 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2982
2983 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2984 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2985 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2986 [Emilia Käsper]
2987
2988 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2989
2990 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2991
2992 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2993 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2994 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2995 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2996 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2997 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2998 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2999
3000 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3001 (CVE-2014-3513)
3002 [OpenSSL team]
3003
3004 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3005
3006 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3007 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3008 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3009 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3010 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3011 attack.
3012 (CVE-2014-3567)
3013 [Steve Henson]
3014
3015 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3016
3017 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3018 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3019 configured to send them.
3020 (CVE-2014-3568)
3021 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3022
3023 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3024 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3025 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3026 (CVE-2014-3566)
3027 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3028
3029 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3030
3031 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3032 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3033 DigestInfo structures.
3034
3035 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.

3037 [Steve Henson]
3038
3039 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3040
3041 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3042 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3043 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3044
3045 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3046 Group for discovering this issue.
3047 (CVE-2014-3512)
3048 [Steve Henson]
3049
3050 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3051 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3052 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3053 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3054 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3055
3056 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3057 researching this issue.
3058 (CVE-2014-3511)
3059 [David Benjamin]
3060
3061 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3062 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3063 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3064 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3065
3066 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3067 issue.
3068 (CVE-2014-3510)
3069 [Emilia Käsper]
3070
3071 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3072 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3073 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3074 (CVE-2014-3507)
3075 [Adam Langley]
3076
3077 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3078 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3079 Denial of Service attack.
3080 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3081 (CVE-2014-3506)
3082 [Adam Langley]
3083
3084 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3085 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3086 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3087 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3088 this issue.
3089 (CVE-2014-3505)
3090 [Adam Langley]
3091
3092 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3093 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3094 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3095
3096 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3097 issue.
3098 (CVE-2014-3509)
3099 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3100
3101 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3102 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3103 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3104 Denial of Service attack.
3105
3106 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3107 discovering and researching this issue.
3108 (CVE-2014-5139)
3109 [Steve Henson]
3110
3111 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3112 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3113 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3114 output to the attacker.
3115
3116 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3117 (CVE-2014-3508)
3118 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3119
3120 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3121 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3122 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3123 [Bodo Moeller]
3124
3125 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3126
3127 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3128 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3129 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3130
3131 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3132 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3133 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3134
3135 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3136 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3137 in a DoS attack.
3138
3139 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3140 (CVE-2014-0221)
3141 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3142
3143 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3144 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3145 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3146 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3147
3148 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3149 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3150
3151 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3152 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3153
3154 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3155 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3156 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3157
3158 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3159 compilation flags.
3160 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3161
3162 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3163 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3164 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3165
3166 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3167 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3168
3169 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3170
3171 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3172 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3173 server.
3174
3175 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3176 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3177 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3178 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3179
3180 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3181 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3182 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3183 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3184
3185 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3186 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3187 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3188
3189 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3190
3191 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3192 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3193 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3194 is at least 512 bytes long.
3195
3196 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3197
3198 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3199
3200 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3201 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3202 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3203 (CVE-2013-4353)
3204
3205 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3206 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3207 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3208 [Steve Henson]
3209
3210 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3211 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3212 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3213 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3214 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3215 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3216 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3217
3218 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3219
3220 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3221 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3222 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3223
3224 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3225
3226 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3227
3228 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3229 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3230 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3231
3232 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information

3236 (CVE-2013-0169)
3237 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3238
3239 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3240 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3241 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3242 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3243 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3244 (CVE-2012-2686)
3245 [Adam Langley]
3246
3247 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3248 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3249 [Steve Henson]
3250
3251 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3252 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3253
3254 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3255 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3256 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3257 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3258 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3259
3260 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3261 [Steve Henson]
3262
3263 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3264 if renegotiating.
3265 [Steve Henson]
3266
3267 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3268
3269 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3270 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3271
3272 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3273 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3274 (CVE-2012-2333)
3275 [Steve Henson]
3276
3277 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3278 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3279 [Steve Henson]
3280
3281 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3282 approved.
3283 [Steve Henson]
3284
3285 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3286
3287 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3288 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3289 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3290 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3291 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3292 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3293 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3294 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3295 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3296 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3297 [Steve Henson]
3298
3299 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3300 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3301 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3302 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3303 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3304 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3305 client side.
3306 [Andy Polyakov]
3307
3308 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3309
3310 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3311 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3312 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3313
3314 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3315 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3316 (CVE-2012-2110)
3317 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3318
3319 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3320 [Adam Langley]
3321
3322 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3323 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3324
3325 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3326 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3327 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3328 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3329 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3330 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3331 Most broken servers should now work.
3332 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3333 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3334 [Steve Henson]
3335
3336 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3337 [Andy Polyakov]
3338
3339 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3340
3341 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3342 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3343 [Steve Henson]
3344
3345 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3346 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3347 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3348 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3349 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3350 [Steve Henson]
3351
3352 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3353 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3354 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3355 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3356 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3357 [Steve Henson]
3358
3359 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3360 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3361
3362 *) Add support for SCTP.
3363 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3364
3365 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3366 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3367
3368 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3369
3370 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3371 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3372 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3373 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3374 - s390x: z196 support;
3375 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3376
3377 [Andy Polyakov]
3378
3379 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3380 (removal of unnecessary code)
3381 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3382
3383 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3384 [Eric Rescorla]
3385
3386 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3387 [Eric Rescorla]
3388
3389 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3390 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3391 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3392 by Google.
3393 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3394
3395 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3396 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3397 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3398 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3399 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3400
3401 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3402 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3403 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3404
3405 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3406 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3407 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3408
3409 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3410 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3411 implementations).
3412 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3413
3414 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3415 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3416 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3417 [Steve Henson]
3418
3419 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3420 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3421 particular PSS.
3422 [Steve Henson]
3423
3424 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3425 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3426 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3427 [Steve Henson]
3428
3429 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3430 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3431 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3432 the appropriate parameters.
3433 [Steve Henson]
3434
3435 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3436 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3437 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3438 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3439 against a number of sample certificates.
3440 [Steve Henson]
3441
3442 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3443 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3444
3445 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3446 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3447
3448 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3449 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3450 parameters r, s.
3451 [Steve Henson]
3452
3453 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3454 RFC3211.
3455 [Steve Henson]
3456
3457 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3458 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3459 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3460 password based CMS).
3461 [Steve Henson]
3462
3463 *) Session-handling fixes:
3464 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3465 but also support Session Tickets.
3466 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3467 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3468 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3469 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3470 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3471 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3472
3473 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3474 [Bodo Moeller]
3475
3476 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3477
3478 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3479 [Andy Polyakov]
3480
3481 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3482 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3483 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3484 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3485 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3486 [Steve Henson]
3487
3488 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3489 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3490 [Steve Henson]
3491
3492 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3493 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3494 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3495 [Steve Henson]
3496
3497 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3498 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3499 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3500 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3501 [Steve Henson]
3502
3503 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3504 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3505 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3506 [Steve Henson]
3507
3508 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3509 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3510
3511 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3512 [Steve Henson]
3513
3514 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3515 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3516 [Steve Henson]
3517
3518 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3519 [Steve Henson]
3520
3521 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3522 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3523 [Steve Henson]
3524
3525 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3526 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3527 [Steve Henson]
3528
3529 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3530 [Steve Henson]
3531
3532 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3533 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3534 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3535 [Steve Henson]
3536
3537 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3538 [Steve Henson]
3539
3540 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3541 [Steve Henson]
3542
3543 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3544 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3545 [Steve Henson]
3546
3547 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3548 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3549 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3550 [Steve Henson]
3551
3552 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3553 [Steve Henson]
3554
3555 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3556 and enable MD5.
3557 [Steve Henson]
3558
3559 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3560 FIPS modules versions.
3561 [Steve Henson]
3562
3563 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3564 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3565 until after the certificate request message is received.
3566 [Steve Henson]
3567
3568 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3569 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3570 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3571 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3572 [Steve Henson]
3573
3574 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3575 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3576 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3577 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3578 [Steve Henson]
3579
3580 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3581 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3582 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3583 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3584 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3585 and version checking.
3586 [Steve Henson]
3587
3588 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3589 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3590 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3591 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3592 [Steve Henson]
3593
3594 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
3595 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
3596 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
3597 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
3598 Ben Laurie]
3599
3600 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3601 [Steve Henson]
3602
3603 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3604 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3605 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3606
3607 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3608 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3609 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3610 [Steve Henson]
3611
3612 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3613 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3614
3615 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3616 a few changes are required:
3617
3618 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3619 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3620 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3621 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3622 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3623 [Steve Henson]
3624
3625 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3626
3627 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3628 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3629 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3630 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3631 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3632 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3633 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3634 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3635 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3636 [Steve Henson]
3637
3638 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3639 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3640 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3641 [Steve Henson]
3642
3643 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3644
3645 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3646 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3647 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3648 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3649 [Antonio Martin]
3650
3651 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3652
3653 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3654 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3655 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3656 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3657 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3658 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3659 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3660 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3661 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3662 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3663 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3664 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3665 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3666
3667 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3668 (CVE-2011-4576)
3669 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3670
3671 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3672 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3673 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3674 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3675
3676 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3677 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3678
3679 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3680 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3681 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3682 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3683
3684 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3685 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3686
3687 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3688 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3689
3690 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3691 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3692
3693 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3694 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3695 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3696
3697 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3698 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3699 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3700
3701 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3702 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3703 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3704 the last update always remained unused).
3705 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3706
3707 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3708 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3709
3710 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3711
3712 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3713 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3714 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3715
3716 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3717 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3718 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3719
3720 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3721 [Bodo Moeller]
3722
3723 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3724 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3725 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3726 [Steve Henson]
3727
3728 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3729 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3730
3731 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3732
3733 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3734
3735 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3736
3737 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3738 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3739
3740 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3741 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3742 ambiguous.
3743 [Steve Henson]
3744
3745 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3746
3747 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3748 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3749 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3750 [Steve Henson]
3751
3752 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3753 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3754 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3755 [Ben Laurie]
3756
3757 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3758
3759 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3760 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3761 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3762 [Steve Henson]
3763
3764 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3765 a DLL.
3766 [Steve Henson]
3767
3768 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3769
3770 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3771 (CVE-2010-1633)
3772 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3773
3774 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3775
3776 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3777 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3778 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3779 [Steve Henson]
3780
3781 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3782 [Steve Henson]
3783
3784 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3785 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3786 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3787
3788 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3789 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3790 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3791 [Steve Henson]
3792
3793 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3794 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3795 [Steve Henson]
3796
3797 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3798 some responders need this.
3799 [Steve Henson]
3800
3801 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3802 correctly.
3803 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3804
3805 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3806 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3807 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3808 [Steve Henson]
3809
3810 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3811 [Steve Henson]
3812
3813 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3814 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3815 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3816 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3817 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3818 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3819 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3820 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3821 [Steve Henson]
3822
3823 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3824 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3825 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3826 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3827
3828 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3829 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3830
3831 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3832 be used on C++.
3833 [Steve Henson]
3834
3835 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3836 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3837 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3838 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3839 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3840 attempting to work them out.
3841 [Steve Henson]
3842
3843 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3844 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3845 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3846 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3847 [Steve Henson]
3848
3849 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3850 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3851 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3852 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3853 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3854 [Steve Henson]
3855
3856 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3857 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3858 you can do:
3859
3860 openssl sha256 foo
3861
3862 as well as:
3863
3864 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3865
3866 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3867
3868 [Steve Henson]
3869
3870 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3871 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3872
3873 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3874 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3875
3876 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3877 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3878 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3879 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3880 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3881 [Steve Henson]
3882
3883 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3884 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3885 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3886 [Steve Henson]
3887
3888 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3889 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3890 [Steve Henson]
3891
3892 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3893 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3894
3895 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3896 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3897 [Steve Henson]
3898
3899 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3900 [Ben Laurie]
3901
3902 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3903 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3904 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3905 CONF_VALUE.
3906 [Ben Laurie]
3907
3908 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3909 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3910 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3911 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3912 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3913 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3914 [Steve Henson]
3915
3916 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3917 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3918
3919 This work was sponsored by Google.
3920 [Steve Henson]
3921
3922 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3923 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3924 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3925 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3926 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3927 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3928 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3929 default.
3930
3931 This work was sponsored by Google.
3932 [Steve Henson]
3933
3934 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3935
3936 This work was sponsored by Google.
3937 [Steve Henson]
3938
3939 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3940 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3941 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3942 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3943
3944 This work was sponsored by Google.
3945 [Steve Henson]
3946
3947 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3948 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3949 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3950 CRL functionality in future.
3951
3952 This work was sponsored by Google.
3953 [Steve Henson]
3954
3955 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3956
3957 This work was sponsored by Google.
3958 [Steve Henson]
3959
3960 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3961 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.

3965
3966 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3967 and URI types are currently supported.
3968
3969 This work was sponsored by Google.
3970 [Steve Henson]
3971
3972 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3973 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3974 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3975 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3976 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3977 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3978 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3979 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3980
3981 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3982 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3983 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3984
3985 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3986 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3987 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3988 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3989
3990 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3991 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3992 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3993 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3994 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3995 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3996 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3997 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3998 of &errno.)
3999 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4000
4001 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4002 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4003 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4004
4005 This work was sponsored by Google.
4006 [Steve Henson]
4007
4008 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4009 [Ben Laurie]
4010
4011 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4012 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4013 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4014 [Ben Laurie]
4015
4016 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4017 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4018 [Nick Mathewson]
4019
4020 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4021 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4022 [Ben Laurie]
4023
4024 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4025 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4026 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4027 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4028 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4029 content types and variants.
4030 [Steve Henson]
4031
4032 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4033 [Steve Henson]
4034
4035 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4036 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4037 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4038 files from the associated perl scripts.
4039 [Steve Henson]
4040
4041 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4042 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4043 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4044
4045 *) s390x assembler pack.
4046 [Andy Polyakov]
4047
4048 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4049 "family."
4050 [Andy Polyakov]
4051
4052 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4053 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4054 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4055 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4056 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4057 to use. For example, specify an option
4058
4059 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4060
4061 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4062 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4063 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4064 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4065 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4066 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4067
4068 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4069 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4070 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4071 return non-zero for success.
4072
4073 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4074 by using
4075
4076 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4077 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4078
4079 where
4080
4081 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4082 void *arg;
4083
4084 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4085 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4086 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4087 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4088 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4089 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4090 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4091 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4092 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4093
4094 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4095 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4096 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4097 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4098 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4099 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4100
4101 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4102 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4103 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4104 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4105 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4106 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4107
4108 [Bodo Moeller]
4109
4110 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4111 MAC.
4112
4113 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4114
4115 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4116 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4117 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4118 supported.
4119
4120 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4121 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4122 SSL_SESSION.
4123
4124 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4125 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4126 with no application modification.
4127
4128 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4129 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4130
4131 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4132 or server extensions to be examined.
4133
4134 This work was sponsored by Google.
4135 [Steve Henson]
4136
4137 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4138 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4139 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4140
4141 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4142 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4143 ciphersuite support.
4144 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4145
4146 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4147 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4148 to output in BER and PEM format.
4149 [Steve Henson]
4150
4151 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4152 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4153 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4154 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4155 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4156 [Steve Henson]
4157
4158 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4159 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4160 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4161 utility.
4162 [Steve Henson]
4163
4164 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4165 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4166 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4167 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4168 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4169 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4170 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4171 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4172 enabled again.
4173
4174 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4175 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4176 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4177 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4178
4179 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4180 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4181 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4182 the default order.
4183 [Bodo Moeller]
4184
4185 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4186 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4187 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4188 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4189 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4190 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4191 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4192 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4193 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4194
4195 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4196 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4197 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4198 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4199 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4200 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4201 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4202 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4203 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4204 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4205 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4206 kinds of kludges.
4207
4208 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4209 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4210 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4211
4212 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4213 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4214 "CAMELLIA256".
4215 [Bodo Moeller]
4216
4217 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4218 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4219 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4220 [Nils Larsch]
4221
4222 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4223 it yet and it is largely untested.
4224 [Steve Henson]
4225
4226 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4227 [Nils Larsch]
4228
4229 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4230 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4231 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4232 [Steve Henson]
4233
4234 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4235 [Andy Polyakov]
4236
4237 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4238 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4239 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4240 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4241 [Steve Henson]
4242
4243 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4244 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4245 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4246 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4247 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4248 [Steve Henson]
4249
4250 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4251 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4252 [Cryptocom]
4253
4254 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4255 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4256 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4257 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4258 [Steve Henson]
4259
4260 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4261 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4262 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4263 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4264 [Steve Henson]
4265
4266 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4267 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4268 [Steve Henson]
4269
4270 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4271 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4272 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4273 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4274 [Steve Henson]
4275
4276 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4277 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4278 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4279 [Steve Henson]
4280
4281 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4282 utility.
4283 [Steve Henson]
4284
4285 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4286 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4287 [Steve Henson]
4288
4289 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4290 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4291 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4292 if necessary.
4293 [Steve Henson]
4294
4295 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4296 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4297 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4298 [Steve Henson]
4299
4300 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4301 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4302 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4303 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4304 [Steve Henson]
4305
4306 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4307 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4308 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4309 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4310 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4311 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4312 [Douglas Stebila]
4313
4314 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4315 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4316 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4317 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4318 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4319
4320 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4321 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4322 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4323 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4324 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4325 protocol).
4326
4327 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4328 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4329 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4330 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4331
4332 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4333 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4334 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4335 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4336 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4337
4338 aECDH - ECDH cert
4339 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4340 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4341
4342 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4343 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4344
4345 [Bodo Moeller]
4346
4347 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4348 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4349 [Steve Henson]
4350
4351 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4352 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4353 [Steve Henson]
4354
4355 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4356 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4357 functional reference processing.
4358 [Steve Henson]
4359
4360 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4361 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4362 process.
4363 [Steve Henson]
4364
4365 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4366 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4367 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4368 [Steve Henson]
4369
4370 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4371 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4372 application to support multiple signers.
4373 [Steve Henson]
4374
4375 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4376 digest MAC.
4377 [Steve Henson]
4378
4379 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4380 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4381 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4382 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4383 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4384 [Steve Henson]
4385
4386 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4387 new API.
4388 [Steve Henson]
4389
4390 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4391 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4392 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4393 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4394 a no op.
4395 [Steve Henson]
4396
4397 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4398 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4399 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4400 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4401 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4402 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4403 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4404 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4405 [Steve Henson]
4406
4407 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4408 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4409 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4410 between digests and public key types.
4411 [Steve Henson]
4412
4413 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4414 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4415 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4416 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4417 [Steve Henson]
4418
4419 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4420 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4421 key ASN1 method.
4422 [Steve Henson]
4423
4424 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4425 [Steve Henson]
4426
4427 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4428 pkeyutl.
4429 [Steve Henson]
4430
4431 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4432 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4433 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4434 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4435 pkey, genpkey.
4436 [Steve Henson]
4437
4438 *) BeOS support.
4439 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4440
4441 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4442 manual pages.
4443 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4444
4445 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4446 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4447 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4448 functionality for RSA.
4449 [Steve Henson]
4450
4451 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4452 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4453 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4454 [Steve Henson]
4455
4456 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4457 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4458 [Steve Henson]
4459
4460 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4461 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4462 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4463 [Steve Henson]
4464
4465 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4466 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4467 [Douglas Stebila]
4468
4469 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4470 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4471 [Steve Henson]
4472
4473 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4474 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4475 type.
4476 [Steve Henson]
4477
4478 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4479 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4480 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4481 structure.
4482 [Steve Henson]
4483
4484 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4485 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4486 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4487 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4488 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4489 of public and private key structures.
4490 [Steve Henson]
4491
4492 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4493 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4494 [Douglas Stebila]
4495
4496 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4497 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4498 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4499
4500 New ciphersuites:
4501 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4502 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4503
4504 New functions:
4505 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4506 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4507 SSL_get_psk_identity
4508 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4509
4510 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4511
4512 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4513 and response verification functionality.
4514 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4515
4516 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4517 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4518 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4519 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4520 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4521 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4522 server_name extension.
4523
4524 New functions (subject to change):
4525
4526 SSL_get_servername()
4527 SSL_get_servername_type()
4528 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4529
4530 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4531
4532 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4533 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4534 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4535 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4536 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4537
4538 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4539
4540 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4541 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4542 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4543 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4544 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4545 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4546 option.
4547
4548 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4549
4550 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4551 [Andy Polyakov]
4552
4553 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4554 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4555 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4556 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4557 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4558 [Andy Polyakov]
4559
4560 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4561 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4562 macro.
4563 [Bodo Moeller]
4564
4565 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4566 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4567 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4568 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4569 [Andy Polyakov]
4570
4571 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4572 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4573 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4574 using the maximum available value.
4575 [Steve Henson]
4576
4577 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4578 in addition to the text details.
4579 [Bodo Moeller]
4580
4581 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4582 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4583 handle several customised structures at all.
4584 [Steve Henson]
4585
4586 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4587 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4588 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4589 [Steve Henson]
4590
4591 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4592 [Steve Henson]
4593
4594 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4595 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4596 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4597 [Steve Henson]
4598
4599 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4600 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4601 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4602 [Nils Larsch]
4603
4604 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4605 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4606 all fields.
4607 [Steve Henson]
4608
4609 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4610 [Steve Henson]
4611
4612 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4613 [NTT]
4614
4615 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4616
4617 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4618 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4619 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4620 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4621 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4622 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4623 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4624 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4625
4626 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4627 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4628 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4629
4630 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4631
4632 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4633 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4634
4635 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4636 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4637 [Bodo Moeller]
4638
4639 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4640 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4641 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4642 [Steve Henson]
4643
4644 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4645 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4646 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4647 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4648 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4649 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4650 [Steve Henson]
4651
4652 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4653 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4654 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4655 [Steve Henson]
4656
4657 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4658 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4659 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4660 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4661 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4662 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4663 CVE-2009-4355.
4664 [Steve Henson]
4665
4666 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4667 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4668 [Bodo Moeller]
4669
4670 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4671 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4672 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4673 [Steve Henson]
4674
4675 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4676 [Steve Henson]
4677
4678 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4679 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4680 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4681 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4682 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4683 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4684 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4685 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4686 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4687 [Steve Henson]
4688
4689 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4690 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4691 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4692 [Steve Henson]
4693
4694 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4695 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4696 [Steve Henson]
4697
4698 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4699 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4700 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4701 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4702 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4703 know what you are doing.
4704 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4705
4706 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4707 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4708 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4709 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4710 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4711 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4712 the handshake.
4713 [Steve Henson]
4714
4715 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4716 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4717 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4718 correctly.
4719 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4720
4721 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4722 warnings in other configurations.
4723 [Steve Henson]
4724
4725 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4726 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4727 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4728 systems need.
4729 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4730
4731 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4732 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4733 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4734
4735 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4736 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4737 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4738 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4739 [Steve Henson]
4740
4741 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4742 and restored.
4743 [Steve Henson]
4744
4745 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4746 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4747 clash.
4748 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4749
4750 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4751 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4752 other than a simple chain.
4753 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4754
4755 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4756 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4757 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4758 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4759 [Steve Henson]
4760
4761 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4762 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4763 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4764 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4765 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
4766 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4767 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4768 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4769 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4770
4771 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4772 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4773 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4774 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4775 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4776 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4777 (CVE-2009-1377)
4778 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4779
4780 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4781 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4782 [Daniel Mentz]
4783
4784 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4785 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4786
4787 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4788 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4789
4790 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4791
4792 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4793 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4794 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4795 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4796 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4797 you're doing.
4798 [Ben Laurie]
4799
4800 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4801
4802 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4803 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4804 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4805 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4806
4807 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4808 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4809 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4810 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4811
4812 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4813 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4814 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4815 [Steve Henson]
4816
4817 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4818 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4819 level.
4820 [Steve Henson]
4821
4822 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4823 to handle some structures.
4824 [Steve Henson]
4825
4826 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4827 for a '\n'
4828 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4829
4830 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4831 [Matthieu Herrb]
4832
4833 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4834 [Steve Henson]
4835
4836 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4837 [Steve Henson]
4838
4839 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4840 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4841 chosen compiler.
4842 [Ben Laurie]
4843
4844 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4845
4846 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4847 (CVE-2008-5077).
4848 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4849
4850 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4851 [Ben Laurie]
4852
4853 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4854 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4855 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4856 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4857
4858 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4859 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4860
4861 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4862 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4863 [Bodo Moeller]
4864
4865 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4866 s_client and s_server.
4867 [Ben Laurie]
4868
4869 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4870 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4871
4872 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4873 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4874
4875 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4876 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4877 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4878 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4879 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4880 [Bodo Moeller]
4881
4882 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4883
4884 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4885 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4886 [PR #1679]
4887
4888 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4889 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4890 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4891
4892 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4893 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4894 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4895 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4896
4897 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4898 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4899
4900 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4901
4902 *) Various precautionary measures:
4903
4904 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4905
4906 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4907 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4908 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4909
4910 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4911 outside the expected range.
4912
4913 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4914 builds.
4915
4916 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4917
4918 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4919 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4920 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4921
4922 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4923 [Steve Henson]
4924
4925 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4926 [Huang Ying]
4927
4928 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.

4931 [Steve Henson]
4932
4933 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4934 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4935 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4936
4937 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4938 [Steve Henson]
4939
4940 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4941 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4942 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4943 files.
4944 [Steve Henson]
4945
4946 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4947
4948 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4949 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
4950 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4951 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4952
4953 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4954 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4955 [Joe Orton]
4956
4957 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4958
4959 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4960 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4961 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4962
4963 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4964
4965 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4966 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4967 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4968 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4969 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4970
4971 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4972 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4973 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4974 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4975 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4976 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4977 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4978
4979 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4980
4981 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4982 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4983 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4984 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4985 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4986
4987 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4988 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4989
4990 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4991 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4992 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4993 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4994 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4995
4996 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4997
4998 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4999 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5000 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5001 sets may exist with different names.
5002 [Steve Henson]
5003
5004 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5005 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5006 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5007 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5008 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5009 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5010 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5011 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5012 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5013 implementation.
5014 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5015
5016 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5017 implementation in the following ways:
5018
5019 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5020 hard coded.
5021
5022 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5023 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5024 ignored for embedded content.
5025
5026 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5027 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5028 [Steve Henson]
5029
5030 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5031 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5032 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5033 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5034
5035 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5036 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5037 [Steve Henson]
5038
5039 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5040 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5041 [Steve Henson]
5042
5043 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5044 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5045 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5046 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5047 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5048 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5049 data.
5050 [Steve Henson]
5051
5052 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5053 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5054 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5055
5056 *) Netware support:
5057
5058 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5059 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5060 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5061 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5062 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5063 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5064 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5065 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5066 platform
5067 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5068 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5069 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5070 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5071 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5072 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5073 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5074
5075 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5076 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5077 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5078 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5079 to s_client and s_server.
5080 [Steve Henson]
5081
5082 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5083
5084 *) Fix various bugs:
5085 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5086 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5087 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5088 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5089 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5090
5091 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5092
5093 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5094 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5095 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5096 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5097 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5098 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5099 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5100 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5101 [Andy Polyakov]
5102
5103 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5104 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5105 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5106 Steve Henson]
5107
5108 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5109 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5110 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5111 supported.
5112
5113 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5114 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5115 SSL_SESSION.
5116
5117 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5118 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5119 with no application modification.
5120
5121 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5122 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5123
5124 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5125 or server extensions to be examined.
5126
5127 This work was sponsored by Google.
5128 [Steve Henson]
5129
5130 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5131 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5132 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5133 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5134 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5135 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5136 server_name extension.
5137
5138 New functions (subject to change):
5139
5140 SSL_get_servername()
5141 SSL_get_servername_type()
5142 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5143
5144 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5145
5146 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5147 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5148 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5149 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5150 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5151
5152 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5153
5154 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5155 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5156 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5157 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5158 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5159 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5160 option.
5161
5162 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5163
5164 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5165 [Steve Henson]
5166
5167 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5168 [Andy Polyakov]
5169
5170 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5171 (which previously caused an internal error).
5172 [Bodo Moeller]
5173
5174 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5175 [Ben Laurie]
5176
5177 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5178 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5179
5180 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5181 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5182 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5183
5184 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5185 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5186 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5187 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5188
5189 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5190 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5191 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5192 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5193
5194 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5195 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5196 information. For detailed background information, see
5197 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5198 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5199 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5200 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5201 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5202 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5203 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5204 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5205 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5206 remove a conditional branch.
5207
5208 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5209 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5210 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5211 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5212 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5213 remains as a deprecated alias.
5214
5215 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5216 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5217 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5218 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5219
5220 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5221 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5222 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5223 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5224 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5225 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5226 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5227 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5228
5229 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5230
5231 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5232 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5233 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5234 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5235 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5236 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5237 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5238 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5239 in a different context.
5240 [Bodo Moeller]
5241
5242 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5243 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5244 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5245 [Bodo Moeller]
5246
5247 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5248 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5249 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5250
5251 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5252
5253 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5254 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5255 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5256 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5257 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5258 [Victor Duchovni]
5259
5260 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5261 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5262 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5263 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5264 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5265 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5266 [Bodo Moeller]
5267
5268 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5269 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5270 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5271 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5272 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5273 [Bodo Moeller]
5274
5275 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5276 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5277
5278 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5279 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5280 Improve header file function name parsing.
5281 [Steve Henson]
5282
5283 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5284 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5285 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5286
5287 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5288
5289 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5290 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5291 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5292
5293 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5294 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5295
5296 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5297 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5298
5299 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5300 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5301 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5302
5303 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5304 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5305 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5306 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5307 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5308 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5309 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5310 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5311 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5312
5313 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5314 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5315 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5316 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5317 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5318
5319 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5320 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5321 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5322 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5323 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5324 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5325 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5326 multiple values to extend the available space.
5327
5328 [Bodo Moeller]
5329
5330 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5331
5332 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5333 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5334
5335 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5336 [Ben Laurie]
5337
5338 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5339 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5340 undesirable limitations.
5341 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5342
5343 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5344 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5345 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5346 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5347 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5348 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5349 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5350 [Bodo Moeller]
5351
5352 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5353
5354 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5355 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5356 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5357
5358 The latter two were purportedly from
5359 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5360 appear there.
5361
5362 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5363 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5364 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5365 [Bodo Moeller]
5366
5367 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5368 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5369 [Bodo Moeller]
5370
5371 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5372 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5373 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5374 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5375
5376 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5377 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5378 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5379 [NTT]
5380
5381 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5382 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5383 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5384 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5385 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5386 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5387 [Steve Henson]
5388
5389 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5390
5391 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5392 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5393 [Steve Henson]
5394
5395 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5396 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5397
5398 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5399 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5400 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5401 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5402 [Douglas Stebila]
5403
5404 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5405 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5406 [Steve Henson]
5407
5408 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5409 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5410 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5411 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5412 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5413 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5414 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5415 can't be loaded.
5416 [Steve Henson]
5417
5418 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5419 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5420 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5421 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5422 [Steve Henson]
5423
5424 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5425 under VC++ build system.
5426 [Steve Henson]
5427
5428 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5429 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5430 [Richard Levitte]
5431
5432 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5433
5434 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5435 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5436 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5437 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5438 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5439
5440 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5441 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5442 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5443
5444 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5445 [Steve Henson]
5446
5447 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5448 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5449 [Nils Larsch]
5450
5451 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5452 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5453
5454 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5455 [Nick Mathewson]
5456
5457 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5458 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5459
5460 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5461 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5462 [Steve Henson]
5463
5464 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5465 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5466 smime utility.
5467 [Steve Henson]
5468
5469 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5470
5471 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5472 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5473
5474 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5475 [Richard Levitte]
5476
5477 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5478 key into the same file any more.
5479 [Richard Levitte]
5480
5481 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5482 [Andy Polyakov]
5483
5484 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5485 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5486
5487 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5488 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5489 [Richard Levitte]
5490
5491 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5492 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5493 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5494 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5495 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5496 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5497
5498 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5499 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5500 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5501 [Steve Henson]
5502
5503 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5504 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5505 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5506 - add new function for parameter creation
5507 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5508 BN_BLINDING parameters
5509 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5510 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5511 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5512 threads.
5513 [Nils Larsch]
5514
5515 *) Add support for DTLS.
5516 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5517
5518 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5519 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5520 [Walter Goulet]
5521
5522 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5523 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5524 [Nils Larsch]
5525
5526 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5527 the apps/openssl applications.
5528 [Nils Larsch]
5529
5530 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5531 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5532 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5533 [Ben Laurie]
5534
5535 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5536 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5537
5538 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5539 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5540
5541 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5542 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5543 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5544 avoid this algorithm.)
5545
5546 [Bodo Moeller]
5547
5548 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5549 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5550 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5551 [Richard Levitte]
5552
5553 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5554 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5555 [Andy Polyakov]
5556
5557 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5558 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5559 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5560 pod file:
5561
5562 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5563
5564 The blank line is mandatory.
5565
5566 [Steve Henson]
5567
5568 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5569 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5570 sources.
5571 [Steve Henson]
5572
5573 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5574 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5575
5576 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5577 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5578 to support policy checking and print out.
5579 [Steve Henson]
5580
5581 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5582 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5583 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5584 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5585
5586 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5587 [Geoff Thorpe]
5588
5589 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5590 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5591
5592 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5593 implementation contributed by IBM.
5594 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5595
5596 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5597 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5598 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5599 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5600
5601 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5602 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5603
5604 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5605 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5606 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5607 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5608 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5609 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5610 [Steve Henson]
5611
5612 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5613 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5614 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5615 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5616 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5617 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5618 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5619 [Geoff Thorpe]
5620
5621 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5622 [Steve Henson]
5623
5624 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5625 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5626 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5627 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5628 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5629 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5630 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5631 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5632 [Steve Henson]
5633
5634 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5635 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5636 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5637 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5638 [Steve Henson]
5639
5640 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5641 syntax:
5642
5643 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5644 [Steve Henson]
5645
5646 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5647 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5648 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5649 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5650 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5651 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5652 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5653 [Geoff Thorpe]
5654
5655 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5656 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5657 [Geoff Thorpe]
5658
5659 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5660 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5661 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5662 [Steve Henson]
5663
5664 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5665 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5666 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5667 below).
5668 [Geoff Thorpe]
5669
5670 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5671 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5672 [Richard Levitte]
5673
5674 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5675 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5676 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5677 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5678 [Geoff Thorpe]
5679
5680 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5681 initialised value as BN_new().
5682 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5683
5684 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5685 [Steve Henson]
5686
5687 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5688 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5689 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5690 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5691 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5692 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5693 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5694 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5695 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5696 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5697 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5698 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5699 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5700 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5701 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5702
5703 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5704 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5705 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5706 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5707 [Geoff Thorpe]
5708
5709 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5710 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5711 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5712 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5713 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5714 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5715 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5716 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5717 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5718 [Geoff Thorpe]
5719
5720 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5721 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5722 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5723 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5724 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5725 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5726 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5727 [Geoff Thorpe]
5728
5729 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5730 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5731 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5732 these have been updated also.
5733 [Geoff Thorpe]
5734
5735 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5736 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5737 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5738 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5739 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5740 functions.
5741 [Steve Henson]
5742
5743 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5744 structure of type "other".
5745 [Steve Henson]
5746
5747 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5748 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5749 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5750 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5751 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5752 situation in the script.
5753 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5754
5755 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5756 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5757 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5758 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5759 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5760 used as premaster secret.
5761 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5762
5763 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5764 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5765 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5766
5767 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5768 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5769
5770 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5771 control of the error stack.
5772 [Richard Levitte]
5773
5774 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5775 [Richard Levitte]
5776
5777 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5778 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5779 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5780 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5781 [Richard Levitte]
5782
5783 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5784 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5785 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5786 [Richard Levitte]
5787
5788 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5789 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5790 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5791 a memory area.
5792 [Richard Levitte]
5793
5794 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5795 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5796 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5797 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5798 [Richard Levitte]
5799
5800 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5801 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5802 the following flags are defined:
5803
5804 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5805 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5806 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5807 number.
5808
5809 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5810 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5811 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5812 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5813 returns zero.
5814 [Richard Levitte]
5815
5816 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5817 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5818 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5819 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5820 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5821 [Richard Levitte]
5822
5823 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5824 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5825 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5826 [Richard Levitte]
5827
5828 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5829 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5830 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5831 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5832 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5833 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5834 [Richard Levitte]
5835
5836 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5837 req and dirName.
5838 [Steve Henson]
5839
5840 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5841 [Steve Henson]
5842
5843 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5844 [Steve Henson]
5845
5846 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5847 [Steve Henson]
5848
5849 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5850 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5851 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5852 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5853 default implementation more easily.
5854 [Geoff Thorpe]
5855
5856 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5857 in config files.
5858 [Steve Henson]
5859
5860 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5861 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5862 [Richard Levitte]
5863
5864 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5865 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5866 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5867 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5868
5869 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5870 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5871 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5872 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5873 [Steve Henson]
5874
5875 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5876 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5877 to do it.
5878 [Richard Levitte]
5879
5880 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5881 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5882 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5883 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5884 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5885 scalar * generator).
5886 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5887
5888 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5889 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5890 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5891 correctly.
5892 [Steve Henson]
5893
5894 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5895 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5896 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5897 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5898 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5899 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5900 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5901 linker additions, eg;
5902 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5903 [Geoff Thorpe]
5904
5905 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5906 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5907 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5908 [Geoff Thorpe]
5909
5910 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5911 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5912 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5913 via PR#459)
5914 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5915
5916 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5917 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5918 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5919 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5920 [Geoff Thorpe]
5921
5922 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5923 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5924 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5925 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5926 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5927 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5928 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5929 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5930 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5931 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5932
5933 Example for using the new callback interface:
5934
5935 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5936 void *my_arg = ...;
5937 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5938
5939 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5940
5941 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5942 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5943 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5944 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5945 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5946 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5947 */
5948
5949 [Geoff Thorpe]
5950
5951 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5952 available to TLS with the number defined in
5953 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5954 [Richard Levitte]
5955
5956 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5957 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5958
5959 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5960 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5961 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5962 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5963
5964 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5965 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5966
5967 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5968 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5969 well.
5970 [Richard Levitte]
5971
5972 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5973 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5974 [Richard Levitte]
5975
5976 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5977 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5978 and a macro that behave like
5979 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5980
5981 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5982 [Nils Larsch]
5983
5984 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5985 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5986 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5987 if applicable.
5988 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5989
5990 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5991 [Bodo Moeller]
5992
5993 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5994 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5995 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5996 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5997 directory engines/.
5998 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5999 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6000 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6001 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6002 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6003 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6004 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6005 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6006
6007 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6008 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6009 [Richard Levitte]
6010
6011 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6012 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6013
6014 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6015 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6016 files while avoiding the low level API.
6017
6018 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6019 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6020 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6021 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6022
6023 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6024 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6025 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6026 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6027 instead of the low level API.
6028 [Steve Henson]
6029
6030 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6031 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6032 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6033 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6034 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6035 PKCS#7 code.
6036
6037 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6038 down to the template encoder.
6039 [Steve Henson]
6040
6041 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6042 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6043 [Bodo Moeller]
6044
6045 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6046 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6047 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6048 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6049
6050 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6051 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6052
6053 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6054 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6055
6056 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6057 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6058 [Bodo Moeller]
6059
6060 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6061 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6062 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6063 [Bodo Moeller]
6064
6065 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6066 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6067
6068 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6069 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6070
6071 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6072 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6073 New EC_METHOD:
6074
6075 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6076
6077 New API functions:
6078
6079 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6080 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6081 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6082 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6083 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6084 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6085
6086 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6087 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6088 enable it).
6089
6090 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6091 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6092 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6093 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6094 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6095 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6096 various internal method names.)
6097
6098 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6099 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6100
6101 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6102 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6103
6104 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6105 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6106
6107 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6108 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6109 methods are undefined.
6110
6111 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6112 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6113
6114 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6115 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6116 length of the modulus.
6117
6118 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6119 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6120
6121 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6122 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6123
6124 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6125 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6126
6127 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6128 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6129 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6130
6131 BN_GF2m_add
6132 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6133 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6134 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6135 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6136 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6137 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6138 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6139 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6140 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6141
6142 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6143 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6144
6145 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6146 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6147 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6148 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6149 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6150 where
6151 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6152 This applies to the following functions:
6153
6154 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6155 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6156 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6157 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6158 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6159 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6160 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6161 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6162 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6163 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6164
6165 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6166
6167 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6168 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6169
6170 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6171
6172 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6173 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6174 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6175 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6176 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6177
6178 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6179 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6180
6181 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6182 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6183 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6184
6185 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6186 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6187
6188 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6189 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6190 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6191 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6192 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6193
6194 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6195 functions
6196 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6197 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6198 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6199 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6200 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6201 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6202 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6203 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6204 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6205 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6206 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6207 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6208
6209 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6210 functions
6211 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6212 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6213 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6214 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6215 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6216
6217 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6218 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6219 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6220 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6221
6222 *) Add functions
6223 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6224 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6225 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6226 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6227 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6228 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6229 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6230
6231 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6232 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6233 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6234 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6235 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6236 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6237 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6238 adding different types of curves.
6239 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6240
6241 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6242 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6243 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6244 [Bodo Moeller]
6245
6246 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6247 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6248
6249 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6250 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6251 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6252 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6253
6254 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6255
6256 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6257 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6258
6259 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6260 library. Most notably,
6261 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6262 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6263 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6264 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6265 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6266 extracted before the specific public key;
6267 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6268 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6269
6270 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6271 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6272 function
6273 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6274 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6275 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6276 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6277 accessed via
6278 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6279 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6280 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6281
6282 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6283 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6284 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6285 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6286 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6287 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6288 differing sizes.
6289 [Richard Levitte]
6290
6291 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6292
6293 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6294 sensitive data.
6295 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6296
6297 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6298 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6299 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6300 [Bodo Moeller]
6301
6302 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6303 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6304 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6305 [Victor Duchovni]
6306
6307 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6308 [Steve Henson]
6309
6310 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6311 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6312 [Steve Henson]
6313
6314 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6315 run algorithm test programs.
6316 [Steve Henson]
6317
6318 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6319 [Steve Henson]
6320
6321 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6322 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6323 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6324 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6325 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6326 [Bodo Moeller]
6327
6328 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6329 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6330 [Steve Henson]
6331
6332 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6333
6334 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6335 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6336 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6337
6338 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6339 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6340
6341 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6342 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6343
6344 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6345 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6346 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6347
6348 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6349 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6350 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6351 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6352 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6353 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6354 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6355 [Bodo Moeller]
6356
6357 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6358
6359 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6360 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6361
6362 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6363 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6364 undesirable limitations.
6365 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6366
6367 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6368
6369 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6370 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6371 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6372
6373 The latter two were purportedly from
6374 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6375 appear there.
6376
6377 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6378 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6379 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6380 [Bodo Moeller]
6381
6382 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6383 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6384 [Bodo Moeller]
6385
6386 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6387
6388 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6389 module in FIPS mode.
6390 [Steve Henson]
6391
6392 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6393 [Steve Henson]
6394
6395 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6396 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6397 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6398 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6399 [Steve Henson]
6400
6401 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6402
6403 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6404 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6405 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6406 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6407 the difference induced by this change.
6408 [Andy Polyakov]
6409
6410 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6411
6412 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6413 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6414 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6415 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6416 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6417
6418 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6419 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6420 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6421
6422 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6423 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6424 [Steve Henson]
6425
6426 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6427 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6428 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6429 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6430 biased k.)
6431 [Bodo Moeller]
6432
6433 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6434 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6435 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6436 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6437 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6438
6439 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6440 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6441 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6442 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6443 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6444 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6445
6446 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6447
6448 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6449 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6450 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6451 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6452 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6453 [Bodo Moeller]
6454
6455 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6456 clients need.
6457 [Steve Henson]
6458
6459 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6460 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6461 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6462 [Steve Henson]
6463
6464 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6465 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6466 structures constant.
6467 [Steve Henson]
6468
6469 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6470
6471 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6472 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6473
6474 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6475 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6476 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6477 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6478 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6479 some needed definitions.
6480 [Steve Henson]
6481
6482 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6483 [Ulf Möller]
6484
6485 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6486 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6487 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6488 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6489 [Richard Levitte]
6490
6491 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6492
6493 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6494 server and client random values. Previously
6495 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6496 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6497
6498 This change has negligible security impact because:
6499
6500 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6501 data.
6502
6503 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6504 handshake.
6505
6506 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6507 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6508 values.
6509
6510 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6511 to our attention.
6512
6513 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6514
6515 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6516 [Ulf Möller]
6517
6518 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6519 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6520 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6521
6522 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6523 [Steve Henson]
6524
6525 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6526 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6527 [Andy Polyakov]
6528
6529 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6530 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6531 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6532
6533 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6534 [Steve Henson]
6535
6536 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6537 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6538 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6539 certificates.
6540 [Steve Henson]
6541
6542 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6543 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6544 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6545 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6546
6547 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6548 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6549 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6550 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6551 been given)
6552 [Richard Levitte]
6553
6554 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6555
6556 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6557 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6558 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6559 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6560 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6561 [Steve Henson]
6562
6563 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6564 [Steve Henson]
6565
6566 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6567 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6568
6569 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6570 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6571 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6572 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6573 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6574 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6575 rather than being initialized to 1.
6576 [Steve Henson]
6577
6578 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6579
6580 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6581 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6582 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6583
6584 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6585 (CVE-2004-0112)
6586 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6587
6588 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6589 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6590 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6591 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6592 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6593 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6594 [Richard Levitte]
6595
6596 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6597 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6598 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6599 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6600 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6601 for these cases.
6602 [Steve Henson]
6603
6604 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6605 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6606 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6607 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6608 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6609 [Steve Henson]
6610
6611 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6612 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6613 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6614 < 0.9.7.
6615 [Steve Henson]
6616
6617 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6618 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6619
6620 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6621 [Steve Henson]
6622
6623 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6624
6625 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6626
6627 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6628 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6629
6630 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6631
6632 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6633 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6634
6635 [Steve Henson]
6636
6637 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6638 exiting on the first error in a request.
6639 [Steve Henson]
6640
6641 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6642 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6643 specifications.
6644 [Steve Henson]
6645
6646 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6647 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6648 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6649 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6650
6651 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6652 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6653 [Richard Levitte]
6654
6655 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6656 blocks during encryption.
6657 [Richard Levitte]
6658
6659 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6660 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6661 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6662 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6663 certain size.
6664 [Steve Henson]
6665
6666 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6667 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6668 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6669 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6670 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6671 parser.
6672 [Steve Henson]
6673
6674 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6675
6676 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6677 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6678 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6679 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6680 [Bodo Moeller]
6681
6682 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6683 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6684 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6685 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6686 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6687
6688 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6689 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6690 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6691 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6692 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6693 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6694 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6695 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6696 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6697 [Bodo Moeller]
6698
6699 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6700 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6701 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6702 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6703 [Geoff Thorpe]
6704
6705 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6706 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6707 [Ulf Moeller]
6708
6709 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6710
6711 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6712 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6713 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6714 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6715 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6716
6717 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6718 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6719 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6720
6721 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6722 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6723 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6724 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6725 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6726
6727 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6728 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6729 used by default when no-err is given.
6730 [Richard Levitte]
6731
6732 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6733 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6734
6735 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6736 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6737 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6738 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6739 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6740
6741 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6742 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6743 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6744 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6745
6746 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6747
6748 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6749
6750 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6751
6752 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6753 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6754 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6755 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6756 root is omitted).
6757 [Steve Henson]
6758
6759 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6760 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6761
6762 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6763 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6764 [Steve Henson]
6765
6766 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6767 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6768 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6769 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6770 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6771
6772 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6773 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6774 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6775 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6776 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6777 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6778 followup to PR #377.
6779 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6780
6781 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6782 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6783 [Andy Polyakov]
6784
6785 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6786 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6787 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6788 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6789
6790 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6791
6792 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6793 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6794
6795 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6796 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6797 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6798 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6799 client and server.
6800 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6801 PR #377.
6802 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6803
6804 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6805 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6806 removed entirely.
6807 [Richard Levitte]
6808
6809 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6810 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6811 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6812 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6813 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6814 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6815 of libcrypto.
6816 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6817 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6818 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6819 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6820 have to be made anyway).
6821 [Richard Levitte]
6822
6823 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6824 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6825 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6826 [Steve Henson]
6827
6828 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6829 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6830 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6831 [Richard Levitte]
6832
6833 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6834 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6835 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6836
6837 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6838 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6839 edit numbers of the version.
6840 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6841
6842 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6843 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6844 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6845
6846 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6847 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6848
6849 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6850 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6851 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6852
6853 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6854 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6855
6856 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6857 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6858
6859 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6860 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6861
6862 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6863 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6864
6865 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6866 overflows.
6867 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6868
6869 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6870 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6871 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6872
6873 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6874 representations in a platform independent manner.
6875 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6876
6877 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6878 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6879 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6880
6881 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6882 indents.
6883 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6884
6885 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6886 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6887
6888 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6889 full. Fixed.
6890 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6891
6892 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6893 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6894 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6895
6896 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6897 unconditionally).
6898 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6899
6900 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6901 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6902
6903 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6904 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6905
6906 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6907 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6908
6909 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6910 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6911
6912 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6913 CBCParameter.
6914 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6915
6916 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6917 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6918
6919 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6920 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6921
6922 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6923 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6924 exploitable.
6925 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6926
6927 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6928 the 0.9.6 release series:
6929
6930 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6931 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6932 (CVE-2002-0657)
6933 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6934
6935 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6936 [Richard Levitte]
6937
6938 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6939 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6940
6941 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6942 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6943
6944 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6945 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6946 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6947 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6948
6949 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6950 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6951 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6952
6953 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6954 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6955 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6956 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6957
6958 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6959 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6960 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6961 some local tweaks:
6962
6963 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6964 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6965 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6966 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6967 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6968 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6969 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6970 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6971 done
6972
6973 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6974 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6975 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6976 [Richard Levitte]
6977
6978 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6979 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6980 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6981 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6982 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6983
6984 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6985 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6986
6987 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6988 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6989 [Richard Levitte]
6990
6991 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6992 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6993 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6994 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6995 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6996 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6997 [Steve Henson]
6998
6999 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7000 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7001 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7002 [Steve Henson]
7003
7004 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7005 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7006 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7007
7008 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7009 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7010 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7011 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7012 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7013 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7014 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7015 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7016
7017 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7018 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7019 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7020 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7021 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7022 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7023 [Steve Henson]
7024
7025 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7026 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7027 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7028 declaration has been changed from
7029 int (*cb)()
7030 into
7031 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7032 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7033 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7034 has been changed into
7035 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7036
7037 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7038 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7039 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7040
7041 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7042 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7043
7044 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7045 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7046 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7047 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7048 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7049 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7050 always load it have also been added.
7051 [Steve Henson]
7052
7053 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7054 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7055 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7056
7057 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7058
7059 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7060 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7061 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7062
7063 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7064 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7065 command line option can be used to specify an
7066 alternative file.
7067 [Steve Henson]
7068
7069 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7070 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7071 [Steve Henson]
7072
7073 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7074 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7075 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7076 [Steve Henson]
7077
7078 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7079 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7080 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7081 to work with the new engine framework.
7082 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7083
7084 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7085 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7086 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7087 to work with the new engine framework.
7088 [Richard Levitte]
7089
7090 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7091 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7092 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7093
7094 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7095 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7096
7097 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7098 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7099 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7100 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7101 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7102 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7103
7104 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7105 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7106
7107 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7108 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7109
7110 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7111 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7112 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7113 [Ben Laurie]
7114
7115 *) Add new functions
7116 ERR_peek_last_error
7117 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7118 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7119 These are similar to
7120 ERR_peek_error
7121 ERR_peek_error_line
7122 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7123 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7124 still in the error queue.
7125 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7126
7127 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7128 like:
7129 default_algorithms = ALL
7130 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7131 [Steve Henson]
7132
7133 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7134 [Steve Henson]
7135
7136 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7137 [Steve Henson]
7138
7139 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7140 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7141 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7142 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7143
7144 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7145 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7146
7147 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7148 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7149
7150 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7151 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7152 [Bodo Moeller]
7153
7154 *) New functions/macros
7155
7156 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7157 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7158 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7159 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7160
7161 to request calling a callback function
7162
7163 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7164 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7165
7166 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7167 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7168 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7169 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7170 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7171 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7172 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7173 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7174 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7175 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7176
7177 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7178 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7179 [Bodo Moeller]
7180
7181 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7182 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7183 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7184 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7185 the configuration scripts.
7186
7187 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7188 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7189 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7190
7191 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7192 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7193
7194 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7195 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7196 when reusing an existing buffer.
7197 [Bodo Moeller]
7198
7199 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7200 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7201 [Steve Henson]
7202
7203 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7204 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7205 [Ben Laurie]
7206
7207 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7208 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7209 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7210 has the same effect.
7211 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7212
7213 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7214 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7215 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7216 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7217 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7218 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7219 exception.
7220
7221 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7222 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7223 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7224 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7225
7226 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7227 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7228 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7229 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7230
7231 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7232 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7233 won't work.
7234
7235 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7236 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7237 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7238 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7239 default), and then completely removed.
7240 [Richard Levitte]
7241
7242 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7243 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7244 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7245 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7246 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7247 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7248 particular extension is supported.
7249 [Steve Henson]
7250
7251 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7252 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7253 [Steve Henson]
7254
7255 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7256 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7257 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7258 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7259 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7260 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7261 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7262 requires the destination to be valid.
7263
7264 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7265 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7266 [Steve Henson]
7267
7268 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7269 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7270 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7271 [Bodo Moeller]
7272
7273 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7274 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7275
7276 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7277 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7278 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7279 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7280 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7281 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7282 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7283 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7284 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7285 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7286 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7287 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7288 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7289 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7290 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7291 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7292 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7293 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7294 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7295 the new code.
7296 [Geoff Thorpe]
7297
7298 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7299 [Steve Henson]
7300
7301 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7302 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7303 become part of libeay.num as well.
7304 [Richard Levitte]
7305
7306 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7307 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7308 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7309 false once a handshake has been completed.
7310 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7311 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7312 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7313 client has followed the request.)
7314 [Bodo Moeller]
7315
7316 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7317 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7318 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7319 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7320
7321 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7322 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7323 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7324 [Bodo Moeller]
7325
7326 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7327 [Steve Henson]
7328
7329 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7330 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7331 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7332 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7333
7334 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7335 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7336 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7337
7338 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7339 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7340 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7341 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7342 [Geoff Thorpe]
7343
7344 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7345 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7346 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7347 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7348 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7349 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7350 [Geoff Thorpe]
7351
7352 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7353 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7354 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7355 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7356 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7357 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7358 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7359 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7360 [Geoff Thorpe]
7361
7362 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7363 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7364 [Geoff Thorpe]
7365
7366 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7367 [Ben Laurie]
7368
7369 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7370 md_data void pointer.
7371 [Ben Laurie]
7372
7373 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7374 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7375 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7376 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7377 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7378 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7379 [Ben Laurie]
7380
7381 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7382 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7383 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7384 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7385 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7386 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7387 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7388 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7389 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7390 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7391 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7392 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7393 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7394 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7395 rather than letting it slide.
7396
7397 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7398 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7399 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7400 [Geoff Thorpe]
7401
7402 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7403 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7404 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7405 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7406 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7407 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7408 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7409 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7410 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7411 [Geoff Thorpe]
7412
7413 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7414 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7415 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7416 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7417 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7418
7419 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7420 [Geoff Thorpe]
7421
7422 *) Add EVP test program.
7423 [Ben Laurie]
7424
7425 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7426 [Ben Laurie]
7427
7428 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7429 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7430 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7431 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7432 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7433 [Steve Henson]
7434
7435 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7436 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7437 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7438 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7439 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7440 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7441 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7442
7443 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7444 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7445 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7446 Usage example:
7447
7448 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7449
7450 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7451 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7452 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7453 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7454 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7455
7456 [Ben Laurie]
7457
7458 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7459 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7460 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7461 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7462 anyway): E.g.,
7463
7464 des_key_schedule ks;
7465
7466 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7467 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7468
7469 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7470 [Ben Laurie]
7471
7472 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7473 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7474 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7475 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7476 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7477 functions prevents this.
7478 [Steve Henson]
7479
7480 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7481 [Ben Laurie]
7482
7483 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7484 correct _ecb suffix.
7485 [Ben Laurie]
7486
7487 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7488 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7489 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7490 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7491 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7492 [Steve Henson]
7493
7494 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7495 [Richard Levitte]
7496
7497 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7498 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7499 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7500 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7501
7502 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7503 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7504
7505 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7506 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7507 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7508 via Richard Levitte]
7509
7510 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7511 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7512 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7513 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7514 [Geoff Thorpe]
7515
7516 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7517 Before:
7518 encrypt
7519 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7520 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

7532 [Ben Laurie]
7533
7534 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7535 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7536
7537 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7538 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7539 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7540 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7541 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7542 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7543 [Steve Henson]
7544
7545 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7546 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7547 [Richard Levitte]
7548
7549 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7550 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7551 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7552 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7553
7554 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7555 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7556 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7557 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7558 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7559 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7560 callback.
7561 [Richard Levitte]
7562
7563 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7564 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7565 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7566 and interrupts/cancellations.
7567 [Richard Levitte]
7568
7569 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7570 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7571 [Steve Henson]
7572
7573 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7574 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7575 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7576
7577 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7578 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7579 kind of callback.
7580 [Richard Levitte]
7581
7582 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7583 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7584 than this minimum value is recommended.
7585 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7586
7587 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7588 that are easily reachable.
7589 [Richard Levitte]
7590
7591 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7592 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7593
7594 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7595
7596 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7597 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7598 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7599 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7600 [Steve Henson]
7601
7602 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7603 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7604 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7605 [Steve Henson]
7606
7607 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7608 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7609 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7610 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7611 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7612 internally such as S/MIME.
7613
7614 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7615 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7616 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7617
7618 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7619 applications.
7620 [Steve Henson]
7621
7622 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7623 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7624 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7625 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7626
7627 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7628
7629 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7630
7631 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7632 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7633 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7634 handling.
7635 [Steve Henson]
7636
7637 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7638 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7639 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7640 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7641 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7642 a window system and the like.
7643 [Richard Levitte]
7644
7645 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7646 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7647 [Geoff]
7648
7649 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7650 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7651 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7652 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7653 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7654 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7655 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7656 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7657 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7658 ENGINE structure.
7659 [Geoff]
7660
7661 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7662 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7663 tag cache.
7664 [Steve Henson]
7665
7666 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7667 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7668 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7669 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7670 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7671 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7672 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7673 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7674 [Geoff]
7675
7676 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7677 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7678 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7679 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7680 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7681 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7682 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7683 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7684 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7685 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7686 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7687 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7688 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7689 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7690 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7691 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7692 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7693 [Geoff]
7694
7695 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7696 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7697 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7698 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7699 internal engine_int.h header.
7700 [Geoff]
7701
7702 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7703 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7704 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7705 modify their own ones).
7706 [Geoff]
7707
7708 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7709 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7710 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7711 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7712 later on via ctrl() commands.
7713 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7714 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7715 structural references.
7716 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7717 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7718 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7719 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7720 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7721 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7722 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7723 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7724 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7725 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7726 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7727 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7728 [Geoff]
7729
7730 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7731 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7732 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7733 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7734 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7735 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7736 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7737 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7738 [Bodo Moeller]
7739
7740 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7741 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7742 [Steve Henson]
7743
7744 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7745 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7746 [Steve Henson]
7747
7748 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7749 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7750 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7751 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7752 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7753 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7754 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7755 [Steve Henson]
7756
7757 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7758 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7759 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7760 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7761 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7762
7763 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7764 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7765 generator).
7766 [Bodo Moeller]
7767
7768 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7769
7770 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7771 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7772 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7773
7774 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7775 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7776
7777 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7778 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7779 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7780
7781 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7782 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7783
7784 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7785 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7786
7787 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7788
7789 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7790 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7791 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7792 [Bodo Moeller]
7793
7794 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7795 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7796 [Richard Levitte]
7797
7798 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7799 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7800 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7801 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7802 is 40 of more characters long.
7803 [Steve Henson]
7804
7805 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7806 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7807 pointers.
7808 [Steve Henson]
7809
7810 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7811 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7812 [Bodo Moeller]
7813
7814 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7815 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7816 might.
7817 [Steve Henson]
7818
7819 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7820
7821 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7822 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7823
7824 ASN1 error codes
7825 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7826 ...
7827 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7828 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7829 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7830 ...
7831 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7832 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7833
7834 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7835 [Bodo Moeller]
7836
7837 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7838 suffices.
7839 [Bodo Moeller]
7840
7841 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7842 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7843 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7844 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7845 and
7846 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7847
7848 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7849 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7850
7851 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7852 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7853 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7854 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7855 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7856 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7857
7858 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7859 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7860
7861 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7862 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7863
7864 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7865 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7866
7867 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7868 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7869 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7870 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7871
7872 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7873 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7874
7875 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7876 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7877
7878 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7879 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7880 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7881 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7882 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7883 [Richard Levitte]
7884
7885 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7886 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7887 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7888 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7889 [Steve Henson]
7890
7891 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7892 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7893 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7894 trust settings.
7895 [Steve Henson]
7896
7897 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7898 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7899 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7900 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7901 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7902 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7903 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7904 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7905 ocsp utility.
7906 [Steve Henson]
7907
7908 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7909 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7910 [Steve Henson]
7911
7912 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7913 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7914 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7915 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7916 [Steve Henson]
7917
7918 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7919 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7920 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7921 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7922 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7923 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7924 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7925 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7926 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7927 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7928 [Steve Henson]
7929
7930 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7931 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7932 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7933 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7934 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7935 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7936 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7937 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7938
7939 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7940 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7941 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7942 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7943 [Richard Levitte]
7944
7945 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7946 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7947 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7948 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7949 opensslconf.h.
7950 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7951 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7952 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7953 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7954 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7955 what is available.
7956 [Richard Levitte]
7957
7958 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7959 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7960 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7961 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7962 auto incremented.
7963 [Steve Henson]
7964
7965 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7966 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7967 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7968 [Steve Henson]
7969
7970 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7971 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7972 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7973 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7974 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7975 [Steve Henson]
7976
7977 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7978 [Steve Henson]
7979
7980 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7981 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7982 option to ocsp utility.
7983 [Steve Henson]
7984
7985 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7986 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7987 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7988 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7989 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7990 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7991 the request is nonce-less.
7992 [Steve Henson]
7993
7994 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7995 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7996 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7997 [Bodo Moeller]
7998
7999 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8000 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8001 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8002 [Steve Henson]
8003
8004 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8005 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8006 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8007 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8008 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8009 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8010
8011 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8012 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8013 appear to exist.
8014 [Steve Henson]
8015
8016 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8017 additional certificates supplied.
8018 [Steve Henson]
8019
8020 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8021 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8022 signature against.
8023 [Richard Levitte]
8024
8025 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8026 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8027 AES OIDs.
8028
8029 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8030 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8031 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8032 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8033 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8034 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8035 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8036 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8037 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8038
8039 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8040 request to response.
8041 [Steve Henson]
8042
8043 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8044 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8045 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8046 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8047 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8048 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8049 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8050 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8051 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8052 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8053 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8054 [Steve Henson]
8055
8056 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8057 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8058 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8059 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8060 [Steve Henson]
8061
8062 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8063 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8064
8065 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8066 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8067 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8068 [Steve Henson]
8069
8070 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8071 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8072 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8073 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8074 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8075
8076 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8077 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8078 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8079 [Steve Henson]
8080
8081 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8082 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8083 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8084 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8085 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8086 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8087 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8088 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8089
8090 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8091 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8092 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8093 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8094 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8095 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8096 [Steve Henson]
8097
8098 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8099 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8100 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8101 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8102 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8103 printout format cleaned up.
8104 [Steve Henson]
8105
8106 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8107 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8108 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8109 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8110 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8111 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8112 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8113 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8114 [Steve Henson]
8115
8116 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8117 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8118 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8119 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8120 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8121 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8122 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8123 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8124 [Steve Henson]
8125
8126 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8127 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8128 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8129 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8130 section to use.
8131 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8132
8133 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8134 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8135 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8136 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8137 [Steve Henson]
8138
8139 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8140 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8141 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8142 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8143 in the index file.
8144 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8145
8146 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8147 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8148 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8149 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8150
8151 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8152 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8153
8154 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8155 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8156 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8157 [Steve Henson]
8158
8159 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8160 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8161 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8162 [Bodo Moeller]
8163
8164 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8165 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8166 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8167 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8168 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8169 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8170 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8171 functions are provided:
8172
8173 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8174 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8175 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8176 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8177
8178 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8179 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8180 extended allocation function is enabled.
8181 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8182 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8183 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8184
8185 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8186 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8187 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8188 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8189 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8190 [Geoff Thorpe]
8191
8192 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8193 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8194 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8195 be queried.
8196 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8197 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8198 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8199 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8200
8201 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8202 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8203 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8204 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8205 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8206 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8207 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8208 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8209 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8210 [Richard Levitte]
8211
8212 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8213 provide utility functions which an application needing
8214 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8215 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8216 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8217
8218 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8219 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8220 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8221 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8222 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8223 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8224 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8225 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8226 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8227
8228 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8229 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8230 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8231 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8232 [Steve Henson]
8233
8234 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8235 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8236 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8237 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8238 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8239 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8240 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8241 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8242 will be added elsewhere.
8243 [Steve Henson]
8244
8245 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8246 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8247 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8248 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8249 [Steve Henson]
8250
8251 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8252 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8253 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8254 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8255 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8256 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8257 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8258 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8259 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8260 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8261 to produce the required SET OF.
8262 [Steve Henson]
8263
8264 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8265 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8266 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8267 [Richard Levitte]
8268
8269 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8270 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8271 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8272 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8273 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8274 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8275 [Steve Henson]
8276
8277 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8278 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8279 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8280 [Steve Henson]
8281
8282 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8283 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8284 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8285 [Richard Levitte]
8286
8287 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8288 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8289 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8290 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8291 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8292 [Steve Henson]
8293
8294 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8295 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8296 [Steve Henson]
8297
8298 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8299 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8300 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8301 certificates and CRLs.
8302 [Steve Henson]
8303
8304 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8305 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8306 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8307 [Steve Henson]
8308
8309 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8310 entries for variables.
8311 [Steve Henson]
8312
8313 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8314 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8315 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8316 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8317 [Bodo Moeller]
8318
8319 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8320 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8321 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8322 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8323 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8324 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8325 [Bodo Moeller]
8326
8327 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8328 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8329
8330 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8331 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8332 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8333 [Steve Henson]
8334
8335 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8336 print routines.
8337 [Steve Henson]
8338
8339 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8340 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8341 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8342 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8343 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8344 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8345 [Steve Henson]
8346
8347 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8348 [Steve Henson]
8349
8350 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8351 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8352 for now but they will eventually go away.
8353 [Steve Henson]
8354
8355 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8356 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8357 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8358 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8359 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8360 has also been converted to the new form.
8361 [Steve Henson]
8362
8363 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8364 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8365 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8366 for negative moduli.
8367 [Bodo Moeller]
8368
8369 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8370 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8371 [Bodo Moeller]
8372
8373 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8374 set.
8375 [Bodo Moeller]
8376
8377 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8378 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8379 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8380 type-specific callbacks.
8381 [Geoff Thorpe]
8382
8383 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8384 RFC 2712.
8385 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8386 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8387
8388 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8389 in sections depending on the subject.
8390 [Richard Levitte]
8391
8392 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8393 Windows.
8394 [Richard Levitte]
8395
8396 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8397 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8398 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8399 be handled deterministically).
8400 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8401
8402 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8403 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8404 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8405 [Bodo Moeller]
8406
8407 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8408 [Bodo Moeller]
8409
8410 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8411 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8412 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8413 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8414 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8415 [Bodo Moeller]
8416
8417 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8418 sign of the number in question.
8419
8420 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8421
8422 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8423 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8424 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8425 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8426 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8427 [Bodo Moeller]
8428
8429 *) New function BN_swap.
8430 [Bodo Moeller]
8431
8432 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8433 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8434 results on negative inputs.
8435 [Bodo Moeller]
8436
8437 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8438 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8439 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8440 [Bodo Moeller]
8441
8442 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8443 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8444 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8445 and add new functions:
8446
8447 BN_nnmod
8448 BN_mod_sqr
8449 BN_mod_add
8450 BN_mod_add_quick
8451 BN_mod_sub
8452 BN_mod_sub_quick
8453 BN_mod_lshift1
8454 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8455 BN_mod_lshift
8456 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8457
8458 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8459
8460 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8461 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8462
8463 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8464 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8465 be reduced modulo m.
8466 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8467
8468 #if 0
8469 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8470 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8471 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8472
8473 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8474 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8475 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8476 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8477 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8478 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8479 differing sizes.
8480 [Richard Levitte]
8481 #endif
8482
8483 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8484 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8485 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8486 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8487 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8488
8489 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8490 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8491 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8492 cause any problems.
8493 [Bodo Moeller]
8494
8495 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8496 [Richard Levitte]
8497
8498 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8499 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8500 [Richard Levitte]
8501
8502 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8503 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8504 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8505 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8506 time)
8507 [Richard Levitte]
8508
8509 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8510 [Richard Levitte]
8511
8512 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8513 [Richard Levitte]
8514
8515 *) Add the following functions:
8516
8517 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8518 ENGINE_load_chil()
8519 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8520 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8521 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8522
8523 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8524 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8525 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8526 libraries unless it's really needed.
8527
8528 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8529 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8530 declarations (they differed!).
8531 [Richard Levitte]
8532
8533 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8534 [Richard Levitte]
8535
8536 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8537 [Richard Levitte]
8538
8539 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8540 [Bodo Moeller]
8541
8542 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8543 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8544 [Richard Levitte]
8545
8546 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8547 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8548 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8549
8550 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8551 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8552 [Richard Levitte]
8553
8554 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8555 [Richard Levitte]
8556
8557 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8558 [Richard Levitte]
8559
8560 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8561 [Ben Laurie]
8562
8563 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8564 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8565 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8566
8567 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8568 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8569 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8570 different shared library filenames on each system.
8571 [Geoff Thorpe]
8572
8573 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8574 [Richard Levitte]
8575
8576 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8577 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8578 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8579 of two sections.
8580 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8581
8582 *) NCONF changes.
8583 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8584 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8585 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8586 binary backward compatibility.
8587 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8588 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8589 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8590 LDAP server.
8591 [Richard Levitte]
8592
8593 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8594 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8595 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8596 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8597 this case.
8598 [Steve Henson]
8599
8600 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8601 [Ben Laurie]
8602
8603 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8604 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8605 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8606 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8607 set.
8608 [Steve Henson]
8609
8610 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8611 [Richard Levitte]
8612
8613 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8614
8615 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8616 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8617 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8618
8619 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8620
8621 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8622
8623 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8624 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8625 [Steve Henson]
8626
8627 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8628
8629 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8630
8631 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8632 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8633
8634 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8635 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8636
8637 [Steve Henson]
8638
8639 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8640 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8641 specifications.
8642 [Steve Henson]
8643
8644 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8645 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8646 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8647 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8648
8649 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8650 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8651 [Richard Levitte]
8652
8653 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8654
8655 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8656 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8657 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8658 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8659 [Bodo Moeller]
8660
8661 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8662 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8663 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8664 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8665 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8666
8667 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8668 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8669 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8670 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8671 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8672 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8673 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8674 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8675 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8676 [Bodo Moeller]
8677
8678 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8679
8680 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8681 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
8682 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8683 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8684 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8685
8686 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8687 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8688 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8689
8690 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8691
8692 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8693 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8694 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8695 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8696 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8697 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8698 [Geoff Thorpe]
8699
8700 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8701 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8702 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8703 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8704 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8705 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8706
8707 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8708 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8709 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8710
8711 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8712 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8713 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8714 EVP_cleanup().
8715 [Richard Levitte]
8716
8717 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8718 being properly terminated.
8719 [Richard Levitte]
8720
8721 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8722 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8723 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8724 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8725
8726 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8727 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8728 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8729 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8730 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8731 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8732 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8733 change.
8734 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8735
8736 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8737 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8738 [Bodo Moeller]
8739
8740 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8741 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8742 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8743 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8744 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8745 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8746 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8747 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8748
8749 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8750 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8751 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8752 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8753 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8754
8755 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8756 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8757 [Steve Henson]
8758
8759 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8760
8761 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8762 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8763 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8764
8765 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8766
8767 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8768 and get fix the header length calculation.
8769 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8770 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8771 Steve Henson]
8772
8773 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8774 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8775 assertions could call abort()).
8776 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8777
8778 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8779
8780 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8781 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8782 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8783 supplied buffer.
8784 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8785
8786 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8787 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8788 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8789 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8790
8791 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8792 [Nils Larsch]
8793
8794 *) New option
8795 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8796 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8797 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8798
8799 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8800 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8801 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8802 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8803 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8804 applications.
8805 [Bodo Moeller]
8806
8807 *) Changes in security patch:
8808
8809 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8810 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8811 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8812 F30602-01-2-0537.
8813
8814 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8815 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8816 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8817 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8818 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8819
8820 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8821 happen in practice.
8822 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8823
8824 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8825 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8826 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8827
8828 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8829 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8830 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8831
8832 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8833 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8834 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8835
8836 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8837
8838 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8839 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8840 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8841
8842 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8843 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8844
8845 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8846 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8847 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8848 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8849 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8850 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8851 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8852
8853 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8854 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8855 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8856 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8857 [Bodo Moeller]
8858
8859 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8860 [Bodo Moeller]
8861
8862 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8863 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8864 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8865 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8866 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8867 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8868
8869 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8870 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8871 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8872 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8873 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8874 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8875
8876 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8877 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8878 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8879 BN_generate_prime().)
8880
8881 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8882 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8883 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8884 better.
8885 [Bodo Moeller]
8886
8887 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8888 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8889 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8890
8891 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8892 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8893 when using non-blocking I/O.
8894 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8895
8896 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8897 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8898
8899 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8900 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8901 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8902
8903 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8904 configuration for the versions before that.
8905 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8906
8907 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8908 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8909 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8910 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8911 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8912
8913 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8914 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8915 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8916 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8917
8918 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8919 value is 0.
8920 [Richard Levitte]
8921
8922 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8923 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8924 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8925
8926 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8927 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8928
8929 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8930 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8931 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8932 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8933 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8934 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8935 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8936 session cache.
8937
8938 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8939 using a local variable.
8940 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8941
8942 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8943 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8944 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8945
8946 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8947 [Richard Levitte]
8948
8949 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8950 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8951
8952 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8953 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8954 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8955
8956 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8957
8958 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8959 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8960 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8961 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8962 [Bodo Moeller]
8963
8964 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8965 present.
8966 [Steve Henson]
8967
8968 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8969 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8970 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8971 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8972 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8973
8974 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8975 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8976 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8977
8978 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8979 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8980 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8981
8982 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8983 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8984 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8985 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8986
8987 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8988 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8989 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8990 modules).
8991 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8992
8993 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8994 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8995 from 0.9.7.
8996 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8997
8998 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8999 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9000 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9001 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9002
9003 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9004 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9005 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9006 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9007
9008 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9009 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9010
9011 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9012 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9013 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9014 [Bodo Moeller]
9015
9016 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9017 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9018 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9019 become invalid.
9020 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9021
9022 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9023 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9024 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9025 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9026 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9027 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9028 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9029 [Bodo Moeller]
9030
9031 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9032 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9033 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9034 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9035
9036 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9037 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9038 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9039 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9040 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9041 the client will at least see that alert.
9042 [Bodo Moeller]
9043
9044 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9045 correctly.
9046 [Bodo Moeller]
9047
9048 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9049 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9050 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9051
9052 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9053 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9054 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9055 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9056 HelloRequest.
9057
9058 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9059 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9060 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9061
9062 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9063 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9064 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9065 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9066 may leak via logfiles.)
9067
9068 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9069 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9070 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9071 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9072 the legal range.
9073 [Bodo Moeller]
9074
9075 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9076 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9077 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9078
9079 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9080 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9081 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9082 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9083 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9084 [Bodo Moeller]
9085
9086 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9087 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9088
9089 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9090 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9091 followed by modular reduction.
9092 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9093
9094 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9095 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9096 [Bodo Moeller]
9097
9098 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9099 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9100 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9101 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9102 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9103
9104 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9105 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9106
9107 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9108 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9109 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9110
9111 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9112 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9113 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9114 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9115 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9116 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9117 automatically.
9118 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9119
9120 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9121 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9122 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9123 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9124 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9125
9126 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9127 [Andy Polyakov]
9128
9129 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9130 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9131 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9132 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9133 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9134 to allow the necessary settings.
9135 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9136
9137 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9138 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9139 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9140 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9141 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9142
9143 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9144 dh->length and always used
9145
9146 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9147
9148 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9149 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9150 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9151 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9152 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9153 dh->length.
9154
9155 So switch back to
9156
9157 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9158
9159 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9160 otherwise.
9161 [Bodo Moeller]
9162
9163 *) In
9164
9165 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9166 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9167 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9168 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9169
9170 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9171 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9172 always reject numbers >= n.
9173 [Bodo Moeller]
9174
9175 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9176 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9177 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9178 variable) is not atomic.
9179 [Bodo Moeller]
9180
9181 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9182 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9183 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9184 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9185
9186 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9187 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9188
9189 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9190 little-endian MIPS.
9191 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9192
9193 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9194 [Richard Levitte]
9195
9196 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9197
9198 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9199 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9200 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9201 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9202 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9203 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9204 to traverse all of 'state'.
9205
9206 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9207 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9208 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9209
9210 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9211 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9212
9213 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9214 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9215 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9216 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9217 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9218 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9219 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9220 further strengthens the PRNG.
9221 [Bodo Moeller]
9222
9223 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9224 [Andy Polyakov]
9225
9226 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9227 an error message in this case.
9228 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9229
9230 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9231 [Steve Henson]
9232
9233 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9234 positive and less than q.
9235 [Bodo Moeller]
9236
9237 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9238 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9239 that itself.
9240 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9241
9242 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9243 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9244 [Bodo Moeller]
9245
9246 *) Fix OAEP check.
9247 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9248
9249 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9250 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9251 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9252 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9253 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9254 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9255 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9256 paper.)
9257
9258 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9259 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9260 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9261 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9262
9263 Both problems are now fixed.
9264 [Bodo Moeller]
9265
9266 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9267 (previously it was 1024).
9268 [Bodo Moeller]
9269
9270 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9271 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9272 [Steve Henson]
9273
9274 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9275 [Steve Henson]
9276
9277 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9278 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9279 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9280 [Steve Henson]
9281
9282 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9283 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9284 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9285 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9286 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9287 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9288 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9289 environment variables.
9290
9291 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9292 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9293 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9294 [Bodo Moeller]
9295
9296 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9297 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9298 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9299 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9300 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9301 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9302 [Bodo Moeller]
9303
9304 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9305 versions of 'test'.
9306 [Bodo Moeller]
9307
9308 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9309
9310 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9311 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9312
9313 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9314 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9315 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9316 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9317 CygWin.
9318 [Richard Levitte]
9319
9320 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9321 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9322 amount of data available.
9323 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9324 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9325
9326 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9327 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9328 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9329 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9330 [Bodo Moeller]
9331
9332 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9333 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9334 and UnixWare.
9335 [Richard Levitte]
9336
9337 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9338 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9339 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9340 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9341 [Ulf Moeller]
9342
9343 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9344 [Andy Polyakov]
9345
9346 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9347 [Richard Levitte]
9348
9349 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9350 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9351 [Steve Henson]
9352 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9353
9354 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9355 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9356 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9357 (but broken) behaviour.
9358 [Steve Henson]
9359
9360 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9361 it when found.
9362 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9363
9364 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9365 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9366 [Bodo Moeller]
9367
9368 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9369 did not exist.
9370 [Bodo Moeller]
9371
9372 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9373 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9374
9375 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9376 [Richard Levitte]
9377
9378 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9379 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9380 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9381
9382 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9383 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9384 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9385 [Steve Henson]
9386
9387 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9388 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9389 [Ulf Moeller]
9390
9391 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9392 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9393
9394 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9395
9396 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9397
9398 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9399 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9400 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9401 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9402 [Bodo Moeller]
9403
9404 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9405 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9406
9407 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9408 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9409 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9410
9411 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9412 was empty.
9413 [Steve Henson]
9414 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9415
9416 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9417 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9418 but the code is actually correct.
9419 [Steve Henson]
9420
9421 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9422 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9423 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9424 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9425 and leaves the highest bit random.
9426 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9427
9428 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9429 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9430 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9431 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9432 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9433 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9434 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9435 [Bodo Moeller]
9436
9437 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9438 [Ulf Moeller]
9439
9440 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9441 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9442 [Steve Henson]
9443
9444 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9445 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9446 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9447 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9448 headers.
9449 [Richard Levitte]
9450
9451 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9452 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9453 and break the signature.
9454 [Steve Henson]
9455 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9456
9457 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9458 DH ciphersuites.
9459 [Steve Henson]
9460
9461 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9462 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9463 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9464 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9465 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9466 [Bodo Moeller]
9467
9468 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9469 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9470
9471 *) ./config script fixes.
9472 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9473
9474 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9475 [Bodo Moeller]
9476
9477 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9478 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9479 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9480 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9481 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9482
9483 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9484 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9485 [Bodo Moeller]
9486
9487 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9488 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9489 [Steve Henson]
9490
9491 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9492 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9493 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9494 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9495
9496 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9497 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9498
9499 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9500 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9501 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9502 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9503 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9504
9505 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9506 [Bodo Moeller]
9507
9508 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9509 [Ulf Möller]
9510
9511 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9512 [Ulf Möller]
9513
9514 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9515 [Bodo Moeller]
9516
9517 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9518 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9519 [Bodo Moeller]
9520
9521 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9522 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9523 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9524 result of the server certificate verification.)
9525 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9526
9527 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9528 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9529 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9530 [Bodo Moeller]
9531
9532 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9533 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9534 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9535 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9536 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9537 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9538 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9539 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9540 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9541 [Bodo Moeller]
9542
9543 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9544 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9545 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9546 happening the other way round.
9547 [Geoff Thorpe]
9548
9549 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9550 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9551 [Bodo Moeller]
9552
9553 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9554 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9555 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9556 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9557 [Richard Levitte]
9558
9559 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9560 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9561
9562 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9563
9564 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9565 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9566 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9567 that.
9568
9569 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9570
9571 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9572
9573 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9574 static ones.
9575 [Richard Levitte]
9576
9577 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9578
9579 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9580 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9581 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9582 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9583 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9584
9585 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9586 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9587 matter what.
9588 [Richard Levitte]
9589
9590 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9591 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9592
9593 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9594
9595 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9596 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9597 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9598 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9599 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9600 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9601 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9602 by the Finished messages.
9603 [Bodo Moeller]
9604
9605 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9606 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9607
9608 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9609 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9610 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9611 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9612 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9613 appropriately.
9614 [Steve Henson]
9615
9616 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9617 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9618 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9619 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9620 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9621 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9622 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9623 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9624 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9625 together.
9626 [Steve Henson]
9627
9628 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9629 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9630 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9631 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9632
9633 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9634 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9635 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9636 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9637 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9638 the answer.
9639
9640 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9641 been tested well enough.
9642 [Richard Levitte]
9643
9644 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9645 it can return incorrect results.
9646 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9647 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9648 [Bodo Moeller]
9649
9650 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9651 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9652 include zero length content when signing messages.
9653 [Steve Henson]
9654
9655 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9656 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9657 [Bodo Möller]
9658
9659 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9660 [Richard Levitte]
9661
9662 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9663 wrong sign.
9664 [Ulf Möller]
9665
9666 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9667 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9668 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9669 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9670 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9671 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9672 [Richard Levitte]
9673
9674 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9675 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9676
9677 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9678 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9679
9680 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9681 random number < q in the DSA library.
9682 [Ulf Möller]
9683
9684 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9685 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9686 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9687 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9688 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9689 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9690 just makes things more complicated.)
9691 [Bodo Moeller]
9692
9693 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9694 from EGD.
9695 [Ben Laurie]
9696
9697 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9698 work better on such systems.
9699 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9700
9701 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9702 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9703 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9704 [Steve Henson]
9705
9706 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9707 if there was more than one signature.
9708 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9709
9710 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9711 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9712 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9713 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9714 [Richard Levitte]
9715
9716 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9717 rather than always using the current time.
9718 [Steve Henson]
9719
9720 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9721 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9722 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9723 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9724 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9725 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9726
9727 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9728 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9729
9730 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9731
9732 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9733 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9734 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9735 the same hash value.
9736
9737 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9738 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9739 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9740 with X509_STORE internally.
9741
9742 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9743 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9744
9745 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9746 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9747 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9748 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9749 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9750 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9751 entirely (maybe later...).
9752
9753 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9754
9755 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9756 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9757 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9758 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9759 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9760 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9761 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9762 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9763
9764 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9765 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9766
9767 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9768 to customise the verify behaviour.
9769 [Steve Henson]
9770
9771 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9772 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9773 [Steve Henson]
9774
9775 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9776 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9777 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9778 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9779 request is improperly encoded.
9780 [Steve Henson]
9781
9782 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9783 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9784 BIO_write(b, ...).
9785
9786 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9787 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9788
9789 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9790 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9791 words set to zero.)
9792 [Bodo Moeller]
9793
9794 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9795 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9796 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9797 [Bodo Moeller]
9798
9799 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9800 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9801 BIO/fp routines also added.
9802 [Steve Henson]
9803
9804 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9805 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9806
9807 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9808 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9809 demos/state_machine.
9810 [Ben Laurie]
9811
9812 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9813 generation and verification.
9814 [Steve Henson]
9815
9816 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9817 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9818 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9819 encode and decode it manually.
9820 [Steve Henson]
9821
9822 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9823 compile under VC++.
9824 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9825
9826 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9827 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9828 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9829 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9830
9831 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9832 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9833 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9834 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9835 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9836 [Steve Henson]
9837
9838 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9839 [Richard Levitte]
9840
9841 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
9842 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9843 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9844
9845 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9846 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9847 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9848 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9849 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9850 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9851 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9852 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9853
9854 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9855 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9856
9857 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9858
9859 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9860 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9861 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9862
9863 [Richard Levitte]
9864
9865 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9866 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9867 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9868 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9869 [Richard Levitte]
9870
9871 *) MD4 implemented.
9872 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9873
9874 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9875 [Richard Levitte]
9876
9877 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9878 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9879 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9880 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9881 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9882 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9883 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9884 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9885 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9886 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9887 short or long names are found.
9888 [Steve Henson]
9889
9890 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9891 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9892
9893 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9894 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9895 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9896 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9897
9898 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9899 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9900 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9901 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9902 [Bodo Moeller]
9903
9904 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9905 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9906 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9907 [Richard Levitte]
9908
9909 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9910 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9911 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9912 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9913 to allow the various flags to be set.
9914 [Steve Henson]
9915
9916 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9917 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9918 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9919 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9920 dates to be checked.
9921 [Steve Henson]
9922
9923 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9924 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9925 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9926 [Steve Henson]
9927
9928 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9929 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9930 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9931 [Steve Henson]
9932
9933 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9934 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9935 [Bodo Moeller]
9936
9937 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9938 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9939 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9940 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9941 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9942 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9943 [Richard Levitte]
9944
9945 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9946 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9947 Random Numbers.
9948 [Ulf Möller]
9949
9950 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9951 DSA key.
9952 [Steve Henson]
9953
9954 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9955 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9956 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9957 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9958 form signing output easier to verify.
9959 [Steve Henson]
9960
9961 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9962 [Steve Henson]
9963
9964 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9965 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9966 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9967 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9968 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9969 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9970 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9971 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9972 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9973 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9974 [Steve Henson]
9975
9976 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9977
9978 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9979 the syntax given in objects.README.
9980 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9981 obj_mac.h.
9982 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9983 obj_mac.h.
9984
9985 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9986 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9987 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9988 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9989 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9990 consistent name changes.
9991 [Richard Levitte]
9992
9993 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9994 [Bodo Moeller]
9995
9996 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9997 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9998 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9999 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10000 [Richard Levitte]
10001
10002 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10003 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10004 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10005 of safestack.h .
10006 [Steve Henson]
10007
10008 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10009 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10010 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10011 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10012 [Steve Henson]
10013
10014 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10015 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10016 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10017 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10018 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10019 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10020 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10021 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10022 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10023 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10024 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10025 [Steve Henson]
10026
10027 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10028 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10029 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10030 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10031 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10032 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10033 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10034 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10035 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10036 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10037 [Steve Henson]
10038
10039 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10040 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10041 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10042 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10043
10044 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10045 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10046 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10047 omit any duplicate addresses.
10048 [Steve Henson]
10049
10050 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10051 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10052 [Bodo Moeller]
10053
10054 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10055 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10056 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10057 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10058 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10059 [Bodo Moeller]
10060
10061 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10062 software:
10063 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10064 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10065 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10066 Free => OPENSSL_free
10067 [Richard Levitte]
10068
10069 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10070 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10071 [Bodo Moeller]
10072
10073 *) CygWin32 support.
10074 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10075
10076 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10077 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10078 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10079 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10080 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10081 approach.
10082 [Geoff Thorpe]
10083
10084 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10085 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10086 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10087 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10088 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10089 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10090 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10091 [Geoff Thorpe]
10092
10093 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10094 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10095 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10096 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10097 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10098 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10099 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10100 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10101 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10102 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10103 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10104 [Bodo Moeller]
10105
10106 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10107 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10108 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10109 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10110 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10111
10112 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10113 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10114 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10115 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10116 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10117
10118 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10119 ciphers.
10120
10121 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10122 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10123 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10124 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10125
10126 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10127
10128 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10129 of macros.
10130
10131 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10132 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10133 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10134 flags.
10135
10136 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10137 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10138 any installed hardware versions can.
10139 [Steve Henson]
10140
10141 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10142 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10143 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10144 number.
10145 [Bodo Moeller]
10146
10147 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10148 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10149 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10150 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10151 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10152
10153 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10154 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10155 [Steve Henson]
10156
10157 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10158 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10159 [Richard Levitte]
10160
10161 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10162 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10163 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10164 features.
10165 [Steve Henson]
10166
10167 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10168 [Ulf Möller]
10169
10170 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10171 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10172 but no ssl client purpose.
10173 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10174
10175 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10176 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10177 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10178 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10179 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10180 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10181 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10182 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10183 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10184 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10185 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10186 [Steve Henson]
10187
10188 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10189 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10190 be obtained from the error queue.
10191 [Bodo Moeller]
10192
10193 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10194 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10195 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10196 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10197 [Bodo Moeller]
10198
10199 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10200 [Ulf Möller]
10201
10202 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10203 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10204 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10205 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10206 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10207 [Geoff Thorpe]
10208
10209 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10210 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10211 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10212 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10213 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10214 [Geoff Thorpe]
10215
10216 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10217 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10218 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10219 may not be NULL.
10220 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10221
10222 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10223 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10224 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10225 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10226 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10227 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10228 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10229 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10230 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10231 or "the configuration storage API"...
10232
10233 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10234
10235 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10236 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10237
10238 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10239
10240 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10241
10242 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10243 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10244 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10245 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10246 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10247 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10248 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10249
10250 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10251 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10252 [Richard Levitte]
10253
10254 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10255 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10256 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10257 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10258 [Bodo Moeller]
10259
10260 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10261 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10262 them in a portable way.
10263 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10264
10265 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10266
10267 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10268
10269 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10270 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10271
10272 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10273 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10274 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10275 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10276
10277 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10278 was larger than the MD block size.
10279 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10280
10281 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10282 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10283 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10284 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10285 components.
10286 [Steve Henson]
10287
10288 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10289 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10290 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10291
10292 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10293 discouraged.
10294 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10295
10296 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10297 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10298 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10299 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10300 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10301 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10302
10303 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10304 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10305
10306 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10307 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10308 [Bodo Moeller]
10309
10310 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10311 [Bodo Moeller]
10312
10313 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10314 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10315 its own key.
10316 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10317 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10318 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10319 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10320 [Bodo Moeller]
10321
10322 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10323 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10324 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10325 does not suppress any output.
10326 [Richard Levitte]
10327
10328 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10329 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10330 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10331 with all the associated security issues.
10332
10333 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10334 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10335 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10336 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10337 use the value in the default purpose.
10338 [Steve Henson]
10339
10340 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10341 and fix a memory leak.
10342 [Steve Henson]
10343
10344 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10345 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10346 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10347 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10348 [Bodo Moeller]
10349
10350 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10351 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10352 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10353 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10354 [Bodo Moeller]
10355
10356 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10357 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10358 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10359 [Bodo Moeller]
10360
10361 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10362 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10363 [Bodo Moeller]
10364
10365 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10366 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10367 which was free.
10368 [Steve Henson]
10369
10370 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10371 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10372 [Bodo Moeller]
10373
10374 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10375 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10376 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10377 [Bodo Moeller]
10378
10379 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10380 number generation fails.
10381 [Bodo Moeller]
10382
10383 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10384 [Bodo Moeller]
10385
10386 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10387 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10388
10389 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10390 [Ulf Möller]
10391
10392 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10393 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10394
10395 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10396 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10397
10398 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10399
10400 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10401 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10402 [Steve Henson]
10403
10404 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10405 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10406
10407 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10408 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10409 [Ulf Möller]
10410
10411 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10412 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10413 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10414 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10415 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10416 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10417
10418 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10419 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10420 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10421 for example.
10422 [Steve Henson]
10423
10424 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10425 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10426 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10427 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10428 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10429 counter, some don't.)
10430 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10431 counters or duplicate objects.
10432 [Steve Henson]
10433
10434 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10435 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10436 [Steve Henson]
10437
10438 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10439 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10440 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10441
10442 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10443 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10444 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10445 or -rand.
10446 [Ulf Möller]
10447
10448 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10449 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10450 [Steve Henson]
10451
10452 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10453 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10454 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10455 cipher list.
10456 [Steve Henson]
10457
10458 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10459 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10460 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10461 [Steve Henson]
10462
10463 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10464 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10465 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10466 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10467 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10468 should work without changes.
10469 [Richard Levitte]
10470
10471 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10472 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10473 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10474 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10475 must be defined. E.g.,
10476 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10477 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10478 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10479 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10480
10481 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10482 record layer.
10483 [Bodo Moeller]
10484
10485 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10486 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10487 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10488 [Steve Henson]
10489
10490 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10491 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10492 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10493 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10494 [Steve Henson]
10495
10496 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10497 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10498 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10499 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10500 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10501 is prompted for as usual.
10502 [Steve Henson]
10503
10504 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10505 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10506 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10507 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10508
10509 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10510 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10511 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10512 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10513 [Steve Henson]
10514
10515 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10516 [Andy Polyakov]
10517
10518 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10519 of seed file.
10520 [Steve Henson]
10521
10522 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10523 [Bodo Moeller]
10524
10525 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10526 [Steve Henson]
10527
10528 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10529 bits.
10530 [Ulf Möller]
10531
10532 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10533 [Ulf Möller]
10534
10535 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10536 [Andy Polyakov]
10537
10538 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10539 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10540 [Ulf Möller]
10541
10542 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10543 options to produce them.
10544 [Steve Henson]
10545
10546 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10547 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10548 [Ulf Möller]
10549
10550 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10551 for p == 0.
10552 [Ulf Möller]
10553
10554 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10555 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10556 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10557 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10558 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10559 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10560 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10561 [Steve Henson]
10562
10563 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10564 [Steve Henson]
10565
10566 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10567 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10568 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10569 [Bodo Moeller]
10570
10571 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10572 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10573
10574 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10575 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10576 [Ulf Möller]
10577
10578 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10579 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10580 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10581 has already seen).
10582 [Bodo Moeller]
10583
10584 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10585 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10586
10587 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10588 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10589 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10590 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10591 generation becomes much faster.
10592
10593 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10594 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10595 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10596 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10597 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10598 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10599 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10600 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10601 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10602 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10603 [Bodo Moeller]
10604
10605 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10606 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10607 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10608 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10609 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10610 trial division stage.
10611 [Bodo Moeller]
10612
10613 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10614 as ASN1_TIME.
10615 [Steve Henson]
10616
10617 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10618 [Steve Henson]
10619
10620 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10621 [Ulf Möller]
10622
10623 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10624 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10625 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10626 the comments.
10627 [Ulf Möller]
10628
10629 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10630 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10631 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10632 [Bodo Moeller]
10633
10634 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10635 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10636 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10637 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10638
10639 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10640 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10641 [Steve Henson]
10642
10643 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10644 [Ulf Möller]
10645
10646 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10647 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10648 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10649 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10650 [Ulf Möller]
10651
10652 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10653 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10654 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10655 [Ulf Möller]
10656
10657 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10658 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10659 (instead of parameters) in future.
10660 [Steve Henson]
10661
10662 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10663 when a new cipher list is set.
10664 [Steve Henson]
10665
10666 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10667 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10668 wrong.
10669
10670 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10671 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10672 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10673
10674 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10675 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10676 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10677 an error is flagged.
10678
10679 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10680 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10681 the readability was also increased :-)
10682 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10683
10684 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10685 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10686 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10687 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10688 as the root CA.
10689 [Steve Henson]
10690
10691 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10692 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10693 [Steve Henson]
10694
10695 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10696 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10697 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10698 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10699 instead.
10700
10701 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10702 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10703 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10704 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10705 because they handle more complex structures.)
10706 [Steve Henson]
10707
10708 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10709 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10710 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10711 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10712
10713 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10714 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10715 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10716 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10717 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10718 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10719 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10720 [Ulf Möller]
10721
10722 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10723 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10724 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10725 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10726 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10727 [Bodo Moeller]
10728
10729 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10730 [Bodo Moeller]
10731
10732 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10733 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10734 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10735 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10736 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10737 to use this.
10738
10739 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10740 code.
10741 [Steve Henson]
10742
10743 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10744 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10745 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10746 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10747 [Steve Henson]
10748
10749 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10750 [Ulf Möller]
10751
10752 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10753 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10754 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10755 international characters are used.
10756
10757 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10758 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10759 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10760 in ASN1 order.
10761 [Steve Henson]
10762
10763 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10764 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10765 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10766 request.
10767
10768 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10769 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10770 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10771 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10772 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10773 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10774
10775 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10776 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10777 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10778 be handled by the string table functions.
10779
10780 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10781 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10782 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10783 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10784 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10785 types at all.
10786 [Steve Henson]
10787
10788 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10789 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10790 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10791 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10792 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10793
10794 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10795 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10796 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10797 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10798 [Bodo Moeller]
10799
10800 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10801 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10802 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10803 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10804 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10805 SHA1.
10806 [Andy Polyakov]
10807
10808 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10809 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10810 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10811 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10812 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10813 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10814 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10815 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10816
10817 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10818 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10819 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10820 [Steve Henson]
10821
10822 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10823 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10824 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10825 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10826 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10827 support to pkcs8 application.
10828 [Steve Henson]
10829
10830 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10831 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10832 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10833 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10834 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10835 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10836 [Bodo Moeller]
10837
10838 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10839 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10840 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10841 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10842 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10843 consistency.
10844 [Bodo Moeller]
10845
10846 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10847 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10848 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10849 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10850 example.
10851 [Steve Henson]
10852
10853 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10854 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10855 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10856 and any application specific purposes.
10857
10858 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10859 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10860 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10861 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10862 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10863 if the certificate is self signed.
10864 [Steve Henson]
10865
10866 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10867 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10868 [Steve Henson]
10869
10870 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10871 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10872 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10873 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10874 [Steve Henson]
10875
10876 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10877 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10878 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10879 Update documentation.
10880 [Steve Henson]
10881
10882 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10883 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10884 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10885 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10886 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10887 [Steve Henson]
10888
10889 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10890 for details.
10891 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10892
10893 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10894 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10895 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10896 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10897 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10898 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10899 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10900 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10901 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10902 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10903
10904 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10905
10906 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10907 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10908 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10909 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10910 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10911
10912 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10913 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10914 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10915 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10916 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10917 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10918 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10919 request additional information:
10920 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10921 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10922
10923 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10924 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10925 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10926 options.
10927
10928 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10929 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10930
10931 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10932 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10933 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10934
10935 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10936 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10937
10938 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10939 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10940 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10941 algorithm.
10942 [Steve Henson]
10943
10944 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10945 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10946 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10947
10948 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10949 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10950 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10951 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10952 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10953 included in OpenSSL.
10954 [Steve Henson]
10955
10956 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10957 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10958 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10959 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10960 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10961 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10962 [Bodo Moeller]
10963
10964 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10965 PKCS12 structure.
10966 [Steve Henson]
10967
10968 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10969 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10970 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10971 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10972 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10973 structure.
10974 [Steve Henson]
10975
10976 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10977 need initialising.
10978 [Steve Henson]
10979
10980 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10981 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10982 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10983 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10984 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10985 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10986 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10987 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10988 be maintained manually.
10989
10990 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10991 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10992 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10993 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10994 work because people forget to call this function]
10995 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10996 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10997 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10998 [Steve Henson]
10999
11000 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11001 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11002 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11003 should be discouraged from doing it.
11004 [Ben Laurie]
11005
11006 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11007 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11008 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11009 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11010 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11011 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11012 [Steve Henson]
11013
11014 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11015 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11016 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11017
11018 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11019 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11020 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11021
11022 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11023 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11024 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11025 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11026 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11027 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11028
11029 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11030 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11031 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11032
11033 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11034 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11035 and vice versa.
11036
11037 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11038 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11039 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11040 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11041 [Steve Henson]
11042
11043 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11044 [Steve Henson]
11045
11046 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11047 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11048 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11049 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11050 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11051 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11052 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11053 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11054 keys so we should be OK.
11055
11056 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11057 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11058 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11059 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11060 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11061 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11062 stay in the name of compatibility.
11063
11064 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11065 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11066 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11067
11068 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11069 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11070 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11071 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11072 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11073 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11074 supplied key).
11075 [Steve Henson]
11076
11077 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11078 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11079 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11080 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11081 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11082 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11083 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11084 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11085 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11086 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11087 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11088 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11089 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11090 [Steve Henson]
11091
11092 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11093 [Steve Henson]
11094
11095 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11096 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11097 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11098 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11099 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11100 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11101 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11102 openssl verify ss.pem
11103 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11104 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11105 is OK.
11106 [Steve Henson]
11107
11108 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11109 (and add it to external session representation).
11110 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11111 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11112 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11113 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11114 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11115 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11116 security holes.
11117 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11118
11119 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11120 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11121 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11122 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11123
11124 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11125 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11126 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11127 [Steve Henson]
11128
11129 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11130 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11131 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11132 code.
11133 [Steve Henson]
11134
11135 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11136 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11137 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11138
11139 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11140 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11141 certificate auxiliary information.
11142 [Steve Henson]
11143
11144 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11145 the 'enc' command.
11146 [Steve Henson]
11147
11148 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11149 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11150 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11151 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11152 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11153 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11154 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11155 [Richard Levitte]
11156
11157 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11158 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11159 [Steve Henson]
11160
11161 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11162 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11163 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11164 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11165 [Steve Henson]
11166
11167 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11168 [Steve Henson]
11169
11170 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11171 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11172 [Steve Henson]
11173
11174 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11175 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11176 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11177 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11178 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11179 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11180 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11181 using the new 'x509' options.
11182
11183 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11184 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11185 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11186 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11187 for all purposes.
11188 [Steve Henson]
11189
11190 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11191 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11192 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11193 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11194 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11195 [Mark Cox]
11196
11197 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11198 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11199 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11200 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11201 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11202 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11203 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11204 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11205 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11206 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11207 [Steve Henson]
11208
11209 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11210 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11211 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11212 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11213 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11214 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11215 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11216 [Steve Henson]
11217
11218 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11219 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11220 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11221 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11222 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11223 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11224 openssl.cnf for more info.
11225 [Steve Henson]
11226
11227 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11228 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11229 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11230 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11231 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11232 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11233 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11234 md should be large enough anyway.
11235 [Bodo Moeller]
11236
11237 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11238 for handling the random seed file.
11239
11240 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11241 ca,
11242 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11243 s_client,
11244 s_server,
11245 x509 (when signing).
11246 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11247 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11248 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11249
11250 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11251 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11252 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11253 that support '-rand'.
11254 [Bodo Moeller]
11255
11256 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11257 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11258 [Bodo Moeller]
11259
11260 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11261 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11262 [Bill Perry]
11263
11264 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11265 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11266 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11267 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11268 is suitable.
11269 [Steve Henson]
11270
11271 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11272 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11273 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11274 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11275 [Steve Henson]
11276
11277 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11278 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11279 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11280 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11281 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11282 print out all the purposes.
11283 [Steve Henson]
11284
11285 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11286 functions.
11287 [Steve Henson]
11288
11289 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11290 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11291 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11292 single function call.
11293 [Steve Henson]
11294
11295 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11296 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11297 [Andy Polyakov]
11298
11299 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11300 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11301 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11302 [Steve Henson]
11303
11304 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11305 when producing the local key id.
11306 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11307
11308 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11309 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11310 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11311 "server.pem".
11312 [Steve Henson]
11313
11314 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11315 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11316 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11317 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11318 [Steve Henson]
11319
11320 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11321 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11322 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11323 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11324
11325 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11326 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11327 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11328 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11329
11330 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11331 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11332 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11333 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11334 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11335 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11336 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11337 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11338 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11339 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11340 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11341 trivial: move one line.
11342 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11343
11344 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11345 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11346 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11347 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11348 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11349 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11350 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11351 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11352 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11353 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11354 with an event loop for example.
11355 [Steve Henson]
11356
11357 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11358 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11359 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11360 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11361 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11362 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11363 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11364 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11365 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11366 [Steve Henson]
11367
11368 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11369 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11370 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11371 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11372 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11373 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11374 [Steve Henson]
11375
11376 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11377 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11378 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11379 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11380
11381 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11382 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11383 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11384 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11385 key generation.
11386 [Steve Henson]
11387
11388 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11389 (still largely untested)
11390 [Bodo Moeller]
11391
11392 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11393 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11394 [Steve Henson]
11395
11396 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11397 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11398 [Steve Henson]
11399
11400 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11401 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11402 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11403 [Bodo Moeller]
11404
11405 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11406 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11407 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11408 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11409 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11410 [Steve Henson]
11411
11412 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11413 [Andy Polyakov]
11414
11415 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11416 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11417 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11418 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11419 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11420 in ca.
11421 [Steve Henson]
11422
11423 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11424 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11425 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11426 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11427 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11428 [Steve Henson]
11429
11430 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11431 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11432 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11433 are otherwise ignored at present.
11434 [Steve Henson]
11435
11436 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11437 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11438 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11439 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11440 copied until the next read.
11441 [Steve Henson]
11442
11443 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11444 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11445 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11446 [Steve Henson]
11447
11448 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11449 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11450 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11451 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11452 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11453 associated functions.
11454 [Steve Henson]
11455
11456 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11457 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11458 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11459 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11460 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11461 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11462 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11463 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11464 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11465 memory BIOs.
11466 [Steve Henson]
11467
11468 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11469 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11470 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11471 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11472 [Bodo Moeller]
11473
11474 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11475 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11476 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11477 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11478 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11479 functionality.
11480 [Steve Henson]
11481
11482 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11483 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11484 under Win32.
11485 [Steve Henson]
11486
11487 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11488 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11489 extensions to be obtained and added.
11490 [Steve Henson]
11491
11492 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11493 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11494 [Bodo Moeller]
11495
11496 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11497
11498 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11499 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11500
11501 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11502 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11503
11504 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11505 program.
11506 [Steve Henson]
11507
11508 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11509 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11510 DH parameters contain its length).
11511
11512 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11513 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11514 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11515 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11516 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11517 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11518 utter importance to use
11519 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11520 or
11521 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11522 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11523 attacks may become possible!
11524 [Bodo Moeller]
11525
11526 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11527 [Bodo Moeller]
11528
11529 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11530 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11531 [Steve Henson]
11532
11533 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11534 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11535 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11536 or long name.
11537 [Steve Henson]
11538
11539 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11540 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11541 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11542 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11543 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11544 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11545 private key operations.
11546 [Steve Henson]
11547
11548 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11549 [Andy Polyakov]
11550
11551 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11552 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11553 to
11554 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11555 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11556 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11557 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11558 the password callback is called.
11559 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11560
11561 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11562
11563 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11564 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11565 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11566 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11567 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11568 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11569 this will work.
11570
11571 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11572 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11573 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11574 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11575 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11576 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11577 [Bodo Moeller]
11578
11579 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11580 [Andy Polyakov]
11581
11582 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11583 delete an unused file.
11584 [Ulf Möller]
11585
11586 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11587 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11588 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11589 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11590 [Steve Henson]
11591
11592 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11593 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11594 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11595 of an error.
11596 [Bodo Moeller]
11597
11598 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11599 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11600 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11601
11602 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11603 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11604 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11605 comparison" warnings.
11606 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11607 [Steve Henson]
11608
11609 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11610 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11611 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11612 [Steve Henson]
11613
11614 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11615 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11616
11617 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11618 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11619
11620 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11621 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11622 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11623
11624 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11625 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11626 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11627 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11628 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11629 this bug.
11630 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11631
11632 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11633 The interface is as follows:
11634 Applications can use
11635 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11636 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11637 "off" is now the default.
11638 The library internally uses
11639 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11640 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11641 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11642
11643 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11644 even the default) are now avoided.
11645
11646 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11647 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11648 than just having a counter.
11649
11650 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11651
11652 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11653 extensions.
11654 [Bodo Moeller]
11655
11656 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11657 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11658 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11659 Initial "mode" flags are:
11660
11661 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11662 a single record has been written.
11663 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11664 retries use the same buffer location.
11665 (But all of the contents must be
11666 copied!)
11667 [Bodo Moeller]
11668
11669 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11670 worked.
11671
11672 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11673 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11674
11675 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11676 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11677 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11678 [Steve Henson]
11679
11680 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11681 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11682 test programs.
11683 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11684
11685 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11686 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11687 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11688 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11689 point to the end.
11690 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11691 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11692
11693 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11694 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11695 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11696 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11697 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11698 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11699 [Steve Henson]
11700
11701 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11702 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11703 necessary function names.
11704 [Steve Henson]
11705
11706 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11707 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11708 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11709 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11710 [Bodo Moeller]
11711
11712 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11713 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11714 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11715 [Steve Henson]
11716
11717 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11718 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11719 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11720 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11721 such programs?)
11722 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11723 need locks.
11724 [Bodo Moeller]
11725
11726 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11727 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11728 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11729 [Bodo Moeller]
11730
11731 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11732 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11733 appropriate.
11734 [Bodo Moeller]
11735
11736 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11737 for the encoded length.
11738 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11739
11740 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11741 [Steve Henson]
11742
11743 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11744 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11745 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11746 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11747 [Steve Henson]
11748
11749 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11750 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11751 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11752
11753 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11754 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11755 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11756 unusual formatting.
11757 [Steve Henson]
11758
11759 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11760 to use the new extension code.
11761 [Steve Henson]
11762
11763 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11764 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11765 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11766 constant.
11767 [Steve Henson]
11768
11769 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11770 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11771 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11772 [Bodo Moeller]
11773
11774 #if 0
11775 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11776 [Ben Laurie]
11777 #else
11778 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11779 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11780 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11781 #endif
11782
11783 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11784 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11785 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11786 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11787 [Ben Laurie]
11788
11789 *) DES library cleanups.
11790 [Ulf Möller]
11791
11792 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11793 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11794 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11795 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11796 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11797 of v2.0.
11798 [Steve Henson]
11799
11800 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11801 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11802 [Bodo Moeller]
11803
11804 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11805 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11806 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11807 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11808 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11809 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11810 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11811 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11812 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11813 [Steve Henson]
11814
11815 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11816 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11817 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11818 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11819 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11820 value doesn't matter.
11821 [Steve Henson]
11822
11823 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11824 support mutable.
11825 [Ben Laurie]
11826
11827 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11828 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11829 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11830 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11831
11832 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11833 [Ulf Möller]
11834
11835 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11836 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11837 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11838
11839 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11840 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11841
11842 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11843 [Ben Laurie]
11844
11845 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11846 [Ben Laurie]
11847
11848 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11849 [Ben Laurie]
11850
11851 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11852 [Bodo Moeller]
11853
11854
11855 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11856
11857 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11858
11859 *) Updated some demos.
11860 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11861
11862 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11863 [Wu Zhigang]
11864
11865 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11866 [Steve Henson]
11867
11868 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11869 [Steve Henson]
11870
11871 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11872 instead of using a fixed path.
11873 [Bodo Moeller]
11874
11875 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11876 [Andy Polyakov]
11877
11878 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11879 [Richard Levitte]
11880
11881
11882 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11883
11884 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11885 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11886 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11887
11888 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11889 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11890 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11891 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11892 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11893 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11894 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11895 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11896 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11897 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11898 [Steve Henson]
11899
11900 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11901 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11902 [Steve Henson]
11903
11904 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11905 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11906 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11907 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11908 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11909
11910 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11911 [Bodo Moeller]
11912
11913 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11914 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11915 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11916 [Steve Henson]
11917
11918 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11919 [Ben Laurie]
11920
11921 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11922 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11923 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11924 key elements as negative integers.
11925 [Steve Henson]
11926
11927 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11928 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11929
11930 *) VMS support.
11931 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11932
11933 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11934 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11935 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11936 [Steve Henson]
11937
11938 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11939 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11940 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11941 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11942 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11943 [Bodo Moeller]
11944
11945 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11946 [Ulf Möller]
11947
11948 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11949 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11950 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11951 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11952
11953 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11954 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11955 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11956
11957 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11958 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11959 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11960 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11961 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11962 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11963 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11964 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11965 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11966
11967 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11968 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11969 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11970 does not influence s as it used to.
11971
11972 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11973 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11974 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11975 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11976 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11977 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11978 [Bodo Moeller]
11979
11980 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11981 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11982 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11983 key type.
11984 [Steve Henson]
11985
11986 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11987 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11988 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11989 and 'x509').
11990 [Steve Henson]
11991
11992 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11993 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11994 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11995 extension option.
11996 [Steve Henson]
11997
11998 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11999 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12000 [Ben Laurie]
12001
12002 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12003 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12004
12005 *) Support Mingw32.
12006 [Ulf Möller]
12007
12008 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12009 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12010
12011 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12012 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12013
12014 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12015 [Ulf Möller]
12016
12017 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12018 [Anonymous]
12019
12020 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12021 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12022
12023 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12024 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12025 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12026 DER-encoded.)
12027 [Bodo Moeller]
12028
12029 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12030 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12031 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12032 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12033 now it really counts the depth.
12034 [Bodo Moeller]
12035
12036 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12037 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12038 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12039 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12040 didn't match the private key).
12041
12042 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12043 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12044 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12045 [Bodo Moeller]
12046
12047 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12048 [Ulf Möller]
12049
12050 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12051 David Harris.
12052 [Bodo Moeller]
12053
12054 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12055 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12056 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12057 [Bodo Moeller]
12058
12059 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12060 [Bodo Moeller]
12061
12062 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12063 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12064 such as /usr/local/bin.
12065 [Bodo Moeller]
12066
12067 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12068 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12069
12070 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12071 [Ulf Möller]
12072
12073 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12074 extension adding in x509 utility.
12075 [Steve Henson]
12076
12077 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12078 [Ulf Möller]
12079
12080 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12081 prototypes.
12082 [Steve Henson]
12083
12084 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12085 [Ulf Möller]
12086
12087 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12088 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12089 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12090 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12091 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12092 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12093 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12094 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12095 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12096 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12097 [Steve Henson]
12098
12099 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12100 [Bodo Moeller]
12101
12102 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12103 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12104 [Bodo Moeller]
12105
12106 *) Fix some race conditions.
12107 [Bodo Moeller]
12108
12109 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12110 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12111 [Steve Henson]
12112
12113 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12114 [Ulf Möller]
12115
12116 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12117 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12118 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12119 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12120
12121 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12122 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12123
12124 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12125 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12126 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12127
12128 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12129 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12130
12131 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12132 [Ulf Möller]
12133
12134 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12135 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12136
12137 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12138 [Ulf Möller]
12139
12140 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12141 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12142
12143 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12144 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12145 [Steve Henson]
12146
12147 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12148 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12149 [Ben Laurie]
12150
12151 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12152 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12153 [Steve Henson]
12154
12155 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12156 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12157 [Steve Henson]
12158
12159 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12160 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12161 [Steve Henson]
12162
12163 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12164 support typesafe stack.
12165 [Steve Henson]
12166
12167 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12168 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12169
12170 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12171 old X509V3 handling code.
12172 [Steve Henson]
12173
12174 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12175 [Ulf Möller]
12176
12177 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12178 [Bodo Moeller]
12179
12180 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12181 [Ben Laurie]
12182
12183 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12184 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12185
12186 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12187 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12188 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12189 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12190 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12191 [Ben Laurie]
12192
12193 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12194 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12195 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12196 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12197 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12198
12199 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12200 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12201 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12202 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12203
12204 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12205 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12206 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12207 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12208
12209 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12210 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12211 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12212 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12213 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12214 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12215 [Bodo Moeller]
12216
12217 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12218 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12219 [Bodo Moeller]
12220
12221 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12222 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12223 [Ulf Möller]
12224
12225 *) Tweaks to Configure
12226 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12227
12228 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12229 yet...
12230 [Steve Henson]
12231
12232 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12233 [Ulf Möller]
12234
12235 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12236 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12237 [Ulf Möller]
12238
12239 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12240 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12241 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12242 [Bodo Moeller]
12243
12244 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12245 [Bodo Moeller]
12246
12247 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12248 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12249 [Steve Henson]
12250
12251 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12252 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12253 to library startup routines.
12254 [Steve Henson]
12255
12256 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12257 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12258 codes along the way.
12259 [Steve Henson]
12260
12261 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12262 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12263 objects to objects.h
12264 [Steve Henson]
12265
12266 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12267 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12268 [Steve Henson]
12269
12270 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12271 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12272
12273 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12274 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12275 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12276
12277 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12278 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12279 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12280
12281 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12282 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12283 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12284
12285
12286 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12287
12288 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12289 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12290 [Ben Laurie]
12291
12292 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12293 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12294 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12295 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12296 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12297
12298 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12299 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12300 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12301 document.
12302 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12303
12304 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12305 Malloc, Free.
12306 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12307
12308 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12309 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12310
12311 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12312 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12313 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12314 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12315
12316 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12317 [Ben Laurie]
12318
12319 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12320 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12321 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12322 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12323 [Steve Henson]
12324
12325 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12326 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12327 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12328 [Steve Henson]
12329
12330 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12331 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12332 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12333 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12334 installed as `perl').
12335 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12336
12337 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12338 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12339
12340 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12341 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12342 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12343 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12344 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12345 [Steve Henson]
12346
12347 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12348 [Ben Laurie]
12349
12350 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12351 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12352 is horrible: I feel ill....
12353 [Steve Henson]
12354
12355 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12356 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12357 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12358 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12359 [Steve Henson]
12360
12361 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12362 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12363
12364 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12365 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12366 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12367 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12368
12369 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12370 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12371 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12372 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12373 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12374 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12375 openssl_bio.xs.
12376 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12377
12378 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12379 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12380
12381 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12382 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12383
12384 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12385 [Ben Laurie]
12386
12387 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12388 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12389 in CRLs.
12390 [Steve Henson]
12391
12392 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12393 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12394 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12395 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12396 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12397 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12398 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12399 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12400 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12401 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12402 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12403
12404 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12405 [Ben Laurie]
12406
12407 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12408 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12409 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12410 for linking it into DSOs.
12411 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12412
12413 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12414 Fixed.
12415 [Ben Laurie]
12416
12417 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12418 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12419 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12420 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12421 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12422 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12423
12424 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12425 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12426 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12427 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12428 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12429 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12430 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12431
12432 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12433 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12434 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12435 encryption.
12436 [Ben Laurie]
12437
12438 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12439 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12440 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12441 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12442 [Steve Henson]
12443
12444 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12445 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12446 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12447 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12448 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12449 field as blank.
12450 [Steve Henson]
12451
12452 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12453 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12454 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12455 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12456 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12457
12458 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12459 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12460 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12461
12462 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12463 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12464
12465 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12466 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12467 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12468 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12469 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12470 [Steve Henson]
12471
12472 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12473 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12474 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12475 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12476 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12477 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12478 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12479 [Ben Laurie]
12480
12481 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12482 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12483 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12484 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12485 [Ben Laurie]
12486
12487 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12488 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12489
12490 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12491 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12492 [Steve Henson]
12493
12494 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12495 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12496 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12497 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12498 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12499 (e.g. s_server).
12500 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12501 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12502 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12503 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12504 no way to reconfigure them.
12505 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12506 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12507 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12508 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12509 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12510 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12511
12512 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12513 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12514 recognized by the users.
12515 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12516
12517 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12518 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12519 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12520 already masked variable.
12521 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12522
12523 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12524 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12525
12526 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12527 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12528 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12529 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12530
12531 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12532 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12533 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12534
12535 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12536 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12537 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12538 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12539 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12540 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12541 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12542 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12543 now, too.
12544 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12545
12546 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12547 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12548 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12549
12550 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12551 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12552 config file.
12553 [Steve Henson]
12554
12555 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12556 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12557
12558 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12559 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12560 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12561 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12562 [Ben Laurie]
12563
12564 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12565 [Steve Henson]
12566
12567 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12568 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12569
12570 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12571 [Ben Laurie]
12572
12573 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12574 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12575 [Steve Henson]
12576
12577 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12578 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12579 [Steve Henson]
12580
12581 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12582 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12583 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12584 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12585 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12586 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12587 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12588 Ben Laurie]
12589
12590 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12591 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12592
12593 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12594 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12595 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12596 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12597 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12598
12599 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12600 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12601 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12602 [Steve Henson]
12603
12604 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12605 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12606 an example.
12607 [Steve Henson]
12608
12609 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12610 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12611 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12612
12613 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12614 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12615 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12616 build instructions.
12617 [Steve Henson]
12618
12619 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12620 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12621 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12622 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12623 [Steve Henson]
12624
12625 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12626 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12627 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12628 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12629 [Ben Laurie]
12630
12631 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12632 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12633 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12634 so it wasn't spotted.
12635 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12636
12637 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12638 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12639 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12640 vectors if you have them.
12641 [Ben Laurie]
12642
12643 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12644 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12645 [Ben Laurie]
12646
12647 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12648 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12649 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12650 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12651 If you do a:
12652 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12653 it will update them.
12654 [Steve Henson]
12655
12656 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12657 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12658 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12659 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12660 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12661 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12662 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12663 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12664
12665 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12666 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12667 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12668 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12669 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12670 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12671 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12672 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12673 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12674 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12675
12676 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12677 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12678 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12679 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12680 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12681 [Steve Henson]
12682
12683 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12684 INTEGER code.
12685 [Steve Henson]
12686
12687 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12688 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12689
12690 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12691 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12692
12693 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12694 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12695 [Ben Laurie]
12696
12697 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12698 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12699
12700 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12701 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12702
12703 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12704 [Steve Henson]
12705
12706 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12707 few typos.
12708 [Steve Henson]
12709
12710 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12711 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12712 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12713 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12714
12715 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12716 [Steve Henson]
12717
12718 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12719 [Steve Henson]
12720
12721 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12722 [Steve Henson]
12723
12724 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12725 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12726 [Steve Henson]
12727
12728 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12729 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12730 CA extensions.
12731 [Steve Henson]
12732
12733 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12734 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12735 [Steve Henson]
12736
12737 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12738 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12739 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12740 [Steve Henson]
12741
12742 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12743 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12744 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12745 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12746 properly to be processed.
12747 [Steve Henson]
12748
12749 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12750 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12751 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12752 [Ben Laurie]
12753
12754 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12755 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12756
12757 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12758 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12759 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12760 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12761 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12762 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12763 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12764 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12765 or delete all the .err files.
12766 [Steve Henson]
12767
12768 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12769 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12770 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12771 to regenerate it if needed.
12772 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12773 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12774
12775 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12776 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12777
12778 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12779 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12780 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12781 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12782 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12783 [Steve Henson]
12784
12785 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12786 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12787
12788 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12789 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12790
12791 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12792 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12793 error, but didn't set one).
12794 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12795
12796 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12797 [Ben Laurie]
12798
12799 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12800 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12801 [Steve Henson]
12802
12803 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12804 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12805
12806 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12807 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12808 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12809 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12810 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12811 OID is not part of the table.
12812 [Steve Henson]
12813
12814 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12815 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12816 [Ben Laurie]
12817
12818 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12819 [Ben Laurie]
12820
12821 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12822 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12823 was "1234").
12824 [Steve Henson]
12825
12826 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12827 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12828
12829 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12830 NULL pointers.
12831 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12832
12833 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12834 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12835
12836 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12837 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12838
12839 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12840 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12841
12842 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12843 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12844 [Ben Laurie]
12845
12846 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12847 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12848 [Steve Henson]
12849
12850 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12851 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12852
12853 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12854 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12855
12856 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12857 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12858
12859 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12860 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12861
12862 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12863 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12864 unused in the certificate verification process.
12865 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12866
12867 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12868 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12869 [Steve Henson]
12870
12871 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12872 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12873 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12874
12875 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12876 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12877 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12878 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12879 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12880
12881 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12882 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12883 [Steve Henson]
12884
12885 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12886 [Steve Henson]
12887
12888 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12889 [Paul Sutton]
12890
12891 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12892 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12893
12894 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12895 [Ben Laurie]
12896
12897 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12898 [Ben Laurie]
12899
12900 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12901 [Ben Laurie]
12902
12903 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12904 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12905 other error libraries.
12906 [Steve Henson]
12907
12908 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12909 [Steve Henson]
12910
12911 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12912 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12913 be read in.
12914 [Steve Henson]
12915
12916 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12917 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12918 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12919 the new set of documentation files.
12920 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12921
12922 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12923 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12924 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12925 number of arguments.
12926 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12927
12928 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12929 [Ben Laurie]
12930
12931 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12932 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12933 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12934
12935 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12936 [Ben Laurie]
12937
12938 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12939 nextstep
12940 ncr-scde
12941 unixware-2.0
12942 unixware-2.0-pentium
12943 sco5-cc.
12944 [Ben Laurie]
12945
12946 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12947 before they are needed.
12948 [Ben Laurie]
12949
12950 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12951 [Ben Laurie]
12952
12953
12954 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12955
12956 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12957 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12958 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12959
12960 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12961 [Paul Sutton]
12962
12963 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12964 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12965 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12966
12967 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12968 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12969 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12970
12971 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12972 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12973 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12974
12975 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12976 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12977
12978 *) Updated the README file.
12979 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12980
12981 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12982 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12983 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12984
12985 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12986 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12987 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12988
12989 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12990 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12991 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12992 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12993 o removed obsolete TODO file
12994 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12995 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12996
12997 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12998 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12999 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
13000 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
13001 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
13002 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13003 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13004
13005 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13006 [Mark J. Cox]
13007
13008 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13009 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13010 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13011 summer 1998.

13023 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
13024 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
13025 [Eric A. Young]
13026
13027 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13028 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13029 available).
13030 [Eric A. Young]
13031
13032 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13033 binary structures
13034 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]

13089 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13090 [Eric A. Young]
13091
13092 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13093 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13094 [Eric A. Young]
13095
13096 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
