10 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
13 [Paul Dale]
14
15 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
16 now been removed.
17 [Rich Salz]
18
19 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
20 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
21 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
22 debug (or make silent).
23 [Richard Levitte]
24
25 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
26 arguments to config / Configure.
27 [Richard Levitte]
28
29 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
30 [Paul Yang]
31
32 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
33 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
34 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
35 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
36
37 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
38 as documented in RFC6066.
39 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
40 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
41
42 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
43 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
44 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
45 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
46
47 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
48 original author does not agree with the license change.
49 [Rich Salz]
50
51 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
52 [Jon Spillett]
53
54 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
55 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
56 [Rich Salz]
57
58 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
59 without clearing the errors.
60 [Richard Levitte]
61
62 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
63 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
64 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
65 [Rich Salz]
66
67 *) Add SHA3.
68 [Andy Polyakov]
69
70 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
71 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
72 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
73 as a fallback).
74
75 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
76 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
77 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
78 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
79 [Richard Levitte]
80
81 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
82 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
83 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
84 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
85 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
86 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
87 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
88 [Richard Levitte]
89
90 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
91 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
92 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
93 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
94 [Richard Levitte]
95
96 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
97 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
98 error code calls like this:
99
100 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
101
102 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
103 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
104 affect new modules.
105 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
106
107 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
108 [Rich Salz]
109
110 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
111 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
112 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
113 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
114 [Richard Levitte]
115
116 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
117 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
118 than just the call where this user data is passed.
119 [Richard Levitte]
120
121 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
122 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
123 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
124
125 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
126 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
127 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
128 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
129 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
130 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
131 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
132 issues.
133 [Matt Caswell]
134
135 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
136 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
137 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
138 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
139 [Richard Levitte]
140
141 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
142 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
143 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
144
145 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
146 does for RSA, etc.
147 [Richard Levitte]
148
149 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
150 platform rather than 'mingw'.
151 [Richard Levitte]
152
153 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
154 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
155 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
156 certificates and CRLs.
157 [Paul Dale]
158
159 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
160 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
161 [Andy Polyakov]
162
163 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
164 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
165 [Richard Levitte]
166
167 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
168 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
169 which is the minimum version we support.
170 [Richard Levitte]
171
172 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
173 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
174 are no longer allowed.
175 [Emilia Käsper]
176
177 *) Add support for ARIA
178 [Paul Dale]
179
180 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
181 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
182 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
183 using "-servername".
184 [Matt Caswell]
185
186 *) Add support for SipHash
187 [Todd Short]
188
189 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
190 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
191 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
192 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
193 [Matt Caswell]
194
195 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
196 using the algorithm defined in
197 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
198 [Richard Levitte]
199
200 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
201 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
202
203 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
204 [Emilia Käsper]
205
206 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
207 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
208 [Rich Salz]
209
210 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [xx XXX xxxx]
211
212 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
213 exist.
214 [Rich Salz]
215
216 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
217
218 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
219 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
220 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
221 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
222 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
223 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
224 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
225 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
226 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
227 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
228
229 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
230 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
231
232 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
233 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
234 (CVE-2017-3738)
235 [Andy Polyakov]
236
237 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
238
239 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
240
241 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
242 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
243 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
244 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
245 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
246 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
247 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
248 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
249 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
250 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
251 key that is shared between multiple clients.
252
253 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
254 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
255
256 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
257 (CVE-2017-3736)
258 [Andy Polyakov]
259
260 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
261
262 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
263 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
264 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
265
266 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
267 (CVE-2017-3735)
268 [Rich Salz]
269
270 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
271
272 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
273 platform rather than 'mingw'.
274 [Richard Levitte]
275
276 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
277 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
278 which is the minimum version we support.
279 [Richard Levitte]
280
281 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
282
283 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
284
285 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
286 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
287 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
288 and servers are affected.
289
290 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
291 (CVE-2017-3733)
292 [Matt Caswell]
293
294 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
295
296 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
297
298 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
299 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
300 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
301
302 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
303 (CVE-2017-3731)
304 [Andy Polyakov]
305
306 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
307
308 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
309 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
310 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
311 of Service attack.
312
313 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
314 (CVE-2017-3730)
315 [Matt Caswell]
316
317 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
318
319 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
320 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
321 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
322 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
323 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
324 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
325 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
326 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
327 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
328 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
329 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
330 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
331 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
332
333 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
334 (CVE-2017-3732)
335 [Andy Polyakov]
336
337 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
338
339 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
340
341 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
342 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
343 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
344
345 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
346 (CVE-2016-7054)
347 [Richard Levitte]
348
349 *) CMS Null dereference
350
351 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
352 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
353 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
354 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
355 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
356 affected.
357
358 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
359 (CVE-2016-7053)
360 [Stephen Henson]
361
362 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
363
364 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
365 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
366 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
367 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
368 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
369 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
370 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
371 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
372 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
373 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
374 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
375 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
376 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
377 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
378
379 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
380 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
381 providing reproducible case.
382 (CVE-2016-7055)
383 [Andy Polyakov]
384
385 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
386 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
387 [Richard Levitte]
388
389 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
390
391 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
392
393 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
394 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
395 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
396 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
397 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
398 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
399
400 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
401
402 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
403 (CVE-2016-6309)
404 [Matt Caswell]
405
406 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
407
408 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
409
410 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
411 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
412 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
413 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
414 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
415 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
416 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
417
418 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
419 (CVE-2016-6304)
420 [Matt Caswell]
421
422 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
423
424 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
425 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
426 Denial Of Service attack.
427
428 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
429 (CVE-2016-6305)
430 [Matt Caswell]
431
432 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
433 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
434
435 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
436 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
437 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
438 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
439 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
440 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
441 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
442 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
443 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
444 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
445 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
446 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
447 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
448 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
449 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
450
451 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
452 that the connection fails
453 or
454 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
455 very little free memory
456 or
457 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
458 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
459 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
460 memory to service the multiple requests.
461
462 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
463 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
464 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
465 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
466 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
467
468 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
469 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
470 [Matt Caswell]
471
472 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
473 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
474 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
475 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
476 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
477 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
478 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
479 [Andy Polyakov]
480
481 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
482
483 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
484 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
485 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
486 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
487 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
488 non-ASCII password.
489 [Andy Polyakov]
490
491 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
492 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
493 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
494 [Rich Salz]
495
496 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
497 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
498 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
499 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
500 [Matt Caswell]
501
502 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
503 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
504 success.
505 [Matt Caswell]
506
507 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
508 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
509 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
510 no-ops and deprecated.
511 [Matt Caswell]
512
513 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
514 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
515 were also closed.
516 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
517
518 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
519 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
520 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
521 [Rich Salz]
522
523 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
524 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
525 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
526 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
527 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
528 and the validity of object reference counter.
529 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
530
531 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
532 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
533 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
534 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
535 [Richard Levitte]
536
537 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
538 [Richard Levitte]
539
540 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
541 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
542 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
543 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
544
545 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
546
547 [Richard Levitte]
548
549 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
550 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
551 [Steve Henson]
552
553 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
554 [Andy Polyakov]
555
556 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
557 [Rich Salz]
558
559 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
560 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
561 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
562 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
563 name and is used as is.
564 [Richard Levitte]
565
566 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
567 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
568 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
569 [Rich Salz]
570
571 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
572 the "no-shared" Configure option.
573 [Matt Caswell]
574
575 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
576 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
577 algorithms.
578 [Matt Caswell]
579
580 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
581 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
582 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
583 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
584 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
585 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
586 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
587 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
588 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
589 [Matt Caswell]
590
591 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
592 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
593 enabled with '--debug' builds.
594 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
595
596 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
597 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
598 these have been added.
599 [Matt Caswell]
600
601 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
602 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
603 functions for managing these have been added.
604 [Richard Levitte]
605
606 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
607 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
608 these have been added.
609 [Matt Caswell]
610
611 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
612 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
613 have been added.
614 [Matt Caswell]
615
616 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
617 [Matt Caswell]
618
619 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
620 [Richard Levitte]
621
622 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
623 it is always safe to #include a header now.
624 [Rich Salz]
625
626 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
627 [Richard Levitte]
628
629 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
630 [Rich Salz]
631
632 *) Add support for HKDF.
633 [Alessandro Ghedini]
634
635 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
636 [Bill Cox]
637
638 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
639 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
640 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
641 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
642 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
643 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
644 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
645 [Matt Caswell]
646
647 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
648 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
649 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
650 [Catriona Lucey]
651
652 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
653 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
654 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
655 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
656 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
657 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
658 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
659
660 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
661 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
662 [Todd Short]
663
664 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
665 [Todd Short]
666
667 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
668 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
669 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
670 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
671 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
672 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
673 default cipherlist.
674 [Emilia Käsper]
675
676 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
677 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
678 [Rich Salz]
679
680 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
681 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
682 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
683 [Matt Caswell]
684
685 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
686 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
687 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
688 implemented by other servers.
689 [Emilia Käsper]
690
691 *) Add X25519 support.
692 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
693 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
694 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
695 key generation and key derivation.
696
697 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
698 X25519(29).
699 [Steve Henson]
700
701 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
702 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
703 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
704 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
705 seed, even if the seed is configured.
706
707 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
708 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
709 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
710 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
711 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
712 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
713 that of a valid user.
714 [Emilia Käsper]
715
716 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
717 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
718 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
719 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
720
721 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
722 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
723
724 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
725 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
726 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
727 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
728
729 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
730 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
731 irrelevant.
732 [Richard Levitte]
733
734 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
735 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
736 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
737 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
738 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
739 of how OpenSSL was configured.
740
741 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
742 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
743 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
744 [Richard Levitte]
745
746 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
747 [Rich Salz]
748
749 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
750 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
751 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
752 removed.
753 [Richard Levitte]
754
755 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
756 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
757 old #define's might need to be updated.
758 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
759
760 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
761 [Rich Salz]
762
763 *) New "unified" build system
764
765 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
766 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
767
768 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
769 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
770 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
771
772 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
773 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
774 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
775 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
776 descrip.mms.tmpl.
777
778 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
779 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
780 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
781 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
782 libraries" in INSTALL.
783
784 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
785 [Richard Levitte]
786
787 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
788 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
789 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
790 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
791 [Matt Caswell]
792
793 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
794 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
795
796 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
797 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
798 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
799 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
800 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
801 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
802 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
803 have been adapted accordingly.
804 [Richard Levitte]
805
806 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
807 the leading 0-byte.
808 [Emilia Käsper]
809
810 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
811 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
812 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
813 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
814 [Emilia Käsper]
815
816 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
817 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
818 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
819 'unsigned char*'.
820 [Emilia Käsper]
821
822 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
823 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
824 [Emilia Käsper]
825
826 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
827 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
828 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
829 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
830 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
831 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
832 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
833
834 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
835 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
836
837 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
838 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
839 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
840 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
841 Text::Template.
842
843 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
844 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
845 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
846 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
847 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
848 %target).
849 [Richard Levitte]
850
851 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
852 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
853 straightforward and less interdependent.
854
855 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
856 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
857 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
858
859 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
860 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
861 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
862 installed.
863 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
864 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
865 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
866 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
867
868 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
869 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
870 [Richard Levitte]
871
872 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
873 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
874 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
875 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
876 is present).
877 [Matt Caswell]
878
879 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
880 configuring.
881 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
882
883 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
884 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
885 before trying to build now.*
886 [Rich Salz]
887
888 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
889 has changed.
890 [Rich Salz]
891
892 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
893
894 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
895 the application's responsibility. The application provides
896 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
897 used to authenticate the peer.
898
899 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
900 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
901 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
902 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
903 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
904 [Viktor Dukhovni]
905
906 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
907 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
908 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
909 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
910 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
911 or the 1.1.0 releases.
912
913 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
914 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
915 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
916 support for the deprecated features from the library and
917 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
918 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
919 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
920 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
921 version.
922
923 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
924 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
925 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
926 compile with later releases.
927
928 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
929 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
930 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
931 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
932 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
933 [Viktor Dukhovni]
934
935 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
936 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
937 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
938 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
939 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
940 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
941 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
942 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
943 [Kurt Roeckx]
944
945 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
946 [Andy Polyakov]
947
948 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
949 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
950 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
951 ECDSA_SIG format.
952
953 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
954 include the ec.h header file instead.
955 [Steve Henson]
956
957 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
958 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
959 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
960 [Kurt Roeckx]
961
962 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
963 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
964 were added:
965
966 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
967 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
968
969 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
970 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
971 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
972
973 Additional changes:
974 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
975 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
976 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
977 an already created structure.
978 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
979 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
980 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
981 for deprecated builds.
982 [Richard Levitte]
983
984 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
985 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
986 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
987 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
988 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
989 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
990 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
991 [Matt Caswell]
992
993 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
994 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
995 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
996 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
997 [Kurt Roeckx]
998
999 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1000 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1001 [Kurt Roeckx]
1002
1003 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1004 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1005 [Kurt Roeckx]
1006
1007 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1008 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1009 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1010 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1011 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1012 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1013 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1014 also been removed.
1015 [Matt Caswell]
1016
1017 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1018 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1019 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1020 [Rich Salz]
1021
1022 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1023 [Rich Salz]
1024
1025 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1026 sureware and ubsec.
1027 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1028
1029 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1030
1031 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1032 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1033
1034 FOO *x;
1035
1036 it must be:
1037
1038 FOO x;
1039
1040 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1041 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1042
1043 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1044 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1045 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1046 SEQUENCE OF.
1047 [Steve Henson]
1048
1049 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1050 [Emilia Käsper]
1051
1052 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1053 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1054 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1055 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1056 [Matt Caswell]
1057
1058 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1059 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1060 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1061 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1062 [Emilia Käsper]
1063
1064 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1065 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1066 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1067
1068 *) New testing framework
1069 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1070 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1071 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1072 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1073 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1074 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1075
1076 For documentation on our testing modules, do:

1079 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1080
1081 [Richard Levitte]
1082
1083 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1084 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1085 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1086 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1087 [Rich Salz]
1088
1089 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1090 return an error
1091 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1092
1093 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1094 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1095
1096 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1097 original RSA_PSK patch.
1098 [Steve Henson]
1099
1100 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1101 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1102 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1103 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1104 [Matt Caswell]
1105
1106 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1107 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1108 [Richard Levitte]
1109
1110 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1111 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1112 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1113 [Emilia Käsper]
1114
1115 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1116 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1117 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1118 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1119 transferred.
1120 [Matt Caswell]
1121
1122 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1123 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1124 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1125 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1126 [Matt Caswell]
1127
1128 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1129 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1130 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1131 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1132 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1133 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1134 [Matt Caswell]
1135
1136 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1137 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1138 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1139 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1140 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1141 header file has been removed.
1142 [Matt Caswell]
1143
1144 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1145 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1146 [Matt Caswell]
1147
1148 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1149 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1150 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1151
1152 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1153 Added a test.
1154 [Rich Salz]
1155
1156 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1157 [Rich Salz]
1158
1159 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1160 sha256
1161 [Rich Salz]
1162
1163 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1164 [Matt Caswell]
1165
1166 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1167 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1168 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1169 [Steve Henson]
1170
1171 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1172 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1173 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1174 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1175 [Matt Caswell]
1176
1177 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1178 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1179 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1180 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1181 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1182 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1183 [Matt Caswell]
1184
1185 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1186 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1187 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1188 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1189 [Matt Caswell]
1190
1191 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1192 compatible client hello.
1193 [Kurt Roeckx]
1194
1195 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1196 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1197 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1198
1199 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1200 [Rich Salz]
1201
1202 *) Removed old DES API.
1203 [Rich Salz]
1204
1205 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1206 Sony NEWS4
1207 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1208 NeXT
1209 SUNOS
1210 MPE/iX
1211 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1212 DGUX
1213 NCR
1214 Tandem
1215 Cray
1216 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1217 [Rich Salz]
1218
1219 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1220 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1221 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1222 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1223 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1224 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1225 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1226 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1227 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1228 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1229 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1230 [Rich Salz]
1231
1232 *) Cleaned up dead code
1233 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1234 [Rich Salz]
1235
1236 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1237 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1238 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1239 [Rich Salz]
1240
1241 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1242 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1243 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1244 [Rich Salz]
1245
1246 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1247 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1248 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1249
1250 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1251 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1252 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1253
1254 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1255 compilation flags.
1256 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1257
1258 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1259 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1260 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1261
1262 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1263 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1264
1265 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1266 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1267 server.
1268
1269 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1270 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1271 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1272 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1273
1274 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1275 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1276 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1277 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1278
1279 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1280 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1281 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1282
1283 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1284 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1285 [Steve Henson]
1286
1287 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1288
1289 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1290 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1291
1292 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1293 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1294
1295 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1296 effect.
1297
1298 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1299
1300 [Steve Henson]
1301
1302 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1303 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1304 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1305 algorithms and include tests cases.
1306 [Steve Henson]
1307
1308 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1309 enveloped data.
1310 [Steve Henson]
1311
1312 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1313 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1314 [Steve Henson]
1315
1316 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1317 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1318
1319 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1320 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1321 [Steve Henson]
1322
1323 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1324 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1325 failures.
1326 [Steve Henson]
1327
1328 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1329 sign or verify all in one operation.
1330 [Steve Henson]
1331
1332 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1333 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1334 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1335 [Steve Henson]
1336
1337 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1338 [Steve Henson]
1339
1340 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1341 [Steve Henson]
1342
1343 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1344 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1345 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1346 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1347 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1348 [Steve Henson]
1349
1350 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1351 based on NID.
1352 [Steve Henson]
1353
1354 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1355 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1356 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1357 [Steve Henson]
1358
1359 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1360 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1361
1362 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1363 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1364 [Steve Henson]
1365
1366 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1367 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1368 [Steve Henson]
1369
1370 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1371 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1372 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1373 [Steve Henson]
1374
1375 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1376 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1377 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1378 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1379 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1380 requested amount of entropy.
1381 [Steve Henson]
1382
1383 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1384 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1385 [Steve Henson]
1386
1387 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1388 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1389 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1390 support.
1391 [Steve Henson]
1392
1393 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1394 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1395 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1396 [Steve Henson]
1397
1398 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1399 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1400 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1401 will never use XTS mode.
1402 [Steve Henson]
1403
1404 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1405 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1406 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1407 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1408 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1409 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1410 [Steve Henson]
1411
1412 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1413 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1414 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1415 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1416 [Steve Henson]
1417
1418 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1419 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1420 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1421 [Steve Henson]
1422
1423 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1424 [Steve Henson]
1425
1426 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1427 [Steve Henson]
1428
1429 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1430 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1431 [Steve Henson]
1432
1433 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1434 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1435 [Steve Henson]
1436
1437 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1438 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1439 [Steve Henson]
1440
1441 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1442 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1443 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1444 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1445 and rename any affected symbols.
1446 [Steve Henson]
1447
1448 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1449 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1450 [Steve Henson]
1451
1452 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1453 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1454 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1455 [Steve Henson]
1456
1457 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1458 [Steve Henson]
1459
1460 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1461 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1462 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1463 [Steve Henson]
1464
1465 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1466 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1467 [Steve Henson]
1468
1469 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1470 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1471 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1472 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1473 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1474 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1475 set before the key.
1476 [Steve Henson]
1477
1478 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1479 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1480 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1481 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1482 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1483 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1484 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1485 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1486 [Steve Henson]
1487
1488 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1489 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1490 [Steve Henson]
1491
1492 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1493
1494 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1495 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1496
1497 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1498 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1499 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1500 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1501 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1502 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1503
1504 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1505 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1506 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1507 security.
1508 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1509
1510 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1511 parameters by name.
1512 [Steve Henson]
1513
1514 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1515 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1516 [Steve Henson]
1517
1518 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1519 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1520 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1521 [Steve Henson]
1522
1523 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1524 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1525 multi-process servers.
1526 [Steve Henson]
1527
1528 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1529 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1530 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1531 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1532 RAND_METHOD structure.
1533 [Steve Henson]
1534
1535 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1536 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1537 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1538 whose return value is often ignored.
1539 [Steve Henson]
1540
1541 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1542 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1543 validated when establishing a connection.

1547
1548 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1549
1550 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1551 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1552 AES-NI.
1553
1554 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1555 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1556 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1557 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1558 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1559 bytes.
1560
1561 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1562 (CVE-2016-2107)
1563 [Kurt Roeckx]
1564
1565 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1566
1567 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1568 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1569 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1570 corruption.
1571
1572 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1573 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1574 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1575 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1576 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1577 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1578
1579 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1580 (CVE-2016-2105)
1581 [Matt Caswell]
1582
1583 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1584
1585 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1586 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1587 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1588 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1589 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1590 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1591 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1592 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1593 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1594 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1595 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1596 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1597 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1598 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1599 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1600 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1601
1602 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1603 (CVE-2016-2106)
1604 [Matt Caswell]
1605
1606 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1607
1608 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1609 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1610 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1611
1612 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1613 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1614 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1615 applications are not affected.
1616
1617 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1618 (CVE-2016-2109)
1619 [Stephen Henson]
1620
1621 *) EBCDIC overread
1622
1623 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1624 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1625 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1626
1627 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1628 (CVE-2016-2176)

1633 [Todd Short]
1634
1635 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1636 default.
1637 [Kurt Roeckx]
1638
1639 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1640 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1641 [Kurt Roeckx]
1642
1643 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1644
1645 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1646 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1647 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1648 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1649
1650 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1651 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1652 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1653 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1654 will need to explicitly call either of:
1655
1656 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1657 or
1658 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1659
1660 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1661 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1662 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1663 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1664 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1665 (CVE-2016-0800)
1666 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1667
1668 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1669
1670 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1671 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1672 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1673 considered rare.
1674
1675 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1676 libFuzzer.
1677 (CVE-2016-0705)
1678 [Stephen Henson]
1679
1680 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1681
1682 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1683
1684 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1685 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1686 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1687 is configured.
1688
1689 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1690 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1691 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1692 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1693 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1694 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1695 that of a valid user.
1696 (CVE-2016-0798)
1697 [Emilia Käsper]
1698
1699 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1700
1701 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1702 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1703 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1704 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1705 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1706 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1707 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1708 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1709 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1710 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1711 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1712
1713 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1714 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1715 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1716 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1717 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1718
1719 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1720 (CVE-2016-0797)
1721 [Matt Caswell]
1722
1723 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1724
1725 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1726 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1727 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1728
1729 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1730 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1731 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1732 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1733 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1734 also occur.
1735
1736 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1737 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1738 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1739 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1740 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1741 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1742 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1743 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1744 as command line arguments.
1745
1746 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1747 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1748 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1749
1750 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
1751 (CVE-2016-0799)
1752 [Matt Caswell]
1753
1754 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1755
1756 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1757 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1758 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1759 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1760 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1761
1762 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1763 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and

1770 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
1771 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
1772 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
1773 [Emilia Käsper]
1774
1775 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1776 *) DH small subgroups
1777
1778 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1779 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1780 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1781 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1782 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1783 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1784 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1785 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1786 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1787 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1788
1789 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1790 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1791 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1792 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1793 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1794
1795 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1796 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1797 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1798 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1799
1800 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1801 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1802

1805 [Matt Caswell]
1806
1807 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1808
1809 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1810 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1811 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1812 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1821 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1822
1823 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1824 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1825 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1826 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1827 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1828 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1829 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1830 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1831 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1832 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1833 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1834 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1841
1842 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1843 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1844 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1845 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1846 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1847 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1848 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
1849 authentication.

1879 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1880
1881 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1882 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1883 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1884 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1885 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1886 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1902
1903 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1904 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1905 field.
1906
1907 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1908 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1909 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1910 client authentication enabled.

1918 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1919 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1920 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1921 time string.
1922
1923 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1924 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1925 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1926 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client

1986
1987 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1988 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1989 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1990 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1991 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1992 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1993 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1994 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.

2003 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2004 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2005 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2006 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2007 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2008 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2009 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2010 server.

2012 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2013 (CVE-2015-0207)
2014 [Matt Caswell]
2015
2016 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2017
2018 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2019 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2020 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2021 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2022 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2023 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2024 (CVE-2015-0286)
2025 [Stephen Henson]
2026
2027 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2028
2029 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2030 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2031 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2032 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2033 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2034 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2035 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2036
2037 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2038 (CVE-2015-0208)
2039 [Stephen Henson]
2040
2041 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2042
2043 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2044 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2045 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2046
2047 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2048 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2049 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2050 not affected.
2051 (CVE-2015-0287)
2052 [Stephen Henson]
2053
2054 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2055
2056 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2057 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2058 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2059
2060 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2061 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2062 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2063
2064 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2065 (CVE-2015-0289)
2066 [Emilia Käsper]
2067
2068 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2069
2070 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2071 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2072 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2073
2074 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2075 (OpenSSL development team).
2076 (CVE-2015-0293)
2077 [Emilia Käsper]
2078
2079 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2080
2081 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2082 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2083 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2084 (CVE-2015-1787)
2085 [Matt Caswell]
2086
2087 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2088
2089 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2090 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2091 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2092 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2093 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2094 SSL_client_methodv23)
2095 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2096 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2097
2098 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2099 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2100 output may be predictable.
2101
2102 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2103 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2104
2105 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2106 (CVE-2015-0285)
2107 [Matt Caswell]
2108
2109 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2110
2111 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2112 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2113 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2114 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2115 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2116 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2117
2118 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2119 commit 517073cd4b.
2120 (CVE-2015-0209)
2121 [Matt Caswell]
2122
2123 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2124
2125 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2126 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2127
2128 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2129 (CVE-2015-0288)
2130 [Stephen Henson]
2131
2132 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2133 [Kurt Roeckx]
2134
2135 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2136
2137 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2138 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2139 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2140 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2141 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2142 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2143 [Andy Polyakov]
2144
2145 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2146 (other platforms pending).
2147 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2148
2149 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2150 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2151 [Rob Stradling]
2152
2153 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2154 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2155 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2156 [Bodo Moeller]
2157
2158 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2159 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2160 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2161 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2162 [Andy Polyakov]
2163
2164 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2165 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2166
2167 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2168 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2169 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2170 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2171 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2172
2173 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2174 [Andy Polyakov]
2175
2176 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2177 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2178 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2179 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2180
2181 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2182 RSAZ.
2183 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2184
2185 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2186 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2187 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2188 for TLS encrypt.
2189
2190 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2191 [Andy Polyakov]
2192
2193 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2194 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2195 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2196 [Steve Henson]
2197
2198 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2199 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2200 [Steve Henson]
2201
2202 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2203 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2204 [Steve Henson]
2205
2206 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2207 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2208 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2209 algorithms and include tests cases.
2210 [Steve Henson]
2211
2212 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2213 structure.
2214 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2215
2216 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2217 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2218 [Steve Henson]
2219
2220 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2221 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2222 summary of the connection parameters.
2223 [Steve Henson]
2224
2225 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2226 of connection parameters.
2227 [Steve Henson]
2228
2229 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2230 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2231
2232 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2233 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2234 [Steve Henson]
2235
2236 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2237 [Steve Henson]
2238
2239 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2240 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2241 [Steve Henson]
2242
2243 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2244 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2245 [Steve Henson]
2246
2247 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2248 certificates.
2249 [Steve Henson]
2250
2251 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2252 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2253 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2254 [Steve Henson]
2255
2256 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2257 [Steve Henson]
2258
2259 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2260 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2261 [Steve Henson]
2262
2263 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2264 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2265 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2266 tracing.
2267 [Steve Henson]
2268
2269 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2270 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2271 [Steve Henson]
2272
2273 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2274 OID NID.
2275 [Steve Henson]
2276
2277 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2278 client to OpenSSL.
2279 [Steve Henson]
2280
2281 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2282 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2283 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2284 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2285 [Steve Henson]
2286
2287 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2288 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2289 [Steve Henson]
2290
2291 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2292 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2293 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2294 comparison.
2295 [Steve Henson]
2296
2297 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2298 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2299 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2300 use the certificate.
2301 [Steve Henson]
2302
2303 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2304 [Steve Henson]
2305
2306 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2307 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2308 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2309 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2310 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2311 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2312 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2313
2314 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2315 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2316
2317 [Steve Henson]
2318
2319 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2320 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2321 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2322 [Steve Henson]
2323
2324 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2325 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2326 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2327 supported signature algorithms.
2328 [Steve Henson]
2329
2330 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2331 [Steve Henson]
2332
2333 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2334 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2335 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2336 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2337 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2338 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2339 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2340 [Steve Henson]
2341
2342 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2343 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2344 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2345 to have similar checks in it.
2346
2347 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2348 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2349 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2350 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2351 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2352 [Steve Henson]
2353
2354 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2355 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2356 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2357 shared signature algorithms.
2358 [Steve Henson]
2359
2360 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2361 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2362 to support them.
2363 [Steve Henson]
2364
2365 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2366 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2367 it couldn't be removed.
2368 [Steve Henson]
2369
2370 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2371 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2372 [Steve Henson]
2373
2374 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2375 functions. Add manual page.
2376 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2377
2378 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2379 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2380 a certificate.
2381 [Steve Henson]
2382
2383 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2384 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2385
2386 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2387 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2388 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2389 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2390 utility) or reject.
2391 [Steve Henson]
2392
2393 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2394 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2395 [Steve Henson]
2396
2397 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2398 platform support for Linux and Android.
2399 [Andy Polyakov]
2400
2401 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2402 [Andy Polyakov]
2403
2404 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2405 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2406 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2407 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2408 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2409 [Steve Henson]
2410
2411 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2412 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2413 the new parameter format automatically.
2414 [Steve Henson]
2415
2416 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2417 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2418 [Steve Henson]
2419
2420 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2421 [Steve Henson]
2422
2423 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2424 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2425 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2426 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2427 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2428 [Steve Henson]
2429
2430 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2431 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2432 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2433 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2434 to set list of supported curves.
2435 [Steve Henson]
2436
2437 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2438 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2439 to print out received values.
2440 [Steve Henson]
2441
2442 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2443 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2444 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2445 [Steve Henson]
2446
2447 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2448 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2449 [Steve Henson]
2450
2451 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2452 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2453 [Steve Henson]
2454
2455 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2456 certificates.
2457 [Steve Henson]
2458
2459 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2460 the certificate.
2461 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2462 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2463 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2464
2465 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2466
2467 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2468 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2469
2470 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2471
2472 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2473 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2474 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2475 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2476 (CVE-2014-3571)
2477 [Steve Henson]
2478
2479 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2480 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2481 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2482 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2483 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2484 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2485 (CVE-2015-0206)
2486 [Matt Caswell]
2487
2488 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2489 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2490 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2491 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2492 (CVE-2014-3569)
2493 [Kurt Roeckx]
2494
2495 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2496 ECDH ciphersuites.
2497
2498 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2499 reporting this issue.
2500 (CVE-2014-3572)
2501 [Steve Henson]
2502
2503 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2504 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2505 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2506 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2507 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2508 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2509 (CVE-2015-0204)
2510 [Steve Henson]
2511
2512 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2513 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2514 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2515 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2516 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2517 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2518 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2519 this issue.
2520 (CVE-2015-0205)
2521 [Steve Henson]
2522
2523 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2524 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2525
2526 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2527 and can vary with the CTX.
2528 [Adam Langley]
2529
2530 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2531
2532 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2533 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2534 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2535 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2536 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2537
2538 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2539
2540 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2541 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2542
2543 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2544
2545 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2546 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2547 errors for some broken certificates.
2548
2549 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2550
2551 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2552
2553 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2554 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2555
2556 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2557 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2558 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2559 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2560
2561 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2562 of the OpenSSL core team.
2563
2564 (CVE-2014-8275)
2565 [Steve Henson]
2566
2567 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2568 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2569 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2570 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2571 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2572 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2573 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2574 the OpenSSL core team.
2575 (CVE-2014-3570)
2576 [Andy Polyakov]
2577
2578 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2579 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2580 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2581 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2582 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2583
2584 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2585 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2586 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2587 [Emilia Käsper]
2588
2589 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2590 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2591 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2592 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2593 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2594
2595 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2596 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2597 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2598 [Emilia Käsper]
2599
2600 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2601
2602 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2603
2604 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2605 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2606 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2607 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2608 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2609 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2610 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2611
2612 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2613 (CVE-2014-3513)
2614 [OpenSSL team]
2615
2616 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2617
2618 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2619 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2620 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2621 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2622 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2623 attack.
2624 (CVE-2014-3567)
2625 [Steve Henson]
2626
2627 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2628
2629 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2630 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2631 configured to send them.
2632 (CVE-2014-3568)
2633 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2634
2635 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2636 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2637 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2638 (CVE-2014-3566)
2639 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2640
2641 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2642
2643 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2644 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2645 DigestInfo structures.
2646
2647 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2648
2649 [Steve Henson]
2650
2651 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2652
2653 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2654 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2655 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2656
2657 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2658 Group for discovering this issue.
2659 (CVE-2014-3512)
2660 [Steve Henson]
2661
2662 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2663 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2664 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2665 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2666 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2667
2668 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2669 researching this issue.
2670 (CVE-2014-3511)
2671 [David Benjamin]
2672
2673 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2674 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2675 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2676 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2677
2678 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2679 issue.
2680 (CVE-2014-3510)
2681 [Emilia Käsper]
2682
2683 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2684 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2685 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2686 (CVE-2014-3507)
2687 [Adam Langley]
2688
2689 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2690 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2691 Denial of Service attack.
2692 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2693 (CVE-2014-3506)
2694 [Adam Langley]
2695
2696 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2697 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2698 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2699 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2700 this issue.
2701 (CVE-2014-3505)
2702 [Adam Langley]
2703
2704 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2705 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2706 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2707
2708 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2709 issue.
2710 (CVE-2014-3509)
2711 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2712
2713 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2714 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2715 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2716 Denial of Service attack.
2717
2718 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2719 discovering and researching this issue.
2720 (CVE-2014-5139)
2721 [Steve Henson]
2722
2723 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2724 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2725 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2726 output to the attacker.
2727
2728 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2729 (CVE-2014-3508)
2730 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2731
2732 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2733 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2734 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2735 [Bodo Moeller]
2736
2737 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2738
2739 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2740 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2741 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2742
2743 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2744 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2745 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2746
2747 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2748 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2749 in a DoS attack.
2750
2751 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2752 (CVE-2014-0221)
2753 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2754
2755 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2756 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2757 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2758 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2759
2760 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2761 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2762
2763 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2764 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2765
2766 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2767 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2768 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2769
2770 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2771 compilation flags.
2772 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2773
2774 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2775 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2776 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2777
2778 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2779 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2780
2781 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2782
2783 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2784 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2785 server.
2786
2787 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2788 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2789 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2790 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2791
2792 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2793 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2794 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2795 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2796
2797 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2798 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2799 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2800
2801 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2802
2803 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2804 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2805 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2806 is at least 512 bytes long.
2807
2808 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2809
2810 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2811
2812 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2813 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2814 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2815 (CVE-2013-4353)
2816
2817 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2818 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2819 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2820 [Steve Henson]
2821
2822 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2823 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2824 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2825 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2826 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2827 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2828 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2829
2830 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2831
2832 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2833 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2834 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2835
2836 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2837
2838 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2839
2840 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2841 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2842 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2843
2844 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information

2848 (CVE-2013-0169)
2849 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2850
2851 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2852 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2853 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2854 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2855 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2856 (CVE-2012-2686)
2857 [Adam Langley]
2858
2859 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2860 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2861 [Steve Henson]
2862
2863 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2864 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2865
2866 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2867 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2868 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2869 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2870 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2871
2872 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2873 [Steve Henson]
2874
2875 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2876 if renegotiating.
2877 [Steve Henson]
2878
2879 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2880
2881 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2882 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2883
2884 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2885 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2886 (CVE-2012-2333)
2887 [Steve Henson]
2888
2889 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2890 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2891 [Steve Henson]
2892
2893 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2894 approved.
2895 [Steve Henson]
2896
2897 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2898
2899 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2900 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2901 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2902 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
2903 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2904 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2905 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2906 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2907 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2908 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2909 [Steve Henson]
2910
2911 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2912 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2913 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2914 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2915 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2916 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2917 client side.
2918 [Andy Polyakov]
2919
2920 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2921
2922 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2923 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2924 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2925
2926 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2927 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2928 (CVE-2012-2110)
2929 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2930
2931 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2932 [Adam Langley]
2933
2934 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2935 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2936
2937 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2938 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2939 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2940 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2941 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2942 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2943 Most broken servers should now work.
2944 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2945 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2946 [Steve Henson]
2947
2948 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2949 [Andy Polyakov]
2950
2951 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2952
2953 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2954 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2955 [Steve Henson]
2956
2957 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2958 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2959 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2960 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2961 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2962 [Steve Henson]
2963
2964 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2965 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2966 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2967 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2968 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2969 [Steve Henson]
2970
2971 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2972 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2973
2974 *) Add support for SCTP.
2975 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2976
2977 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2978 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2979
2980 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2981
2982 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2983 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2984 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2985 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2986 - s390x: z196 support;
2987 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2988
2989 [Andy Polyakov]
2990
2991 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2992 (removal of unnecessary code)
2993 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2994
2995 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2996 [Eric Rescorla]
2997
2998 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2999 [Eric Rescorla]
3000
3001 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3002 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3003 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3004 by Google.
3005 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3006
3007 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3008 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3009 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3010 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3011 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3012
3013 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3014 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3015 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3016
3017 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3018 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3019 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3020
3021 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3022 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3023 implementations).
3024 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3025
3026 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3027 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3028 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3029 [Steve Henson]
3030
3031 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3032 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3033 particular PSS.
3034 [Steve Henson]
3035
3036 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3037 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3038 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3039 [Steve Henson]
3040
3041 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3042 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3043 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3044 the appropriate parameters.
3045 [Steve Henson]
3046
3047 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3048 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3049 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3050 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3051 against a number of sample certificates.
3052 [Steve Henson]
3053
3054 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3055 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3056
3057 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3058 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3059
3060 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3061 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3062 parameters r, s.
3063 [Steve Henson]
3064
3065 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3066 RFC3211.
3067 [Steve Henson]
3068
3069 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3070 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3071 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3072 password based CMS).
3073 [Steve Henson]
3074
3075 *) Session-handling fixes:
3076 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3077 but also support Session Tickets.
3078 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3079 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3080 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3081 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3082 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3083 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3084
3085 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3086 [Bodo Moeller]
3087
3088 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3089
3090 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3091 [Andy Polyakov]
3092
3093 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3094 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3095 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3096 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3097 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3098 [Steve Henson]
3099
3100 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3101 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3102 [Steve Henson]
3103
3104 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3105 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3106 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3107 [Steve Henson]
3108
3109 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3110 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3111 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3112 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3113 [Steve Henson]
3114
3115 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3116 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3117 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3118 [Steve Henson]
3119
3120 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3121 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3122
3123 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3124 [Steve Henson]
3125
3126 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3127 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3128 [Steve Henson]
3129
3130 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3131 [Steve Henson]
3132
3133 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3134 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3135 [Steve Henson]
3136
3137 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3138 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3139 [Steve Henson]
3140
3141 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3142 [Steve Henson]
3143
3144 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3145 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3146 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3147 [Steve Henson]
3148
3149 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3150 [Steve Henson]
3151
3152 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3153 [Steve Henson]
3154
3155 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3156 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3157 [Steve Henson]
3158
3159 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3160 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3161 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3162 [Steve Henson]
3163
3164 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3165 [Steve Henson]
3166
3167 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3168 and enable MD5.
3169 [Steve Henson]
3170
3171 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3172 FIPS modules versions.
3173 [Steve Henson]
3174
3175 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3176 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3177 until after the certificate request message is received.
3178 [Steve Henson]
3179
3180 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3181 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3182 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3183 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3184 [Steve Henson]
3185
3186 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3187 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3188 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3189 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3190 [Steve Henson]
3191
3192 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3193 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3194 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3195 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3196 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3197 and version checking.
3198 [Steve Henson]
3199
3200 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3201 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3202 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3203 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3204 [Steve Henson]
3205
3206 *) Add SRP support.
3207 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3208
3209 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3210 [Steve Henson]
3211
3212 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3213 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3214 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3215
3216 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3217 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3218 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3219 [Steve Henson]
3220
3221 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3222 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3223
3224 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3225 a few changes are required:
3226
3227 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3228 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3229 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3230 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3231 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3232 [Steve Henson]
3233
3234 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3235
3236 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3237 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3238 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3239 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3240 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3241 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3242 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3243 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3244 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3245 [Steve Henson]
3246
3247 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3248 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3249 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3250 [Steve Henson]
3251
3252 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3253
3254 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3255 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3256 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3257 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3258 [Antonio Martin]
3259
3260 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3261
3262 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3263 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3264 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3265 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3266 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3267 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3268 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3269 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3270 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3271 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3272 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3273 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3274 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3275
3276 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3277 (CVE-2011-4576)
3278 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3279
3280 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3281 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3282 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3283 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3284
3285 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3286 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3287
3288 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3289 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3290 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3291 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3292
3293 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3294 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3295
3296 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3297 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3298
3299 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3300 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3301
3302 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3303 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3304 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3305
3306 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3307 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3308 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3309
3310 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3311 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3312 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3313 the last update always remained unused).
3314 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3315
3316 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3317 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3318
3319 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3320
3321 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3322 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3323 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3324
3325 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3326 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3327 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3328
3329 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3330 [Bodo Moeller]
3331
3332 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3333 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3334 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3335 [Steve Henson]
3336
3337 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3338 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3339
3340 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3341
3342 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3343
3344 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3345
3346 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3347 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3348
3349 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3350 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3351 ambiguous.
3352 [Steve Henson]
3353
3354 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3355
3356 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3357 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3358 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3359 [Steve Henson]
3360
3361 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3362 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3363 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3364 [Ben Laurie]
3365
3366 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3367
3368 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3369 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3370 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3371 [Steve Henson]
3372
3373 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3374 a DLL.
3375 [Steve Henson]
3376
3377 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3378
3379 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3380 (CVE-2010-1633)
3381 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3382
3383 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3384
3385 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3386 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3387 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3388 [Steve Henson]
3389
3390 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3391 [Steve Henson]
3392
3393 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3394 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3395 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3396
3397 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3398 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3399 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3400 [Steve Henson]
3401
3402 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3403 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3404 [Steve Henson]
3405
3406 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3407 some responders need this.
3408 [Steve Henson]
3409
3410 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3411 correctly.
3412 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3413
3414 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3415 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3416 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3417 [Steve Henson]
3418
3419 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3420 [Steve Henson]
3421
3422 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3423 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3424 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3425 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3426 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3427 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3428 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3429 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3430 [Steve Henson]
3431
3432 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3433 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3434 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3435 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3436
3437 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3438 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3439
3440 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3441 be used on C++.
3442 [Steve Henson]
3443
3444 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3445 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3446 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3447 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3448 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3449 attempting to work them out.
3450 [Steve Henson]
3451
3452 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3453 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3454 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3455 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3456 [Steve Henson]
3457
3458 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3459 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3460 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3461 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3462 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3463 [Steve Henson]
3464
3465 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3466 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3467 you can do:
3468
3469 openssl sha256 foo
3470
3471 as well as:
3472
3473 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3474
3475 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3476
3477 [Steve Henson]
3478
3479 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3480 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3481
3482 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3483 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3484
3485 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3486 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3487 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3488 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3489 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3490 [Steve Henson]
3491
3492 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3493 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3494 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3495 [Steve Henson]
3496
3497 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3498 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3499 [Steve Henson]
3500
3501 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3502 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3503
3504 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3505 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3506 [Steve Henson]
3507
3508 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3509 [Ben Laurie]
3510
3511 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3512 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3513 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3514 CONF_VALUE.
3515 [Ben Laurie]
3516
3517 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3518 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3519 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3520 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3521 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3522 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3523 [Steve Henson]
3524
3525 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3526 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3527
3528 This work was sponsored by Google.
3529 [Steve Henson]
3530
3531 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3532 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3533 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3534 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3535 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3536 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3537 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3538 default.
3539
3540 This work was sponsored by Google.
3541 [Steve Henson]
3542
3543 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3544
3545 This work was sponsored by Google.
3546 [Steve Henson]
3547
3548 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3549 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3550 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3551 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3552
3553 This work was sponsored by Google.
3554 [Steve Henson]
3555
3556 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3557 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3558 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3559 CRL functionality in future.
3560
3561 This work was sponsored by Google.
3562 [Steve Henson]
3563
3564 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3565
3566 This work was sponsored by Google.
3567 [Steve Henson]
3568
3569 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3570 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3571
3572 This work was sponsored by Google.
3573 [Steve Henson]
3574
3575 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3576 and URI types are currently supported.
3577
3578 This work was sponsored by Google.
3579 [Steve Henson]
3580
3581 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3582 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3583 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3584 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3585 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3586 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3587 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3588 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3589
3590 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3591 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3592 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3593
3594 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3595 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3596 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3597 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3598
3599 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3600 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3601 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3602 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3603 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3604 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3605 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3606 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3607 of &errno.)
3608 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3609
3610 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3611 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3612 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3613
3614 This work was sponsored by Google.
3615 [Steve Henson]
3616
3617 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3618 [Ben Laurie]
3619
3620 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3621 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3622 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3623 [Ben Laurie]
3624
3625 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3626 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3627 [Nick Mathewson]
3628
3629 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3630 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3631 [Ben Laurie]
3632
3633 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3634 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3635 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3636 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3637 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3638 content types and variants.
3639 [Steve Henson]
3640
3641 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3642 [Steve Henson]
3643
3644 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3645 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3646 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3647 files from the associated perl scripts.
3648 [Steve Henson]
3649
3650 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3651 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3652 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3653
3654 *) s390x assembler pack.
3655 [Andy Polyakov]
3656
3657 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3658 "family."
3659 [Andy Polyakov]
3660
3661 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3662 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3663 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3664 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3665 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3666 to use. For example, specify an option
3667
3668 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3669
3670 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3671 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3672 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3673 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3674 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3675 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3676
3677 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3678 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3679 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3680 return non-zero for success.
3681
3682 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3683 by using
3684
3685 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3686 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3687
3688 where
3689
3690 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3691 void *arg;
3692
3693 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3694 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3695 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3696 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3697 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3698 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3699 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3700 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3701 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3702
3703 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3704 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3705 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3706 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3707 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3708 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3709
3710 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3711 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3712 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3713 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3714 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3715 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3716
3717 [Bodo Moeller]
3718
3719 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3720 MAC.
3721
3722 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3723
3724 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3725 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3726 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3727 supported.
3728
3729 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3730 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3731 SSL_SESSION.
3732
3733 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3734 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3735 with no application modification.
3736
3737 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3738 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3739
3740 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3741 or server extensions to be examined.
3742
3743 This work was sponsored by Google.
3744 [Steve Henson]
3745
3746 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3747 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3748 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3749
3750 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3751 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3752 ciphersuite support.
3753 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3754
3755 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3756 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3757 to output in BER and PEM format.
3758 [Steve Henson]
3759
3760 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3761 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3762 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3763 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3764 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3765 [Steve Henson]
3766
3767 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3768 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3769 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3770 utility.
3771 [Steve Henson]
3772
3773 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3774 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3775 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3776 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3777 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3778 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3779 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3780 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3781 enabled again.
3782
3783 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3784 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3785 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3786 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3787
3788 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3789 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
3790 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3791 the default order.
3792 [Bodo Moeller]
3793
3794 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3795 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3796 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3797 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3798 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3799 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3800 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3801 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3802 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3803
3804 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3805 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3806 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3807 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3808 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3809 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3810 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3811 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3812 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3813 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3814 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3815 kinds of kludges.
3816
3817 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3818 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3819 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3820
3821 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3822 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3823 "CAMELLIA256".
3824 [Bodo Moeller]
3825
3826 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3827 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3828 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3829 [Nils Larsch]
3830
3831 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3832 it yet and it is largely untested.
3833 [Steve Henson]
3834
3835 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3836 [Nils Larsch]
3837
3838 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3839 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3840 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3841 [Steve Henson]
3842
3843 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3844 [Andy Polyakov]
3845
3846 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3847 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3848 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3849 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3850 [Steve Henson]
3851
3852 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3853 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3854 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3855 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3856 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3857 [Steve Henson]
3858
3859 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3860 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3861 [Cryptocom]
3862
3863 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3864 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3865 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3866 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3867 [Steve Henson]
3868
3869 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3870 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3871 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3872 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3873 [Steve Henson]
3874
3875 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3876 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3877 [Steve Henson]
3878
3879 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3880 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3881 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3882 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3883 [Steve Henson]
3884
3885 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3886 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3887 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3888 [Steve Henson]
3889
3890 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3891 utility.
3892 [Steve Henson]
3893
3894 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3895 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3896 [Steve Henson]
3897
3898 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3899 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3900 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3901 if necessary.
3902 [Steve Henson]
3903
3904 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3905 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3906 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3907 [Steve Henson]
3908
3909 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3910 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3911 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3912 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3913 [Steve Henson]
3914
3915 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3916 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3917 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3918 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3919 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3920 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3921 [Douglas Stebila]
3922
3923 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3924 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3925 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3926 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3927 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3928
3929 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3930 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3931 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3932 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3933 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3934 protocol).
3935
3936 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3937 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3938 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3939 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3940
3941 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3942 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3943 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3944 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3945 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3946
3947 aECDH - ECDH cert
3948 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3949 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3950
3951 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3952 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3953
3954 [Bodo Moeller]
3955
3956 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3957 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3958 [Steve Henson]
3959
3960 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3961 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3962 [Steve Henson]
3963
3964 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3965 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3966 functional reference processing.
3967 [Steve Henson]
3968
3969 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
3970 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3971 process.
3972 [Steve Henson]
3973
3974 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3975 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3976 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3977 [Steve Henson]
3978
3979 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3980 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3981 application to support multiple signers.
3982 [Steve Henson]
3983
3984 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3985 digest MAC.
3986 [Steve Henson]
3987
3988 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3989 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3990 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3991 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3992 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3993 [Steve Henson]
3994
3995 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3996 new API.
3997 [Steve Henson]
3998
3999 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4000 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4001 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4002 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4003 a no op.
4004 [Steve Henson]
4005
4006 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4007 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4008 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4009 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4010 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4011 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4012 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4013 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4014 [Steve Henson]
4015
4016 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4017 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4018 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4019 between digests and public key types.
4020 [Steve Henson]
4021
4022 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4023 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4024 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4025 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4026 [Steve Henson]
4027
4028 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4029 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4030 key ASN1 method.
4031 [Steve Henson]
4032
4033 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4034 [Steve Henson]
4035
4036 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4037 pkeyutl.
4038 [Steve Henson]
4039
4040 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4041 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4042 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4043 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4044 pkey, genpkey.
4045 [Steve Henson]
4046
4047 *) BeOS support.
4048 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4049
4050 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4051 manual pages.
4052 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4053
4054 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4055 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4056 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4057 functionality for RSA.
4058 [Steve Henson]
4059
4060 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4061 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4062 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4063 [Steve Henson]
4064
4065 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4066 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4067 [Steve Henson]
4068
4069 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4070 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4071 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4072 [Steve Henson]
4073
4074 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4075 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4076 [Douglas Stebila]
4077
4078 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4079 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4080 [Steve Henson]
4081
4082 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4083 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4084 type.
4085 [Steve Henson]
4086
4087 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4088 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4089 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4090 structure.
4091 [Steve Henson]
4092
4093 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4094 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4095 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4096 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4097 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4098 of public and private key structures.
4099 [Steve Henson]
4100
4101 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4102 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4103 [Douglas Stebila]
4104
4105 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4106 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4107 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4108
4109 New ciphersuites:
4110 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4111 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4112
4113 New functions:
4114 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4115 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4116 SSL_get_psk_identity
4117 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4118
4119 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4120
4121 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4122 and response verification functionality.
4123 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4124
4125 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4126 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4127 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4128 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4129 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4130 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4131 server_name extension.
4132
4133 New functions (subject to change):
4134
4135 SSL_get_servername()
4136 SSL_get_servername_type()
4137 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4138
4139 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4140
4141 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4142 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4143 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4144 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4145 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4146
4147 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4148
4149 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4150 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4151 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4152 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4153 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4154 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4155 option.
4156
4157 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4158
4159 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4160 [Andy Polyakov]
4161
4162 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4163 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4164 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4165 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4166 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4167 [Andy Polyakov]
4168
4169 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4170 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4171 macro.
4172 [Bodo Moeller]
4173
4174 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4175 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4176 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4177 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4178 [Andy Polyakov]
4179
4180 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4181 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4182 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4183 using the maximum available value.
4184 [Steve Henson]
4185
4186 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4187 in addition to the text details.
4188 [Bodo Moeller]
4189
4190 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4191 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4192 handle several customised structures at all.
4193 [Steve Henson]
4194
4195 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4196 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4197 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4198 [Steve Henson]
4199
4200 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4201 [Steve Henson]
4202
4203 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4204 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4205 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4206 [Steve Henson]
4207
4208 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4209 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4210 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4211 [Nils Larsch]
4212
4213 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4214 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4215 all fields.
4216 [Steve Henson]
4217
4218 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4219 [Steve Henson]
4220
4221 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4222 [NTT]
4223
4224 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4225
4226 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4227 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4228 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4229 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4230 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4231 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4232 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4233 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4234
4235 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4236 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4237 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4238
4239 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4240
4241 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4242 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4243
4244 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4245 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4246 [Bodo Moeller]
4247
4248 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4249 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4250 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4251 [Steve Henson]
4252
4253 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4254 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4255 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4256 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4257 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4258 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4259 [Steve Henson]
4260
4261 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4262 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4263 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4264 [Steve Henson]
4265
4266 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4267 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4268 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4269 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4270 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4271 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4272 CVE-2009-4355.
4273 [Steve Henson]
4274
4275 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4276 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4277 [Bodo Moeller]
4278
4279 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4280 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4281 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4282 [Steve Henson]
4283
4284 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4285 [Steve Henson]
4286
4287 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4288 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4289 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4290 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4291 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4292 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4293 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4294 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4295 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4296 [Steve Henson]
4297
4298 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4299 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4300 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4301 [Steve Henson]
4302
4303 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4304 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4305 [Steve Henson]
4306
4307 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4308 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4309 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4310 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4311 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4312 know what you are doing.
4313 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4314
4315 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4316 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4317 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4318 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4319 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4320 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4321 the handshake.
4322 [Steve Henson]
4323
4324 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4325 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4326 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4327 correctly.
4328 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4329
4330 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4331 warnings in other configurations.
4332 [Steve Henson]
4333
4334 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4335 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4336 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4337 systems need.
4338 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4339
4340 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4341 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4342 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4343
4344 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4345 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4346 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4347 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4348 [Steve Henson]
4349
4350 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4351 and restored.
4352 [Steve Henson]
4353
4354 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4355 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4356 clash.
4357 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4358
4359 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4360 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4361 other than a simple chain.
4362 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4363
4364 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4365 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4366 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4367 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4368 [Steve Henson]
4369
4370 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4371 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4372 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4373 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4374 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
4375 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4376 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4377 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4378 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4379
4380 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4381 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4382 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4383 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4384 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4385 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4386 (CVE-2009-1377)
4387 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4388
4389 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4390 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4391 [Daniel Mentz]
4392
4393 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4394 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4395
4396 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4397 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4398
4399 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4400
4401 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4402 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4403 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4404 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4405 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4406 you're doing.
4407 [Ben Laurie]
4408
4409 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4410
4411 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4412 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4413 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4414 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4415
4416 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4417 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4418 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4419 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4420
4421 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4422 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4423 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4424 [Steve Henson]
4425
4426 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4427 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4428 level.
4429 [Steve Henson]
4430
4431 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4432 to handle some structures.
4433 [Steve Henson]
4434
4435 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4436 for a '\n'
4437 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4438
4439 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4440 [Matthieu Herrb]
4441
4442 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4443 [Steve Henson]
4444
4445 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4446 [Steve Henson]
4447
4448 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4449 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4450 chosen compiler.
4451 [Ben Laurie]
4452
4453 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4454
4455 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4456 (CVE-2008-5077).
4457 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4458
4459 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4460 [Ben Laurie]
4461
4462 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4463 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4464 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4465 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4466
4467 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4468 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4469
4470 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4471 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4472 [Bodo Moeller]
4473
4474 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4475 s_client and s_server.
4476 [Ben Laurie]
4477
4478 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4479 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4480
4481 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4482 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4483
4484 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4485 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4486 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4487 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4488 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4489 [Bodo Moeller]
4490
4491 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4492
4493 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4494 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4495 [PR #1679]
4496
4497 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4498 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4499 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4500
4501 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4502 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4503 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4504 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4505
4506 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4507 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4508
4509 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4510
4511 *) Various precautionary measures:
4512
4513 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4514
4515 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4516 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4517 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4518
4519 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4520 outside the expected range.
4521
4522 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4523 builds.
4524
4525 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4526
4527 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4528 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4529 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4530
4531 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4532 [Steve Henson]
4533
4534 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4535 [Huang Ying]
4536
4537 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4538
4539 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4540 [Steve Henson]
4541
4542 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4543 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4544 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4545
4546 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4547 [Steve Henson]
4548
4549 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4550 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4551 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4552 files.
4553 [Steve Henson]
4554
4555 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4556
4557 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4558 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
4559 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4560 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4561
4562 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4563 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4564 [Joe Orton]
4565
4566 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4567
4568 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4569 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4570 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4571
4572 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4573
4574 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4575 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4576 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4577 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4578 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4579
4580 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4581 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4582 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4583 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4584 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4585 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4586 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4587
4588 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4589
4590 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4591 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4592 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4593 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4594 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4595
4596 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4597 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4598
4599 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4600 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4601 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4602 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4603 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4604
4605 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4606
4607 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4608 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4609 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4610 sets may exist with different names.
4611 [Steve Henson]
4612
4613 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4614 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4615 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4616 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4617 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4618 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4619 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4620 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4621 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4622 implementation.
4623 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4624
4625 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4626 implementation in the following ways:
4627
4628 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4629 hard coded.
4630
4631 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4632 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4633 ignored for embedded content.
4634
4635 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4636 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4637 [Steve Henson]
4638
4639 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4640 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4641 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4642 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4643
4644 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4645 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4646 [Steve Henson]
4647
4648 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4649 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4650 [Steve Henson]
4651
4652 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4653 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4654 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4655 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4656 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4657 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4658 data.
4659 [Steve Henson]
4660
4661 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4662 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4663 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4664
4665 *) Netware support:
4666
4667 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4668 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4669 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4670 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4671 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4672 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4673 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4674 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4675 platform
4676 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4677 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4678 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4679 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4680 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4681 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4682 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4683
4684 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4685 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4686 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4687 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4688 to s_client and s_server.
4689 [Steve Henson]
4690
4691 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4692
4693 *) Fix various bugs:
4694 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4695 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4696 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4697 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4698 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4699
4700 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4701
4702 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4703 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4704 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4705 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4706 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4707 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4708 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4709 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4710 [Andy Polyakov]
4711
4712 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4713 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4714 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4715 Steve Henson]
4716
4717 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4718 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4719 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4720 supported.
4721
4722 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4723 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4724 SSL_SESSION.
4725
4726 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4727 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4728 with no application modification.
4729
4730 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4731 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4732
4733 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4734 or server extensions to be examined.
4735
4736 This work was sponsored by Google.
4737 [Steve Henson]
4738
4739 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4740 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4741 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4742 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4743 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4744 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4745 server_name extension.
4746
4747 New functions (subject to change):
4748
4749 SSL_get_servername()
4750 SSL_get_servername_type()
4751 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4752
4753 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4754
4755 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4756 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4757 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4758 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4759 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4760
4761 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4762
4763 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4764 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4765 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4766 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4767 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4768 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4769 option.
4770
4771 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4772
4773 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4774 [Steve Henson]
4775
4776 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4777 [Andy Polyakov]
4778
4779 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4780 (which previously caused an internal error).
4781 [Bodo Moeller]
4782
4783 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4784 [Ben Laurie]
4785
4786 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4787 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4788
4789 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4790 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4791 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4792
4793 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4794 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4795 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4796 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4797
4798 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4799 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4800 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4801 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4802
4803 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4804 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4805 information. For detailed background information, see
4806 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4807 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4808 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4809 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4810 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4811 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4812 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4813 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4814 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4815 remove a conditional branch.
4816
4817 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4818 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4819 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4820 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4821 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4822 remains as a deprecated alias.
4823
4824 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4825 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4826 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4827 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4828
4829 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4830 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4831 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4832 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4833 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4834 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4835 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4836 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4837
4838 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4839
4840 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4841 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4842 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4843 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4844 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4845 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4846 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4847 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4848 in a different context.
4849 [Bodo Moeller]
4850
4851 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4852 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4853 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4854 [Bodo Moeller]
4855
4856 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4857 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4858 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4859
4860 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4861
4862 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4863 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4864 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4865 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4866 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4867 [Victor Duchovni]
4868
4869 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4870 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4871 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4872 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4873 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4874 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4875 [Bodo Moeller]
4876
4877 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4878 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4879 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4880 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4881 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4882 [Bodo Moeller]
4883
4884 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4885 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4886
4887 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4888 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4889 Improve header file function name parsing.
4890 [Steve Henson]
4891
4892 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4893 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4894 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4895
4896 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4897
4898 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4899 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4900 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4901
4902 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4903 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4904
4905 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4906 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4907
4908 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4909 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4910 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4911
4912 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4913 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4914 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4915 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4916 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4917 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4918 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4919 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4920 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4921
4922 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4923 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4924 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4925 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4926 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4927
4928 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4929 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4930 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4931 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4932 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4933 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4934 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4935 multiple values to extend the available space.

4937 [Bodo Moeller]
4938
4939 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4940
4941 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4942 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4943
4944 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4945 [Ben Laurie]
4946
4947 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4948 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4949 undesirable limitations.
4950 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4951
4952 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4953 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4954 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4955 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4956 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4957 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4958 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4959 [Bodo Moeller]
4960
4961 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4962
4963 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4964 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4965 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4966
4967 The latter two were purportedly from
4968 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4969 appear there.
4970
4971 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4972 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4973 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4974 [Bodo Moeller]
4975
4976 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4977 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4978 [Bodo Moeller]
4979
4980 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4981 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4982 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4983 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4984
4985 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4986 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4987 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4988 [NTT]
4989
4990 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4991 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4992 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
4993 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4994 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4995 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4996 [Steve Henson]
4997
4998 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4999
5000 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5001 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5002 [Steve Henson]
5003
5004 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5005 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5006
5007 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5008 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5009 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5010 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5011 [Douglas Stebila]
5012
5013 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5014 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5015 [Steve Henson]
5016
5017 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5018 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5019 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5020 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5021 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5022 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5023 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5024 can't be loaded.
5025 [Steve Henson]
5026
5027 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5028 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5029 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5030 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5031 [Steve Henson]
5032
5033 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5034 under VC++ build system.
5035 [Steve Henson]
5036
5037 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5038 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5039 [Richard Levitte]
5040
5041 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5042
5043 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5044 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5045 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5046 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5047 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5048
5049 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5050 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5051 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5052
5053 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5054 [Steve Henson]
5055
5056 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5057 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5058 [Nils Larsch]
5059
5060 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5061 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5062
5063 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5064 [Nick Mathewson]
5065
5066 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5067 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5068
5069 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5070 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5071 [Steve Henson]
5072
5073 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5074 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5075 smime utility.
5076 [Steve Henson]
5077
5078 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5079
5080 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5081 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5082
5083 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5084 [Richard Levitte]
5085
5086 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5087 key into the same file any more.
5088 [Richard Levitte]
5089
5090 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5091 [Andy Polyakov]
5092
5093 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5094 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5095
5096 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5097 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5098 [Richard Levitte]
5099
5100 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5101 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5102 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5103 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5104 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5105 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5106
5107 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5108 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5109 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5110 [Steve Henson]
5111
5112 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5113 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5114 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5115 - add new function for parameter creation
5116 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5117 BN_BLINDING parameters
5118 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5119 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5120 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5121 threads.
5122 [Nils Larsch]
5123
5124 *) Add support for DTLS.
5125 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5126
5127 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5128 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5129 [Walter Goulet]
5130
5131 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5132 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5133 [Nils Larsch]
5134
5135 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5136 the apps/openssl applications.
5137 [Nils Larsch]
5138
5139 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5140 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5141 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5142 [Ben Laurie]
5143
5144 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5145 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5146
5147 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5148 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5149
5150 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5151 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5152 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5153 avoid this algorithm.)
5154
5155 [Bodo Moeller]
5156
5157 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5158 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5159 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5160 [Richard Levitte]
5161
5162 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5163 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5164 [Andy Polyakov]
5165
5166 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5167 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5168 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5169 pod file:
5170
5171 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5172
5173 The blank line is mandatory.
5174
5175 [Steve Henson]
5176
5177 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5178 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5179 sources.
5180 [Steve Henson]
5181
5182 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5183 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5184
5185 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5186 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5187 to support policy checking and print out.
5188 [Steve Henson]
5189
5190 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5191 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5192 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5193 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5194
5195 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5196 [Geoff Thorpe]
5197
5198 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5199 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5200
5201 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5202 implementation contributed by IBM.
5203 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5204
5205 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5206 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5207 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5208 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5209
5210 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5211 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5212
5213 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5214 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5215 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5216 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5217 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5218 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5219 [Steve Henson]
5220
5221 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5222 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5223 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5224 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5225 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5226 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5227 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5228 [Geoff Thorpe]
5229
5230 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5231 [Steve Henson]
5232
5233 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5234 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5235 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5236 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5237 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5238 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5239 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5240 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5241 [Steve Henson]
5242
5243 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5244 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5245 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5246 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5247 [Steve Henson]
5248
5249 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5250 syntax:
5251
5252 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5253 [Steve Henson]
5254
5255 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5256 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5257 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5258 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5259 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5260 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5261 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5262 [Geoff Thorpe]
5263
5264 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5265 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5266 [Geoff Thorpe]
5267
5268 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5269 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5270 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5271 [Steve Henson]
5272
5273 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5274 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5275 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5276 below).
5277 [Geoff Thorpe]
5278
5279 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5280 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5281 [Richard Levitte]
5282
5283 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5284 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5285 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5286 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5287 [Geoff Thorpe]
5288
5289 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5290 initialised value as BN_new().
5291 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5292
5293 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5294 [Steve Henson]
5295
5296 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5297 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5298 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5299 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5300 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5301 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5302 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5303 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5304 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5305 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5306 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5307 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5308 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5309 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5310 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5311
5312 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5313 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5314 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5315 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5316 [Geoff Thorpe]
5317
5318 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5319 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5320 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5321 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5322 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5323 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5324 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5325 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5326 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5327 [Geoff Thorpe]
5328
5329 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5330 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5331 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5332 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5333 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5334 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5335 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5336 [Geoff Thorpe]
5337
5338 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5339 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5340 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5341 these have been updated also.
5342 [Geoff Thorpe]
5343
5344 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5345 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5346 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5347 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5348 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5349 functions.
5350 [Steve Henson]
5351
5352 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5353 structure of type "other".
5354 [Steve Henson]
5355
5356 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5357 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5358 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5359 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5360 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5361 situation in the script.
5362 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5363
5364 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5365 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5366 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5367 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5368 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5369 used as premaster secret.
5370 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5371
5372 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5373 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5374 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5375
5376 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5377 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5378
5379 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5380 control of the error stack.
5381 [Richard Levitte]
5382
5383 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5384 [Richard Levitte]
5385
5386 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5387 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5388 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5389 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5390 [Richard Levitte]
5391
5392 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5393 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5394 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5395 [Richard Levitte]
5396
5397 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5398 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5399 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5400 a memory area.
5401 [Richard Levitte]
5402
5403 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5404 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5405 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5406 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5407 [Richard Levitte]
5408
5409 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5410 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5411 the following flags are defined:
5412
5413 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5414 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5415 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5416 number.
5417
5418 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5419 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5420 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5421 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5422 returns zero.
5423 [Richard Levitte]
5424
5425 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5426 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5427 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5428 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5429 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5430 [Richard Levitte]
5431
5432 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5433 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5434 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5435 [Richard Levitte]
5436
5437 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5438 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5439 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5440 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5441 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5442 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5443 [Richard Levitte]
5444
5445 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5446 req and dirName.
5447 [Steve Henson]
5448
5449 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5450 [Steve Henson]
5451
5452 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5453 [Steve Henson]
5454
5455 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5456 [Steve Henson]
5457
5458 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5459 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5460 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5461 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5462 default implementation more easily.
5463 [Geoff Thorpe]
5464
5465 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5466 in config files.
5467 [Steve Henson]
5468
5469 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5470 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5471 [Richard Levitte]
5472
5473 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5474 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5475 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5476 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5477
5478 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5479 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5480 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5481 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5482 [Steve Henson]
5483
5484 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5485 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5486 to do it.
5487 [Richard Levitte]
5488
5489 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5490 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5491 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5492 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5493 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5494 scalar * generator).
5495 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5496
5497 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5498 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5499 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5500 correctly.
5501 [Steve Henson]
5502
5503 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5504 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5505 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5506 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5507 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5508 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5509 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5510 linker additions, eg;
5511 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5512 [Geoff Thorpe]
5513
5514 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5515 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5516 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5517 [Geoff Thorpe]
5518
5519 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5520 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5521 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5522 via PR#459)
5523 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5524
5525 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5526 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5527 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5528 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5529 [Geoff Thorpe]
5530
5531 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5532 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5533 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5534 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5535 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5536 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5537 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5538 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5539 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5540 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5541
5542 Example for using the new callback interface:
5543
5544 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5545 void *my_arg = ...;
5546 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5547
5548 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5549
5550 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5551 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5552 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5553 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5554 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5555 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5556 */
5557
5558 [Geoff Thorpe]
5559
5560 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5561 available to TLS with the number defined in
5562 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5563 [Richard Levitte]
5564
5565 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5566 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5567
5568 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5569 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5570 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5571 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5572
5573 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5574 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5575
5576 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5577 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5578 well.
5579 [Richard Levitte]
5580
5581 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5582 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5583 [Richard Levitte]
5584
5585 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5586 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5587 and a macro that behave like
5588 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5589
5590 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5591 [Nils Larsch]
5592
5593 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5594 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5595 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5596 if applicable.
5597 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5598
5599 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5600 [Bodo Moeller]
5601
5602 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5603 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5604 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5605 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5606 directory engines/.
5607 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5608 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5609 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5610 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5611 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5612 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5613 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5614 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5615
5616 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5617 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5618 [Richard Levitte]
5619
5620 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5621 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5622
5623 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5624 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5625 files while avoiding the low level API.
5626
5627 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5628 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5629 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5630 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5631
5632 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5633 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5634 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5635 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5636 instead of the low level API.
5637 [Steve Henson]
5638
5639 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5640 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5641 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5642 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5643 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5644 PKCS#7 code.
5645
5646 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5647 down to the template encoder.
5648 [Steve Henson]
5649
5650 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5651 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5652 [Bodo Moeller]
5653
5654 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5655 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5656 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5657 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5658
5659 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5660 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5661
5662 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5663 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5664
5665 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5666 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5667 [Bodo Moeller]
5668
5669 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5670 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5671 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5672 [Bodo Moeller]
5673
5674 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5675 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5676
5677 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5678 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5679
5680 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5681 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5682 New EC_METHOD:
5683
5684 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5685
5686 New API functions:
5687
5688 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5689 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5690 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5691 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5692 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5693 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5694
5695 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5696 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5697 enable it).
5698
5699 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5700 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5701 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5702 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5703 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5704 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5705 various internal method names.)
5706
5707 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5708 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5709
5710 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5711 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5712
5713 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5714 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5715
5716 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5717 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5718 methods are undefined.
5719
5720 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5721 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5722
5723 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5724 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5725 length of the modulus.
5726
5727 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5728 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5729
5730 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5731 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5732
5733 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5734 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5735
5736 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5737 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5738 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5739
5740 BN_GF2m_add
5741 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5742 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5743 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5744 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5745 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5746 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5747 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5748 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5749 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5750
5751 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5752 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5753
5754 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5755 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5756 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5757 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5758 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5759 where
5760 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5761 This applies to the following functions:
5762
5763 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5764 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5765 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5766 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5767 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5768 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5769 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5770 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5771 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5772 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5773
5774 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5775
5776 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5777 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5778
5779 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5780
5781 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5782 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5783 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5784 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5785 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5786
5787 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5788 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5789
5790 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5791 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5792 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5793
5794 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5795 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5796
5797 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5798 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5799 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5800 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5801 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5802
5803 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5804 functions
5805 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5806 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5807 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5808 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5809 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5810 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5811 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5812 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5813 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5814 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5815 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5816 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5817
5818 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5819 functions
5820 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5821 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5822 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5823 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5824 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5825
5826 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5827 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5828 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5829 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5830
5831 *) Add functions
5832 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5833 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5834 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5835 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5836 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5837 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5838 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5839
5840 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5841 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5842 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5843 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5844 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5845 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5846 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5847 adding different types of curves.
5848 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5849
5850 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5851 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5852 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5853 [Bodo Moeller]
5854
5855 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5856 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5857
5858 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5859 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5860 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5861 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5862
5863 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5864
5865 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5866 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5867
5868 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5869 library. Most notably,
5870 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5871 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5872 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5873 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5874 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5875 extracted before the specific public key;
5876 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5877 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5878
5879 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5880 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5881 function
5882 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5883 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5884 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5885 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5886 accessed via
5887 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5888 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5889 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5890
5891 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5892 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5893 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5894 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5895 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5896 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5897 differing sizes.
5898 [Richard Levitte]
5899
5900 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5901
5902 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5903 sensitive data.
5904 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5905
5906 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5907 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5908 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5909 [Bodo Moeller]
5910
5911 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5912 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5913 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5914 [Victor Duchovni]
5915
5916 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5917 [Steve Henson]
5918
5919 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5920 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5921 [Steve Henson]
5922
5923 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5924 run algorithm test programs.
5925 [Steve Henson]
5926
5927 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5928 [Steve Henson]
5929
5930 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5931 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5932 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5933 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5934 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5935 [Bodo Moeller]
5936
5937 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5938 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5939 [Steve Henson]
5940
5941 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5942
5943 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5944 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5945 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5946
5947 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5948 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5949
5950 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5951 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5952
5953 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5954 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5955 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5956
5957 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5958 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5959 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5960 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5961 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5962 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5963 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5964 [Bodo Moeller]
5965
5966 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5967
5968 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5969 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5970
5971 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5972 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5973 undesirable limitations.
5974 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5975
5976 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5977
5978 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5979 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5980 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5981
5982 The latter two were purportedly from
5983 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5984 appear there.
5985
5986 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5987 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5988 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5989 [Bodo Moeller]
5990
5991 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5992 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5993 [Bodo Moeller]
5994
5995 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5996
5997 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5998 module in FIPS mode.
5999 [Steve Henson]
6000
6001 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6002 [Steve Henson]
6003
6004 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6005 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6006 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6007 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6008 [Steve Henson]
6009
6010 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6011
6012 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6013 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6014 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6015 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6016 the difference induced by this change.
6017 [Andy Polyakov]
6018
6019 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6020
6021 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6022 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6023 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6024 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6025 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6026
6027 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6028 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6029 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6030
6031 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6032 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6033 [Steve Henson]
6034
6035 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6036 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6037 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6038 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6039 biased k.)
6040 [Bodo Moeller]
6041
6042 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6043 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6044 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6045 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6046 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6047
6048 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6049 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6050 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6051 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6052 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6053 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6054
6055 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6056
6057 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6058 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6059 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6060 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6061 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6062 [Bodo Moeller]
6063
6064 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6065 clients need.
6066 [Steve Henson]
6067
6068 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6069 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6070 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6071 [Steve Henson]
6072
6073 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6074 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6075 structures constant.
6076 [Steve Henson]
6077
6078 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6079
6080 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6081 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6082
6083 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6084 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6085 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6086 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6087 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6088 some needed definitions.
6089 [Steve Henson]
6090
6091 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6092 [Ulf Möller]
6093
6094 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6095 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6096 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6097 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6098 [Richard Levitte]
6099
6100 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6101
6102 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6103 server and client random values. Previously
6104 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6105 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6106
6107 This change has negligible security impact because:
6108
6109 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6110 data.
6111
6112 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6113 handshake.
6114
6115 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6116 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6117 values.
6118
6119 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6120 to our attention.
6121
6122 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6123
6124 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6125 [Ulf Möller]
6126
6127 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6128 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6129 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6130
6131 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6132 [Steve Henson]
6133
6134 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6135 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6136 [Andy Polyakov]
6137
6138 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6139 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6140 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6141
6142 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6143 [Steve Henson]
6144
6145 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6146 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6147 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6148 certificates.
6149 [Steve Henson]
6150
6151 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6152 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6153 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6154 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6155
6156 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6157 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6158 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6159 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6160 been given)
6161 [Richard Levitte]
6162
6163 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6164
6165 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6166 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6167 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6168 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6169 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6170 [Steve Henson]
6171
6172 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6173 [Steve Henson]
6174
6175 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6176 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6177
6178 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6179 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6180 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6181 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6182 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6183 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6184 rather than being initialized to 1.
6185 [Steve Henson]
6186
6187 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6188
6189 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6190 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6191 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6192
6193 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6194 (CVE-2004-0112)
6195 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6196
6197 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6198 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6199 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6200 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6201 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6202 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6203 [Richard Levitte]
6204
6205 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6206 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6207 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6208 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6209 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6210 for these cases.
6211 [Steve Henson]
6212
6213 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6214 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6215 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6216 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6217 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6218 [Steve Henson]
6219
6220 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6221 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6222 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6223 < 0.9.7.
6224 [Steve Henson]
6225
6226 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6227 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6228
6229 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6230 [Steve Henson]
6231
6232 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6233
6234 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6235
6236 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6237 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6238
6239 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6240
6241 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6242 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6243
6244 [Steve Henson]
6245
6246 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6247 exiting on the first error in a request.
6248 [Steve Henson]
6249
6250 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6251 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6252 specifications.
6253 [Steve Henson]
6254
6255 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6256 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6257 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6258 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6259
6260 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6261 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6262 [Richard Levitte]
6263
6264 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6265 blocks during encryption.
6266 [Richard Levitte]
6267
6268 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6269 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6270 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6271 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6272 certain size.
6273 [Steve Henson]
6274
6275 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6276 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6277 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6278 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6279 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6280 parser.
6281 [Steve Henson]
6282
6283 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6284
6285 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6286 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6287 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6288 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6289 [Bodo Moeller]
6290
6291 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6292 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6293 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6294 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6295 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6296
6297 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6298 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6299 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6300 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6301 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6302 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6303 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6304 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6305 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6306 [Bodo Moeller]
6307
6308 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6309 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6310 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6311 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6312 [Geoff Thorpe]
6313
6314 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6315 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6316 [Ulf Moeller]
6317
6318 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6319
6320 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6321 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6322 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6323 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6324 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6325
6326 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6327 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6328 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6329
6330 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6331 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6332 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6333 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6334 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6335
6336 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6337 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6338 used by default when no-err is given.
6339 [Richard Levitte]
6340
6341 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6342 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6343
6344 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6345 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6346 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6347 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6348 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6349
6350 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6351 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6352 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6353 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6354
6355 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6356
6357 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6358
6359 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6360
6361 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6362 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6363 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6364 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6365 root is omitted).
6366 [Steve Henson]
6367
6368 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6369 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6370
6371 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6372 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6373 [Steve Henson]
6374
6375 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6376 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6377 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6378 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6379 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6380
6381 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6382 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6383 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6384 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6385 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6386 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6387 followup to PR #377.
6388 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6389
6390 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6391 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6392 [Andy Polyakov]
6393
6394 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6395 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6396 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6397 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6398
6399 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6400
6401 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6402 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6403
6404 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6405 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6406 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6407 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6408 client and server.
6409 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6410 PR #377.
6411 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6412
6413 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6414 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6415 removed entirely.
6416 [Richard Levitte]
6417
6418 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6419 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6420 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6421 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6422 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6423 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6424 of libcrypto.
6425 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6426 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6427 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6428 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6429 have to be made anyway).
6430 [Richard Levitte]
6431
6432 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6433 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6434 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6435 [Steve Henson]
6436
6437 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6438 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6439 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6440 [Richard Levitte]
6441
6442 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6443 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6444 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6445
6446 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6447 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6448 edit numbers of the version.
6449 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6450
6451 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6452 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6453 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6454
6455 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6456 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6457
6458 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6459 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6460 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6461
6462 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6463 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6464
6465 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6466 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6467
6468 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6469 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6470
6471 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6472 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6473
6474 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6475 overflows.
6476 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6477
6478 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6479 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6480 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6481
6482 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6483 representations in a platform independent manner.
6484 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6485
6486 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6487 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6488 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6489
6490 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6491 indents.
6492 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6493
6494 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6495 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6496
6497 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6498 full. Fixed.
6499 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6500
6501 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6502 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6503 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6504
6505 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6506 unconditionally).
6507 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6508
6509 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6510 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6511
6512 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6513 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6514
6515 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6516 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6517
6518 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6519 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6520
6521 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6522 CBCParameter.
6523 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6524
6525 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6526 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6527
6528 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6529 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6530
6531 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6532 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6533 exploitable.
6534 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6535
6536 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6537 the 0.9.6 release series:
6538
6539 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6540 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6541 (CVE-2002-0657)
6542 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6543
6544 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6545 [Richard Levitte]
6546
6547 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6548 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6549
6550 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6551 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6552
6553 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6554 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6555 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6556 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6557
6558 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6559 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6560 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6561
6562 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6563 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6564 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6565 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6566
6567 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6568 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6569 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6570 some local tweaks:
6571
6572 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6573 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6574 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6575 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6576 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6577 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6578 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6579 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6580 done
6581
6582 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6583 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6584 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6585 [Richard Levitte]
6586
6587 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6588 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6589 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6590 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6591 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6592
6593 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6594 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6595
6596 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6597 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6598 [Richard Levitte]
6599
6600 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6601 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6602 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6603 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6604 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6605 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6606 [Steve Henson]
6607
6608 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6609 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6610 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6611 [Steve Henson]
6612
6613 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6614 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6615 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6616
6617 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6618 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6619 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6620 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6621 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6622 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6623 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6624 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6625
6626 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6627 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6628 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6629 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6630 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6631 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
6632 [Steve Henson]
6633
6634 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6635 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6636 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6637 declaration has been changed from
6638 int (*cb)()
6639 into
6640 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6641 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6642 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6643 has been changed into
6644 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6645
6646 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6647 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6648 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6649
6650 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6651 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6652
6653 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6654 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6655 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6656 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6657 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6658 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6659 always load it have also been added.
6660 [Steve Henson]
6661
6662 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6663 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6664 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6665
6666 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6667
6668 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6669 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6670 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6671
6672 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6673 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6674 command line option can be used to specify an
6675 alternative file.
6676 [Steve Henson]
6677
6678 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6679 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6680 [Steve Henson]
6681
6682 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6683 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6684 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6685 [Steve Henson]
6686
6687 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6688 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6689 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6690 to work with the new engine framework.
6691 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6692
6693 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6694 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6695 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6696 to work with the new engine framework.
6697 [Richard Levitte]
6698
6699 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6700 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6701 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6702
6703 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6704 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6705
6706 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6707 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6708 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6709 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6710 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6711 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6712
6713 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6714 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6715
6716 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6717 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6718
6719 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6720 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6721 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6722 [Ben Laurie]
6723
6724 *) Add new functions
6725 ERR_peek_last_error
6726 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6727 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6728 These are similar to
6729 ERR_peek_error
6730 ERR_peek_error_line
6731 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6732 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6733 still in the error queue.
6734 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6735
6736 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6737 like:
6738 default_algorithms = ALL
6739 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6740 [Steve Henson]
6741
6742 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6743 [Steve Henson]
6744
6745 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6746 [Steve Henson]
6747
6748 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6749 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6750 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6751 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6752
6753 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6754 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6755
6756 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6757 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6758
6759 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6760 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6761 [Bodo Moeller]
6762
6763 *) New functions/macros
6764
6765 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6766 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6767 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6768 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6769
6770 to request calling a callback function
6771
6772 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6773 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6774
6775 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6776 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6777 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6778 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6779 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6780 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6781 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6782 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6783 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6784 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6785
6786 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6787 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6788 [Bodo Moeller]
6789
6790 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6791 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6792 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6793 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6794 the configuration scripts.
6795
6796 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6797 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6798 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6799
6800 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6801 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6802
6803 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6804 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6805 when reusing an existing buffer.
6806 [Bodo Moeller]
6807
6808 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6809 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6810 [Steve Henson]
6811
6812 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6813 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6814 [Ben Laurie]
6815
6816 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6817 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6818 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6819 has the same effect.
6820 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6821
6822 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6823 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6824 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6825 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6826 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6827 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6828 exception.
6829
6830 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6831 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6832 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6833 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6834
6835 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6836 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6837 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6838 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6839
6840 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6841 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6842 won't work.
6843
6844 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6845 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6846 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6847 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6848 default), and then completely removed.
6849 [Richard Levitte]
6850
6851 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6852 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6853 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6854 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6855 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6856 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6857 particular extension is supported.
6858 [Steve Henson]
6859
6860 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6861 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6862 [Steve Henson]
6863
6864 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6865 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6866 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6867 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6868 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6869 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6870 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6871 requires the destination to be valid.
6872
6873 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6874 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6875 [Steve Henson]
6876
6877 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6878 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6879 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6880 [Bodo Moeller]
6881
6882 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6883 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6884
6885 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6886 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6887 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6888 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6889 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6890 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6891 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6892 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6893 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6894 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6895 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6896 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6897 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6898 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6899 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6900 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6901 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6902 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6903 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6904 the new code.
6905 [Geoff Thorpe]
6906
6907 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6908 [Steve Henson]
6909
6910 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6911 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6912 become part of libeay.num as well.
6913 [Richard Levitte]
6914
6915 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6916 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6917 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6918 false once a handshake has been completed.
6919 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6920 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6921 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6922 client has followed the request.)
6923 [Bodo Moeller]
6924
6925 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6926 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6927 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6928 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6929
6930 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6931 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6932 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6933 [Bodo Moeller]
6934
6935 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6936 [Steve Henson]
6937
6938 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6939 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6940 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6941 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6942
6943 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6944 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6945 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6946
6947 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6948 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6949 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6950 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6951 [Geoff Thorpe]
6952
6953 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6954 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6955 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6956 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6957 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6958 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6959 [Geoff Thorpe]
6960
6961 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6962 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6963 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6964 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6965 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6966 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6967 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6968 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6969 [Geoff Thorpe]
6970
6971 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6972 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6973 [Geoff Thorpe]
6974
6975 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6976 [Ben Laurie]
6977
6978 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6979 md_data void pointer.
6980 [Ben Laurie]
6981
6982 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6983 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6984 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6985 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6986 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6987 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6988 [Ben Laurie]
6989
6990 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6991 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6992 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6993 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6994 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6995 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6996 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6997 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6998 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6999 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7000 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7001 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7002 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7003 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7004 rather than letting it slide.
7005
7006 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7007 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7008 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7009 [Geoff Thorpe]
7010
7011 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7012 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7013 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7014 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7015 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7016 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7017 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7018 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7019 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7020 [Geoff Thorpe]
7021
7022 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7023 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7024 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7025 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7026 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7027
7028 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7029 [Geoff Thorpe]
7030
7031 *) Add EVP test program.
7032 [Ben Laurie]
7033
7034 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7035 [Ben Laurie]
7036
7037 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7038 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7039 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7040 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7041 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7042 [Steve Henson]
7043
7044 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7045 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7046 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7047 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7048 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7049 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7050 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7051
7052 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7053 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7054 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7055 Usage example:
7056
7057 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7058
7059 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7060 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7061 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7062 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7063 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7064
7065 [Ben Laurie]
7066
7067 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7068 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7069 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7070 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7071 anyway): E.g.,
7072
7073 des_key_schedule ks;
7074
7075 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7076 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7077
7078 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7079 [Ben Laurie]
7080
7081 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7082 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7083 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7084 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7085 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7086 functions prevents this.
7087 [Steve Henson]
7088
7089 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7090 [Ben Laurie]
7091
7092 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7093 correct _ecb suffix.
7094 [Ben Laurie]
7095
7096 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7097 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7098 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7099 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7100 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7101 [Steve Henson]
7102
7103 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7104 [Richard Levitte]
7105
7106 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7107 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7108 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7109 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7110
7111 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7112 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7113
7114 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7115 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7116 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7117 via Richard Levitte]
7118
7119 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7120 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7121 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7122 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7123 [Geoff Thorpe]
7124
7125 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7126 Before:
7127 encrypt
7128 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7129 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
7130 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

7135 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
7136 After:

7138 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
7139 decrypt
7140 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
7141 [Ben Laurie]
7142
7143 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7144 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7145
7146 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7147 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7148 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7149 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7150 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7151 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7152 [Steve Henson]
7153
7154 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7155 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7156 [Richard Levitte]
7157
7158 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7159 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7160 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7161 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7162
7163 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7164 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7165 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7166 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7167 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7168 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7169 callback.
7170 [Richard Levitte]
7171
7172 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7173 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7174 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7175 and interrupts/cancellations.
7176 [Richard Levitte]
7177
7178 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7179 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7180 [Steve Henson]
7181
7182 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7183 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7184 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7185
7186 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7187 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7188 kind of callback.
7189 [Richard Levitte]
7190
7191 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7192 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7193 than this minimum value is recommended.
7194 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7195
7196 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7197 that are easily reachable.
7198 [Richard Levitte]
7199
7200 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7201 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7202
7203 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7204
7205 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7206 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7207 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7208 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7209 [Steve Henson]
7210
7211 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7212 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7213 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7214 [Steve Henson]
7215
7216 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7217 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7218 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7219 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7220 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7221 internally such as S/MIME.
7222
7223 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7224 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7225 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7226
7227 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7228 applications.
7229 [Steve Henson]
7230
7231 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7232 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7233 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7234 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7235
7236 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7237
7238 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7239
7240 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7241 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7242 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7243 handling.
7244 [Steve Henson]
7245
7246 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7247 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7248 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7249 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7250 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7251 a window system and the like.
7252 [Richard Levitte]
7253
7254 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7255 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7256 [Geoff]
7257
7258 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7259 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7260 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7261 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7262 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7263 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7264 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7265 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7266 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7267 ENGINE structure.
7268 [Geoff]
7269
7270 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7271 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7272 tag cache.
7273 [Steve Henson]
7274
7275 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7276 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7277 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7278 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7279 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7280 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7281 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7282 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7283 [Geoff]
7284
7285 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7286 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7287 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7288 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7289 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7290 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7291 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7292 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7293 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7294 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7295 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7296 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7297 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7298 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7299 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7300 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7301 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7302 [Geoff]
7303
7304 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7305 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7306 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7307 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7308 internal engine_int.h header.
7309 [Geoff]
7310
7311 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7312 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7313 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7314 modify their own ones).
7315 [Geoff]
7316
7317 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7318 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7319 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7320 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7321 later on via ctrl() commands.
7322 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7323 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7324 structural references.
7325 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7326 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7327 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7328 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7329 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7330 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7331 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7332 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7333 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7334 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7335 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7336 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7337 [Geoff]
7338
7339 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7340 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7341 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7342 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7343 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7344 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7345 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7346 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7347 [Bodo Moeller]
7348
7349 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7350 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7351 [Steve Henson]
7352
7353 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7354 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7355 [Steve Henson]
7356
7357 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7358 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7359 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7360 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7361 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7362 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7363 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7364 [Steve Henson]
7365
7366 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7367 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7368 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7369 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7370 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7371
7372 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7373 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7374 generator).
7375 [Bodo Moeller]
7376
7377 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7378
7379 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7380 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7381 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7382
7383 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7384 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7385
7386 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7387 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7388 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7389
7390 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7391 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7392
7393 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7394 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7395
7396 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7397
7398 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7399 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7400 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7401 [Bodo Moeller]
7402
7403 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7404 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7405 [Richard Levitte]
7406
7407 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7408 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7409 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7410 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7411 is 40 of more characters long.
7412 [Steve Henson]
7413
7414 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7415 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7416 pointers.
7417 [Steve Henson]
7418
7419 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7420 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7421 [Bodo Moeller]
7422
7423 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7424 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7425 might.
7426 [Steve Henson]
7427
7428 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7429
7430 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7431 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7432
7433 ASN1 error codes
7434 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7435 ...
7436 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7437 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7438 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7439 ...
7440 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7441 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7442
7443 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7444 [Bodo Moeller]
7445
7446 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7447 suffices.
7448 [Bodo Moeller]
7449
7450 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7451 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7452 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7453 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7454 and
7455 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7456
7457 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7458 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7459
7460 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7461 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7462 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7463 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7464 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7465 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7466
7467 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7468 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7469
7470 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7471 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7472
7473 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7474 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7475
7476 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7477 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7478 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7479 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7480
7481 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7482 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7483
7484 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7485 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7486
7487 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7488 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7489 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7490 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7491 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7492 [Richard Levitte]
7493
7494 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7495 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7496 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7497 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7498 [Steve Henson]
7499
7500 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7501 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7502 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7503 trust settings.
7504 [Steve Henson]
7505
7506 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7507 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7508 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7509 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7510 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7511 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7512 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7513 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7514 ocsp utility.
7515 [Steve Henson]
7516
7517 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7518 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7519 [Steve Henson]
7520
7521 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7522 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7523 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7524 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7525 [Steve Henson]
7526
7527 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7528 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7529 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7530 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7531 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7532 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7533 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7534 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7535 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7536 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7537 [Steve Henson]
7538
7539 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7540 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7541 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7542 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7543 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7544 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7545 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7546 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7547
7548 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7549 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7550 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7551 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7552 [Richard Levitte]
7553
7554 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7555 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7556 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7557 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7558 opensslconf.h.
7559 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7560 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7561 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7562 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7563 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7564 what is available.
7565 [Richard Levitte]
7566
7567 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7568 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7569 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7570 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7571 auto incremented.
7572 [Steve Henson]
7573
7574 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7575 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7576 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7577 [Steve Henson]
7578
7579 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7580 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7581 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7582 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7583 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7584 [Steve Henson]
7585
7586 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7587 [Steve Henson]
7588
7589 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7590 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7591 option to ocsp utility.
7592 [Steve Henson]
7593
7594 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7595 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7596 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7597 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7598 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7599 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7600 the request is nonce-less.
7601 [Steve Henson]
7602
7603 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7604 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7605 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7606 [Bodo Moeller]
7607
7608 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7609 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7610 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7611 [Steve Henson]
7612
7613 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7614 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7615 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7616 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7617 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7618 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7619
7620 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7621 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7622 appear to exist.
7623 [Steve Henson]
7624
7625 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7626 additional certificates supplied.
7627 [Steve Henson]
7628
7629 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7630 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7631 signature against.
7632 [Richard Levitte]
7633
7634 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7635 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7636 AES OIDs.
7637
7638 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7639 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7640 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7641 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7642 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7643 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7644 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7645 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7646 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7647
7648 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7649 request to response.
7650 [Steve Henson]
7651
7652 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7653 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7654 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7655 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7656 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7657 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7658 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7659 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7660 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7661 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7662 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7663 [Steve Henson]
7664
7665 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7666 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7667 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7668 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7669 [Steve Henson]
7670
7671 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7672 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7673
7674 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7675 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7676 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7677 [Steve Henson]
7678
7679 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7680 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7681 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7682 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7683 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7684
7685 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7686 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7687 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7688 [Steve Henson]
7689
7690 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7691 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7692 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7693 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7694 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7695 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7696 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7697 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7698
7699 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7700 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7701 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7702 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7703 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7704 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7705 [Steve Henson]
7706
7707 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7708 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7709 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7710 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7711 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7712 printout format cleaned up.
7713 [Steve Henson]
7714
7715 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7716 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7717 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7718 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7719 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7720 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7721 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7722 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7723 [Steve Henson]
7724
7725 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7726 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7727 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7728 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7729 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7730 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7731 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7732 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7733 [Steve Henson]
7734
7735 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7736 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7737 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7738 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7739 section to use.
7740 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7741
7742 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7743 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7744 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7745 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7746 [Steve Henson]
7747
7748 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7749 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7750 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7751 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7752 in the index file.
7753 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7754
7755 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7756 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7757 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7758 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7759
7760 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7761 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7762
7763 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7764 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7765 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7766 [Steve Henson]
7767
7768 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7769 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7770 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7771 [Bodo Moeller]
7772
7773 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7774 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7775 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7776 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7777 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7778 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7779 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7780 functions are provided:
7781
7782 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7783 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7784 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7785 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7786
7787 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7788 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7789 extended allocation function is enabled.
7790 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7791 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7792 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7793
7794 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7795 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7796 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7797 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7798 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7799 [Geoff Thorpe]
7800
7801 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7802 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7803 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7804 be queried.
7805 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7806 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7807 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7808 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7809
7810 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7811 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7812 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7813 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7814 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7815 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7816 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7817 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7818 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7819 [Richard Levitte]
7820
7821 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7822 provide utility functions which an application needing
7823 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7824 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7825 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7826
7827 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7828 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7829 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7830 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7831 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7832 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7833 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7834 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7835 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7836
7837 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7838 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7839 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7840 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7841 [Steve Henson]
7842
7843 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7844 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7845 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7846 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7847 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7848 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7849 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7850 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7851 will be added elsewhere.
7852 [Steve Henson]
7853
7854 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7855 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7856 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7857 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7858 [Steve Henson]
7859
7860 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7861 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7862 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7863 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7864 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7865 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7866 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7867 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7868 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7869 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7870 to produce the required SET OF.
7871 [Steve Henson]
7872
7873 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7874 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7875 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7876 [Richard Levitte]
7877
7878 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7879 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7880 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7881 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7882 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7883 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7884 [Steve Henson]
7885
7886 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7887 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7888 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7889 [Steve Henson]
7890
7891 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7892 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7893 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7894 [Richard Levitte]
7895
7896 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7897 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7898 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7899 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7900 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7901 [Steve Henson]
7902
7903 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7904 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7905 [Steve Henson]
7906
7907 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7908 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7909 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7910 certificates and CRLs.
7911 [Steve Henson]
7912
7913 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7914 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7915 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7916 [Steve Henson]
7917
7918 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7919 entries for variables.
7920 [Steve Henson]
7921
7922 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7923 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7924 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7925 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7926 [Bodo Moeller]
7927
7928 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7929 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7930 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7931 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7932 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7933 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7934 [Bodo Moeller]
7935
7936 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7937 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7938
7939 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7940 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7941 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7942 [Steve Henson]
7943
7944 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7945 print routines.
7946 [Steve Henson]
7947
7948 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7949 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7950 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7951 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7952 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7953 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7954 [Steve Henson]
7955
7956 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7957 [Steve Henson]
7958
7959 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7960 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7961 for now but they will eventually go away.
7962 [Steve Henson]
7963
7964 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7965 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7966 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7967 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7968 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7969 has also been converted to the new form.
7970 [Steve Henson]
7971
7972 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7973 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7974 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7975 for negative moduli.
7976 [Bodo Moeller]
7977
7978 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7979 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7980 [Bodo Moeller]
7981
7982 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7983 set.
7984 [Bodo Moeller]
7985
7986 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7987 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7988 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7989 type-specific callbacks.
7990 [Geoff Thorpe]
7991
7992 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7993 RFC 2712.
7994 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7995 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7996
7997 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7998 in sections depending on the subject.
7999 [Richard Levitte]
8000
8001 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8002 Windows.
8003 [Richard Levitte]
8004
8005 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8006 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8007 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8008 be handled deterministically).
8009 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8010
8011 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8012 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8013 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8014 [Bodo Moeller]
8015
8016 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8017 [Bodo Moeller]
8018
8019 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8020 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8021 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8022 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8023 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8024 [Bodo Moeller]
8025
8026 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8027 sign of the number in question.
8028
8029 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8030
8031 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8032 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8033 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8034 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8035 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8036 [Bodo Moeller]
8037
8038 *) New function BN_swap.
8039 [Bodo Moeller]
8040
8041 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8042 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8043 results on negative inputs.
8044 [Bodo Moeller]
8045
8046 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8047 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8048 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8049 [Bodo Moeller]
8050
8051 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8052 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8053 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8054 and add new functions:
8055
8056 BN_nnmod
8057 BN_mod_sqr
8058 BN_mod_add
8059 BN_mod_add_quick
8060 BN_mod_sub
8061 BN_mod_sub_quick
8062 BN_mod_lshift1
8063 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8064 BN_mod_lshift
8065 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8066
8067 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8068
8069 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8070 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8071
8072 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8073 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8074 be reduced modulo m.
8075 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8076
8077 #if 0
8078 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8079 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8080 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8081
8082 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8083 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8084 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8085 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8086 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8087 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8088 differing sizes.
8089 [Richard Levitte]
8090 #endif
8091
8092 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8093 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8094 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8095 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8096 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8097
8098 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8099 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8100 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8101 cause any problems.
8102 [Bodo Moeller]
8103
8104 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8105 [Richard Levitte]
8106
8107 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8108 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8109 [Richard Levitte]
8110
8111 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8112 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8113 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8114 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8115 time)
8116 [Richard Levitte]
8117
8118 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8119 [Richard Levitte]
8120
8121 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8122 [Richard Levitte]
8123
8124 *) Add the following functions:
8125
8126 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8127 ENGINE_load_chil()
8128 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8129 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8130 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8131
8132 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8133 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8134 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8135 libraries unless it's really needed.
8136
8137 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8138 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8139 declarations (they differed!).
8140 [Richard Levitte]
8141
8142 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8143 [Richard Levitte]
8144
8145 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8146 [Richard Levitte]
8147
8148 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8149 [Bodo Moeller]
8150
8151 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8152 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8153 [Richard Levitte]
8154
8155 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8156 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8157 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8158
8159 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8160 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8161 [Richard Levitte]
8162
8163 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8164 [Richard Levitte]
8165
8166 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8167 [Richard Levitte]
8168
8169 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8170 [Ben Laurie]
8171
8172 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8173 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8174 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8175
8176 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8177 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8178 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8179 different shared library filenames on each system.
8180 [Geoff Thorpe]
8181
8182 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8183 [Richard Levitte]
8184
8185 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8186 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8187 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8188 of two sections.
8189 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8190
8191 *) NCONF changes.
8192 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8193 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8194 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8195 binary backward compatibility.
8196 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8197 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8198 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8199 LDAP server.
8200 [Richard Levitte]
8201
8202 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8203 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8204 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8205 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8206 this case.
8207 [Steve Henson]
8208
8209 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8210 [Ben Laurie]
8211
8212 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8213 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8214 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8215 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8216 set.
8217 [Steve Henson]
8218
8219 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8220 [Richard Levitte]
8221
8222 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8223
8224 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8225 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8226 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8227
8228 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8229
8230 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8231
8232 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8233 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8234 [Steve Henson]
8235
8236 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8237
8238 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8239
8240 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8241 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8242
8243 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8244 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8245
8246 [Steve Henson]
8247
8248 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8249 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8250 specifications.
8251 [Steve Henson]
8252
8253 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8254 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8255 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8256 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8257
8258 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8259 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8260 [Richard Levitte]
8261
8262 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8263
8264 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8265 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8266 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8267 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8268 [Bodo Moeller]
8269
8270 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8271 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8272 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8273 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8274 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8275
8276 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8277 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8278 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8279 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8280 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8281 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8282 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8283 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8284 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8285 [Bodo Moeller]
8286
8287 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8288
8289 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8290 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
8291 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8292 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8293 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8294
8295 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8296 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8297 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8298
8299 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8300
8301 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8302 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8303 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8304 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8305 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8306 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8307 [Geoff Thorpe]
8308
8309 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8310 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8311 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8312 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8313 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8314 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8315
8316 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8317 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8318 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8319
8320 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8321 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8322 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8323 EVP_cleanup().
8324 [Richard Levitte]
8325
8326 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8327 being properly terminated.
8328 [Richard Levitte]
8329
8330 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8331 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8332 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8333 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8334
8335 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8336 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8337 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8338 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8339 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8340 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8341 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8342 change.
8343 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8344
8345 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8346 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8347 [Bodo Moeller]
8348
8349 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8350 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8351 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8352 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8353 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8354 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8355 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8356 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8357
8358 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8359 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8360 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8361 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8362 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8363
8364 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8365 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8366 [Steve Henson]
8367
8368 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8369
8370 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8371 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8372 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8373
8374 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8375
8376 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8377 and get fix the header length calculation.
8378 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8379 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8380 Steve Henson]
8381
8382 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8383 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8384 assertions could call abort()).
8385 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8386
8387 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8388
8389 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8390 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8391 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8392 supplied buffer.
8393 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8394
8395 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8396 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8397 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8398 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8399
8400 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8401 [Nils Larsch]
8402
8403 *) New option
8404 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8405 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8406 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8407
8408 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8409 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8410 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8411 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8412 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8413 applications.
8414 [Bodo Moeller]
8415
8416 *) Changes in security patch:
8417
8418 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8419 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8420 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8421 F30602-01-2-0537.
8422
8423 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8424 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8425 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8426 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8427 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8428
8429 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8430 happen in practice.
8431 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8432
8433 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8434 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8435 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8436
8437 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8438 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8439 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8440
8441 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8442 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8443 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8444
8445 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8446
8447 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8448 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8449 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8450
8451 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8452 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8453
8454 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8455 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8456 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8457 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8458 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8459 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8460 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8461
8462 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8463 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8464 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8465 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8466 [Bodo Moeller]
8467
8468 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8469 [Bodo Moeller]
8470
8471 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8472 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8473 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8474 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8475 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8476 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8477
8478 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8479 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8480 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8481 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8482 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8483 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8484
8485 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8486 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8487 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8488 BN_generate_prime().)
8489
8490 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8491 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8492 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8493 better.
8494 [Bodo Moeller]
8495
8496 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8497 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8498 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8499
8500 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8501 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8502 when using non-blocking I/O.
8503 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8504
8505 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8506 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8507
8508 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8509 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8510 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8511
8512 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8513 configuration for the versions before that.
8514 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8515
8516 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8517 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8518 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8519 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8520 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8521
8522 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8523 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8524 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8525 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8526
8527 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8528 value is 0.
8529 [Richard Levitte]
8530
8531 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8532 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8533 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8534
8535 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8536 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8537
8538 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8539 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8540 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8541 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8542 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8543 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8544 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8545 session cache.
8546
8547 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8548 using a local variable.
8549 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8550
8551 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8552 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8553 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8554
8555 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8556 [Richard Levitte]
8557
8558 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8559 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8560
8561 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8562 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8563 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8564
8565 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8566
8567 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8568 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8569 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8570 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8571 [Bodo Moeller]
8572
8573 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8574 present.
8575 [Steve Henson]
8576
8577 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8578 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8579 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8580 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8581 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8582
8583 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8584 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8585 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8586
8587 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8588 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8589 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8590
8591 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8592 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8593 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8594 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8595
8596 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8597 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8598 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8599 modules).
8600 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8601
8602 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8603 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8604 from 0.9.7.
8605 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8606
8607 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8608 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8609 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8610 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8611
8612 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8613 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8614 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8615 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8616
8617 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8618 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8619
8620 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8621 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8622 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8623 [Bodo Moeller]
8624
8625 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8626 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8627 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8628 become invalid.
8629 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8630
8631 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8632 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8633 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8634 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8635 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8636 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8637 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8638 [Bodo Moeller]
8639
8640 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8641 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8642 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8643 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8644
8645 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8646 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8647 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8648 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8649 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8650 the client will at least see that alert.
8651 [Bodo Moeller]
8652
8653 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8654 correctly.
8655 [Bodo Moeller]
8656
8657 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8658 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8659 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8660
8661 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8662 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8663 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8664 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8665 HelloRequest.
8666
8667 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8668 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8669 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8670
8671 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8672 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8673 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8674 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8675 may leak via logfiles.)
8676
8677 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8678 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8679 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8680 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8681 the legal range.
8682 [Bodo Moeller]
8683
8684 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8685 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8686 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8687
8688 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8689 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8690 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8691 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8692 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8693 [Bodo Moeller]
8694
8695 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8696 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8697
8698 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8699 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8700 followed by modular reduction.
8701 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8702
8703 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8704 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8705 [Bodo Moeller]
8706
8707 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8708 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8709 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8710 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8711 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8712
8713 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8714 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8715
8716 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8717 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8718 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8719
8720 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8721 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8722 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8723 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8724 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8725 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8726 automatically.
8727 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8728
8729 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8730 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8731 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8732 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8733 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8734
8735 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8736 [Andy Polyakov]
8737
8738 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8739 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8740 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8741 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8742 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8743 to allow the necessary settings.
8744 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8745
8746 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8747 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8748 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8749 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8750 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8751
8752 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8753 dh->length and always used
8754
8755 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8756
8757 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8758 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8759 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8760 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8761 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8762 dh->length.
8763
8764 So switch back to
8765
8766 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8767
8768 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8769 otherwise.
8770 [Bodo Moeller]
8771
8772 *) In
8773
8774 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8775 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8776 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8777 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8778
8779 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8780 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8781 always reject numbers >= n.
8782 [Bodo Moeller]
8783
8784 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8785 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8786 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8787 variable) is not atomic.
8788 [Bodo Moeller]
8789
8790 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8791 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8792 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8793 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8794
8795 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8796 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8797
8798 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8799 little-endian MIPS.
8800 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8801
8802 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8803 [Richard Levitte]
8804
8805 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8806
8807 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8808 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8809 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8810 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8811 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8812 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8813 to traverse all of 'state'.
8814
8815 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8816 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8817 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8818
8819 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8820 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8821
8822 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8823 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8824 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8825 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8826 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8827 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8828 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8829 further strengthens the PRNG.
8830 [Bodo Moeller]
8831
8832 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8833 [Andy Polyakov]
8834
8835 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8836 an error message in this case.
8837 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8838
8839 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8840 [Steve Henson]
8841
8842 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8843 positive and less than q.
8844 [Bodo Moeller]
8845
8846 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8847 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8848 that itself.
8849 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8850
8851 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8852 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8853 [Bodo Moeller]
8854
8855 *) Fix OAEP check.
8856 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8857
8858 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8859 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8860 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8861 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8862 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8863 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8864 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8865 paper.)
8866
8867 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8868 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8869 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8870 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8871
8872 Both problems are now fixed.
8873 [Bodo Moeller]
8874
8875 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8876 (previously it was 1024).
8877 [Bodo Moeller]
8878
8879 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8880 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8881 [Steve Henson]
8882
8883 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8884 [Steve Henson]
8885
8886 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8887 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8888 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8889 [Steve Henson]
8890
8891 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8892 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8893 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8894 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8895 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8896 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8897 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8898 environment variables.
8899
8900 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8901 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8902 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8903 [Bodo Moeller]
8904
8905 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8906 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8907 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8908 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8909 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8910 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8911 [Bodo Moeller]
8912
8913 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8914 versions of 'test'.
8915 [Bodo Moeller]
8916
8917 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8918
8919 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8920 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8921
8922 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8923 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8924 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8925 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8926 CygWin.
8927 [Richard Levitte]
8928
8929 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8930 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8931 amount of data available.
8932 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8933 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8934
8935 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8936 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8937 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8938 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8939 [Bodo Moeller]
8940
8941 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8942 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8943 and UnixWare.
8944 [Richard Levitte]
8945
8946 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8947 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8948 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8949 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8950 [Ulf Moeller]
8951
8952 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8953 [Andy Polyakov]
8954
8955 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8956 [Richard Levitte]
8957
8958 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8959 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8960 [Steve Henson]
8961 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8962
8963 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8964 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8965 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8966 (but broken) behaviour.
8967 [Steve Henson]
8968
8969 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8970 it when found.
8971 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8972
8973 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8974 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8975 [Bodo Moeller]
8976
8977 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8978 did not exist.
8979 [Bodo Moeller]
8980
8981 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8982 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8983
8984 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8985 [Richard Levitte]
8986
8987 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8988 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8989 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8990
8991 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8992 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8993 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8994 [Steve Henson]
8995
8996 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8997 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8998 [Ulf Moeller]
8999
9000 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9001 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9002
9003 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9004
9005 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9006
9007 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9008 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9009 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9010 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9011 [Bodo Moeller]
9012
9013 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9014 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9015
9016 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9017 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9018 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9019
9020 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9021 was empty.
9022 [Steve Henson]
9023 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9024
9025 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9026 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9027 but the code is actually correct.
9028 [Steve Henson]
9029
9030 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9031 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9032 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9033 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9034 and leaves the highest bit random.
9035 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9036
9037 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9038 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9039 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9040 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9041 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9042 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9043 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9044 [Bodo Moeller]
9045
9046 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9047 [Ulf Moeller]
9048
9049 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9050 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9051 [Steve Henson]
9052
9053 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9054 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9055 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9056 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9057 headers.
9058 [Richard Levitte]
9059
9060 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9061 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9062 and break the signature.
9063 [Steve Henson]
9064 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9065
9066 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9067 DH ciphersuites.
9068 [Steve Henson]
9069
9070 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9071 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9072 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9073 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9074 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9075 [Bodo Moeller]
9076
9077 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9078 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9079
9080 *) ./config script fixes.
9081 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9082
9083 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9084 [Bodo Moeller]
9085
9086 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9087 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9088 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9089 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9090 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9091
9092 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9093 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9094 [Bodo Moeller]
9095
9096 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9097 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9098 [Steve Henson]
9099
9100 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9101 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9102 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9103 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9104
9105 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9106 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9107
9108 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9109 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9110 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9111 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9112 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9113
9114 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9115 [Bodo Moeller]
9116
9117 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9118 [Ulf Möller]
9119
9120 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9121 [Ulf Möller]
9122
9123 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9124 [Bodo Moeller]
9125
9126 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9127 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9128 [Bodo Moeller]
9129
9130 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9131 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9132 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9133 result of the server certificate verification.)
9134 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9135
9136 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9137 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9138 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9139 [Bodo Moeller]
9140
9141 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9142 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9143 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9144 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9145 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9146 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9147 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9148 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9149 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9150 [Bodo Moeller]
9151
9152 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9153 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9154 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9155 happening the other way round.
9156 [Geoff Thorpe]
9157
9158 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9159 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9160 [Bodo Moeller]
9161
9162 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9163 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9164 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9165 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9166 [Richard Levitte]
9167
9168 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9169 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9170
9171 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9172
9173 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9174 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9175 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9176 that.
9177
9178 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9179
9180 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9181
9182 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9183 static ones.
9184 [Richard Levitte]
9185
9186 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9187
9188 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9189 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9190 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9191 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9192 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9193
9194 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9195 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9196 matter what.
9197 [Richard Levitte]
9198
9199 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9200 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9201
9202 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9203
9204 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9205 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9206 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9207 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9208 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9209 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9210 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9211 by the Finished messages.
9212 [Bodo Moeller]
9213
9214 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9215 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9216
9217 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9218 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9219 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9220 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9221 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9222 appropriately.
9223 [Steve Henson]
9224
9225 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9226 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9227 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9228 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9229 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9230 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9231 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9232 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9233 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9234 together.
9235 [Steve Henson]
9236
9237 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9238 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9239 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9240 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9241
9242 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9243 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9244 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9245 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9246 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9247 the answer.
9248
9249 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9250 been tested well enough.
9251 [Richard Levitte]
9252
9253 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9254 it can return incorrect results.
9255 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9256 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9257 [Bodo Moeller]
9258
9259 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9260 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9261 include zero length content when signing messages.
9262 [Steve Henson]
9263
9264 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9265 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9266 [Bodo Möller]
9267
9268 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9269 [Richard Levitte]
9270
9271 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9272 wrong sign.
9273 [Ulf Möller]
9274
9275 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9276 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9277 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9278 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9279 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9280 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9281 [Richard Levitte]
9282
9283 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9284 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9285
9286 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9287 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9288
9289 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9290 random number < q in the DSA library.
9291 [Ulf Möller]
9292
9293 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9294 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9295 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9296 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9297 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9298 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9299 just makes things more complicated.)
9300 [Bodo Moeller]
9301
9302 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9303 from EGD.
9304 [Ben Laurie]
9305
9306 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9307 work better on such systems.
9308 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9309
9310 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9311 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9312 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9313 [Steve Henson]
9314
9315 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9316 if there was more than one signature.
9317 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9318
9319 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9320 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9321 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9322 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9323 [Richard Levitte]
9324
9325 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9326 rather than always using the current time.
9327 [Steve Henson]
9328
9329 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9330 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9331 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9332 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9333 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9334 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9335
9336 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9337 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9338
9339 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9340
9341 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9342 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9343 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9344 the same hash value.
9345
9346 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9347 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9348 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9349 with X509_STORE internally.
9350
9351 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9352 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9353
9354 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9355 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9356 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9357 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9358 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9359 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9360 entirely (maybe later...).
9361
9362 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9363
9364 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9365 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9366 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9367 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9368 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9369 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9370 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9371 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9372
9373 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9374 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9375
9376 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9377 to customise the verify behaviour.
9378 [Steve Henson]
9379
9380 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9381 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9382 [Steve Henson]
9383
9384 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9385 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9386 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9387 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9388 request is improperly encoded.
9389 [Steve Henson]
9390
9391 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9392 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9393 BIO_write(b, ...).
9394
9395 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9396 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9397
9398 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9399 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9400 words set to zero.)
9401 [Bodo Moeller]
9402
9403 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9404 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9405 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9406 [Bodo Moeller]
9407
9408 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9409 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9410 BIO/fp routines also added.
9411 [Steve Henson]
9412
9413 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9414 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9415
9416 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9417 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9418 demos/state_machine.
9419 [Ben Laurie]
9420
9421 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9422 generation and verification.
9423 [Steve Henson]
9424
9425 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9426 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9427 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9428 encode and decode it manually.
9429 [Steve Henson]
9430
9431 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9432 compile under VC++.
9433 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9434
9435 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9436 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9437 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9438 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9439
9440 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9441 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9442 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9443 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9444 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9445 [Steve Henson]
9446
9447 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9448 [Richard Levitte]
9449
9450 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
9451 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9452 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9453
9454 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9455 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9456 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9457 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9458 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9459 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9460 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9461 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9462
9463 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9464 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9465
9466 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9467
9468 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9469 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9470 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9471
9472 [Richard Levitte]
9473
9474 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9475 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9476 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9477 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9478 [Richard Levitte]
9479
9480 *) MD4 implemented.
9481 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9482
9483 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9484 [Richard Levitte]
9485
9486 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9487 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9488 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9489 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9490 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9491 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9492 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9493 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9494 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9495 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9496 short or long names are found.
9497 [Steve Henson]
9498
9499 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9500 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9501
9502 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9503 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9504 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9505 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9506
9507 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9508 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9509 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9510 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9511 [Bodo Moeller]
9512
9513 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9514 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9515 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9516 [Richard Levitte]
9517
9518 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9519 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9520 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9521 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9522 to allow the various flags to be set.
9523 [Steve Henson]
9524
9525 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9526 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9527 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9528 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9529 dates to be checked.
9530 [Steve Henson]
9531
9532 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9533 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9534 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9535 [Steve Henson]
9536
9537 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9538 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9539 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9540 [Steve Henson]
9541
9542 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9543 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9544 [Bodo Moeller]
9545
9546 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9547 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9548 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9549 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9550 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9551 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9552 [Richard Levitte]
9553
9554 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9555 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9556 Random Numbers.
9557 [Ulf Möller]
9558
9559 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9560 DSA key.
9561 [Steve Henson]
9562
9563 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9564 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9565 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9566 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9567 form signing output easier to verify.
9568 [Steve Henson]
9569
9570 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9571 [Steve Henson]
9572
9573 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9574 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9575 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9576 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9577 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9578 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9579 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9580 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9581 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9582 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9583 [Steve Henson]
9584
9585 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9586
9587 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9588 the syntax given in objects.README.
9589 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9590 obj_mac.h.
9591 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9592 obj_mac.h.
9593
9594 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9595 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9596 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9597 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9598 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9599 consistent name changes.
9600 [Richard Levitte]
9601
9602 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9603 [Bodo Moeller]
9604
9605 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9606 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9607 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9608 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9609 [Richard Levitte]
9610
9611 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9612 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9613 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9614 of safestack.h .
9615 [Steve Henson]
9616
9617 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9618 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9619 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9620 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9621 [Steve Henson]
9622
9623 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9624 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9625 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9626 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9627 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9628 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9629 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9630 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9631 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9632 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9633 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9634 [Steve Henson]
9635
9636 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9637 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9638 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9639 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9640 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9641 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9642 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9643 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9644 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9645 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9646 [Steve Henson]
9647
9648 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9649 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9650 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9651 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9652
9653 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9654 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9655 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9656 omit any duplicate addresses.
9657 [Steve Henson]
9658
9659 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9660 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9661 [Bodo Moeller]
9662
9663 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9664 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9665 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9666 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9667 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9668 [Bodo Moeller]
9669
9670 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9671 software:
9672 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9673 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9674 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9675 Free => OPENSSL_free
9676 [Richard Levitte]
9677
9678 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9679 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9680 [Bodo Moeller]
9681
9682 *) CygWin32 support.
9683 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9684
9685 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9686 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9687 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9688 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9689 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9690 approach.
9691 [Geoff Thorpe]
9692
9693 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9694 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9695 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9696 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9697 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9698 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9699 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9700 [Geoff Thorpe]
9701
9702 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9703 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9704 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9705 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9706 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9707 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9708 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9709 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9710 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9711 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9712 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9713 [Bodo Moeller]
9714
9715 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9716 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9717 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9718 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9719 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9720
9721 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9722 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9723 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9724 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9725 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9726
9727 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9728 ciphers.
9729
9730 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9731 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9732 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9733 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9734
9735 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9736
9737 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9738 of macros.
9739
9740 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9741 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9742 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9743 flags.
9744
9745 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9746 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9747 any installed hardware versions can.
9748 [Steve Henson]
9749
9750 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9751 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9752 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9753 number.
9754 [Bodo Moeller]
9755
9756 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9757 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9758 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9759 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9760 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9761
9762 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9763 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9764 [Steve Henson]
9765
9766 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9767 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9768 [Richard Levitte]
9769
9770 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9771 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9772 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9773 features.
9774 [Steve Henson]
9775
9776 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9777 [Ulf Möller]
9778
9779 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9780 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9781 but no ssl client purpose.
9782 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9783
9784 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9785 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9786 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9787 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9788 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9789 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9790 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9791 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9792 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9793 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9794 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9795 [Steve Henson]
9796
9797 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9798 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9799 be obtained from the error queue.
9800 [Bodo Moeller]
9801
9802 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9803 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9804 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9805 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9806 [Bodo Moeller]
9807
9808 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9809 [Ulf Möller]
9810
9811 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9812 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9813 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9814 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9815 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9816 [Geoff Thorpe]
9817
9818 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9819 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9820 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9821 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9822 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9823 [Geoff Thorpe]
9824
9825 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9826 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9827 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9828 may not be NULL.
9829 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9830
9831 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9832 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9833 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9834 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9835 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9836 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9837 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9838 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9839 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9840 or "the configuration storage API"...
9841
9842 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9843
9844 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9845 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9846
9847 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9848
9849 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9850
9851 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9852 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9853 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9854 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9855 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9856 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9857 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9858
9859 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9860 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9861 [Richard Levitte]
9862
9863 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9864 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9865 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9866 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9867 [Bodo Moeller]
9868
9869 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9870 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9871 them in a portable way.
9872 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9873
9874 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9875
9876 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9877
9878 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9879 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9880
9881 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9882 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9883 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9884 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9885
9886 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9887 was larger than the MD block size.
9888 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9889
9890 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9891 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9892 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9893 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9894 components.
9895 [Steve Henson]
9896
9897 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9898 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9899 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9900
9901 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9902 discouraged.
9903 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9904
9905 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9906 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9907 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9908 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9909 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9910 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9911
9912 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9913 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9914
9915 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9916 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9917 [Bodo Moeller]
9918
9919 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9920 [Bodo Moeller]
9921
9922 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9923 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9924 its own key.
9925 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9926 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9927 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9928 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9929 [Bodo Moeller]
9930
9931 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9932 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9933 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9934 does not suppress any output.
9935 [Richard Levitte]
9936
9937 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9938 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9939 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9940 with all the associated security issues.
9941
9942 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9943 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9944 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9945 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9946 use the value in the default purpose.
9947 [Steve Henson]
9948
9949 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9950 and fix a memory leak.
9951 [Steve Henson]
9952
9953 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9954 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9955 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9956 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9957 [Bodo Moeller]
9958
9959 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9960 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9961 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9962 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9963 [Bodo Moeller]
9964
9965 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9966 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9967 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9968 [Bodo Moeller]
9969
9970 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9971 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9972 [Bodo Moeller]
9973
9974 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9975 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9976 which was free.
9977 [Steve Henson]
9978
9979 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9980 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9981 [Bodo Moeller]
9982
9983 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9984 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9985 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9986 [Bodo Moeller]
9987
9988 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9989 number generation fails.
9990 [Bodo Moeller]
9991
9992 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9993 [Bodo Moeller]
9994
9995 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9996 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9997
9998 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9999 [Ulf Möller]
10000
10001 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10002 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10003
10004 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10005 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10006
10007 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10008
10009 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10010 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10011 [Steve Henson]
10012
10013 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10014 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10015
10016 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10017 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10018 [Ulf Möller]
10019
10020 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10021 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10022 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10023 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10024 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10025 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10026
10027 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10028 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10029 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10030 for example.
10031 [Steve Henson]
10032
10033 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10034 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10035 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10036 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10037 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10038 counter, some don't.)
10039 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10040 counters or duplicate objects.
10041 [Steve Henson]
10042
10043 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10044 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10045 [Steve Henson]
10046
10047 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10048 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10049 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10050
10051 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10052 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10053 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10054 or -rand.
10055 [Ulf Möller]
10056
10057 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10058 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10059 [Steve Henson]
10060
10061 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10062 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10063 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10064 cipher list.
10065 [Steve Henson]
10066
10067 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10068 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10069 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10070 [Steve Henson]
10071
10072 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10073 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10074 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10075 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10076 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10077 should work without changes.
10078 [Richard Levitte]
10079
10080 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10081 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10082 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10083 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10084 must be defined. E.g.,
10085 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10086 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10087 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10088 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10089
10090 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10091 record layer.
10092 [Bodo Moeller]
10093
10094 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10095 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10096 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10097 [Steve Henson]
10098
10099 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10100 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10101 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10102 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10103 [Steve Henson]
10104
10105 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10106 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10107 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10108 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10109 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10110 is prompted for as usual.
10111 [Steve Henson]
10112
10113 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10114 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10115 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10116 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10117
10118 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10119 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10120 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10121 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10122 [Steve Henson]
10123
10124 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10125 [Andy Polyakov]
10126
10127 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10128 of seed file.
10129 [Steve Henson]
10130
10131 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10132 [Bodo Moeller]
10133
10134 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10135 [Steve Henson]
10136
10137 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10138 bits.
10139 [Ulf Möller]
10140
10141 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10142 [Ulf Möller]
10143
10144 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10145 [Andy Polyakov]
10146
10147 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10148 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10149 [Ulf Möller]
10150
10151 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10152 options to produce them.
10153 [Steve Henson]
10154
10155 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10156 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10157 [Ulf Möller]
10158
10159 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10160 for p == 0.
10161 [Ulf Möller]
10162
10163 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10164 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10165 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10166 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10167 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10168 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10169 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10170 [Steve Henson]
10171
10172 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10173 [Steve Henson]
10174
10175 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10176 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10177 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10178 [Bodo Moeller]
10179
10180 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10181 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10182
10183 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10184 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10185 [Ulf Möller]
10186
10187 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10188 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10189 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10190 has already seen).
10191 [Bodo Moeller]
10192
10193 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10194 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10195
10196 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10197 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10198 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10199 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10200 generation becomes much faster.
10201
10202 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10203 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10204 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10205 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10206 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10207 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10208 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10209 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10210 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10211 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10212 [Bodo Moeller]
10213
10214 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10215 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10216 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10217 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10218 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10219 trial division stage.
10220 [Bodo Moeller]
10221
10222 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10223 as ASN1_TIME.
10224 [Steve Henson]
10225
10226 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10227 [Steve Henson]
10228
10229 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10230 [Ulf Möller]
10231
10232 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10233 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10234 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10235 the comments.
10236 [Ulf Möller]
10237
10238 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10239 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10240 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10241 [Bodo Moeller]
10242
10243 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10244 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10245 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10246 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10247
10248 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10249 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10250 [Steve Henson]
10251
10252 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10253 [Ulf Möller]
10254
10255 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10256 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10257 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10258 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10259 [Ulf Möller]
10260
10261 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10262 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10263 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10264 [Ulf Möller]
10265
10266 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10267 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10268 (instead of parameters) in future.
10269 [Steve Henson]
10270
10271 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10272 when a new cipher list is set.
10273 [Steve Henson]
10274
10275 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10276 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10277 wrong.
10278
10279 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10280 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10281 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10282
10283 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10284 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10285 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10286 an error is flagged.
10287
10288 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10289 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10290 the readability was also increased :-)
10291 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10292
10293 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10294 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10295 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10296 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10297 as the root CA.
10298 [Steve Henson]
10299
10300 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10301 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10302 [Steve Henson]
10303
10304 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10305 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10306 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10307 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10308 instead.
10309
10310 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10311 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10312 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10313 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10314 because they handle more complex structures.)
10315 [Steve Henson]
10316
10317 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10318 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10319 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10320 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10321
10322 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10323 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10324 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10325 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10326 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10327 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10328 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10329 [Ulf Möller]
10330
10331 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10332 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10333 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10334 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10335 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10336 [Bodo Moeller]
10337
10338 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10339 [Bodo Moeller]
10340
10341 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10342 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10343 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10344 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10345 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10346 to use this.
10347
10348 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10349 code.
10350 [Steve Henson]
10351
10352 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10353 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10354 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10355 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10356 [Steve Henson]
10357
10358 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10359 [Ulf Möller]
10360
10361 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10362 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10363 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10364 international characters are used.
10365
10366 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10367 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10368 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10369 in ASN1 order.
10370 [Steve Henson]
10371
10372 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10373 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10374 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10375 request.
10376
10377 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10378 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10379 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10380 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10381 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10382 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10383
10384 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10385 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10386 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10387 be handled by the string table functions.
10388
10389 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10390 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10391 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10392 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10393 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10394 types at all.
10395 [Steve Henson]
10396
10397 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10398 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10399 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10400 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10401 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10402
10403 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10404 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10405 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10406 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10407 [Bodo Moeller]
10408
10409 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10410 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10411 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10412 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10413 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10414 SHA1.
10415 [Andy Polyakov]
10416
10417 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10418 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10419 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10420 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10421 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10422 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10423 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10424 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10425
10426 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10427 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10428 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10429 [Steve Henson]
10430
10431 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10432 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10433 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10434 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10435 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10436 support to pkcs8 application.
10437 [Steve Henson]
10438
10439 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10440 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10441 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10442 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10443 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10444 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10445 [Bodo Moeller]
10446
10447 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10448 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10449 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10450 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10451 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10452 consistency.
10453 [Bodo Moeller]
10454
10455 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10456 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10457 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10458 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10459 example.
10460 [Steve Henson]
10461
10462 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10463 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10464 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10465 and any application specific purposes.
10466
10467 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10468 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10469 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10470 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10471 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10472 if the certificate is self signed.
10473 [Steve Henson]
10474
10475 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10476 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10477 [Steve Henson]
10478
10479 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10480 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10481 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10482 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10483 [Steve Henson]
10484
10485 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10486 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10487 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10488 Update documentation.
10489 [Steve Henson]
10490
10491 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10492 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10493 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10494 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10495 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10496 [Steve Henson]
10497
10498 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10499 for details.
10500 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10501
10502 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10503 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10504 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10505 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10506 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10507 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10508 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10509 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10510 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10511 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10512
10513 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10514
10515 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10516 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10517 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10518 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10519 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10520
10521 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10522 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10523 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10524 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10525 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10526 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10527 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10528 request additional information:
10529 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10530 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10531
10532 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10533 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10534 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10535 options.
10536
10537 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10538 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10539
10540 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10541 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10542 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10543
10544 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10545 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10546
10547 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10548 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10549 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10550 algorithm.
10551 [Steve Henson]
10552
10553 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10554 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10555 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10556
10557 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10558 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10559 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10560 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10561 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10562 included in OpenSSL.
10563 [Steve Henson]
10564
10565 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10566 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10567 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10568 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10569 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10570 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10571 [Bodo Moeller]
10572
10573 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10574 PKCS12 structure.
10575 [Steve Henson]
10576
10577 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10578 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10579 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10580 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10581 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10582 structure.
10583 [Steve Henson]
10584
10585 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10586 need initialising.
10587 [Steve Henson]
10588
10589 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10590 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10591 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10592 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10593 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10594 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10595 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10596 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10597 be maintained manually.
10598
10599 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10600 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10601 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10602 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10603 work because people forget to call this function]
10604 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10605 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10606 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10607 [Steve Henson]
10608
10609 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10610 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10611 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10612 should be discouraged from doing it.
10613 [Ben Laurie]
10614
10615 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10616 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10617 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10618 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10619 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10620 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10621 [Steve Henson]
10622
10623 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10624 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10625 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10626
10627 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10628 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10629 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10630
10631 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10632 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10633 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10634 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10635 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10636 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10637
10638 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10639 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10640 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10641
10642 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10643 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10644 and vice versa.
10645
10646 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10647 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10648 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10649 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10650 [Steve Henson]
10651
10652 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10653 [Steve Henson]
10654
10655 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10656 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10657 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10658 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10659 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10660 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10661 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10662 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10663 keys so we should be OK.
10664
10665 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10666 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10667 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10668 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10669 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10670 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10671 stay in the name of compatibility.
10672
10673 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10674 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10675 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10676
10677 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10678 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10679 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10680 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10681 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10682 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10683 supplied key).
10684 [Steve Henson]
10685
10686 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10687 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10688 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10689 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10690 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10691 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10692 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10693 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10694 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10695 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10696 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10697 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10698 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10699 [Steve Henson]
10700
10701 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10702 [Steve Henson]
10703
10704 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10705 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10706 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10707 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10708 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10709 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10710 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10711 openssl verify ss.pem
10712 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10713 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10714 is OK.
10715 [Steve Henson]
10716
10717 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10718 (and add it to external session representation).
10719 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10720 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10721 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10722 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10723 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10724 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10725 security holes.
10726 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10727
10728 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10729 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10730 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10731 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10732
10733 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10734 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10735 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10736 [Steve Henson]
10737
10738 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10739 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10740 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10741 code.
10742 [Steve Henson]
10743
10744 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10745 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10746 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10747
10748 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10749 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10750 certificate auxiliary information.
10751 [Steve Henson]
10752
10753 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10754 the 'enc' command.
10755 [Steve Henson]
10756
10757 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10758 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10759 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10760 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10761 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10762 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10763 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10764 [Richard Levitte]
10765
10766 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10767 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10768 [Steve Henson]
10769
10770 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10771 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10772 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10773 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10774 [Steve Henson]
10775
10776 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10777 [Steve Henson]
10778
10779 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10780 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10781 [Steve Henson]
10782
10783 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10784 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10785 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10786 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10787 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10788 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10789 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10790 using the new 'x509' options.
10791
10792 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10793 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10794 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10795 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10796 for all purposes.
10797 [Steve Henson]
10798
10799 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10800 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10801 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10802 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10803 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10804 [Mark Cox]
10805
10806 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10807 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10808 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10809 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10810 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10811 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10812 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10813 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10814 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10815 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10816 [Steve Henson]
10817
10818 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10819 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10820 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10821 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10822 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10823 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10824 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10825 [Steve Henson]
10826
10827 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10828 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10829 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10830 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10831 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10832 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10833 openssl.cnf for more info.
10834 [Steve Henson]
10835
10836 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10837 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10838 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10839 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10840 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10841 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10842 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10843 md should be large enough anyway.
10844 [Bodo Moeller]
10845
10846 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10847 for handling the random seed file.
10848
10849 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10850 ca,
10851 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10852 s_client,
10853 s_server,
10854 x509 (when signing).
10855 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10856 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10857 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10858
10859 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10860 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10861 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10862 that support '-rand'.
10863 [Bodo Moeller]
10864
10865 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10866 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10867 [Bodo Moeller]
10868
10869 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10870 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10871 [Bill Perry]
10872
10873 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10874 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10875 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10876 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10877 is suitable.
10878 [Steve Henson]
10879
10880 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10881 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10882 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10883 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10884 [Steve Henson]
10885
10886 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10887 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10888 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10889 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10890 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10891 print out all the purposes.
10892 [Steve Henson]
10893
10894 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10895 functions.
10896 [Steve Henson]
10897
10898 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10899 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10900 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10901 single function call.
10902 [Steve Henson]
10903
10904 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10905 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10906 [Andy Polyakov]
10907
10908 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10909 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10910 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10911 [Steve Henson]
10912
10913 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10914 when producing the local key id.
10915 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10916
10917 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10918 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10919 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10920 "server.pem".
10921 [Steve Henson]
10922
10923 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10924 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10925 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10926 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10927 [Steve Henson]
10928
10929 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10930 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10931 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10932 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10933
10934 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10935 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10936 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10937 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10938
10939 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10940 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10941 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10942 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10943 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10944 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10945 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10946 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10947 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10948 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10949 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10950 trivial: move one line.
10951 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10952
10953 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10954 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10955 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10956 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10957 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10958 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10959 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10960 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10961 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10962 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10963 with an event loop for example.
10964 [Steve Henson]
10965
10966 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10967 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10968 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10969 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10970 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10971 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10972 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10973 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10974 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10975 [Steve Henson]
10976
10977 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10978 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10979 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10980 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10981 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10982 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10983 [Steve Henson]
10984
10985 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10986 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10987 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10988 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10989
10990 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10991 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10992 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10993 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10994 key generation.
10995 [Steve Henson]
10996
10997 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10998 (still largely untested)
10999 [Bodo Moeller]
11000
11001 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11002 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11003 [Steve Henson]
11004
11005 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11006 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11007 [Steve Henson]
11008
11009 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11010 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11011 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11012 [Bodo Moeller]
11013
11014 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11015 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11016 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11017 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11018 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11019 [Steve Henson]
11020
11021 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11022 [Andy Polyakov]
11023
11024 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11025 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11026 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11027 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11028 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11029 in ca.
11030 [Steve Henson]
11031
11032 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11033 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11034 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11035 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11036 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11037 [Steve Henson]
11038
11039 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11040 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11041 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11042 are otherwise ignored at present.
11043 [Steve Henson]
11044
11045 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11046 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11047 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11048 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11049 copied until the next read.
11050 [Steve Henson]
11051
11052 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11053 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11054 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11055 [Steve Henson]
11056
11057 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11058 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11059 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11060 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11061 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11062 associated functions.
11063 [Steve Henson]
11064
11065 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11066 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11067 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11068 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11069 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11070 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11071 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11072 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11073 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11074 memory BIOs.
11075 [Steve Henson]
11076
11077 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11078 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11079 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11080 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11081 [Bodo Moeller]
11082
11083 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11084 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11085 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11086 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11087 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11088 functionality.
11089 [Steve Henson]
11090
11091 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11092 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11093 under Win32.
11094 [Steve Henson]
11095
11096 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11097 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11098 extensions to be obtained and added.
11099 [Steve Henson]
11100
11101 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11102 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11103 [Bodo Moeller]
11104
11105 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11106
11107 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11108 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11109
11110 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11111 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11112
11113 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11114 program.
11115 [Steve Henson]
11116
11117 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11118 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11119 DH parameters contain its length).
11120
11121 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11122 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11123 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11124 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11125 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11126 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11127 utter importance to use
11128 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11129 or
11130 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11131 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11132 attacks may become possible!
11133 [Bodo Moeller]
11134
11135 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11136 [Bodo Moeller]
11137
11138 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11139 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11140 [Steve Henson]
11141
11142 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11143 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11144 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11145 or long name.
11146 [Steve Henson]
11147
11148 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11149 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11150 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11151 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11152 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11153 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11154 private key operations.
11155 [Steve Henson]
11156
11157 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11158 [Andy Polyakov]
11159
11160 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11161 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11162 to
11163 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11164 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11165 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11166 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11167 the password callback is called.
11168 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11169
11170 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11171
11172 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11173 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11174 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11175 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11176 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11177 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11178 this will work.
11179
11180 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11181 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11182 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11183 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11184 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11185 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11186 [Bodo Moeller]
11187
11188 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11189 [Andy Polyakov]
11190
11191 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11192 delete an unused file.
11193 [Ulf Möller]
11194
11195 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11196 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11197 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11198 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11199 [Steve Henson]
11200
11201 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11202 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11203 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11204 of an error.
11205 [Bodo Moeller]
11206
11207 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11208 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11209 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11210
11211 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11212 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11213 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11214 comparison" warnings.
11215 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11216 [Steve Henson]
11217
11218 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11219 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11220 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11221 [Steve Henson]
11222
11223 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11224 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11225
11226 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11227 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11228
11229 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11230 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11231 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11232
11233 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11234 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11235 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11236 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11237 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11238 this bug.
11239 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11240
11241 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11242 The interface is as follows:
11243 Applications can use
11244 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11245 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11246 "off" is now the default.
11247 The library internally uses
11248 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11249 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11250 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11251
11252 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11253 even the default) are now avoided.
11254
11255 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11256 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11257 than just having a counter.
11258
11259 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11260
11261 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11262 extensions.
11263 [Bodo Moeller]
11264
11265 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11266 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11267 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11268 Initial "mode" flags are:
11269
11270 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11271 a single record has been written.
11272 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11273 retries use the same buffer location.
11274 (But all of the contents must be
11275 copied!)
11276 [Bodo Moeller]
11277
11278 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11279 worked.
11280
11281 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11282 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11283
11284 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11285 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11286 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11287 [Steve Henson]
11288
11289 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11290 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11291 test programs.
11292 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11293
11294 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11295 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11296 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11297 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11298 point to the end.
11299 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11300 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11301
11302 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11303 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11304 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11305 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11306 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11307 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11308 [Steve Henson]
11309
11310 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11311 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11312 necessary function names.
11313 [Steve Henson]
11314
11315 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11316 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11317 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11318 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11319 [Bodo Moeller]
11320
11321 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11322 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11323 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11324 [Steve Henson]
11325
11326 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11327 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11328 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11329 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11330 such programs?)
11331 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11332 need locks.
11333 [Bodo Moeller]
11334
11335 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11336 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11337 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11338 [Bodo Moeller]
11339
11340 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11341 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11342 appropriate.
11343 [Bodo Moeller]
11344
11345 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11346 for the encoded length.
11347 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11348
11349 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11350 [Steve Henson]
11351
11352 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11353 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11354 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11355 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11356 [Steve Henson]
11357
11358 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11359 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11360 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11361
11362 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11363 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11364 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11365 unusual formatting.
11366 [Steve Henson]
11367
11368 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11369 to use the new extension code.
11370 [Steve Henson]
11371
11372 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11373 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11374 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11375 constant.
11376 [Steve Henson]
11377
11378 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11379 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11380 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11381 [Bodo Moeller]
11382
11383 #if 0
11384 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11385 [Ben Laurie]
11386 #else
11387 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11388 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11389 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11390 #endif
11391
11392 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11393 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11394 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11395 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11396 [Ben Laurie]
11397
11398 *) DES library cleanups.
11399 [Ulf Möller]
11400
11401 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11402 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11403 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11404 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11405 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11406 of v2.0.
11407 [Steve Henson]
11408
11409 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11410 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11411 [Bodo Moeller]
11412
11413 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11414 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11415 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11416 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11417 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11418 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11419 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11420 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11421 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11422 [Steve Henson]
11423
11424 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11425 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11426 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11427 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11428 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11429 value doesn't matter.
11430 [Steve Henson]
11431
11432 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11433 support mutable.
11434 [Ben Laurie]
11435
11436 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11437 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11438 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11439 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11440
11441 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11442 [Ulf Möller]
11443
11444 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11445 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11446 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11447
11448 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11449 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11450
11451 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11452 [Ben Laurie]
11453
11454 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11455 [Ben Laurie]
11456
11457 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11458 [Ben Laurie]
11459
11460 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11461 [Bodo Moeller]
11462
11463
11464 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11465
11466 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11467
11468 *) Updated some demos.
11469 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11470
11471 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11472 [Wu Zhigang]
11473
11474 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11475 [Steve Henson]
11476
11477 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11478 [Steve Henson]
11479
11480 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11481 instead of using a fixed path.
11482 [Bodo Moeller]
11483
11484 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11485 [Andy Polyakov]
11486
11487 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11488 [Richard Levitte]
11489
11490
11491 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11492
11493 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11494 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11495 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11496
11497 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11498 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11499 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11500 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11501 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11502 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11503 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11504 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11505 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11506 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11507 [Steve Henson]
11508
11509 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11510 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11511 [Steve Henson]
11512
11513 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11514 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11515 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11516 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11517 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11518
11519 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11520 [Bodo Moeller]
11521
11522 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11523 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11524 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11525 [Steve Henson]
11526
11527 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11528 [Ben Laurie]
11529
11530 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11531 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11532 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11533 key elements as negative integers.
11534 [Steve Henson]
11535
11536 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11537 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11538
11539 *) VMS support.
11540 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11541
11542 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11543 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11544 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11545 [Steve Henson]
11546
11547 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11548 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11549 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11550 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11551 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11552 [Bodo Moeller]
11553
11554 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11555 [Ulf Möller]
11556
11557 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11558 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11559 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11560 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11561
11562 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11563 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11564 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11565
11566 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11567 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11568 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11569 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11570 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11571 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11572 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11573 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11574 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11575
11576 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11577 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11578 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11579 does not influence s as it used to.
11580
11581 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11582 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11583 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11584 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11585 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11586 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11587 [Bodo Moeller]
11588
11589 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11590 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11591 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11592 key type.
11593 [Steve Henson]
11594
11595 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11596 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11597 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11598 and 'x509').
11599 [Steve Henson]
11600
11601 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11602 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11603 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11604 extension option.
11605 [Steve Henson]
11606
11607 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11608 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11609 [Ben Laurie]
11610
11611 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11612 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11613
11614 *) Support Mingw32.
11615 [Ulf Möller]
11616
11617 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11618 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11619
11620 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11621 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11622
11623 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11624 [Ulf Möller]
11625
11626 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11627 [Anonymous]
11628
11629 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11630 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11631
11632 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11633 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11634 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11635 DER-encoded.)
11636 [Bodo Moeller]
11637
11638 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11639 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11640 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11641 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11642 now it really counts the depth.
11643 [Bodo Moeller]
11644
11645 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11646 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11647 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11648 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11649 didn't match the private key).
11650
11651 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11652 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11653 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11654 [Bodo Moeller]
11655
11656 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11657 [Ulf Möller]
11658
11659 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11660 David Harris.
11661 [Bodo Moeller]
11662
11663 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11664 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11665 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11666 [Bodo Moeller]
11667
11668 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11669 [Bodo Moeller]
11670
11671 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11672 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11673 such as /usr/local/bin.
11674 [Bodo Moeller]
11675
11676 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11677 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11678
11679 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11680 [Ulf Möller]
11681
11682 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11683 extension adding in x509 utility.
11684 [Steve Henson]
11685
11686 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11687 [Ulf Möller]
11688
11689 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11690 prototypes.
11691 [Steve Henson]
11692
11693 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11694 [Ulf Möller]
11695
11696 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11697 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11698 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11699 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11700 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11701 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11702 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11703 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11704 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11705 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11706 [Steve Henson]
11707
11708 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11709 [Bodo Moeller]
11710
11711 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11712 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11713 [Bodo Moeller]
11714
11715 *) Fix some race conditions.
11716 [Bodo Moeller]
11717
11718 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11719 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11720 [Steve Henson]
11721
11722 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11723 [Ulf Möller]
11724
11725 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11726 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11727 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11728 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11729
11730 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11731 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11732
11733 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11734 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11735 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11736
11737 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11738 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11739
11740 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11741 [Ulf Möller]
11742
11743 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11744 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11745
11746 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11747 [Ulf Möller]
11748
11749 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11750 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11751
11752 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11753 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11754 [Steve Henson]
11755
11756 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11757 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11758 [Ben Laurie]
11759
11760 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11761 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11762 [Steve Henson]
11763
11764 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11765 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11766 [Steve Henson]
11767
11768 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11769 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11770 [Steve Henson]
11771
11772 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11773 support typesafe stack.
11774 [Steve Henson]
11775
11776 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11777 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11778
11779 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11780 old X509V3 handling code.
11781 [Steve Henson]
11782
11783 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11784 [Ulf Möller]
11785
11786 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11787 [Bodo Moeller]
11788
11789 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11790 [Ben Laurie]
11791
11792 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11793 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11794
11795 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11796 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11797 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11798 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11799 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11800 [Ben Laurie]
11801
11802 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11803 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11804 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11805 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11806 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11807
11808 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11809 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11810 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11811 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11812
11813 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11814 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11815 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11816 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11817
11818 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11819 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11820 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11821 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11822 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11823 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11824 [Bodo Moeller]
11825
11826 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11827 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11828 [Bodo Moeller]
11829
11830 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11831 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11832 [Ulf Möller]
11833
11834 *) Tweaks to Configure
11835 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11836
11837 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11838 yet...
11839 [Steve Henson]
11840
11841 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11842 [Ulf Möller]
11843
11844 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11845 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11846 [Ulf Möller]
11847
11848 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11849 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11850 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11851 [Bodo Moeller]
11852
11853 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11854 [Bodo Moeller]
11855
11856 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11857 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11858 [Steve Henson]
11859
11860 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11861 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11862 to library startup routines.
11863 [Steve Henson]
11864
11865 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11866 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11867 codes along the way.
11868 [Steve Henson]
11869
11870 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11871 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11872 objects to objects.h
11873 [Steve Henson]
11874
11875 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11876 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11877 [Steve Henson]
11878
11879 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11880 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11881
11882 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11883 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11884 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11885
11886 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11887 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11888 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11889
11890 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11891 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11892 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11893
11894
11895 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11896
11897 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11898 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11899 [Ben Laurie]
11900
11901 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11902 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11903 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11904 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11905 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11906
11907 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11908 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11909 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11910 document.
11911 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11912
11913 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11914 Malloc, Free.
11915 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11916
11917 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11918 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11919
11920 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11921 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11922 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11923 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11924
11925 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11926 [Ben Laurie]
11927
11928 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11929 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11930 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11931 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11932 [Steve Henson]
11933
11934 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11935 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11936 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11937 [Steve Henson]
11938
11939 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11940 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11941 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11942 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11943 installed as `perl').
11944 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11945
11946 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11947 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11948
11949 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11950 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11951 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11952 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11953 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11954 [Steve Henson]
11955
11956 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11957 [Ben Laurie]
11958
11959 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11960 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11961 is horrible: I feel ill....
11962 [Steve Henson]
11963
11964 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11965 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11966 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11967 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11968 [Steve Henson]
11969
11970 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11971 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11972
11973 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11974 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11975 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11976 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11977
11978 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11979 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11980 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11981 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11982 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11983 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11984 openssl_bio.xs.
11985 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11986
11987 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11988 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11989
11990 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11991 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11992
11993 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11994 [Ben Laurie]
11995
11996 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11997 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11998 in CRLs.
11999 [Steve Henson]
12000
12001 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12002 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12003 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12004 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12005 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12006 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12007 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12008 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12009 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12010 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12011 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12012
12013 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12014 [Ben Laurie]
12015
12016 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12017 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12018 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12019 for linking it into DSOs.
12020 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12021
12022 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12023 Fixed.
12024 [Ben Laurie]
12025
12026 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12027 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12028 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12029 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12030 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12031 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12032
12033 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12034 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12035 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12036 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12037 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12038 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12039 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12040
12041 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12042 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12043 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12044 encryption.
12045 [Ben Laurie]
12046
12047 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12048 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12049 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12050 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12051 [Steve Henson]
12052
12053 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12054 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12055 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12056 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12057 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12058 field as blank.
12059 [Steve Henson]
12060
12061 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12062 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12063 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12064 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12065 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12066
12067 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12068 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12069 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12070
12071 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12072 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12073
12074 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12075 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12076 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12077 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12078 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12079 [Steve Henson]
12080
12081 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12082 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12083 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12084 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12085 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12086 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12087 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12088 [Ben Laurie]
12089
12090 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12091 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12092 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12093 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12094 [Ben Laurie]
12095
12096 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12097 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12098
12099 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12100 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12101 [Steve Henson]
12102
12103 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12104 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12105 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12106 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12107 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12108 (e.g. s_server).
12109 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12110 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12111 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12112 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12113 no way to reconfigure them.
12114 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12115 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12116 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12117 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12118 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12119 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12120
12121 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12122 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12123 recognized by the users.
12124 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12125
12126 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12127 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12128 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12129 already masked variable.
12130 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12131
12132 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12133 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12134
12135 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12136 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12137 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12138 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12139
12140 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12141 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12142 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12143
12144 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12145 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12146 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12147 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12148 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12149 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12150 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12151 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12152 now, too.
12153 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12154
12155 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12156 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12157 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12158
12159 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12160 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12161 config file.
12162 [Steve Henson]
12163
12164 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12165 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12166
12167 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12168 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12169 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12170 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12171 [Ben Laurie]
12172
12173 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12174 [Steve Henson]
12175
12176 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12177 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12178
12179 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12180 [Ben Laurie]
12181
12182 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12183 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12184 [Steve Henson]
12185
12186 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12187 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12188 [Steve Henson]
12189
12190 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12191 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12192 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12193 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12194 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12195 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12196 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12197 Ben Laurie]
12198
12199 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12200 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12201
12202 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12203 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12204 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12205 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12206 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12207
12208 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12209 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12210 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12211 [Steve Henson]
12212
12213 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12214 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12215 an example.
12216 [Steve Henson]
12217
12218 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12219 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12220 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12221
12222 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12223 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12224 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12225 build instructions.
12226 [Steve Henson]
12227
12228 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12229 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12230 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12231 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12232 [Steve Henson]
12233
12234 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12235 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12236 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12237 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12238 [Ben Laurie]
12239
12240 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12241 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12242 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12243 so it wasn't spotted.
12244 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12245
12246 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12247 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12248 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12249 vectors if you have them.
12250 [Ben Laurie]
12251
12252 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12253 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12254 [Ben Laurie]
12255
12256 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12257 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12258 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12259 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12260 If you do a:
12261 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12262 it will update them.
12263 [Steve Henson]
12264
12265 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12266 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12267 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12268 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12269 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12270 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12271 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12272 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12273
12274 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12275 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12276 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12277 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12278 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12279 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12280 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12281 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12282 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12283 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12284
12285 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12286 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12287 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12288 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12289 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12290 [Steve Henson]
12291
12292 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12293 INTEGER code.
12294 [Steve Henson]
12295
12296 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12297 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12298
12299 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12300 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12301
12302 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12303 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12304 [Ben Laurie]
12305
12306 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12307 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12308
12309 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12310 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12311
12312 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12313 [Steve Henson]
12314
12315 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12316 few typos.
12317 [Steve Henson]
12318
12319 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12320 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12321 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12322 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12323
12324 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12325 [Steve Henson]
12326
12327 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12328 [Steve Henson]
12329
12330 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12331 [Steve Henson]
12332
12333 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12334 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12335 [Steve Henson]
12336
12337 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12338 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12339 CA extensions.
12340 [Steve Henson]
12341
12342 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12343 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12344 [Steve Henson]
12345
12346 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12347 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12348 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12349 [Steve Henson]
12350
12351 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12352 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12353 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12354 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12355 properly to be processed.
12356 [Steve Henson]
12357
12358 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12359 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12360 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12361 [Ben Laurie]
12362
12363 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12364 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12365
12366 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12367 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12368 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12369 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12370 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12371 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12372 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12373 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12374 or delete all the .err files.
12375 [Steve Henson]
12376
12377 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12378 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12379 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12380 to regenerate it if needed.
12381 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12382 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12383
12384 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12385 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12386
12387 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12388 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12389 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12390 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12391 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12392 [Steve Henson]
12393
12394 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12395 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12396
12397 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12398 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12399
12400 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12401 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12402 error, but didn't set one).
12403 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12404
12405 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12406 [Ben Laurie]
12407
12408 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12409 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12410 [Steve Henson]
12411
12412 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12413 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12414
12415 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12416 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12417 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12418 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12419 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12420 OID is not part of the table.
12421 [Steve Henson]
12422
12423 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12424 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12425 [Ben Laurie]
12426
12427 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12428 [Ben Laurie]
12429
12430 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12431 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12432 was "1234").
12433 [Steve Henson]
12434
12435 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12436 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12437
12438 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12439 NULL pointers.
12440 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12441
12442 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12443 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12444
12445 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12446 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12447
12448 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12449 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12450
12451 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12452 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12453 [Ben Laurie]
12454
12455 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12456 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12457 [Steve Henson]
12458
12459 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12460 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12461
12462 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12463 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12464
12465 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12466 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12467
12468 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12469 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12470
12471 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12472 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12473 unused in the certificate verification process.
12474 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12475
12476 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12477 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12478 [Steve Henson]
12479
12480 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12481 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12482 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12483
12484 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12485 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12486 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12487 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12488 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12489
12490 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12491 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12492 [Steve Henson]
12493
12494 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12495 [Steve Henson]
12496
12497 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12498 [Paul Sutton]
12499
12500 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12501 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12502
12503 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12504 [Ben Laurie]
12505
12506 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12507 [Ben Laurie]
12508
12509 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12510 [Ben Laurie]
12511
12512 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12513 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12514 other error libraries.
12515 [Steve Henson]
12516
12517 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12518 [Steve Henson]
12519
12520 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12521 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12522 be read in.
12523 [Steve Henson]
12524
12525 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12526 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12527 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12528 the new set of documentation files.
12529 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12530
12531 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12532 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12533 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12534 number of arguments.
12535 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12536
12537 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12538 [Ben Laurie]
12539
12540 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12541 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12542 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12543
12544 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12545 [Ben Laurie]
12546
12547 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12548 nextstep
12549 ncr-scde
12550 unixware-2.0
12551 unixware-2.0-pentium
12552 sco5-cc.
12553 [Ben Laurie]
12554
12555 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12556 before they are needed.
12557 [Ben Laurie]
12558
12559 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12560 [Ben Laurie]
12561
12562
12563 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12564
12565 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12566 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12567 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12568
12569 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12570 [Paul Sutton]
12571
12572 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12573 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12574 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12575
12576 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12577 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12578 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12579
12580 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12581 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12582 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12583
12584 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12585 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12586
12587 *) Updated the README file.
12588 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12589
12590 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12591 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12592 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12593
12594 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12595 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12596 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12597
12598 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12599 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12600 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12601 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12602 o removed obsolete TODO file
12603 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12604 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12605
12606 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12607 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12608 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
12609 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
12610 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
12611 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
12612 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12613
12614 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12615 [Mark J. Cox]
12616
12617 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12618 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12619 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12620 summer 1998.
12621 [The OpenSSL Project]
12622
12623
12624 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]

12628
12629 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
12630 [Eric A. Young]
12631
12632 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
12633 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
12634 [Eric A. Young]
12635
12636 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
12637 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
12638 available).
12639 [Eric A. Young]
12640
12641 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
12642 binary structures
12643 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
12644
12645 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
12646 [Eric A. Young]
12647
12648 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
12649 [Eric A. Young]
12650
12651 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
12652 [Eric A. Young]
12653
12654 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
12655 [Eric A. Young]
12656
12657 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.

12662
12663 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
12664 [Eric A. Young]
12665
12666 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
12667 [Eric A. Young]
12668
12669 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
12670 [Eric A. Young]
12671
12672 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
12673 [Eric A. Young]
12674
12675 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
12676 [Eric A. Young]
12677
12678 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
12679 [Eric A. Young]
12680
12681 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
12682 [Eric A. Young]
12683
12684 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
12685 [Eric A. Young]
12686
12687 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
12688 [Eric A. Young]
12689
12690 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
12691 [Eric A. Young]
12692
12693 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
12694 [Eric A. Young]
12695
12696 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
12697 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
12698 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12699 [Eric A. Young]
12700
12701 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12702 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
12703 [Eric A. Young]
12704
12705 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
12706 [Eric A. Young]
12707
12708 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
12709 [Eric A. Young]
12710
12711 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
12712 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
12713 [Eric A. Young]
12714
12715 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
12716 [Eric A. Young]
12717
12718 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
12719 [Eric A. Young]
12720
12721 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
12722 bytes sent in the client random.
12723 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
12724
