5 Changes between 0.9.8k and 1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
8 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
9 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
10 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
11 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
12 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
13 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
14 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
15 [Steve Henson]
16
17 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
18 OPENSSL_asc2uni the original names were too generic and cause name
19 clashes on Netware.
20 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
21
22 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
23 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
24
25 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
26 be used on C++.
27 [Steve Henson]
28
29 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
30 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
31 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
32 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
33 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
34 attempting to work them out.
35 [Steve Henson]
36
37 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
38 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
39 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
40 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
41 [Steve Henson]
42
43 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
44 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
45 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
46 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
47 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
48 [Steve Henson]
49
50 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
51 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
52 you can do:
53
54 openssl sha256 foo
55
56 as well as:
57
58 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
59
60 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
61
62 [Steve Henson]
63
64 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
65 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
66
67 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
68 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
69
70 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
71 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
72 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
73 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
74 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
75 [Steve Henson]
76
77 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
78 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
79 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
80 [Steve Henson]
81
82 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
83 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
84 [Steve Henson]
85
86 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
87 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
88
89 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
90 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
91 [Steve Henson]
92
93 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
94 [Ben Laurie]
95
96 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
97 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
98 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
99 CONF_VALUE.
100 [Ben Laurie]
101
102 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
103 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
104 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
105 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
106 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
107 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
108 [Steve Henson]
109
110 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
111 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
112
113 This work was sponsored by Google.
114 [Steve Henson]
115
116 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
117 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
118 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
119 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
120 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
121 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
122 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
123 default.
124
125 This work was sponsored by Google.
126 [Steve Henson]
127
128 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
129
130 This work was sponsored by Google.
131 [Steve Henson]
132
133 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
134 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
135 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
136 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
137
138 This work was sponsored by Google.
139 [Steve Henson]
140
141 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
142 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
143 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
144 CRL functionality in future.
145
146 This work was sponsored by Google.
147 [Steve Henson]
148
149 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
150
151 This work was sponsored by Google.
152 [Steve Henson]
153
154 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
155 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
156
157 This work was sponsored by Google.
158 [Steve Henson]
159
160 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
161 and URI types are currently supported.
162
163 This work was sponsored by Google.
164 [Steve Henson]
165
166 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
167 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
168 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
169 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
170 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
171 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
172 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
173 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
174
175 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
176 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
177 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
178
179 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
180 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
181 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
182 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
183
184 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
185 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
186 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
187 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
188 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
189 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
190 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
191 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
192 of &errno.)
193 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
194
195 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
196 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
197 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
198
199 This work was sponsored by Google.
200 [Steve Henson]
201
202 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
203 [Ben Laurie]
204
205 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
206 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
207 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
208 [Ben Laurie]
209
210 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
211 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
212 [Nick Mathewson]
213
214 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
215 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
216 [Ben Laurie]
217
218 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
219 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
220 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
221 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
222 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
223 content types and variants.
224 [Steve Henson]
225
226 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
227 [Steve Henson]
228
229 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
230 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
231 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
232 files from the associated perl scripts.
233 [Steve Henson]
234
235 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
236 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
237 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
238
239 *) s390x assembler pack.
240 [Andy Polyakov]
241
242 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
243 "family."
244 [Andy Polyakov]
245
246 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
247 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
248 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
249 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
250 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
251 to use. For example, specify an option
252
253 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
254
255 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
256 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
257 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
258 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
259 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
260 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
261
262 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
263 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
264 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
265 return non-zero for success.
266
267 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
268 by using
269
270 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
271 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
272
273 where
274
275 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
276 void *arg;
277
278 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
279 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
280 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
281 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
282 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
283 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
284 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
285 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
286 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
287
288 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
289 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
290 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
291 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
292 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
293 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
294
295 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
296 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
297 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
298 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
299 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
300 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
301
302 [Bodo Moeller]
303
304 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
305 MAC.
306
307 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
308
309 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
310 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
311 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
312 supported.
313
314 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
315 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
316 SSL_SESSION.
317
318 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
319 protection in servers so again support should be possible
320 with no application modification.
321
322 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
323 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
324
325 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
326 or server extensions to be examined.
327
328 This work was sponsored by Google.
329 [Steve Henson]
330
331 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
332 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
333 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
334
335 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
336 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
337 ciphersuite support.
338 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
339
340 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
341 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
342 to output in BER and PEM format.
343 [Steve Henson]
344
345 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
346 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
347 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
348 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
349 -macopt options to dgst utility.
350 [Steve Henson]
351
352 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
353 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
354 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
355 utility.
356 [Steve Henson]
357
358 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
359 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
360 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
361 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
362 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
363 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
364 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
365 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
366 enabled again.
367
368 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
369 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
370 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
371 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
372
373 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
374 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
375 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
376 the default order.
377 [Bodo Moeller]
378
379 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
380 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
381 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
382 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
383 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
384 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
385 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
386 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
387 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
388
389 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
390 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
391 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
392 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
393 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
394 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
395 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
396 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
397 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
398 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
399 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
400 kinds of kludges.
401
402 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
403 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
404 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
405
406 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
407 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
408 "CAMELLIA256".
409 [Bodo Moeller]
410
411 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
412 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
413 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
414 [Nils Larsch]
415
416 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
417 it yet and it is largely untested.
418 [Steve Henson]
419
420 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
421 [Nils Larsch]
422
423 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
424 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
425 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
426 [Steve Henson]
427
428 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
429 [Andy Polyakov]
430
431 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
432 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
433 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
434 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
435 [Steve Henson]
436
437 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
438 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
439 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
440 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
441 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
442 [Steve Henson]
443
444 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
445 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
446 [Cryptocom]
447
448 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
449 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
450 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
451 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
452 [Steve Henson]
453
454 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
455 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
456 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
457 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
458 [Steve Henson]
459
460 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
461 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
462 [Steve Henson]
463
464 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
465 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
466 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
467 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
468 [Steve Henson]
469
470 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
471 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
472 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
473 [Steve Henson]
474
475 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
476 utility.
477 [Steve Henson]
478
479 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
480 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
481 [Steve Henson]
482
483 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
484 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
485 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
486 if necessary.
487 [Steve Henson]
488
489 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
490 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
491 to free up any added signature OIDs.
492 [Steve Henson]
493
494 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
495 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
496 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
497 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
498 [Steve Henson]
499
500 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
501 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
502 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
503 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
504 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
505 the array representation useful in a more general context.
506 [Douglas Stebila]
507
508 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
509 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
510 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
511 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
512 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
513
514 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
515 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
516 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
517 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
518 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
519 protocol).
520
521 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
522 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
523 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
524 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:

526 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
527 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
528 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
529 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
530 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
531
532 aECDH - ECDH cert
533 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
534 ECDSA - ECDSA cert

537 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
538
539 [Bodo Moeller]
540
541 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
542 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
543 [Steve Henson]
544
545 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
546 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
547 [Steve Henson]
548
549 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
550 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
551 functional reference processing.
552 [Steve Henson]
553
554 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
555 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
556 process.
557 [Steve Henson]
558
559 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
560 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
561 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
562 [Steve Henson]
563
564 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
565 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
566 application to support multiple signers.
567 [Steve Henson]
568
569 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
570 digest MAC.
571 [Steve Henson]
572
573 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
574 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
575 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
576 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
577 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
578 [Steve Henson]
579
580 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
581 new API.
582 [Steve Henson]
583
584 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
585 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
586 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
587 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
588 a no op.
589 [Steve Henson]
590
591 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
592 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
593 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
594 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
595 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
596 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
597 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
598 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
599 [Steve Henson]
600
601 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
602 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
603 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
604 between digests and public key types.
605 [Steve Henson]
606
607 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
608 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
609 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
610 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
611 [Steve Henson]
612
613 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
614 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
615 key ASN1 method.
616 [Steve Henson]
617
618 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
619 [Steve Henson]
620
621 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
622 pkeyutl.
623 [Steve Henson]
624
625 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
626 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
627 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
628 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
629 pkey, genpkey.
630 [Steve Henson]
631
632 *) BeOS support.
633 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
634
635 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
636 manual pages.
637 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
638
639 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
640 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
641 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
642 functionality for RSA.
643 [Steve Henson]
644
645 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
646 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
647 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
648 [Steve Henson]
649
650 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
651 key API, doesn't do much yet.
652 [Steve Henson]
653
654 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
655 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
656 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
657 [Steve Henson]
658
659 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
660 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
661 [Douglas Stebila]
662
663 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
664 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
665 [Steve Henson]
666
667 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
668 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
669 type.
670 [Steve Henson]
671
672 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
673 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
674 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
675 structure.
676 [Steve Henson]
677
678 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
679 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
680 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
681 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
682 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
683 of public and private key structures.
684 [Steve Henson]
685
686 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
687 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
688 [Douglas Stebila]
689
690 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
691 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
692 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
693
694 New ciphersuites:
695 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
696 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
697
698 New functions:
699 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
700 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
701 SSL_get_psk_identity
702 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
703
704 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
705
706 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
707 and response verification functionality.
708 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
709
710 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
711 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
712 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
713 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
714 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
715 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
716 server_name extension.
717
718 New functions (subject to change):
719
720 SSL_get_servername()
721 SSL_get_servername_type()
722 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
723
724 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
725
726 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
727 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
728 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
729 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
730 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
731
732 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
733
734 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
735 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
736 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
737 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
738 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
739 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
740 option.
741
742 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
743
744 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
745 [Andy Polyakov]
746
747 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
748 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
749 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
750 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
751 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
752 [Andy Polyakov]
753
754 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
755 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
756 macro.
757 [Bodo Moeller]
758
759 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
760 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
761 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
762 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
763 [Andy Polyakov]
764
765 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
766 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
767 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
768 using the maximum available value.
769 [Steve Henson]
770
771 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
772 in addition to the text details.
773 [Bodo Moeller]
774
775 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
776 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
777 handle several customised structures at all.
778 [Steve Henson]
779
780 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
781 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
782 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
783 [Steve Henson]
784
785 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
786 [Steve Henson]
787
788 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
789 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
790 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
791 [Steve Henson]
792
793 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
794 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
795 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
796 [Nils Larsch]
797
798 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
799 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
800 all fields.
801 [Steve Henson]
802
803 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
804 [Steve Henson]
805
806 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
807 [NTT]
808
809 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [xx XXX xxxx]
810
811 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
812 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
813 other than a simple chain.
814 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
815
816 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
817 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
818 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
819 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
820 [Steve Henson]
821
822 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
823 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
824 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
825 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
826 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
827 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
828 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
829 buffered.
830 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
831
832 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
833 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
834 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
835 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
836 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
837 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
838 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
839
840 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
841 parent structure is freed.
842 [Daniel Mentz]
843
844 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
845 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
846
847 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
848 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
849
850 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
851
852 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
853 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
854 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
855 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
856
857 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
858 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
859 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
860 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
861
862 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
863 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
864 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
865 [Steve Henson]
866
867 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
868 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
869 level.
870 [Steve Henson]
871
872 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
873 to handle some structures.
874 [Steve Henson]
875
876 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
877 for a '\n'
878 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
879
880 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
881 [Matthieu Herrb]
882
883 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
884 [Steve Henson]
885
886 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
887 [Steve Henson]
888
889 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
890 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
891 chosen compiler.
892 [Ben Laurie]
893
894 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
895
896 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
897 (CVE-2008-5077).
898 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
899
900 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
901 [Ben Laurie]
902
903 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
904 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
905 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
906 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
907
908 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
909 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
910
911 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
912 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
913 [Bodo Moeller]
914
915 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
916 s_client and s_server.
917 [Ben Laurie]
918
919 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
920 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
921
922 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
923 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
924
925 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
926 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
927 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
928 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
929 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
930 [Bodo Moeller]
931
932 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
933
934 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
935 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
936 [Nagendra Modadugu]
937
938 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
939 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
940 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
941 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
942
943 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
944 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
945
946 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
947
948 *) Various precautionary measures:
949
950 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
951
952 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
953 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
954 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
955
956 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
957 outside the expected range.
958
959 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
960 builds.
961
962 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
963
964 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
965 the load fails. Useful for distros.
966 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
967
968 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
969 [Steve Henson]
970
971 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
972 [Huang Ying]
973
974 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
975
976 This work was sponsored by Logica.
977 [Steve Henson]
978
979 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
980 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
981 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
982
983 This work was sponsored by Logica.
984 [Steve Henson]
985
986 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
987 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
988 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
989 files.
990 [Steve Henson]
991
992 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
993
994 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
995 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
996 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
997 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
998
999 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1000 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1001 [Joe Orton]
1002
1003 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1004
1005 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1006 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1007 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1008
1009 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1010
1011 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1012 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1013 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1014 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1015 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1016
1017 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1018 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1019 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1020 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1021 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1022 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1023 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1024
1025 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1026
1027 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1028 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1029 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1030 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1031 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1032
1033 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1034 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1035
1036 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1037 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1038 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1039 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1040 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1041
1042 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1043
1044 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1045 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1046 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1047 sets may exist with different names.
1048 [Steve Henson]
1049
1050 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1051 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1052 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1053 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1054 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1055 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1056 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1057 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1058 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1059 implementation.
1060 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1061
1062 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1063 implemention in the following ways:
1064
1065 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1066 hard coded.
1067
1068 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1069 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1070 ignored for embedded content.
1071
1072 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1073 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1074 [Steve Henson]
1075
1076 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1077 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1078 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1079 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1080
1081 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1082 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1083 [Steve Henson]
1084
1085 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1086 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1087 [Steve Henson]
1088
1089 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1090 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1091 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1092 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1093 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1094 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1095 data.
1096 [Steve Henson]
1097
1098 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1099 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1100 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1101
1102 *) Netware support:
1103
1104 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
1105 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
1106 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1107 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1108 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1109 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
1110 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
1111 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
1112 platform
1113 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
1114 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
1115 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
1116 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
1117 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
1118 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
1119 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1120
1121 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1122 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1123 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1124 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1125 to s_client and s_server.
1126 [Steve Henson]
1127
1128 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1129
1130 *) Fix various bugs:
1131 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1132 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1133 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1134 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1135 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1136
1137 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1138
1139 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1140 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1141 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1142 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1143 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1144 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1145 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1146 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1147 [Andy Polyakov]
1148
1149 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1150 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1151 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1152 Steve Henson]
1153
1154 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1155 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1156 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1157 supported.
1158
1159 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1160 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1161 SSL_SESSION.
1162
1163 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1164 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1165 with no application modification.
1166
1167 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1168 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1169
1170 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1171 or server extensions to be examined.
1172
1173 This work was sponsored by Google.
1174 [Steve Henson]
1175
1176 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1177 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1178 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1179 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1180 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1181 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1182 server_name extension.
1183
1184 New functions (subject to change):
1185
1186 SSL_get_servername()
1187 SSL_get_servername_type()
1188 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
1189
1190 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1191
1192 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1193 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1194 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1195 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1196 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1197
1198 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1199
1200 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1201 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1202 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1203 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1204 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1205 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1206 option.
1207
1208 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1209
1210 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1211 [Steve Henson]
1212
1213 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1214 [Andy Polyakov]
1215
1216 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1217 (which previously caused an internal error).
1218 [Bodo Moeller]
1219
1220 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1221 [Ben Laurie]
1222
1223 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1224 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1225
1226 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1227 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1228 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1229
1230 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1231 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1232 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1233 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1234
1235 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1236 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1237 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1238 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1239
1240 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1241 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1242 information. For detailed background information, see
1243 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1244 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1245 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1246 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1247 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1248 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1249 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1250 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1251 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1252 remove a conditional branch.
1253
1254 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1255 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1256 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1257 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1258 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1259 remains as a deprecated alias.
1260
1261 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1262 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1263 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1264 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1265
1266 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1267 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1268 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1269 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1270 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1271 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1272 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1273 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1274
1275 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1276
1277 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1278 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1279 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1280 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1281 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1282 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1283 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1284 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1285 in a different context.
1286 [Bodo Moeller]
1287
1288 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1289 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1290 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1291 [Bodo Moeller]
1292
1293 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1294 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1295 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1296
1297 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1298
1299 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1300 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1301 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1302 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1303 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1304 [Victor Duchovni]
1305
1306 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1307 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1308 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1309 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1310 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1311 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1312 [Bodo Moeller]
1313
1314 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1315 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1316 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1317 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1318 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1319 [Bodo Moeller]
1320
1321 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1322 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1323
1324 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1325 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1326 Improve header file function name parsing.
1327 [Steve Henson]
1328
1329 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1330 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1331 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
1332
1333 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1334
1335 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1336 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1337 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1338
1339 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1340 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1341
1342 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1343 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1344
1345 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1346 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1347 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1348
1349 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1350 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1351 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1352 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1353 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1354 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1355 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1356 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1357 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1358
1359 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1360 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1361 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1362 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1363 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1364
1365 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1366 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1367 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1368 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1369 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1370 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1371 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1372 multiple values to extend the available space.
1373
1374 [Bodo Moeller]
1375
1376 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1377
1378 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1379 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1380
1381 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1382 [Ben Laurie]
1383
1384 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1385 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1386 undesirable limitations.
1387 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1388
1389 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1390 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1391 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1392 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1393 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1394 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1395 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1396 [Bodo Moeller]
1397
1398 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1399
1400 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1401 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1402 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1403
1404 The latter two were purportedly from
1405 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1406 appear there.
1407
1408 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1409 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1410 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1411 [Bodo Moeller]
1412
1413 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1414 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1415 [Bodo Moeller]
1416
1417 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1418 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1419 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1420 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1421
1422 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1423 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1424 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1425 [NTT]
1426
1427 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1428 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1429 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1430 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1431 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1432 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1433 [Steve Henson]
1434
1435 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1436
1437 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1438 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1439 [Steve Henson]
1440
1441 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1442 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1443
1444 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1445 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1446 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1447 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1448 [Douglas Stebila]
1449
1450 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1451 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1452 [Steve Henson]
1453
1454 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1455 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1456 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1457 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1458 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1459 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1460 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1461 can't be loaded.
1462 [Steve Henson]
1463
1464 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1465 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1466 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1467 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1468 [Steve Henson]
1469
1470 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1471 under VC++ build system.
1472 [Steve Henson]
1473
1474 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1475 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1476 [Richard Levitte]
1477
1478 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1479
1480 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1481 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1482 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1483 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1484 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1485
1486 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1487 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1488 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1489
1490 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1491 [Steve Henson]
1492
1493 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1494 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1495 [Nils Larsch]
1496
1497 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1498 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1499
1500 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1501 [Nick Mathewson]
1502
1503 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1504 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1505
1506 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1507 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1508 [Steve Henson]
1509
1510 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1511 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1512 smime utility.
1513 [Steve Henson]
1514
1515 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1516
1517 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1518 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1519
1520 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1521 [Richard Levitte]
1522
1523 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1524 key into the same file any more.
1525 [Richard Levitte]
1526
1527 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1528 [Andy Polyakov]
1529
1530 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1531 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1532
1533 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1534 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1535 [Richard Levitte]
1536
1537 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1538 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1539 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1540 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1541 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1542 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1543
1544 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1545 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1546 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1547 [Steve Henson]
1548
1549 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1550 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1551 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1552 - add new function for parameter creation
1553 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1554 BN_BLINDING parameters
1555 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1556 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1557 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1558 threads.
1559 [Nils Larsch]
1560
1561 *) Add support for DTLS.
1562 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1563
1564 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1565 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1566 [Walter Goulet]
1567
1568 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1569 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1570 [Nils Larsch]
1571
1572 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1573 the apps/openssl applications.
1574 [Nils Larsch]
1575
1576 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1577 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1578 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1579 [Ben Laurie]
1580
1581 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1582 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1583
1584 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1585 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1586
1587 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1588 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1589 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1590 avoid this algorithm.)
1591
1592 [Bodo Moeller]
1593
1594 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1595 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1596 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1597 [Richard Levitte]
1598
1599 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1600 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1601 [Andy Polyakov]
1602
1603 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1604 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1605 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1606 pod file:
1607
1608 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1609
1610 The blank line is mandatory.
1611
1612 [Steve Henson]
1613
1614 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1615 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1616 sources.
1617 [Steve Henson]
1618
1619 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1620 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1621
1622 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1623 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1624 to support policy checking and print out.
1625 [Steve Henson]
1626
1627 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1628 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1629 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1630 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1631
1632 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1633 [Geoff Thorpe]
1634
1635 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1636 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1637
1638 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1639 implementation contributed by IBM.
1640 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1641
1642 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1643 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1644 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1645 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1646
1647 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1648 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1649
1650 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1651 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1652 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1653 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1654 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1655 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1656 [Steve Henson]
1657
1658 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1659 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1660 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1661 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1662 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1663 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1664 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1665 [Geoff Thorpe]
1666
1667 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1668 [Steve Henson]
1669
1670 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1671 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1672 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1673 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1674 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1675 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1676 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1677 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1678 [Steve Henson]
1679
1680 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1681 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1682 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1683 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1684 [Steve Henson]
1685
1686 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1687 syntax:
1688
1689 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1690 [Steve Henson]
1691
1692 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1693 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1694 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1695 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1696 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1697 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1698 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1699 [Geoff Thorpe]
1700
1701 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1702 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1703 [Geoff Thorpe]
1704
1705 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1706 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1707 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1708 [Steve Henson]
1709
1710 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1711 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1712 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1713 below).
1714 [Geoff Thorpe]
1715
1716 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1717 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1718 [Richard Levitte]
1719
1720 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1721 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1722 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1723 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1724 [Geoff Thorpe]
1725
1726 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1727 initialised value as BN_new().
1728 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1729
1730 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1731 [Steve Henson]
1732
1733 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1734 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1735 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1736 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1737 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1738 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1739 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1740 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1741 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1742 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1743 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1744 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1745 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1746 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1747 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1748
1749 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1750 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1751 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1752 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1753 [Geoff Thorpe]
1754
1755 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1756 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1757 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1758 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1759 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1760 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1761 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1762 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1763 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1764 [Geoff Thorpe]
1765
1766 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1767 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1768 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1769 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1770 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1771 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1772 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1773 [Geoff Thorpe]
1774
1775 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1776 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1777 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1778 these have been updated also.
1779 [Geoff Thorpe]
1780
1781 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1782 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1783 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1784 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1785 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1786 functions.
1787 [Steve Henson]
1788
1789 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1790 structure of type "other".
1791 [Steve Henson]
1792
1793 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1794 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1795 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1796 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1797 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1798 situation in the script.
1799 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1800
1801 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1802 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1803 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1804 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1805 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1806 used as premaster secret.
1807 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1808
1809 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1810 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1811 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1812
1813 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1814 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1815
1816 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1817 control of the error stack.
1818 [Richard Levitte]
1819
1820 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1821 [Richard Levitte]
1822
1823 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1824 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1825 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1826 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1827 [Richard Levitte]
1828
1829 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1830 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1831 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1832 [Richard Levitte]
1833
1834 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1835 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1836 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1837 a memory area.
1838 [Richard Levitte]
1839
1840 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1841 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1842 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1843 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1844 [Richard Levitte]
1845
1846 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1847 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1848 the following flags are defined:
1849
1850 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1851 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1852 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1853 number.
1854
1855 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1856 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1857 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1858 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1859 returns zero.
1860 [Richard Levitte]
1861
1862 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1863 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1864 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1865 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1866 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1867 [Richard Levitte]
1868
1869 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1870 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1871 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1872 [Richard Levitte]
1873
1874 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1875 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1876 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1877 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1878 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1879 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1880 [Richard Levitte]
1881
1882 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1883 req and dirName.
1884 [Steve Henson]
1885
1886 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1887 [Steve Henson]
1888
1889 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1890 [Steve Henson]
1891
1892 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1893 [Steve Henson]
1894
1895 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1896 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1897 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1898 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1899 default implementation more easily.
1900 [Geoff Thorpe]
1901
1902 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1903 in config files.
1904 [Steve Henson]
1905
1906 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1907 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1908 [Richard Levitte]
1909
1910 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1911 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1912 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1913 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1914
1915 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1916 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1917 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1918 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1919 [Steve Henson]
1920
1921 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1922 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1923 to do it.
1924 [Richard Levitte]
1925
1926 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1927 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1928 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1929 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1930 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1931 scalar * generator).
1932 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1933
1934 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1935 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1936 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1937 correctly.
1938 [Steve Henson]
1939
1940 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1941 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1942 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1943 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1944 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1945 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1946 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1947 linker additions, eg;
1948 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1949 [Geoff Thorpe]
1950
1951 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1952 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1953 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1954 [Geoff Thorpe]
1955
1956 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1957 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1958 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1959 via PR#459)
1960 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1961
1962 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1963 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1964 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1965 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1966 [Geoff Thorpe]
1967
1968 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1969 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1970 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1971 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1972 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1973 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1974 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1975 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1976 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1977 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1978
1979 Example for using the new callback interface:
1980
1981 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1982 void *my_arg = ...;
1983 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1984
1985 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1986
1987 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1988 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1989 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1990 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1991 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1992 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1993 */
1994
1995 [Geoff Thorpe]
1996
1997 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1998 available to TLS with the number defined in
1999 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2000 [Richard Levitte]
2001
2002 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2003 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2004
2005 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2006 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2007 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2008 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2009
2010 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2011 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2012
2013 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2014 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2015 well.
2016 [Richard Levitte]
2017
2018 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2019 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2020 [Richard Levitte]
2021
2022 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2023 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2024 and a macro that behave like
2025 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2026
2027 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2028 [Nils Larsch]
2029
2030 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2031 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2032 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2033 if applicable.
2034 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2035
2036 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2037 [Bodo Moeller]
2038
2039 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2040 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2041 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2042 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2043 directory engines/.
2044 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2045 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2046 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2047 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2048 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2049 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2050 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2051 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2052
2053 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2054 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2055 [Richard Levitte]
2056
2057 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2058 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2059
2060 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2061 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2062 files while avoiding the low level API.
2063
2064 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2065 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2066 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2067 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2068
2069 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2070 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2071 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2072 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2073 instead of the low level API.
2074 [Steve Henson]
2075
2076 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2077 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2078 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2079 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2080 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2081 PKCS#7 code.
2082
2083 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2084 down to the template encoder.
2085 [Steve Henson]
2086
2087 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2088 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2089 [Bodo Moeller]
2090
2091 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2092 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2093 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2094 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2095
2096 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2097 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2098
2099 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2100 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2101
2102 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2103 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2104 [Bodo Moeller]
2105
2106 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2107 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2108 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2109 [Bodo Moeller]
2110
2111 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2112 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2113
2114 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2115 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2116
2117 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2118 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2119 New EC_METHOD:
2120
2121 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2122
2123 New API functions:
2124
2125 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2126 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2127 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2128 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2129 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2130 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2131
2132 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2133 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2134 enable it).
2135
2136 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2137 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2138 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2139 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2140 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2141 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2142 various internal method names.)
2143
2144 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2145 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2146
2147 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2148 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2149
2150 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2151 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2152
2153 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2154 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2155 methods are undefined.
2156
2157 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2158 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2159
2160 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2161 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2162 length of the modulus.
2163
2164 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2165 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2166
2167 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2168 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2169
2170 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2171 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2172
2173 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2174 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2175 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2176
2177 BN_GF2m_add
2178 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2179 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2180 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2181 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2182 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
2183 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2184 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2185 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2186 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2187
2188 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2189 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2190
2191 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2192 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2193 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2194 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2195 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2196 where
2197 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2198 This applies to the following functions:
2199
2200 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
2201 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
2202 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
2203 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2204 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2205 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
2206 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2207 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2208 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
2209 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
2210
2211 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2212
2213 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
2214 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
2215
2216 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2217
2218 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2219 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2220 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2221 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2222 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2223
2224 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2225 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2226
2227 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2228 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2229 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2230
2231 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2232 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2233
2234 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2235 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2236 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2237 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2238 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2239
2240 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2241 functions
2242 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2243 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2244 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2245 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2246 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2247 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2248 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2249 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2250 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2251 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2252 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2253 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2254
2255 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2256 functions
2257 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
2258 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2259 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2260 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2261 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2262
2263 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2264 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2265 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2266 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2267
2268 *) Add functions
2269 EC_POINT_point2bn()
2270 EC_POINT_bn2point()
2271 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2272 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2273 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2274 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2275 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2276
2277 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2278 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2279 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2280 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2281 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2282 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2283 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2284 adding different types of curves.
2285 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2286
2287 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2288 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2289 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2290 [Bodo Moeller]
2291
2292 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2293 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2294
2295 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2296 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2297 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2298 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2299
2300 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2301
2302 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2303 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2304
2305 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2306 library. Most notably,
2307 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2308 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2309 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2310 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2311 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2312 extracted before the specific public key;
2313 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2314 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2315
2316 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2317 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2318 function
2319 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2320 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2321 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2322 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2323 accessed via
2324 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2325 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2326 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2327
2328 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2329 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2330 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2331 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2332 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2333 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2334 differing sizes.
2335 [Richard Levitte]
2336
2337 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2338
2339 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2340 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2341 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2342 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2343 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2344 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2345 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2346 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2347 in a different context.
2348 [Bodo Moeller]
2349
2350 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2351
2352 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2353 sensitive data.
2354 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2355
2356 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2357 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2358 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2359 [Bodo Moeller]
2360
2361 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2362 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2363 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2364 [Victor Duchovni]
2365
2366 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2367 [Steve Henson]
2368
2369 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2370 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2371 [Steve Henson]
2372
2373 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2374 run algorithm test programs.
2375 [Steve Henson]
2376
2377 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2378 [Steve Henson]
2379
2380 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2381 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2382 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2383 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2384 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2385 [Bodo Moeller]
2386
2387 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2388 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2389 [Steve Henson]
2390
2391 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2392
2393 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2394 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2395 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2396
2397 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2398 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2399
2400 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2401 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2402
2403 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2404 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2405 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2406
2407 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2408 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2409 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2410 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2411 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2412 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2413 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2414 [Bodo Moeller]
2415
2416 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2417
2418 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2419 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2420
2421 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2422 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2423 undesirable limitations.
2424 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2425
2426 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2427
2428 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2429 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2430 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2431
2432 The latter two were purportedly from
2433 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2434 appear there.
2435
2436 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2437 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2438 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2439 [Bodo Moeller]
2440
2441 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2442 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2443 [Bodo Moeller]
2444
2445 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2446
2447 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2448 module in FIPS mode.
2449 [Steve Henson]
2450
2451 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2452 [Steve Henson]
2453
2454 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2455 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2456 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2457 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2458 [Steve Henson]
2459
2460 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2461
2462 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2463 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2464 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2465 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2466 the difference induced by this change.
2467 [Andy Polyakov]
2468
2469 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2470
2471 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2472 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2473 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2474 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2475 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2476
2477 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2478 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2479 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2480
2481 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2482 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2483 [Steve Henson]
2484
2485 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2486 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2487 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2488 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2489 biased k.)
2490 [Bodo Moeller]
2491
2492 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2493 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2494 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2495 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2496 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2497
2498 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2499 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2500 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2501 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2502 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2503 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2504
2505 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2506
2507 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2508 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2509 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2510 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2511 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2512 [Bodo Moeller]
2513
2514 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2515 clients need.
2516 [Steve Henson]
2517
2518 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2519 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2520 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2521 [Steve Henson]
2522
2523 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2524 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2525 structures constant.
2526 [Steve Henson]
2527
2528 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2529
2530 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2531 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
2532
2533 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2534 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2535 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2536 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2537 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2538 some needed definitions.
2539 [Steve Henson]
2540
2541 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2542 [Ulf Möller]
2543
2544 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2545 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2546 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2547 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2548 [Richard Levitte]
2549
2550 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2551
2552 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2553 server and client random values. Previously
2554 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2555 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2556
2557 This change has negligible security impact because:
2558
2559 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2560 data.
2561
2562 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2563 handshake.
2564
2565 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2566 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2567 values.
2568
2569 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2570 to our attention.
2571
2572 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2573
2574 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2575 [Ulf Möller]
2576
2577 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2578 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2579 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2580
2581 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2582 [Steve Henson]
2583
2584 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2585 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2586 [Andy Polyakov]
2587
2588 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2589 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2590 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2591
2592 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2593 [Steve Henson]
2594
2595 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2596 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2597 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2598 certificates.
2599 [Steve Henson]
2600
2601 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2602 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2603 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2604 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2605
2606 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2607 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2608 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2609 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2610 been given)
2611 [Richard Levitte]
2612
2613 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2614
2615 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2616 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2617 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2618 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2619 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2620 [Steve Henson]
2621
2622 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2623 [Steve Henson]
2624
2625 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2626 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2627
2628 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2629 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2630 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2631 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2632 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2633 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2634 rather than being initialized to 1.
2635 [Steve Henson]
2636
2637 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2638
2639 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2640 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2641 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2642
2643 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2644 (CVE-2004-0112)
2645 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2646
2647 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2648 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2649 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2650 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2651 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2652 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2653 [Richard Levitte]
2654
2655 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2656 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2657 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2658 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2659 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2660 for these cases.
2661 [Steve Henson]
2662
2663 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2664 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2665 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2666 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2667 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2668 [Steve Henson]
2669
2670 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2671 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2672 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2673 < 0.9.7.
2674 [Steve Henson]
2675
2676 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2677 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2678
2679 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2680 [Steve Henson]
2681
2682 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2683
2684 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2685
2686 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2687 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2688
2689 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2690
2691 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2692 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2693
2694 [Steve Henson]
2695
2696 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2697 exiting on the first error in a request.
2698 [Steve Henson]
2699
2700 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2701 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2702 specifications.
2703 [Steve Henson]
2704
2705 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2706 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2707 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2708 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2709
2710 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2711 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2712 [Richard Levitte]
2713
2714 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2715 blocks during encryption.
2716 [Richard Levitte]
2717
2718 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2719 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2720 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2721 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2722 certain size.
2723 [Steve Henson]
2724
2725 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2726 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2727 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2728 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2729 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2730 parser.
2731 [Steve Henson]
2732
2733 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2734
2735 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2736 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2737 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2738 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2739 [Bodo Moeller]
2740
2741 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2742 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2743 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2744 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2745 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2746
2747 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2748 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2749 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2750 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2751 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2752 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2753 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2754 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2755 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2756 [Bodo Moeller]
2757
2758 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2759 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2760 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2761 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2762 [Geoff Thorpe]
2763
2764 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2765 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2766 [Ulf Moeller]
2767
2768 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2769
2770 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2771 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2772 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2773 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2774 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2775
2776 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2777 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2778 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2779
2780 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2781 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2782 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2783 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2784 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2785
2786 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2787 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2788 used by default when no-err is given.
2789 [Richard Levitte]
2790
2791 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2792 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2793
2794 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2795 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2796 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2797 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2798 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2799
2800 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2801 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2802 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2803 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2804
2805 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2806
2807 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2808
2809 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2810
2811 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2812 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2813 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2814 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2815 root is omitted).
2816 [Steve Henson]
2817
2818 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2819 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2820
2821 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2822 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2823 [Steve Henson]
2824
2825 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2826 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2827 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2828 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2829 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2830
2831 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2832 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2833 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2834 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2835 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2836 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2837 followup to PR #377.
2838 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2839
2840 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2841 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2842 [Andy Polyakov]
2843
2844 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2845 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2846 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2847 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2848
2849 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2850
2851 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2852 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
2853
2854 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2855 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2856 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2857 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2858 client and server.
2859 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2860 PR #377.
2861 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2862
2863 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2864 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2865 removed entirely.
2866 [Richard Levitte]
2867
2868 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2869 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2870 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2871 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2872 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2873 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2874 of libcrypto.
2875 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2876 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2877 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2878 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2879 have to be made anyway).
2880 [Richard Levitte]
2881
2882 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2883 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2884 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2885 [Steve Henson]
2886
2887 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2888 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2889 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2890 [Richard Levitte]
2891
2892 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2893 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2894 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2895
2896 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2897 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2898 edit numbers of the version.
2899 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2900
2901 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2902 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2903 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2904
2905 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2906 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2907
2908 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2909 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2910 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2911
2912 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2913 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2914
2915 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2916 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2917
2918 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2919 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2920
2921 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2922 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2923
2924 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2925 overflows.
2926 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2927
2928 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2929 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2930 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2931
2932 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2933 representations in a platform independent manner.
2934 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2935
2936 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2937 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2938 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2939
2940 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2941 indents.
2942 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2943
2944 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2945 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2946
2947 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2948 full. Fixed.
2949 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2950
2951 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2952 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2953 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2954
2955 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2956 unconditionally).
2957 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2958
2959 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2960 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2961
2962 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2963 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2964
2965 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2966 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2967
2968 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2969 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2970
2971 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2972 CBCParameter.
2973 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2974
2975 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2976 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2977
2978 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2979 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2980
2981 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2982 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2983 exploitable.
2984 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2985
2986 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2987 the 0.9.6 release series:
2988
2989 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2990 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2991 (CVE-2002-0657)
2992 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2993
2994 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2995 [Richard Levitte]
2996
2997 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2998 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2999
3000 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
3001 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
3002
3003 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3004 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3005 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3006 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3007
3008 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3009 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3010 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3011
3012 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3013 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3014 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3015 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3016
3017 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3018 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3019 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3020 some local tweaks:
3021
3022 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3023 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3024 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3025 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3026 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3027 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3028 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3029 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3030 done
3031
3032 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3033 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3034 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3035 [Richard Levitte]
3036
3037 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3038 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3039 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3040 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3041 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3042
3043 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3044 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3045
3046 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3047 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3048 [Richard Levitte]
3049
3050 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3051 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3052 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3053 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3054 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3055 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3056 [Steve Henson]
3057
3058 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3059 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3060 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3061 [Steve Henson]
3062
3063 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3064 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3065 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3066
3067 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3068 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3069 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3070 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3071 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3072 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3073 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3074 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3075
3076 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3077 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3078 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3079 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3080 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3081 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3082 [Steve Henson]
3083
3084 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3085 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3086 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3087 declaration has been changed from
3088 int (*cb)()
3089 into
3090 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3091 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3092 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3093 has been changed into
3094 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3095
3096 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3097 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3098 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3099
3100 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3101 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3102
3103 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3104 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3105 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3106 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3107 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3108 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3109 always load it have also been added.
3110 [Steve Henson]
3111
3112 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3113 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3114 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3115
3116 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3117
3118 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3119 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3120 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3121
3122 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3123 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3124 command line option can be used to specify an
3125 alternative file.
3126 [Steve Henson]
3127
3128 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3129 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3130 [Steve Henson]
3131
3132 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3133 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3134 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3135 [Steve Henson]
3136
3137 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3138 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3139 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3140 to work with the new engine framework.
3141 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3142
3143 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3144 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3145 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3146 to work with the new engine framework.
3147 [Richard Levitte]
3148
3149 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3150 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3151 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3152
3153 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3154 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3155
3156 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3157 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3158 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3159 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3160 FORMAT_IISSGC.
3161 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3162
3163 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3164 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3165
3166 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3167 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3168
3169 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3170 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3171 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3172 [Ben Laurie]
3173
3174 *) Add new functions
3175 ERR_peek_last_error
3176 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3177 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3178 These are similar to
3179 ERR_peek_error
3180 ERR_peek_error_line
3181 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3182 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3183 still in the error queue.
3184 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3185
3186 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3187 like:
3188 default_algorithms = ALL
3189 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3190 [Steve Henson]
3191
3192 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3193 [Steve Henson]
3194
3195 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3196 [Steve Henson]
3197
3198 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3199 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3200 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3201 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3202
3203 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3204 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3205
3206 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3207 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3208
3209 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3210 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3211 [Bodo Moeller]
3212
3213 *) New functions/macros
3214
3215 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3216 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3217 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3218 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3219
3220 to request calling a callback function
3221
3222 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3223 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3224
3225 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3226 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3227 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3228 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3229 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3230 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3231 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3232 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3233 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3234 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3235
3236 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3237 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3238 [Bodo Moeller]
3239
3240 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3241 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3242 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3243 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3244 the configuration scripts.
3245
3246 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3247 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3248 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3249
3250 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3251 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3252
3253 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3254 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3255 when reusing an existing buffer.
3256 [Bodo Moeller]
3257
3258 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3259 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3260 [Steve Henson]
3261
3262 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3263 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3264 [Ben Laurie]
3265
3266 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3267 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3268 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3269 has the same effect.
3270 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3271
3272 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3273 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3274 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3275 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3276 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3277 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3278 exception.
3279
3280 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3281 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3282 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3283 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3284
3285 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3286 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3287 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3288 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3289
3290 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3291 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3292 won't work.
3293
3294 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3295 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3296 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3297 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3298 default), and then completely removed.
3299 [Richard Levitte]
3300
3301 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3302 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3303 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3304 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3305 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3306 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3307 particular extension is supported.
3308 [Steve Henson]
3309
3310 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3311 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3312 [Steve Henson]
3313
3314 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3315 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3316 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3317 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3318 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3319 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3320 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3321 requires the destination to be valid.
3322
3323 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3324 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3325 [Steve Henson]
3326
3327 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3328 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3329 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3330 [Bodo Moeller]
3331
3332 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3333 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3334
3335 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3336 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3337 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3338 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3339 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3340 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3341 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3342 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3343 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3344 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3345 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3346 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3347 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3348 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3349 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3350 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3351 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3352 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3353 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3354 the new code.
3355 [Geoff Thorpe]
3356
3357 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3358 [Steve Henson]
3359
3360 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3361 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3362 become part of libeay.num as well.
3363 [Richard Levitte]
3364
3365 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3366 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3367 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3368 false once a handshake has been completed.
3369 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3370 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3371 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3372 client has followed the request.)
3373 [Bodo Moeller]
3374
3375 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3376 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3377 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3378 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3379
3380 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3381 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3382 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3383 [Bodo Moeller]
3384
3385 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3386 [Steve Henson]
3387
3388 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3389 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3390 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3391 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3392
3393 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3394 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3395 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3396
3397 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3398 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3399 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3400 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3401 [Geoff Thorpe]
3402
3403 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3404 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3405 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3406 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3407 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3408 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3409 [Geoff Thorpe]
3410
3411 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3412 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3413 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3414 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3415 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3416 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3417 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3418 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3419 [Geoff Thorpe]
3420
3421 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3422 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3423 [Geoff Thorpe]
3424
3425 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3426 [Ben Laurie]
3427
3428 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3429 md_data void pointer.
3430 [Ben Laurie]
3431
3432 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3433 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3434 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3435 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3436 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3437 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3438 [Ben Laurie]
3439
3440 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3441 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3442 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3443 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3444 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3445 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3446 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3447 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3448 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3449 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3450 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3451 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3452 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3453 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3454 rather than letting it slide.
3455
3456 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3457 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3458 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3459 [Geoff Thorpe]
3460
3461 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3462 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3463 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3464 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3465 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3466 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3467 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3468 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3469 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3470 [Geoff Thorpe]
3471
3472 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3473 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3474 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3475 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3476 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3477
3478 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3479 [Geoff Thorpe]
3480
3481 *) Add EVP test program.
3482 [Ben Laurie]
3483
3484 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3485 [Ben Laurie]
3486
3487 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3488 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3489 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3490 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3491 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3492 [Steve Henson]
3493
3494 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3495 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3496 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3497 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3498 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3499 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3500 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3501
3502 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3503 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3504 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3505 Usage example:
3506
3507 EVP_MD_CTX md;
3508
3509 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3510 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3511 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3512 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3513 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3514
3515 [Ben Laurie]
3516
3517 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3518 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3519 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3520 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3521 anyway): E.g.,
3522
3523 des_key_schedule ks;
3524
3525 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3526 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3527
3528 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3529 [Ben Laurie]
3530
3531 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3532 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3533 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3534 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3535 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3536 functions prevents this.
3537 [Steve Henson]
3538
3539 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3540 [Ben Laurie]
3541
3542 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3543 correct _ecb suffix.
3544 [Ben Laurie]
3545
3546 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3547 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3548 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3549 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3550 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3551 [Steve Henson]
3552
3553 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3554 [Richard Levitte]
3555
3556 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3557 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3558 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3559 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3560
3561 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3562 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3563
3564 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3565 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3566 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3567 via Richard Levitte]
3568
3569 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3570 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3571 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3572 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3573 [Geoff Thorpe]
3574
3575 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3576 Before:
3577 encrypt
3578 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3579 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
3580 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
3581 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
3582 decrypt
3583 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
3584 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
3585 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
3586 After:
3587 encrypt
3588 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
3589 decrypt
3590 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
3591 [Ben Laurie]
3592
3593 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3594 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3595
3596 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3597 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3598 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3599 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3600 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3601 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3602 [Steve Henson]
3603
3604 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3605 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3606 [Richard Levitte]
3607
3608 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3609 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3610 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3611 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3612
3613 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3614 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3615 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3616 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3617 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3618 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3619 callback.
3620 [Richard Levitte]
3621
3622 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3623 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3624 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3625 and interrupts/cancellations.
3626 [Richard Levitte]
3627
3628 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3629 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3630 [Steve Henson]
3631
3632 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3633 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3634 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3635
3636 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3637 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3638 kind of callback.
3639 [Richard Levitte]
3640
3641 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3642 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3643 than this minimum value is recommended.
3644 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3645
3646 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3647 that are easily reachable.
3648 [Richard Levitte]
3649
3650 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3651 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3652
3653 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3654
3655 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3656 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3657 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3658 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3659 [Steve Henson]
3660
3661 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3662 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3663 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3664 [Steve Henson]
3665
3666 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3667 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3668 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3669 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3670 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3671 internally such as S/MIME.
3672
3673 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3674 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3675 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3676
3677 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3678 applications.
3679 [Steve Henson]
3680
3681 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3682 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3683 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3684 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3685
3686 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3687
3688 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3689
3690 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3691 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3692 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3693 handling.
3694 [Steve Henson]
3695
3696 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3697 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3698 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3699 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3700 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3701 a window system and the like.
3702 [Richard Levitte]
3703
3704 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3705 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3706 [Geoff]
3707
3708 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3709 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3710 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3711 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3712 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3713 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3714 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3715 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3716 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3717 ENGINE structure.
3718 [Geoff]
3719
3720 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3721 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3722 tag cache.
3723 [Steve Henson]
3724
3725 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3726 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3727 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3728 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3729 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3730 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3731 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3732 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3733 [Geoff]
3734
3735 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3736 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3737 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3738 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3739 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3740 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3741 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3742 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3743 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3744 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3745 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3746 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3747 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3748 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3749 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3750 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3751 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3752 [Geoff]
3753
3754 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3755 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3756 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3757 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3758 internal engine_int.h header.
3759 [Geoff]
3760
3761 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3762 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3763 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3764 modify their own ones).
3765 [Geoff]
3766
3767 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3768 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3769 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3770 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3771 later on via ctrl() commands.
3772 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3773 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3774 structural references.
3775 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3776 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3777 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3778 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3779 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3780 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3781 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3782 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3783 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3784 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3785 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3786 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3787 [Geoff]
3788
3789 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3790 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3791 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3792 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3793 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3794 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3795 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3796 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3797 [Bodo Moeller]
3798
3799 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3800 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3801 [Steve Henson]
3802
3803 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3804 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3805 [Steve Henson]
3806
3807 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3808 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3809 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3810 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3811 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3812 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3813 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3814 [Steve Henson]
3815
3816 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3817 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3818 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3819 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3820 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3821
3822 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3823 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3824 generator).
3825 [Bodo Moeller]
3826
3827 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3828
3829 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3830 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3831 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3832
3833 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3834 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3835
3836 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3837 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3838 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3839
3840 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3841 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3842
3843 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3844 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3845
3846 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3847
3848 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3849 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3850 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3851 [Bodo Moeller]
3852
3853 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3854 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3855 [Richard Levitte]
3856
3857 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3858 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3859 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3860 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3861 is 40 of more characters long.
3862 [Steve Henson]
3863
3864 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3865 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3866 pointers.
3867 [Steve Henson]
3868
3869 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3870 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3871 [Bodo Moeller]
3872
3873 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3874 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3875 might.
3876 [Steve Henson]
3877
3878 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3879
3880 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3881 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3882
3883 ASN1 error codes
3884 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3885 ...
3886 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3887 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3888 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3889 ...
3890 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3891 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3892
3893 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3894 [Bodo Moeller]
3895
3896 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3897 suffices.
3898 [Bodo Moeller]
3899
3900 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3901 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3902 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3903 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3904 and
3905 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3906
3907 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3908 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3909
3910 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3911 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3912 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3913 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3914 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3915 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3916
3917 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3918 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3919
3920 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3921 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3922
3923 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3924 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3925
3926 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3927 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3928 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3929 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3930
3931 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3932 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3933
3934 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3935 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3936
3937 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3938 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3939 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3940 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3941 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3942 [Richard Levitte]
3943
3944 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3945 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3946 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3947 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3948 [Steve Henson]
3949
3950 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3951 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3952 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3953 trust settings.
3954 [Steve Henson]
3955
3956 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3957 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3958 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3959 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3960 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3961 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3962 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3963 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3964 ocsp utility.
3965 [Steve Henson]
3966
3967 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3968 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3969 [Steve Henson]
3970
3971 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3972 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3973 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3974 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3975 [Steve Henson]
3976
3977 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3978 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3979 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3980 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3981 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3982 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3983 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3984 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3985 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3986 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3987 [Steve Henson]
3988
3989 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3990 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3991 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3992 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3993 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3994 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3995 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3996 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3997
3998 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3999 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4000 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4001 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4002 [Richard Levitte]
4003
4004 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4005 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4006 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4007 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4008 opensslconf.h.
4009 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4010 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4011 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4012 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4013 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4014 what is available.
4015 [Richard Levitte]
4016
4017 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4018 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4019 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4020 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4021 auto incremented.
4022 [Steve Henson]
4023
4024 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4025 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4026 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4027 [Steve Henson]
4028
4029 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4030 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4031 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4032 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4033 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4034 [Steve Henson]
4035
4036 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4037 [Steve Henson]
4038
4039 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4040 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4041 option to ocsp utility.
4042 [Steve Henson]
4043
4044 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4045 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4046 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4047 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4048 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4049 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4050 the request is nonce-less.
4051 [Steve Henson]
4052
4053 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4054 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4055 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4056 [Bodo Moeller]
4057
4058 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4059 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4060 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4061 [Steve Henson]
4062
4063 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4064 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4065 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4066 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4067 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4068 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4069
4070 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4071 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4072 appear to exist.
4073 [Steve Henson]
4074
4075 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4076 additional certificates supplied.
4077 [Steve Henson]
4078
4079 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4080 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4081 signature against.
4082 [Richard Levitte]
4083
4084 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4085 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4086 AES OIDs.
4087
4088 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4089 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4090 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4091 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4092 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4093 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4094 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4095 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4096 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4097
4098 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4099 request to response.
4100 [Steve Henson]
4101
4102 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4103 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4104 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4105 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4106 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4107 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4108 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4109 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4110 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4111 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4112 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4113 [Steve Henson]
4114
4115 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4116 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4117 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4118 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4119 [Steve Henson]
4120
4121 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4122 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4123
4124 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4125 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4126 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4127 [Steve Henson]
4128
4129 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4130 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4131 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4132 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4133 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4134
4135 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4136 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4137 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4138 [Steve Henson]
4139
4140 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4141 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4142 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4143 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4144 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4145 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4146 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4147 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4148
4149 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4150 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4151 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4152 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4153 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4154 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4155 [Steve Henson]
4156
4157 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4158 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4159 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4160 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4161 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4162 printout format cleaned up.
4163 [Steve Henson]
4164
4165 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4166 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4167 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4168 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4169 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4170 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4171 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4172 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4173 [Steve Henson]
4174
4175 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4176 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4177 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4178 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4179 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4180 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4181 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4182 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4183 [Steve Henson]
4184
4185 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4186 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4187 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4188 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4189 section to use.
4190 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4191
4192 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4193 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4194 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4195 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4196 [Steve Henson]
4197
4198 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4199 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4200 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4201 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4202 in the index file.
4203 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4204
4205 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4206 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4207 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4208 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4209
4210 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4211 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4212
4213 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4214 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4215 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4216 [Steve Henson]
4217
4218 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4219 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4220 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4221 [Bodo Moeller]
4222
4223 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4224 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4225 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4226 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4227 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4228 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4229 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4230 functions are provided:
4231
4232 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4233 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4234 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4235 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4236
4237 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4238 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4239 extended allocation function is enabled.
4240 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4241 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4242 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4243
4244 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4245 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4246 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4247 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4248 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4249 [Geoff Thorpe]
4250
4251 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4252 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4253 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4254 be queried.
4255 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4256 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4257 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4258 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4259
4260 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4261 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4262 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4263 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4264 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4265 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4266 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4267 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4268 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4269 [Richard Levitte]
4270
4271 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4272 provide utility functions which an application needing
4273 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4274 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4275 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4276
4277 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4278 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4279 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4280 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4281 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4282 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4283 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4284 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4285 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4286
4287 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4288 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4289 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4290 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4291 [Steve Henson]
4292
4293 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4294 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4295 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4296 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4297 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4298 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4299 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4300 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4301 will be added elsewhere.
4302 [Steve Henson]
4303
4304 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4305 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4306 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4307 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4308 [Steve Henson]
4309
4310 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4311 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4312 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4313 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4314 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4315 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4316 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4317 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4318 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4319 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4320 to produce the required SET OF.
4321 [Steve Henson]
4322
4323 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4324 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4325 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4326 [Richard Levitte]
4327
4328 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4329 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4330 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4331 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4332 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4333 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4334 [Steve Henson]
4335
4336 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4337 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4338 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4339 [Steve Henson]
4340
4341 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4342 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4343 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4344 [Richard Levitte]
4345
4346 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4347 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4348 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4349 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4350 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4351 [Steve Henson]
4352
4353 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4354 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4355 [Steve Henson]
4356
4357 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4358 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4359 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4360 certifcates and CRLs.
4361 [Steve Henson]
4362
4363 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4364 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4365 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4366 [Steve Henson]
4367
4368 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4369 entries for variables.
4370 [Steve Henson]
4371
4372 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4373 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4374 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4375 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4376 [Bodo Moeller]
4377
4378 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4379 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4380 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4381 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4382 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4383 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4384 [Bodo Moeller]
4385
4386 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4387 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4388
4389 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4390 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4391 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4392 [Steve Henson]
4393
4394 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4395 print routines.
4396 [Steve Henson]
4397
4398 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4399 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4400 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4401 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4402 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4403 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4404 [Steve Henson]
4405
4406 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4407 [Steve Henson]
4408
4409 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4410 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4411 for now but they will eventually go away.
4412 [Steve Henson]
4413
4414 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4415 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4416 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4417 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4418 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4419 has also been converted to the new form.
4420 [Steve Henson]
4421
4422 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4423 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4424 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4425 for negative moduli.
4426 [Bodo Moeller]
4427
4428 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4429 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4430 [Bodo Moeller]
4431
4432 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4433 set.
4434 [Bodo Moeller]
4435
4436 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4437 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4438 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4439 type-specific callbacks.
4440 [Geoff Thorpe]
4441
4442 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4443 RFC 2712.
4444 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4445 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4446
4447 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4448 in sections depending on the subject.
4449 [Richard Levitte]
4450
4451 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4452 Windows.
4453 [Richard Levitte]
4454
4455 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4456 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4457 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4458 be handled deterministically).
4459 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4460
4461 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4462 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4463 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4464 [Bodo Moeller]
4465
4466 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4467 [Bodo Moeller]
4468
4469 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4470 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4471 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4472 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4473 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4474 [Bodo Moeller]
4475
4476 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4477 sign of the number in question.
4478
4479 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4480
4481 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4482 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4483 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4484 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4485 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4486 [Bodo Moeller]
4487
4488 *) New function BN_swap.
4489 [Bodo Moeller]
4490
4491 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4492 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4493 results on negative inputs.
4494 [Bodo Moeller]
4495
4496 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4497 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4498 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4499 [Bodo Moeller]
4500
4501 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4502 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4503 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4504 and add new functions:
4505
4506 BN_nnmod
4507 BN_mod_sqr
4508 BN_mod_add
4509 BN_mod_add_quick
4510 BN_mod_sub
4511 BN_mod_sub_quick
4512 BN_mod_lshift1
4513 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4514 BN_mod_lshift
4515 BN_mod_lshift_quick
4516
4517 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4518
4519 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4520 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4521
4522 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4523 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4524 be reduced modulo m.
4525 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4526
4527 #if 0
4528 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4529 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4530 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4531
4532 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4533 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4534 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4535 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4536 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4537 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4538 differing sizes.
4539 [Richard Levitte]
4540 #endif
4541
4542 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4543 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4544 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4545 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4546 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4547
4548 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4549 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4550 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4551 cause any problems.
4552 [Bodo Moeller]
4553
4554 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4555 [Richard Levitte]
4556
4557 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4558 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4559 [Richard Levitte]
4560
4561 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4562 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4563 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4564 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4565 time)
4566 [Richard Levitte]
4567
4568 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4569 [Richard Levitte]
4570
4571 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4572 [Richard Levitte]
4573
4574 *) Add the following functions:
4575
4576 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4577 ENGINE_load_chil()
4578 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4579 ENGINE_load_nuron()
4580 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4581
4582 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4583 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4584 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4585 libraries unless it's really needed.
4586
4587 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4588 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4589 declarations (they differed!).
4590 [Richard Levitte]
4591
4592 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4593 [Richard Levitte]
4594
4595 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4596 [Richard Levitte]
4597
4598 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4599 [Bodo Moeller]
4600
4601 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4602 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4603 [Richard Levitte]
4604
4605 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4606 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4607 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4608
4609 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4610 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4611 [Richard Levitte]
4612
4613 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4614 [Richard Levitte]
4615
4616 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4617 [Richard Levitte]
4618
4619 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4620 [Ben Laurie]
4621
4622 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4623 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4624 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4625
4626 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4627 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4628 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4629 different shared library filenames on each system.
4630 [Geoff Thorpe]
4631
4632 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4633 [Richard Levitte]
4634
4635 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4636 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4637 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4638 of two sections.
4639 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4640
4641 *) NCONF changes.
4642 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4643 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4644 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4645 binary backward compatibility.
4646 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4647 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4648 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4649 LDAP server.
4650 [Richard Levitte]
4651
4652 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4653 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4654 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4655 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4656 this case.
4657 [Steve Henson]
4658
4659 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4660 [Ben Laurie]
4661
4662 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4663 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4664 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4665 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4666 set.
4667 [Steve Henson]
4668
4669 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4670 [Richard Levitte]
4671
4672 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4673
4674 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4675 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4676 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4677
4678 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4679
4680 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4681
4682 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4683 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4684 [Steve Henson]
4685
4686 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4687
4688 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4689
4690 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4691 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4692
4693 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4694 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4695
4696 [Steve Henson]
4697
4698 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4699 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4700 specifications.
4701 [Steve Henson]
4702
4703 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4704 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4705 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4706 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4707
4708 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4709 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4710 [Richard Levitte]
4711
4712 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4713
4714 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4715 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4716 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4717 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4718 [Bodo Moeller]
4719
4720 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4721 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4722 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4723 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4724 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4725
4726 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4727 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4728 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4729 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4730 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4731 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4732 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4733 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4734 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4735 [Bodo Moeller]
4736
4737 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4738
4739 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4740 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4741 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4742 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4743 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4744
4745 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4746 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4747 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4748
4749 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4750
4751 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4752 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4753 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4754 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4755 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4756 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4757 [Geoff Thorpe]
4758
4759 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4760 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4761 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4762 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4763 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4764 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4765
4766 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4767 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4768 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4769
4770 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4771 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4772 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4773 EVP_cleanup().
4774 [Richard Levitte]
4775
4776 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4777 being properly terminated.
4778 [Richard Levitte]
4779
4780 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4781 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4782 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4783 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4784
4785 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4786 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4787 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4788 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4789 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4790 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4791 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4792 change.
4793 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4794
4795 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4796 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4797 [Bodo Moeller]
4798
4799 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4800 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4801 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4802 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4803 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4804 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4805 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4806 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4807
4808 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4809 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4810 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4811 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4812 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4813
4814 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4815 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4816 [Steve Henson]
4817
4818 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4819
4820 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4821 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4822 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4823
4824 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4825
4826 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4827 and get fix the header length calculation.
4828 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4829 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4830 Steve Henson]
4831
4832 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4833 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4834 assertions could call abort()).
4835 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4836
4837 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4838
4839 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4840 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4841 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4842 supplied buffer.
4843 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4844
4845 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4846 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4847 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4848 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4849
4850 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4851 [Nils Larsch]
4852
4853 *) New option
4854 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4855 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4856 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4857
4858 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4859 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4860 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4861 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4862 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4863 applications.
4864 [Bodo Moeller]
4865
4866 *) Changes in security patch:
4867
4868 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4869 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4870 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4871 F30602-01-2-0537.
4872
4873 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4874 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4875 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4876 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4877 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4878
4879 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4880 happen in practice.
4881 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4882
4883 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4884 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4885 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4886
4887 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4888 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4889 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4890
4891 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4892 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4893 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4894
4895 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4896
4897 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4898 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4899 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4900
4901 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4902 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4903
4904 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4905 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4906 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4907 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4908 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4909 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4910 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4911
4912 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4913 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4914 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4915 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4916 [Bodo Moeller]
4917
4918 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4919 [Bodo Moeller]
4920
4921 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4922 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4923 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4924 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4925 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4926 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4927
4928 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4929 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4930 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4931 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4932 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4933 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4934
4935 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4936 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4937 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4938 BN_generate_prime().)
4939
4940 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4941 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4942 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4943 better.
4944 [Bodo Moeller]
4945
4946 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4947 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4948 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4949
4950 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4951 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4952 when using non-blocking I/O.
4953 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4954
4955 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4956 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4957
4958 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4959 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4960 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4961
4962 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4963 configuration for the versions before that.
4964 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4965
4966 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4967 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4968 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4969 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4970 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4971
4972 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4973 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4974 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4975 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4976
4977 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4978 value is 0.
4979 [Richard Levitte]
4980
4981 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4982 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4983 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4984
4985 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4986 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4987
4988 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4989 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4990 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4991 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4992 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4993 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4994 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4995 session cache.
4996
4997 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4998 using a local variable.
4999 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5000
5001 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5002 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5003 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5004
5005 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5006 [Richard Levitte]
5007
5008 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5009 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5010
5011 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5012 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5013 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5014
5015 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5016
5017 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5018 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5019 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5020 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5021 [Bodo Moeller]
5022
5023 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5024 present.
5025 [Steve Henson]
5026
5027 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5028 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5029 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5030 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5031 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5032
5033 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5034 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5035 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5036
5037 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5038 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5039 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5040
5041 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5042 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5043 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5044 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5045
5046 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5047 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5048 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5049 modules).
5050 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5051
5052 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5053 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5054 from 0.9.7.
5055 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5056
5057 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5058 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5059 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5060 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5061
5062 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5063 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5064 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5065 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5066
5067 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5068 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5069
5070 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5071 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5072 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5073 [Bodo Moeller]
5074
5075 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5076 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5077 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5078 become invalid.
5079 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5080
5081 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5082 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5083 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5084 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5085 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5086 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5087 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5088 [Bodo Moeller]
5089
5090 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5091 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5092 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5093 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5094
5095 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5096 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5097 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5098 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5099 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5100 the client will at least see that alert.
5101 [Bodo Moeller]
5102
5103 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5104 correctly.
5105 [Bodo Moeller]
5106
5107 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5108 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5109 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5110
5111 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5112 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5113 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5114 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5115 HelloRequest.
5116
5117 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5118 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5119 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5120
5121 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5122 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5123 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5124 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5125 may leak via logfiles.)
5126
5127 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5128 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5129 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5130 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5131 the legal range.
5132 [Bodo Moeller]
5133
5134 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5135 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5136 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5137
5138 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5139 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5140 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5141 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5142 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5143 [Bodo Moeller]
5144
5145 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5146 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5147
5148 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5149 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5150 followed by modular reduction.
5151 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5152
5153 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5154 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5155 [Bodo Moeller]
5156
5157 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5158 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5159 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5160 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5161 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5162
5163 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5164 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5165
5166 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5167 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5168 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5169
5170 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5171 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5172 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5173 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5174 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5175 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5176 automatically.
5177 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5178
5179 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5180 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5181 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5182 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5183 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5184
5185 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5186 [Andy Polyakov]
5187
5188 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5189 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5190 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5191 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5192 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5193 to allow the necessary settings.
5194 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5195
5196 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5197 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5198 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5199 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5200 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5201
5202 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5203 dh->length and always used
5204
5205 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5206
5207 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5208 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5209 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5210 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5211 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5212 dh->length.
5213
5214 So switch back to
5215
5216 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5217
5218 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5219 otherwise.
5220 [Bodo Moeller]
5221
5222 *) In
5223
5224 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5225 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5226 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5227 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5228
5229 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5230 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5231 always reject numbers >= n.
5232 [Bodo Moeller]
5233
5234 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5235 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5236 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5237 variable) is not atomic.
5238 [Bodo Moeller]
5239
5240 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5241 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5242 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5243 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5244
5245 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5246 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5247
5248 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5249 little-endian MIPS.
5250 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5251
5252 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5253 [Richard Levitte]
5254
5255 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5256
5257 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5258 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5259 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5260 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5261 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5262 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5263 to traverse all of 'state'.
5264
5265 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5266 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5267 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5268
5269 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5270 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5271
5272 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5273 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5274 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5275 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5276 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5277 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5278 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5279 further strengthens the PRNG.
5280 [Bodo Moeller]
5281
5282 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5283 [Andy Polyakov]
5284
5285 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5286 an error message in this case.
5287 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5288
5289 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5290 [Steve Henson]
5291
5292 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5293 positive and less than q.
5294 [Bodo Moeller]
5295
5296 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5297 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5298 that itself.
5299 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5300
5301 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5302 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5303 [Bodo Moeller]
5304
5305 *) Fix OAEP check.
5306 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5307
5308 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5309 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5310 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5311 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5312 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5313 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5314 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5315 paper.)
5316
5317 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5318 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5319 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5320 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5321
5322 Both problems are now fixed.
5323 [Bodo Moeller]
5324
5325 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5326 (previously it was 1024).
5327 [Bodo Moeller]
5328
5329 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5330 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5331 [Steve Henson]
5332
5333 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5334 [Steve Henson]
5335
5336 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5337 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5338 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5339 [Steve Henson]
5340
5341 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5342 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5343 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5344 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5345 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5346 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5347 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5348 environment variables.
5349
5350 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5351 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5352 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5353 [Bodo Moeller]
5354
5355 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5356 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5357 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5358 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5359 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5360 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5361 [Bodo Moeller]
5362
5363 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5364 versions of 'test'.
5365 [Bodo Moeller]
5366
5367 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5368
5369 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5370 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5371
5372 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5373 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5374 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5375 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5376 CygWin.
5377 [Richard Levitte]
5378
5379 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5380 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5381 amount of data available.
5382 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5383 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5384
5385 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5386 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5387 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5388 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5389 [Bodo Moeller]
5390
5391 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5392 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5393 and UnixWare.
5394 [Richard Levitte]
5395
5396 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5397 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5398 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5399 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5400 [Ulf Moeller]
5401
5402 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5403 [Andy Polyakov]
5404
5405 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5406 [Richard Levitte]
5407
5408 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5409 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5410 [Steve Henson]
5411 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5412
5413 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5414 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5415 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5416 (but broken) behaviour.
5417 [Steve Henson]
5418
5419 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5420 it when found.
5421 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5422
5423 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5424 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5425 [Bodo Moeller]
5426
5427 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5428 did not exist.
5429 [Bodo Moeller]
5430
5431 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5432 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5433
5434 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5435 [Richard Levitte]
5436
5437 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5438 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5439 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5440
5441 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5442 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5443 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5444 [Steve Henson]
5445
5446 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5447 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5448 [Ulf Moeller]
5449
5450 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5451 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5452
5453 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5454
5455 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5456
5457 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5458 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5459 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5460 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5461 [Bodo Moeller]
5462
5463 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5464 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5465
5466 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5467 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5468 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5469
5470 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5471 was empty.
5472 [Steve Henson]
5473 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5474
5475 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5476 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5477 but the code is actually correct.
5478 [Steve Henson]
5479
5480 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5481 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5482 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5483 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5484 and leaves the highest bit random.
5485 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5486
5487 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5488 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5489 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5490 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5491 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5492 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5493 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5494 [Bodo Moeller]
5495
5496 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5497 [Ulf Moeller]
5498
5499 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5500 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5501 [Steve Henson]
5502
5503 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5504 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5505 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5506 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5507 headers.
5508 [Richard Levitte]
5509
5510 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5511 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5512 and break the signature.
5513 [Steve Henson]
5514 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5515
5516 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5517 DH ciphersuites.
5518 [Steve Henson]
5519
5520 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5521 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5522 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5523 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5524 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5525 [Bodo Moeller]
5526
5527 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5528 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5529
5530 *) ./config script fixes.
5531 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5532
5533 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5534 [Bodo Moeller]
5535
5536 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5537 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5538 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5539 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5540 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5541
5542 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5543 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5544 [Bodo Moeller]
5545
5546 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5547 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5548 [Steve Henson]
5549
5550 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5551 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5552 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5553 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5554
5555 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5556 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5557
5558 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5559 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5560 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5561 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5562 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5563
5564 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5565 [Bodo Moeller]
5566
5567 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5568 [Ulf Möller]
5569
5570 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5571 [Ulf Möller]
5572
5573 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5574 [Bodo Moeller]
5575
5576 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5577 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5578 [Bodo Moeller]
5579
5580 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5581 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5582 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5583 result of the server certificate verification.)
5584 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5585
5586 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5587 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5588 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5589 [Bodo Moeller]
5590
5591 *) Fix SSL_peek:
5592 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5593 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5594 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5595 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5596 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5597 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5598 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5599 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5600 [Bodo Moeller]
5601
5602 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5603 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5604 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5605 happening the other way round.
5606 [Geoff Thorpe]
5607
5608 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5609 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5610 [Bodo Moeller]
5611
5612 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5613 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5614 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5615 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5616 [Richard Levitte]
5617
5618 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5619 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5620
5621 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5622
5623 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5624 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5625 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5626 that.
5627
5628 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5629
5630 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5631
5632 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5633 static ones.
5634 [Richard Levitte]
5635
5636 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5637
5638 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5639 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5640 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5641 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5642 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5643
5644 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5645 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5646 matter what.
5647 [Richard Levitte]
5648
5649 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5650 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5651
5652 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5653
5654 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5655 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5656 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5657 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5658 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5659 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5660 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5661 by the Finished messages.
5662 [Bodo Moeller]
5663
5664 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5665 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5666
5667 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5668 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5669 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5670 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5671 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5672 appropriately.
5673 [Steve Henson]
5674
5675 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5676 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5677 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5678 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5679 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5680 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5681 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5682 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5683 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5684 together.
5685 [Steve Henson]
5686
5687 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5688 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5689 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5690 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5691
5692 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5693 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5694 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5695 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5696 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5697 the answer.
5698
5699 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5700 been tested well enough.
5701 [Richard Levitte]
5702
5703 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5704 it can return incorrect results.
5705 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5706 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5707 [Bodo Moeller]
5708
5709 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5710 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5711 include zero length content when signing messages.
5712 [Steve Henson]
5713
5714 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5715 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5716 [Bodo Möller]
5717
5718 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5719 [Richard Levitte]
5720
5721 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5722 wrong sign.
5723 [Ulf Möller]
5724
5725 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5726 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5727 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5728 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5729 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5730 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5731 [Richard Levitte]
5732
5733 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5734 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5735
5736 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5737 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5738
5739 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5740 random number < q in the DSA library.
5741 [Ulf Möller]
5742
5743 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5744 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5745 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5746 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5747 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5748 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5749 just makes things more complicated.)
5750 [Bodo Moeller]
5751
5752 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5753 from EGD.
5754 [Ben Laurie]
5755
5756 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5757 work better on such systems.
5758 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5759
5760 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5761 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5762 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5763 [Steve Henson]
5764
5765 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5766 if there was more than one signature.
5767 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5768
5769 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5770 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5771 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5772 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5773 [Richard Levitte]
5774
5775 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5776 rather than always using the current time.
5777 [Steve Henson]
5778
5779 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5780 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5781 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5782 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5783 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5784 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5785
5786 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5787 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5788
5789 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5790
5791 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5792 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5793 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5794 the same hash value.
5795
5796 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5797 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5798 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5799 with X509_STORE internally.
5800
5801 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5802 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5803
5804 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5805 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5806 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5807 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5808 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5809 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5810 entirely (maybe later...).
5811
5812 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5813
5814 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5815 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5816 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5817 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5818 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5819 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5820 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5821 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5822
5823 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5824 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5825
5826 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5827 to customise the verify behaviour.
5828 [Steve Henson]
5829
5830 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5831 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5832 [Steve Henson]
5833
5834 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5835 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5836 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5837 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5838 request is improperly encoded.
5839 [Steve Henson]
5840
5841 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5842 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5843 BIO_write(b, ...).
5844
5845 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5846 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5847
5848 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5849 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5850 words set to zero.)
5851 [Bodo Moeller]
5852
5853 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5854 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5855 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5856 [Bodo Moeller]
5857
5858 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5859 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5860 BIO/fp routines also added.
5861 [Steve Henson]
5862
5863 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5864 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5865
5866 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5867 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5868 demos/state_machine.
5869 [Ben Laurie]
5870
5871 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5872 generation and verification.
5873 [Steve Henson]
5874
5875 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5876 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5877 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5878 encode and decode it manually.
5879 [Steve Henson]
5880
5881 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5882 compile under VC++.
5883 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5884
5885 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5886 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5887 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5888 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5889
5890 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5891 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5892 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5893 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5894 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5895 [Steve Henson]
5896
5897 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5898 [Richard Levitte]
5899
5900 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5901 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5902 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5903
5904 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5905 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5906 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5907 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5908 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5909 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5910 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5911 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5912
5913 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5914 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5915
5916 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5917
5918 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5919 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5920 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5921
5922 [Richard Levitte]
5923
5924 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5925 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5926 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5927 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5928 [Richard Levitte]
5929
5930 *) MD4 implemented.
5931 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5932
5933 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5934 [Richard Levitte]
5935
5936 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5937 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5938 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5939 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5940 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5941 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5942 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5943 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5944 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5945 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5946 short or long names are found.
5947 [Steve Henson]
5948
5949 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5950 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5951
5952 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5953 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5954 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5955 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5956
5957 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5958 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5959 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5960 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5961 [Bodo Moeller]
5962
5963 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5964 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5965 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5966 [Richard Levitte]
5967
5968 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5969 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5970 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5971 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5972 to allow the various flags to be set.
5973 [Steve Henson]
5974
5975 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5976 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5977 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5978 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5979 dates to be checked.
5980 [Steve Henson]
5981
5982 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5983 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5984 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5985 [Steve Henson]
5986
5987 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5988 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5989 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5990 [Steve Henson]
5991
5992 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5993 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5994 [Bodo Moeller]
5995
5996 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5997 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5998 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5999 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6000 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6001 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6002 [Richard Levitte]
6003
6004 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6005 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6006 Random Numbers.
6007 [Ulf Möller]
6008
6009 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6010 DSA key.
6011 [Steve Henson]
6012
6013 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6014 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6015 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6016 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6017 form signing output easier to verify.
6018 [Steve Henson]
6019
6020 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6021 [Steve Henson]
6022
6023 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6024 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6025 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6026 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6027 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6028 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6029 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6030 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6031 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6032 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6033 [Steve Henson]
6034
6035 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6036
6037 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6038 the syntax given in objects.README.
6039 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6040 obj_mac.h.
6041 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6042 obj_mac.h.
6043
6044 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6045 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6046 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6047 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6048 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6049 consistent name changes.
6050 [Richard Levitte]
6051
6052 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6053 [Bodo Moeller]
6054
6055 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6056 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6057 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6058 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6059 [Richard Levitte]
6060
6061 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6062 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6063 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6064 of safestack.h .
6065 [Steve Henson]
6066
6067 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6068 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6069 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6070 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6071 [Steve Henson]
6072
6073 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6074 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6075 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6076 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6077 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6078 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6079 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6080 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6081 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6082 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6083 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6084 [Steve Henson]
6085
6086 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6087 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6088 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6089 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6090 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6091 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6092 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6093 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6094 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6095 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6096 [Steve Henson]
6097
6098 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6099 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6100 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6101 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6102
6103 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6104 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6105 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6106 omit any duplicate addresses.
6107 [Steve Henson]
6108
6109 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6110 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6111 [Bodo Moeller]
6112
6113 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6114 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6115 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6116 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6117 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6118 [Bodo Moeller]
6119
6120 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6121 software:
6122 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6123 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6124 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6125 Free => OPENSSL_free
6126 [Richard Levitte]
6127
6128 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6129 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6130 [Bodo Moeller]
6131
6132 *) CygWin32 support.
6133 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6134
6135 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6136 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6137 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6138 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6139 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6140 approach.
6141 [Geoff Thorpe]
6142
6143 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6144 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6145 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6146 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6147 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6148 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6149 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6150 [Geoff Thorpe]
6151
6152 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6153 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6154 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6155 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6156 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6157 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6158 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6159 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6160 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6161 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6162 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6163 [Bodo Moeller]
6164
6165 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6166 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6167 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6168 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6169 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6170
6171 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6172 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6173 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6174 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6175 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6176
6177 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6178 ciphers.
6179
6180 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6181 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6182 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6183 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6184
6185 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6186
6187 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6188 of macros.
6189
6190 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6191 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6192 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6193 flags.
6194
6195 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6196 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6197 any installed hardware versions can.
6198 [Steve Henson]
6199
6200 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6201 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6202 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6203 number.
6204 [Bodo Moeller]
6205
6206 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6207 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6208 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6209 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6210 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6211
6212 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6213 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6214 [Steve Henson]
6215
6216 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6217 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6218 [Richard Levitte]
6219
6220 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6221 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6222 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6223 features.
6224 [Steve Henson]
6225
6226 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6227 [Ulf Möller]
6228
6229 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6230 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6231 but no ssl client purpose.
6232 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6233
6234 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6235 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6236 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6237 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6238 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6239 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6240 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6241 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6242 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6243 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6244 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6245 [Steve Henson]
6246
6247 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6248 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6249 be obtained from the error queue.
6250 [Bodo Moeller]
6251
6252 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6253 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6254 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6255 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6256 [Bodo Moeller]
6257
6258 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6259 [Ulf Möller]
6260
6261 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6262 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6263 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6264 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6265 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6266 [Geoff Thorpe]
6267
6268 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6269 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6270 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6271 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6272 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6273 [Geoff Thorpe]
6274
6275 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6276 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6277 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6278 may not be NULL.
6279 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6280
6281 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6282 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6283 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6284 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6285 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6286 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6287 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6288 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6289 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6290 or "the configuration storage API"...
6291
6292 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6293
6294 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6295 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6296
6297 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6298
6299 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6300
6301 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6302 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6303 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6304 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6305 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6306 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6307 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6308
6309 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6310 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6311 [Richard Levitte]
6312
6313 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6314 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6315 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6316 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6317 [Bodo Moeller]
6318
6319 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6320 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6321 them in a portable way.
6322 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6323
6324 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6325
6326 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6327
6328 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6329 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6330
6331 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6332 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6333 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6334 <attili@amaxo.com>]
6335
6336 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6337 was larger than the MD block size.
6338 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6339
6340 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6341 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6342 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6343 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6344 components.
6345 [Steve Henson]
6346
6347 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6348 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6349 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6350
6351 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6352 discouraged.
6353 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6354
6355 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6356 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6357 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6358 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6359 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6360 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6361
6362 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6363 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6364
6365 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6366 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6367 [Bodo Moeller]
6368
6369 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6370 [Bodo Moeller]
6371
6372 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6373 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6374 its own key.
6375 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6376 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6377 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6378 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6379 [Bodo Moeller]
6380
6381 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6382 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6383 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6384 does not suppress any output.
6385 [Richard Levitte]
6386
6387 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6388 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6389 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6390 with all the associated security issues.
6391
6392 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6393 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6394 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6395 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6396 use the value in the default purpose.
6397 [Steve Henson]
6398
6399 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6400 and fix a memory leak.
6401 [Steve Henson]
6402
6403 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6404 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6405 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6406 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6407 [Bodo Moeller]
6408
6409 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6410 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6411 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6412 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6413 [Bodo Moeller]
6414
6415 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6416 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6417 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6418 [Bodo Moeller]
6419
6420 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6421 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6422 [Bodo Moeller]
6423
6424 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6425 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6426 which was free.
6427 [Steve Henson]
6428
6429 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6430 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6431 [Bodo Moeller]
6432
6433 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6434 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6435 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6436 [Bodo Moeller]
6437
6438 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6439 number generation fails.
6440 [Bodo Moeller]
6441
6442 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6443 [Bodo Moeller]
6444
6445 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6446 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6447
6448 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6449 [Ulf Möller]
6450
6451 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6452 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6453
6454 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6455 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6456
6457 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6458
6459 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6460 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6461 [Steve Henson]
6462
6463 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6464 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6465
6466 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6467 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6468 [Ulf Möller]
6469
6470 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6471 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6472 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6473 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6474 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6475 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6476
6477 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6478 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6479 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6480 for example.
6481 [Steve Henson]
6482
6483 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6484 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6485 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6486 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6487 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6488 counter, some don't.)
6489 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6490 counters or duplicate objects.
6491 [Steve Henson]
6492
6493 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6494 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6495 [Steve Henson]
6496
6497 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6498 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6499 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6500
6501 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6502 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6503 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6504 or -rand.
6505 [Ulf Möller]
6506
6507 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6508 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6509 [Steve Henson]
6510
6511 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6512 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6513 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6514 cipher list.
6515 [Steve Henson]
6516
6517 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6518 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6519 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6520 [Steve Henson]
6521
6522 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6523 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6524 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6525 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6526 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6527 should work without changes.
6528 [Richard Levitte]
6529
6530 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6531 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6532 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6533 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6534 must be defined. E.g.,
6535 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6536 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6537 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6538 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6539
6540 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6541 record layer.
6542 [Bodo Moeller]
6543
6544 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6545 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6546 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6547 [Steve Henson]
6548
6549 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6550 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6551 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6552 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6553 [Steve Henson]
6554
6555 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6556 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6557 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6558 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6559 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6560 is prompted for as usual.
6561 [Steve Henson]
6562
6563 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6564 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6565 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6566 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6567
6568 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6569 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6570 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6571 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6572 [Steve Henson]
6573
6574 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6575 [Andy Polyakov]
6576
6577 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6578 of seed file.
6579 [Steve Henson]
6580
6581 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6582 [Bodo Moeller]
6583
6584 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6585 [Steve Henson]
6586
6587 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6588 bits.
6589 [Ulf Möller]
6590
6591 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6592 [Ulf Möller]
6593
6594 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6595 [Andy Polyakov]
6596
6597 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6598 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6599 [Ulf Möller]
6600
6601 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6602 options to produce them.
6603 [Steve Henson]
6604
6605 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6606 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6607 [Ulf Möller]
6608
6609 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6610 for p == 0.
6611 [Ulf Möller]
6612
6613 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6614 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6615 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6616 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6617 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6618 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6619 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6620 [Steve Henson]
6621
6622 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6623 [Steve Henson]
6624
6625 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6626 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6627 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6628 [Bodo Moeller]
6629
6630 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6631 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6632
6633 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6634 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6635 [Ulf Möller]
6636
6637 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6638 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6639 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6640 has already seen).
6641 [Bodo Moeller]
6642
6643 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6644 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6645
6646 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6647 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6648 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6649 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6650 generation becomes much faster.
6651
6652 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6653 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6654 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6655 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6656 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6657 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6658 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6659 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6660 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6661 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6662 [Bodo Moeller]
6663
6664 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6665 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6666 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6667 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6668 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6669 trial division stage.
6670 [Bodo Moeller]
6671
6672 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6673 as ASN1_TIME.
6674 [Steve Henson]
6675
6676 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6677 [Steve Henson]
6678
6679 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6680 [Ulf Möller]
6681
6682 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6683 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6684 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6685 the comments.
6686 [Ulf Möller]
6687
6688 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6689 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6690 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6691 [Bodo Moeller]
6692
6693 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6694 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6695 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6696 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6697
6698 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6699 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6700 [Steve Henson]
6701
6702 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6703 [Ulf Möller]
6704
6705 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6706 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6707 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6708 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6709 [Ulf Möller]
6710
6711 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6712 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6713 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6714 [Ulf Möller]
6715
6716 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6717 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6718 (instead of parameters) in future.
6719 [Steve Henson]
6720
6721 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6722 when a new cipher list is set.
6723 [Steve Henson]
6724
6725 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6726 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6727 wrong.
6728
6729 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6730 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6731 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6732
6733 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6734 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6735 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6736 an error is flagged.
6737
6738 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6739 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6740 the readability was also increased :-)
6741 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6742
6743 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6744 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6745 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6746 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6747 as the root CA.
6748 [Steve Henson]
6749
6750 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6751 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6752 [Steve Henson]
6753
6754 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6755 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6756 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6757 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6758 instead.
6759
6760 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6761 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6762 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6763 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6764 because they handle more complex structures.)
6765 [Steve Henson]
6766
6767 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6768 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6769 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6770 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6771
6772 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6773 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6774 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6775 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6776 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6777 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6778 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6779 [Ulf Möller]
6780
6781 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6782 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6783 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6784 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6785 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6786 [Bodo Moeller]
6787
6788 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6789 [Bodo Moeller]
6790
6791 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6792 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6793 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6794 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6795 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6796 to use this.
6797
6798 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6799 code.
6800 [Steve Henson]
6801
6802 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6803 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6804 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6805 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6806 [Steve Henson]
6807
6808 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6809 [Ulf Möller]
6810
6811 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6812 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6813 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6814 international characters are used.
6815
6816 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6817 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6818 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6819 in ASN1 order.
6820 [Steve Henson]
6821
6822 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6823 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6824 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6825 request.
6826
6827 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6828 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6829 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6830 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6831 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6832 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6833
6834 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6835 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6836 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6837 be handled by the string table functions.
6838
6839 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6840 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6841 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6842 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6843 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6844 types at all.
6845 [Steve Henson]
6846
6847 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6848 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6849 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6850 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6851 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6852
6853 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6854 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6855 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6856 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6857 [Bodo Moeller]
6858
6859 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6860 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6861 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6862 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6863 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6864 SHA1.
6865 [Andy Polyakov]
6866
6867 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6868 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6869 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6870 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6871 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6872 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6873 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6874 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6875
6876 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6877 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6878 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6879 [Steve Henson]
6880
6881 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6882 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6883 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6884 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6885 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6886 support to pkcs8 application.
6887 [Steve Henson]
6888
6889 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6890 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6891 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6892 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6893 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6894 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6895 [Bodo Moeller]
6896
6897 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6898 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6899 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6900 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6901 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6902 consistency.
6903 [Bodo Moeller]
6904
6905 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6906 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6907 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6908 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6909 example.
6910 [Steve Henson]
6911
6912 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6913 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6914 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6915 and any application specific purposes.
6916
6917 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6918 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6919 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6920 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6921 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6922 if the certificate is self signed.
6923 [Steve Henson]
6924
6925 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6926 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6927 [Steve Henson]
6928
6929 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6930 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6931 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6932 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6933 [Steve Henson]
6934
6935 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6936 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6937 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6938 Update documentation.
6939 [Steve Henson]
6940
6941 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6942 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6943 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6944 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6945 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6946 [Steve Henson]
6947
6948 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6949 for details.
6950 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6951
6952 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6953 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6954 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6955 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6956 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6957 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6958 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6959 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6960 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6961 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6962
6963 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6964
6965 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6966 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6967 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6968 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6969 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6970
6971 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6972 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6973 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6974 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6975 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6976 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6977 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6978 request additional information:
6979 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6980 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6981
6982 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6983 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6984 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6985 options.
6986
6987 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6988 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6989
6990 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6991 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6992 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6993
6994 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6995 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6996
6997 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6998 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6999 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7000 algorithm.
7001 [Steve Henson]
7002
7003 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7004 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7005 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7006
7007 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7008 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7009 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7010 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7011 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7012 included in OpenSSL.
7013 [Steve Henson]
7014
7015 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7016 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7017 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7018 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7019 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7020 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7021 [Bodo Moeller]
7022
7023 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7024 PKCS12 structure.
7025 [Steve Henson]
7026
7027 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7028 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7029 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7030 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7031 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7032 structure.
7033 [Steve Henson]
7034
7035 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7036 need initialising.
7037 [Steve Henson]
7038
7039 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7040 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7041 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7042 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7043 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7044 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7045 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7046 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7047 be maintained manually.
7048
7049 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7050 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7051 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7052 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7053 work because people forget to call this function]
7054 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7055 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7056 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7057 [Steve Henson]
7058
7059 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7060 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7061 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7062 should be discouraged from doing it.
7063 [Ben Laurie]
7064
7065 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7066 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7067 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7068 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7069 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7070 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7071 [Steve Henson]
7072
7073 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7074 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7075 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7076
7077 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7078 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7079 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7080
7081 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7082 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7083 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7084 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7085 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7086 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7087
7088 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7089 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7090 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7091
7092 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7093 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7094 and vice versa.
7095
7096 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7097 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7098 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7099 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7100 [Steve Henson]
7101
7102 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7103 [Steve Henson]
7104
7105 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7106 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7107 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7108 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7109 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7110 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7111 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7112 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7113 keys so we should be OK.
7114
7115 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7116 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7117 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7118 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7119 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7120 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7121 stay in the name of compatibility.
7122
7123 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7124 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7125 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7126
7127 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7128 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7129 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7130 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7131 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7132 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7133 supplied key).
7134 [Steve Henson]
7135
7136 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7137 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7138 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7139 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7140 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7141 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7142 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7143 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7144 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7145 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7146 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7147 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7148 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7149 [Steve Henson]
7150
7151 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7152 [Steve Henson]
7153
7154 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7155 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7156 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7157 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7158 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7159 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7160 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7161 openssl verify ss.pem
7162 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7163 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7164 is OK.
7165 [Steve Henson]
7166
7167 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7168 (and add it to external session representation).
7169 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7170 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7171 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7172 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7173 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7174 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7175 security holes.
7176 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7177
7178 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7179 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7180 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7181 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7182
7183 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7184 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7185 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7186 [Steve Henson]
7187
7188 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7189 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7190 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7191 code.
7192 [Steve Henson]
7193
7194 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7195 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7196 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7197
7198 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7199 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7200 certificate auxiliary information.
7201 [Steve Henson]
7202
7203 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7204 the 'enc' command.
7205 [Steve Henson]
7206
7207 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7208 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7209 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7210 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7211 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7212 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7213 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7214 [Richard Levitte]
7215
7216 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7217 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7218 [Steve Henson]
7219
7220 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7221 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7222 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7223 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7224 [Steve Henson]
7225
7226 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7227 [Steve Henson]
7228
7229 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7230 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7231 [Steve Henson]
7232
7233 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7234 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7235 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7236 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7237 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7238 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7239 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7240 using the new 'x509' options.
7241
7242 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7243 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7244 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7245 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7246 for all purposes.
7247 [Steve Henson]
7248
7249 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7250 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7251 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7252 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7253 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7254 [Mark Cox]
7255
7256 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7257 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7258 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7259 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7260 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7261 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7262 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7263 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7264 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7265 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7266 [Steve Henson]
7267
7268 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7269 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7270 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7271 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7272 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7273 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7274 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7275 [Steve Henson]
7276
7277 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7278 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7279 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7280 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7281 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7282 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7283 openssl.cnf for more info.
7284 [Steve Henson]
7285
7286 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7287 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7288 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7289 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7290 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7291 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7292 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7293 md should be large enough anyway.
7294 [Bodo Moeller]
7295
7296 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7297 for handling the random seed file.
7298
7299 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7300 ca,
7301 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7302 s_client,
7303 s_server,
7304 x509 (when signing).
7305 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7306 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7307 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7308
7309 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7310 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7311 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7312 that support '-rand'.
7313 [Bodo Moeller]
7314
7315 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7316 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7317 [Bodo Moeller]
7318
7319 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7320 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7321 [Bill Perry]
7322
7323 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7324 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7325 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7326 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7327 is suitable.
7328 [Steve Henson]
7329
7330 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7331 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7332 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7333 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7334 [Steve Henson]
7335
7336 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7337 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7338 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7339 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7340 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7341 print out all the purposes.
7342 [Steve Henson]
7343
7344 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7345 functions.
7346 [Steve Henson]
7347
7348 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7349 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7350 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7351 single function call.
7352 [Steve Henson]
7353
7354 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7355 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7356 [Andy Polyakov]
7357
7358 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7359 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7360 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7361 [Steve Henson]
7362
7363 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7364 when producing the local key id.
7365 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7366
7367 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7368 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7369 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7370 "server.pem".
7371 [Steve Henson]
7372
7373 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7374 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7375 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7376 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7377 [Steve Henson]
7378
7379 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7380 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7381 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7382 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7383
7384 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7385 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7386 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7387 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7388
7389 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7390 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7391 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7392 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7393 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7394 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7395 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7396 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7397 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7398 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7399 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7400 trivial: move one line.
7401 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7402
7403 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7404 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7405 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7406 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7407 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7408 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7409 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7410 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7411 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7412 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7413 with an event loop for example.
7414 [Steve Henson]
7415
7416 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7417 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7418 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7419 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7420 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7421 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7422 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7423 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7424 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7425 [Steve Henson]
7426
7427 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7428 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7429 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7430 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7431 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7432 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7433 [Steve Henson]
7434
7435 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7436 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7437 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7438 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7439
7440 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7441 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7442 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7443 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7444 key generation.
7445 [Steve Henson]
7446
7447 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7448 (still largely untested)
7449 [Bodo Moeller]
7450
7451 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7452 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7453 [Steve Henson]
7454
7455 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7456 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7457 [Steve Henson]
7458
7459 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7460 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7461 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7462 [Bodo Moeller]
7463
7464 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7465 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7466 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7467 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7468 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7469 [Steve Henson]
7470
7471 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7472 [Andy Polyakov]
7473
7474 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7475 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7476 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7477 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7478 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7479 in ca.
7480 [Steve Henson]
7481
7482 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7483 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7484 1.OU="Unit name 1"
7485 2.OU="Unit name 2"
7486 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7487 [Steve Henson]
7488
7489 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7490 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7491 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7492 are otherwise ignored at present.
7493 [Steve Henson]
7494
7495 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7496 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7497 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7498 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7499 copied until the next read.
7500 [Steve Henson]
7501
7502 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7503 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7504 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7505 [Steve Henson]
7506
7507 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7508 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7509 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7510 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7511 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7512 associated functions.
7513 [Steve Henson]
7514
7515 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7516 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7517 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7518 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7519 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7520 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7521 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7522 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7523 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7524 memory BIOs.
7525 [Steve Henson]
7526
7527 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7528 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7529 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7530 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7531 [Bodo Moeller]
7532
7533 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7534 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7535 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7536 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7537 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7538 functionality.
7539 [Steve Henson]
7540
7541 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7542 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7543 under Win32.
7544 [Steve Henson]
7545
7546 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7547 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7548 extensions to be obtained and added.
7549 [Steve Henson]
7550
7551 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7552 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7553 [Bodo Moeller]
7554
7555 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7556
7557 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7558 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7559
7560 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7561 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7562
7563 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7564 program.
7565 [Steve Henson]
7566
7567 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7568 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7569 DH parameters contain its length).
7570
7571 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7572 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7573 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7574 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7575 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7576 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7577 utter importance to use
7578 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7579 or
7580 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7581 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7582 attacks may become possible!
7583 [Bodo Moeller]
7584
7585 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7586 [Bodo Moeller]
7587
7588 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7589 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7590 [Steve Henson]
7591
7592 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7593 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7594 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7595 or long name.
7596 [Steve Henson]
7597
7598 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7599 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7600 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7601 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7602 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7603 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7604 private key operations.
7605 [Steve Henson]
7606
7607 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7608 [Andy Polyakov]
7609
7610 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7611 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7612 to
7613 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7614 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7615 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7616 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7617 the password callback is called.
7618 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7619
7620 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7621
7622 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7623 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7624 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7625 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7626 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7627 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7628 this will work.
7629
7630 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7631 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7632 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7633 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7634 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7635 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7636 [Bodo Moeller]
7637
7638 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7639 [Andy Polyakov]
7640
7641 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7642 delete an unused file.
7643 [Ulf Möller]
7644
7645 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7646 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7647 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7648 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7649 [Steve Henson]
7650
7651 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7652 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7653 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7654 of an error.
7655 [Bodo Moeller]
7656
7657 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7658 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7659 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7660
7661 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7662 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7663 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7664 comparison" warnings.
7665 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7666 [Steve Henson]
7667
7668 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7669 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7670 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7671 [Steve Henson]
7672
7673 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7674 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7675
7676 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7677 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7678
7679 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7680 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7681 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7682
7683 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7684 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7685 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7686 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7687 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7688 this bug.
7689 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7690
7691 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7692 The interface is as follows:
7693 Applications can use
7694 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7695 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7696 "off" is now the default.
7697 The library internally uses
7698 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7699 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7700 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7701
7702 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7703 even the default) are now avoided.
7704
7705 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7706 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7707 than just having a counter.
7708
7709 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7710
7711 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7712 extensions.
7713 [Bodo Moeller]
7714
7715 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7716 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7717 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7718 Initial "mode" flags are:
7719
7720 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7721 a single record has been written.
7722 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7723 retries use the same buffer location.
7724 (But all of the contents must be
7725 copied!)
7726 [Bodo Moeller]
7727
7728 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7729 worked.
7730
7731 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7732 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7733
7734 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7735 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7736 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7737 [Steve Henson]
7738
7739 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7740 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7741 test programs.
7742 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7743
7744 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7745 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7746 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7747 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7748 point to the end.
7749 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7750 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7751
7752 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7753 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7754 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7755 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7756 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7757 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7758 [Steve Henson]
7759
7760 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7761 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7762 necessary function names.
7763 [Steve Henson]
7764
7765 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7766 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7767 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7768 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7769 [Bodo Moeller]
7770
7771 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7772 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7773 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7774 [Steve Henson]
7775
7776 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7777 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7778 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7779 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7780 such programs?)
7781 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7782 need locks.
7783 [Bodo Moeller]
7784
7785 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7786 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7787 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7788 [Bodo Moeller]
7789
7790 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7791 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7792 appropriate.
7793 [Bodo Moeller]
7794
7795 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7796 for the encoded length.
7797 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7798
7799 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7800 [Steve Henson]
7801
7802 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7803 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7804 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7805 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7806 [Steve Henson]
7807
7808 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7809 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7810 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7811
7812 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7813 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7814 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7815 unusual formatting.
7816 [Steve Henson]
7817
7818 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7819 to use the new extension code.
7820 [Steve Henson]
7821
7822 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7823 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7824 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7825 constant.
7826 [Steve Henson]
7827
7828 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7829 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7830 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7831 [Bodo Moeller]
7832
7833 #if 0
7834 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7835 [Ben Laurie]
7836 #else
7837 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7838 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7839 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7840 #endif
7841
7842 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7843 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7844 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7845 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7846 [Ben Laurie]
7847
7848 *) DES library cleanups.
7849 [Ulf Möller]
7850
7851 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7852 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7853 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7854 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7855 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7856 of v2.0.
7857 [Steve Henson]
7858
7859 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7860 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7861 [Bodo Moeller]
7862
7863 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7864 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7865 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7866 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7867 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7868 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7869 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7870 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7871 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7872 [Steve Henson]
7873
7874 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7875 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7876 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7877 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7878 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7879 value doesn't matter.
7880 [Steve Henson]
7881
7882 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7883 support mutable.
7884 [Ben Laurie]
7885
7886 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7887 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7888 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7889 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7890
7891 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7892 [Ulf Möller]
7893
7894 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7895 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7896 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7897
7898 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7899 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7900
7901 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7902 [Ben Laurie]
7903
7904 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7905 [Ben Laurie]
7906
7907 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7908 [Ben Laurie]
7909
7910 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7911 [Bodo Moeller]
7912
7913
7914 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7915
7916 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7917
7918 *) Updated some demos.
7919 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7920
7921 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7922 [Wu Zhigang]
7923
7924 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7925 [Steve Henson]
7926
7927 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7928 [Steve Henson]
7929
7930 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7931 instead of using a fixed path.
7932 [Bodo Moeller]
7933
7934 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7935 [Andy Polyakov]
7936
7937 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7938 [Richard Levitte]
7939
7940
7941 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7942
7943 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7944 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7945 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7946
7947 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7948 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7949 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7950 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7951 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7952 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7953 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7954 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7955 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7956 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7957 [Steve Henson]
7958
7959 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7960 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7961 [Steve Henson]
7962
7963 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7964 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7965 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7966 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7967 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7968
7969 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7970 [Bodo Moeller]
7971
7972 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7973 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7974 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7975 [Steve Henson]
7976
7977 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7978 [Ben Laurie]
7979
7980 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7981 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7982 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7983 key elements as negative integers.
7984 [Steve Henson]
7985
7986 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7987 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7988
7989 *) VMS support.
7990 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7991
7992 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7993 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7994 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7995 [Steve Henson]
7996
7997 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7998 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7999 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8000 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8001 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8002 [Bodo Moeller]
8003
8004 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8005 [Ulf Möller]
8006
8007 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8008 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8009 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8010 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8011
8012 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8013 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8014 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8015
8016 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8017 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8018 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8019 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8020 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8021 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8022 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8023 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8024 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8025
8026 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8027 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8028 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8029 does not influence s as it used to.
8030
8031 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8032 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8033 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8034 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8035 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8036 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8037 [Bodo Moeller]
8038
8039 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8040 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8041 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8042 key type.
8043 [Steve Henson]
8044
8045 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8046 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8047 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8048 and 'x509').
8049 [Steve Henson]
8050
8051 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8052 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8053 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8054 extension option.
8055 [Steve Henson]
8056
8057 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8058 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8059 [Ben Laurie]
8060
8061 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8062 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8063
8064 *) Support Mingw32.
8065 [Ulf Möller]
8066
8067 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8068 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8069
8070 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8071 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8072
8073 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8074 [Ulf Möller]
8075
8076 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8077 [Anonymous]
8078
8079 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8080 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8081
8082 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8083 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8084 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8085 DER-encoded.)
8086 [Bodo Moeller]
8087
8088 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8089 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8090 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8091 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8092 now it really counts the depth.
8093 [Bodo Moeller]
8094
8095 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8096 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8097 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8098 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8099 didn't match the private key).
8100
8101 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8102 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8103 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8104 [Bodo Moeller]
8105
8106 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8107 [Ulf Möller]
8108
8109 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8110 David Harris.
8111 [Bodo Moeller]
8112
8113 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8114 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8115 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8116 [Bodo Moeller]
8117
8118 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8119 [Bodo Moeller]
8120
8121 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8122 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8123 such as /usr/local/bin.
8124 [Bodo Moeller]
8125
8126 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8127 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8128
8129 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8130 [Ulf Möller]
8131
8132 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8133 extension adding in x509 utility.
8134 [Steve Henson]
8135
8136 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8137 [Ulf Möller]
8138
8139 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8140 prototypes.
8141 [Steve Henson]
8142
8143 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8144 [Ulf Möller]
8145
8146 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8147 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8148 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8149 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8150 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8151 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8152 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8153 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8154 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8155 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8156 [Steve Henson]
8157
8158 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8159 [Bodo Moeller]
8160
8161 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8162 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8163 [Bodo Moeller]
8164
8165 *) Fix some race conditions.
8166 [Bodo Moeller]
8167
8168 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8169 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8170 [Steve Henson]
8171
8172 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8173 [Ulf Möller]
8174
8175 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8176 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8177 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8178 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8179
8180 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8181 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8182
8183 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8184 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8185 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8186
8187 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8188 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8189
8190 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8191 [Ulf Möller]
8192
8193 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8194 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8195
8196 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8197 [Ulf Möller]
8198
8199 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8200 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8201
8202 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8203 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8204 [Steve Henson]
8205
8206 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8207 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8208 [Ben Laurie]
8209
8210 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8211 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8212 [Steve Henson]
8213
8214 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8215 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8216 [Steve Henson]
8217
8218 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8219 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8220 [Steve Henson]
8221
8222 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8223 support typesafe stack.
8224 [Steve Henson]
8225
8226 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8227 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8228
8229 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8230 old X509V3 handling code.
8231 [Steve Henson]
8232
8233 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8234 [Ulf Möller]
8235
8236 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8237 [Bodo Moeller]
8238
8239 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8240 [Ben Laurie]
8241
8242 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8243 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8244
8245 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8246 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8247 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8248 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8249 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8250 [Ben Laurie]
8251
8252 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8253 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8254 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8255 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8256 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8257
8258 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8259 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8260 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8261 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8262
8263 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8264 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8265 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8266 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8267
8268 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8269 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8270 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8271 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8272 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8273 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8274 [Bodo Moeller]
8275
8276 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8277 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8278 [Bodo Moeller]
8279
8280 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8281 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8282 [Ulf Möller]
8283
8284 *) Tweaks to Configure
8285 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8286
8287 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8288 yet...
8289 [Steve Henson]
8290
8291 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8292 [Ulf Möller]
8293
8294 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8295 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8296 [Ulf Möller]
8297
8298 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8299 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8300 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8301 [Bodo Moeller]
8302
8303 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8304 [Bodo Moeller]
8305
8306 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8307 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8308 [Steve Henson]
8309
8310 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8311 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8312 to library startup routines.
8313 [Steve Henson]
8314
8315 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8316 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8317 codes along the way.
8318 [Steve Henson]
8319
8320 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8321 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8322 objects to objects.h
8323 [Steve Henson]
8324
8325 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8326 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8327 [Steve Henson]
8328
8329 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8330 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8331
8332 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8333 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8334 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8335
8336 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8337 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8338 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8339
8340 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8341 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8342 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8343
8344
8345 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8346
8347 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8348 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8349 [Ben Laurie]
8350
8351 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8352 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8353 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8354 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8355 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8356
8357 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8358 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8359 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8360 document.
8361 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8362
8363 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8364 Malloc, Free.
8365 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8366
8367 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8368 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8369
8370 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8371 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8372 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8373 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8374
8375 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8376 [Ben Laurie]
8377
8378 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8379 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8380 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8381 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8382 [Steve Henson]
8383
8384 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8385 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8386 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8387 [Steve Henson]
8388
8389 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8390 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8391 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8392 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8393 installed as `perl').
8394 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8395
8396 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8397 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8398
8399 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8400 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8401 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8402 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8403 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8404 [Steve Henson]
8405
8406 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8407 [Ben Laurie]
8408
8409 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8410 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8411 is horrible: I feel ill....
8412 [Steve Henson]
8413
8414 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8415 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8416 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8417 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8418 [Steve Henson]
8419
8420 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8421 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8422
8423 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8424 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8425 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8426 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8427
8428 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8429 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8430 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8431 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8432 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8433 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8434 openssl_bio.xs.
8435 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8436
8437 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8438 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8439
8440 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8441 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8442
8443 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8444 [Ben Laurie]
8445
8446 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8447 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8448 in CRLs.
8449 [Steve Henson]
8450
8451 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8452 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8453 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8454 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8455 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8456 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8457 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8458 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8459 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8460 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8461 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8462
8463 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8464 [Ben Laurie]
8465
8466 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8467 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8468 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8469 for linking it into DSOs.
8470 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8471
8472 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8473 Fixed.
8474 [Ben Laurie]
8475
8476 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8477 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8478 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8479 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8480 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8481 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8482
8483 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8484 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8485 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8486 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8487 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8488 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8489 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8490
8491 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8492 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8493 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8494 encryption.
8495 [Ben Laurie]
8496
8497 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8498 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8499 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8500 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8501 [Steve Henson]
8502
8503 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8504 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8505 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8506 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8507 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8508 field as blank.
8509 [Steve Henson]
8510
8511 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8512 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8513 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8514 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8515 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8516
8517 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8518 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8519 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8520
8521 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8522 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8523
8524 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8525 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8526 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8527 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8528 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8529 [Steve Henson]
8530
8531 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8532 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8533 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8534 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8535 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8536 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8537 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8538 [Ben Laurie]
8539
8540 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8541 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
8542 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8543 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8544 [Ben Laurie]
8545
8546 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8547 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8548
8549 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8550 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8551 [Steve Henson]
8552
8553 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8554 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8555 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8556 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8557 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8558 (e.g. s_server).
8559 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8560 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8561 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8562 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8563 no way to reconfigure them.
8564 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8565 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8566 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8567 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8568 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8569 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8570
8571 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8572 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8573 recognized by the users.
8574 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8575
8576 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8577 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8578 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8579 already masked variable.
8580 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8581
8582 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8583 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8584
8585 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8586 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8587 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8588 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8589
8590 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8591 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8592 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8593
8594 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8595 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8596 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8597 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8598 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8599 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8600 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8601 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8602 now, too.
8603 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8604
8605 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8606 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8607 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8608
8609 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8610 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8611 config file.
8612 [Steve Henson]
8613
8614 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8615 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8616
8617 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8618 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8619 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8620 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8621 [Ben Laurie]
8622
8623 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8624 [Steve Henson]
8625
8626 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8627 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8628
8629 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8630 [Ben Laurie]
8631
8632 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8633 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8634 [Steve Henson]
8635
8636 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8637 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8638 [Steve Henson]
8639
8640 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8641 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8642 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8643 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8644 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8645 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8646 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8647 Ben Laurie]
8648
8649 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8650 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8651
8652 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8653 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8654 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8655 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8656 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8657
8658 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8659 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8660 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8661 [Steve Henson]
8662
8663 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8664 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8665 an example.
8666 [Steve Henson]
8667
8668 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8669 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8670 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8671
8672 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8673 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8674 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8675 build instructions.
8676 [Steve Henson]
8677
8678 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8679 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8680 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8681 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8682 [Steve Henson]
8683
8684 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8685 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8686 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8687 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8688 [Ben Laurie]
8689
8690 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8691 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8692 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8693 so it wasn't spotted.
8694 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8695
8696 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8697 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8698 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8699 vectors if you have them.
8700 [Ben Laurie]
8701
8702 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8703 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8704 [Ben Laurie]
8705
8706 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8707 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8708 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8709 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8710 If you do a:
8711 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8712 it will update them.
8713 [Steve Henson]
8714
8715 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8716 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8717 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8718 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8719 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8720 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8721 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8722 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8723
8724 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8725 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8726 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8727 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8728 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8729 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8730 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8731 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8732 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8733 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8734
8735 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8736 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8737 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8738 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8739 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8740 [Steve Henson]
8741
8742 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8743 INTEGER code.
8744 [Steve Henson]
8745
8746 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8747 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8748
8749 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8750 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8751
8752 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8753 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8754 [Ben Laurie]
8755
8756 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8757 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8758
8759 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8760 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8761
8762 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8763 [Steve Henson]
8764
8765 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8766 few typos.
8767 [Steve Henson]
8768
8769 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8770 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8771 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8772 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8773
8774 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8775 [Steve Henson]
8776
8777 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8778 [Steve Henson]
8779
8780 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8781 [Steve Henson]
8782
8783 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8784 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8785 [Steve Henson]
8786
8787 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8788 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8789 CA extensions.
8790 [Steve Henson]
8791
8792 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8793 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8794 [Steve Henson]
8795
8796 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8797 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8798 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8799 [Steve Henson]
8800
8801 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8802 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8803 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8804 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8805 properly to be processed.
8806 [Steve Henson]
8807
8808 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8809 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8810 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8811 [Ben Laurie]
8812
8813 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8814 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8815
8816 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8817 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8818 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8819 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8820 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8821 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8822 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8823 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8824 or delete all the .err files.
8825 [Steve Henson]
8826
8827 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8828 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8829 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8830 to regenerate it if needed.
8831 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8832 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8833
8834 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8835 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8836
8837 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8838 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8839 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8840 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8841 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8842 [Steve Henson]
8843
8844 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8845 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8846
8847 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8848 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8849
8850 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8851 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8852 error, but didn't set one).
8853 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8854
8855 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8856 [Ben Laurie]
8857
8858 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8859 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8860 [Steve Henson]
8861
8862 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8863 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8864
8865 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8866 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8867 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8868 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8869 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8870 OID is not part of the table.
8871 [Steve Henson]
8872
8873 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8874 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8875 [Ben Laurie]
8876
8877 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8878 [Ben Laurie]
8879
8880 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8881 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8882 was "1234").
8883 [Steve Henson]
8884
8885 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8886 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8887
8888 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8889 NULL pointers.
8890 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8891
8892 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8893 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8894
8895 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8896 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8897
8898 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8899 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8900
8901 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8902 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8903 [Ben Laurie]
8904
8905 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8906 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8907 [Steve Henson]
8908
8909 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8910 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8911
8912 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8913 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8914
8915 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8916 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8917
8918 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8919 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8920
8921 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8922 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8923 unused in the certificate verification process.
8924 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8925
8926 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8927 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8928 [Steve Henson]
8929
8930 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8931 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8932 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8933
8934 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8935 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8936 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8937 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8938 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8939
8940 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8941 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8942 [Steve Henson]
8943
8944 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8945 [Steve Henson]
8946
8947 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8948 [Paul Sutton]
8949
8950 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8951 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8952
8953 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8954 [Ben Laurie]
8955
8956 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8957 [Ben Laurie]
8958
8959 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8960 [Ben Laurie]
8961
8962 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8963 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8964 other error libraries.
8965 [Steve Henson]
8966
8967 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8968 [Steve Henson]
8969
8970 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8971 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8972 be read in.
8973 [Steve Henson]
8974
8975 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8976 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8977 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8978 the new set of documenation files.
8979 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8980
8981 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8982 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8983 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8984 number of arguments.
8985 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8986
8987 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8988 [Ben Laurie]
8989
8990 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8991 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8992 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8993
8994 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8995 [Ben Laurie]
8996
8997 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8998 nextstep
8999 ncr-scde
9000 unixware-2.0
9001 unixware-2.0-pentium
9002 sco5-cc.
9003 [Ben Laurie]
9004
9005 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9006 before they are needed.
9007 [Ben Laurie]
9008
9009 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9010 [Ben Laurie]
9011
9012
9013 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9014
9015 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9016 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9017 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9018
9019 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9020 [Paul Sutton]
9021
9022 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9023 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9024 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9025
9026 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9027 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9028 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9029
9030 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9031 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9032 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9033
9034 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9035 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9036
9037 *) Updated the README file.
9038 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9039
9040 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9041 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9042 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9043
9044 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9045 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9046 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9047
9048 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9049 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9050 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9051 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9052 o removed obsolete TODO file
9053 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9054 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9055
9056 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9057 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9058 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
9059 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
9060 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
9061 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9062 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9063
9064 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9065 [Mark J. Cox]
9066
9067 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9068 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9069 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9070 summer 1998.
9071 [The OpenSSL Project]
9072
9073
9074 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9075
9076 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9077 [Eric A. Young]
9078
9079 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9080 [Eric A. Young]
9081
9082 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9083 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9084 [Eric A. Young]
9085
9086 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9087 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9088 available).
9089 [Eric A. Young]
9090
9091 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9092 binary structures
9093 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9094
9095 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9096 [Eric A. Young]
9097
9098 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9099 [Eric A. Young]
9100
9101 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9102 [Eric A. Young]
9103
9104 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9105 [Eric A. Young]
9106
9107 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9108 [Eric A. Young]
9109
9110 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9111 [Eric A. Young]
9112
9113 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9114 [Eric A. Young]
9115
9116 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9117 [Eric A. Young]
9118
9119 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9120 [Eric A. Young]
9121
9122 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9123 [Eric A. Young]
9124
9125 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9126 [Eric A. Young]
9127
9128 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9129 [Eric A. Young]
9130
9131 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9132 [Eric A. Young]
9133
9134 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9135 [Eric A. Young]
9136
9137 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9138 [Eric A. Young]
9139
9140 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9141 [Eric A. Young]
9142
9143 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9144 [Eric A. Young]
9145
